I wrestle with the same thoughts, celti. I've never been in the community part of MFP even though I've been a member for years. I really need some uplifting. I have lost 45 lbs, but it took me two years. I've never lost this slow in my life and it's because I'm not very mobile anymore with bad knees. I want to lose more…

Thank you for directing me here, sig.

240 lbs. Blessings to you all this week. Let's have a wonderful journey together!

Thank you so much!

I've never been in the community of MFP before. Is this thread the group page? If not, where is that and where do we post our first weigh-in?

Guess I did that wrong up there. I don't think my goal weight range should be 12 pounds. lol I was saying how much I wanted to lose for this time in this group. lol MY STARTING WEIGHT: 240 5/9/16: 5/16/16: (5/19/16) Last Weigh-in 240 5/23/16: 5/30/16: 6/6/16: 6/13/16: 6/20/16: 6/27/16: 7/4/16: 7/11/16: 7/18/16: 7/25/16:…

I apologize @GOINSTD12. I'm still trying to figure out the order of things with the quotes. And Nikion, I'm very sorry for misunderstanding your post. It's so easy to misunderstand in text because there is no way to hear how a person is saying something. Usually I take that into account when reading on message boards.…

Hi, Alyssa. My daughter just turned 30 and she has had five kids. She is on Trim Healthy Mama and has lost 50 lbs she put on after having her kids. I'm not promoting the diet. I'm just trying to encourage you that it is possible after having kids. I admire you for admitting your problem when you are a personal trainer.…

@GOINSTD12, I don't think that I have ever given an indication that there is any thoughts floating around in my head that once I finally lose some more weight I can rest on my laurels. In fact, the reason I want to get my knees replaced is so I CAN be more active and CAN do things I can't do now. I miss out on so much with…

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I need encouragement and accountability. I can't get out to get to any support groups. My dietician actually has phone consults with me because I just can't get to his office. He suggested these types of groups online. When we talked last, we looked at some of the groups here. I know…

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the community. I've been a member here for a few years, but since working with a dietitian, I haven't been coming here much. He thinks that I need daily accountability and suggested groups such as this online. I've lost 45 lbs., but it's taken me two years. I've NEVER lost weight this slowly…

You can do it!

Thank you. What does "level 10 results" mean?

I'm a bit concerned that none of you look like you are heavy at all. Is this just for shaping up or is it for serious weight loss. I've lost 45, but I have a good bit to go.

Yes! I'm working with a dietitian, but I need a way to stay motivated and accountable daily....heck, even hourly. lol Thank you for starting this. I have been a member for a few years but I've never participated in the community before and I haven't been coming to the site often since working with the dietitian. I can't…

Let me give you an example of messed up charts. lol I am 5 ft even. The charts say I should be 115 pounds. I was 185 when I got married and went up to 210 lbs in a year. I lost weight by eating right and doing aerobics three times a week. I got down to 135 lbs. Everyone kept telling me that I was losing too much weight.…
