  • Hey! I hear ya gurlie! I was 350 a less than a year ago, now I'm 250. For me I got gastric bypass surgery because I personally needed a boost, but since than, I've been dieting and working on eatting healthy. I think for me it's about the food you eat, you can't go wrong with fruit and veggies, but food that is processed food or starches can add up quickly! Also, don't forget that whatever you drink is also calories. My best advice is be honest with yourself about what you've eatten/drinken that day. If your not honest you can't improve :) Don't lose faith! You'll do it girl!

    Hi Jenny!

    Don't be afraid, you can do this and you will do this! So what you miss a goal, don't get discouraged just get right back at it. YOU CAN DO THIS just push and keep pushing!!!
  • At 46 years old I thought weight gain was just a normal part of reaching middle age. I thought I'd never be able to lose weight again...it would be too hard.

    Using all the resources on MFP, being dedicated and having the support of others who are traveling my same path have made my first 27 lbs lost the easiest it has ever been. I'm empowered now.

    This isn't a diet. This is a LIFE CHANGE. You CAN do this! If I can, YOU can!

    Add me if you need more support!

    Best advice I was ever given:
    No food is off limits.

    If you like cake, ice cream, or pizza then have it. go for the smaller sizes.


    My biggest downfalls to my diets was not allowing my self those items so after a few months I would go crazy.


    I wish you luck on your weight loss, you can do it
