I've lost over 110 LBS!!
It was simply by hard work!! No fads, no gimmicks, (these things may LOOK GOOD on ads, but the reality of them never work out long term). I cut back my calories, I tracked all of my food, I started off so slowly with exercise because when you weigh 288 lbs it's NEVER EVER EASY!! Now I am at 175 (BYE BYE 113 lbs!) What did…

Body fat percentage
So today was my weigh in day and the day I use my tape measure. The ultimate goal here is to lower my body fat percentage. It’s always uncomfortable going up a little on my scale. I gained a few ounce(which I know could be water retention) but my measuring across the board has went down. So I’ve lowered my body fat…

Weight relapse (gained 20+ pounds)
I was on a consistent healthy diet and exercised 4 days a week and lost 18 pounds in 6 months, but then earlier this year I had enormous stresses in my life which cause me to stress-eat and gain everything back and more. Felt like giving up, but downloaded MFP to try and restart my weight loss journey. Any tips on how I…

Its just not easy to lose on my own
How many times have I started to lose weight only GAIN IT BACK? This has been a life time struggle. Oh I know I am not alone. If it were easy I'd of been at goals over 8 years ago. Being older it's surely not easy, but I also did not find it easy when I was in my 40's or even 50's. I first gained weight in my mid 30's, but…

Looking for support in weight loss/maintaining?
Years ago I weighed 288 lbs, I am now at 175 lbs, GONE a TOTAL of 113 lbs!!! When I first started at 256 with another site, since that point we've transferred to MFP, I was in a power chair 97% of the time. Being in the powerchair was not all because of weight, I did get medical help on that, but the weight surely made it…

Favorite workout clothes brand and why?
I'm a combination of Lulu Lemon, Nike and Adidas. All for different reasons. Lululemon shorts the best. Nike and Adidas T-shirts just seem to fit without being baggy.
