Took a while
On 2014-01-20 I started here at 385lbs. Today I hit 285, down 30lbs since Oct. Many restarts over the years but I love that MFP has kept track of this. Low sodium seems to be key for me. If I keep that goal then the calories and everything else fall into place.

What’s Your Simple Pleasure?
Brought the dog in from a rainy walk. He went mental, running up and down stairs, throwing himself on the floor, rolling over wildly, jumping on all the furniture, and barking like it was the greatest thing in the world. He does this after baths, too. So simple but gives him so much pleasure, and I enjoy watching the fool.…

Walking around the track...
I joined a gym to walk around the track for the year. In Heart Failure clients, we can't walk in the cold. It makes our heart work too hard. From Sudden Cardiac Death, we can die. I walked around the track with soccer game going, kids out running me, kids playing on the track, etc. This is better than sitting home and…

Getting Shredded
I started this journey in a pretty bad place. I was 240 lbs and I am only 5 feet 9. Let's just say that I was pretty fat. I have dropped 30 lbs now and I am starting to see some signs of muscle definition again. I am not yet where I want to be as I am sitting at about 19% body fat. I think I will see a huge difference if I…

Losing pain with the weight
I'm a very slow loser, the journey is taking years. One of my issues is joint pain; hips, knees and ankles making walking for exercise hard. I would go for a walk and be incapacitated for a week. Then I crossed a threshold of weight loss and that went away. I could walk an hour or more every day without pain. Well, until…

Losing weight, and chronic pain
The most difficult thing for me was trying to lose weight when I have so much pain and cannot work out. In April somebody took a picture of me and I looked so terrible that I thought – wow I really have to do something. That began my journey to figure out how to slowly change my diet permanently and I started watching…

MFP is the best tool in my diet and exercise toolbox. What's yours?
I've started a great habit since Nov 11, 2023. It is logging my food and exercise on MFP. This morning I woke up, jumped on the scale (as I do every day) and logged my weight in MFP. I was discouraged to see my weight was the same today as yesterday, then I realized I could click the button on the Reports tab to change the…

130 lbs.... unrealistic???
I was told today by my best friend that because of my size I will NEVER be 130 and look healthy. I'm 5'7", and was told by my doctor that 130-135 is the best goal I could go for. Are there any ladies here that are 5'7" and are 130-135 lbs?? I hope my friend isn't just saying that cause she doesn't want me skinnier than…

I can’t believe it works!
So I’ve been consistently logging for over a week now, and I can’t believe it works! I’m down 6lbs so far. I’ve tried a lot of restrictive dieting in the past, for example extended juice fasts to lose weight since nothing else seemed to work. It’s nice to know that I can still enjoy the foods I like and lose weight as long…

Health related! I don't have to go to the Endocrinologist for 3 months!
My A1C went from 12.3 to 7.1. My glucose numbers are 150-170. This is much different than over 500 at the hospital. I had 5 viruses in my legs. Infection raises your glucose level considerably. I will be working hard to give up daily sugar.

LOSE WEIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
With Thanksgiving coming up, our Christmas decorating day the day after where we always have out snacks, and then all the holiday parties, it is my goal to lose weight BEFORE Christmas. I have NEVER done that before. I know it is a challenge but even if it is only a pound or two it is better than gaining.
