hello..i'm trying to save a life..(mine)

Welcome John, I started at 330 lbs but mfp helped me to lose over 50 lbs and I have 126 to go. I can do it! I've already accomplished some non-scale victories I never thought I could at my current weight. I did my first 5k last Sat! Set some small goals/milestones for yourself and start conquering them one at a time! You can do it! I hope you find all the support you need. Stay positive, I think thats the key. I'm sending u a friend request.

feel free to add me. my advice..track everything you eat even on days you go over the daily goal. dont cut down too fast and dont deprive yourself of any food groups...

I sent you a request. Feel free to ask me anything you want on fitness and diet. I will do all I can to help and assist you in this journey. Good luck my friend, you can do this!

Hi John, I saw something that may help you. Don't think of the big number you have to lose - that can stop you in your tracks. Instead, just try to lose 1 lb - 300 (or whatever the number is) times. It's easier to achieve.

Hang in there and feel free to add me as a buddy. I'd be glad to help you keep motivated.

One day at a time...and don't give up! That goes for me as well )

You have a lolng road ahead of you, but it is MUCH better than no road. You will keep learning new things. Like not to pile up diet books with a plate of snacks.(me before). Lying about not eating the free pie on Wed. at Baker's sq. (old me). I can burn all of this food off, yeah I am 55 and i am going to run around the entire City of Chicago. Jealous of other people's food, still a little bit like that, some things take time to change. My youngest is thin and she said something to me that clicked. "How long will it take you Mom to eat that donut"? I said "about 3 moinutes". She asked" how long does it take to burn it off"? Good point. We need to ask ourselves about the better choices taking longer to chew and fewer calories, but still some enjoyment. Good luck, stay with it and you will win!!

Welcome! Take it one day at a time, I started out over 300 lbs. I'm glad I started every day! Feel free to add me

Yeah, hopefully....too bad he isn't active anymore.

You can do it
Good Luck xx

what does "class="strong">toan>o! " mean ???

Welcome back.

I have no idea.

How are you doing?

You got this. We all have to start somewhere. Feel free to add me

I lost both my mum and brother to Type 2 diabetes so now as a prediabetic I am determined to lose the weight I need to lose in order to be slim and healthy again but mainly to prevent diabetes. I have lost 2kg already with intermittent fasting, eating the right foods and most of all mindset, be determined.

Your life, you as a person are precious to your loved ones. I focus on them more than I do on myself. I do this for them first and me second. Dont know if that is right or wrong but it works for me.

You can save your own life John I know you can do this.

Day 64: Doctor's check in, My care provider was very pleased with my results, my A1c went from 8.7 down to 7.0. I lost 56 lbs according to their scale weighing in at 459 lbs. My blood pressure has improved greatly according to my doc. I think overall I'm doing good, I'm sleeping better....am just better I guess.

Congrats on your successes so far!

just take it a day at a time. keep logging. exercise how and when you can. just keep going, even when you feel discouraged (and you will at times) - it's worth it and we are all here to support you! feel free to add me as a friend!

Also - one of the things I use for motivation is to log into www.ilostwhat.com as you go along and enter your total weight loss once a month! It tells you what your weight loss is equivalent to. for example, I think it says 3 pounds is a chihuahua, 8 lbs is a human head, etc.... it gives you a visual of the amount of weight that is actually gone from your body! It's a fun way to look at it. If you are on social media like facebook it will let you post it to your page so your friends can see it
