Excess Skin
Wasn't sure where to put this, but had a suggestion from a friend of mine who just lost about 150 lbs. :drinker: to her! She is 33 yrs old and lost the weight, slowly and healthy.

Could you quit food completely if it were possible?
I can go for hours and hours and hours without eating (no, I generally don't), but as soon as I taste food, it's all I can think about. I think I could easily quit food...if that were possible. As much as I love food, I think I hate it equally as much for becoming such a burden in my life. If you could pop an "all in one"…

Interesting post about loose skin.

Having dealt with the excess skin issues w/patients over the past five years, these have been my observations: If you have less than 50-80 pounds to lose and have been relatively "good" w/ things like smoking, tanning,…

Why is it so hard to loose weight when you get older???
I have been doing MFP for a month, workiing out 4-5 times a day and for the most part staying within my calorie allotment. I saw a little decrease, and then of course my period came, and I am back up. I am trying to stay motivated, and do feel better, but I wish I could see the scale reflecting all of the hard work. This…

Stubborn Mental Block
So when I first joined MFP I was full steam ahead.

But as of lately I have no desire to work out or eat healthy, yet I…
