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!

I've Lost 60 Pounds and FEEL GREAT!
I'm so very happy. At age 75 I've lost 60 pounds (down from 270 to 210). It's taken 18 months, but it wasn't hard. I now have more energy and strength than I've ever had. I went from being almost bedbound to moving about freely. No more motorized scooters in the grocery stores, no more having to get help getting up off the…

It’s over!
Just finished my first ever NPC Bodybuilding show, it was a huge undertaking, but worth it! So much knowledge was gained through this experience! I learned a lot about myself and what the human body is really capable of doing under extreme duress. Never be afraid to make yourself uncomfortable!

Goal! New Goal to set
Hi Everyone: I've just made my latest weight loss goal. I'm now in "Onederland". I had to get to 199 lbs. in order to qualify to be assessed for hip replacement surgery. Now, I've set my new goal at 150 lbs. I've been losing height while I'm losing weight, so that doesn't help my BMI. I wish you all success!

Before & After - 4 Months | -60 Lbs... How are others doing?!
About 4 months ago to the day I decided enough was enough. Logged back into MFP and started setting realistic, and progressive goals for myself and paying attention to my diet. I really enjoy running and got myself a Tonal exercise machine for strength/resistance training (which has been amazing, but that's another story).…

20lb lost in 3 months
After trying for the last few years to just exercise my weight off (without diet) and of course failing I stumbled onto MFP. So glad I did. I'm 5'8 and started at about 188lb. I've been on a 1600 cal goal (no added exercise calories unless I do something epic). It honestly has not been that difficult to do. I'm not into…

Long Battle
It’s been a long road to get to where I’m at now. In 2012 I started my journey tipping the scales at 268#. I lost 85# but it took me 5 years to do. I was able to keep that off for 4 years. Then in 2022 I really started making a concerted effort to control my diabetes. I started losing weight again. Now after a 10 year…

71 lbs down
Last June 29 I decided I had to get into shape. I had surgeries for carpal tunnel scheduled in October and wanted to be healthy to speed up the healing process. Well the weight loss went well and so did the surgeries. 1500 calories a day max and a fair amount of jogging. I took up Boxing and MMA in December and hit my goal…

You are now a type two diabetic." I fell into depression. Lost and gained 30+ lbs within 2 months. My endocrine would say: "Why do you…
