Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I've posted here but just wanted to check in. Wish I had more time to write my thoughts here. Anyway I'm doing well. I've lost 17 pounds since late May. I started the Ketogenic diet. It's working for me. I feel more energy, mental fog is lifting, my mood has improved and best of all…

Good evening everyone, just checking in to say hello and wish all a great week. Sorry to not respond to each person's post, but I just don't have the energy for it. I have had some health issues related to stress and I can't allow myself to get caught up in much right now. I just come here for a little encouragement and to…

Hi everyone, It's Friday night and I am pooped! Another long week at work. I am glad to have a couple of days off. Your stories are inspiring and make me feel like I'm part of a special community. I miss having girlfriend time. Work has just dominated my life for years. This year I will try to achieve more balance. I hope…

My pool filling quickly!

Hi everyone, just checking in tonight. I'm getting used to the daily food diary again. It's all about mindful eating for me. I've done a lot of mindless eating when I'm not even hungry. I'm moving more, too. We're experiencing the strongest rainstorm in L.A. In 7 years, so I've stayed inside most of the day relaxing.…

Hi Barbie and everyone, I'm back after about a year. I am going to give this a try again. Keep thinking I can do this on my own, butter I can't. I have 65 lbs. to lose this year. Any encouragement is appreciated. I'm 58 and this is getting old! Kristina from California

Michele, thanks foe the welcome back! I'm sticking with it this time.

You look healthier. Thank you for the inspiration.

Hello, I have been away for a while, but I am back at MFP. I am now 57 years old and have been struggling even more with my weight loss. It does get harder when you get older. Menopause and metabolic decline really suck! I went back to the doctor and my blood sugar is not doing well. My A1C was 7.1. I am upset. It should…

What do you eat?

You look great! I am just starting out at 235 lbs. my goal is 165. What is helping you the most?

Look healthy now. I weigh 235 and need to reach 165. How did you do it?

Hello Dan, your story is pretty amazing. How did you stay motivated? My 25-year-old son Jack looks like your before picture, and has finally decided to do something about his weight. I sent your story to him to motivate him. I am also working on my weight - need to lose 70 lbs. even that seems overwhelming at times. You…
