Battel Won! War continues.
I went to my Dr. Saturday and showed him my FreeStyle Libra logs for the last months and my My Fitness Pal reports and... He discontinued my insulin! It was sure nice to tell the pharmacist I did not need that refill on Lantus! I am still on Metformin (so the war goes on), but my blood sugar is not even pre-diabetic at…

Ideas for a One-derland reward?
Okay, I'm needing some advice (I figured this would be the most relevant forum to post in since I don't know where else this would fit). So far I'm 64lbs down and I'm edging closer and closer to being below 200lbs. It's been about 15 years since I was below this threshold. Honestly, I never thought I would see it again,…

Jeans
Well I see a lot of you remarking about "real" jeans and some that rather live in leggings. It entirely depends on what you plan on doing in either one. I for one live mostly in Jeans as I do a lot of outside Yard work. Would not consider leggings for cutting shrubs, trees or even grass. But leggings are ideal for exercise…

How do you log your food?
Hi Friends - looking for your advise. I'm flipped and flopped from logging in MFP vs. my Fitbit and I'm back on MFP. When tracking your food, do you: - Log it as you consume - Log it at the begining of the day (or week) and check it off as you go - revising throughout the day if needed - Log at the end of the day I have my…

NY resolution
Hi! I started eating healthy and drinking less (way less) after seeing my pictures at Christmas. I didn’t even share pics because I was so horrified at how puffy my face was. I decided that life is too short not to share pictures of special moments in my life. I started a NY resolution, and, yes, they do work with the…

It's a new journey every day
Three whole years ago I started this health and wellness journey. When the world was shutting down for COVID, I was hitting my treadmill or the pavement and choosing to fuel my body instead of comfort my body with instant gratification that I would very soon regret. I lost almost 50 lbs and have managed to keep it off all…

What 40lbs looks like...
I'm only mid-journey right now. I started December 27th last year with a goal to lose 100lbs. I'm 6'1" and started at 280lbs. I decided to take a starting picture on January 4th because I hadn't yet and did it for the heck of it. I'm glad I did. I've lost nearly 40lbs now and decided since I was all dressed up for Easter…

Lost 30+ lbs, figured out why I'm at a plateu, and had a non-scale victory!
May 31, 2022, I weighed 390 lbs and I decided that enough was enough. I couldn't fit in the bathtub, (TMI) couldn't wipe my own butt, and couldn't even get out of bed without help. Walking around and shopping was impossible. I was actually wanting to just give up then and there. Well, since May 31 2022 to August 18 2022 I…

Still not a "success story", but one year on
It was a year to the day yesterday that I started dieting and going to the gym on a regular basis. When I started out I was roughly 326lbs, now I'm 90+lbs lighter. I was always somebody who couldn't tell the difference from how I am now to how I used to be, probably because I saw myself every day. The main reason I'm…

My Turn to Overshare My Adventure
One year ago today, my doctor gave me a prescription for thyroid medication. The obligatory prescription warning fell out….and as it fell, it unfolded and billowed to the floor like the giant parachute on one of those toy green army men. That got my attention. I called the doctor’s office, asked for ninety days to lose…

Never too old
I had been a yo-yo dieter my whole like until I found MFP in my late 60s. I'm 78 now and have kept 20-21 pounds off for ten years. It's part of my morning routine to plan what I'll eat for the day for less than 1450 calories. It does work!

First time poster but long time user! I’ve struggled to maintain weight for the last 6 years and gained a lot after the birth of my son. In February of 2022, I reached my highest weight of 210 pounds and something clicked that this was it! A year and 2 months later, 80+ pounds down and started incorporating strength…
