Don't be discouraged. I quit weighing for a while and just use my clothes as a guide. I went from a size 8 to a 12 almost 14 over a period of 6 months do to getting sick last year and spending a couple months on steroids. My goal is to get back to the 8's. Even though the scale says one thing, my pants don't lie. I can…

What an inspiration both of you are. Thanks for sharing your story .

Now that is motivation for me just seeing someone else progress to their goal, congratulations!

I gained almost 40 lbs after being on Prednisone for almost 4 months for a lung infection last year. I ate every thing I could get my hands on. Every couple of weeks at the Dr I would step on the scale and it was up 5 lbs every time. Everyone kept saying don't worry, you will lose it when you get back healthy again but I…

I usually reply if it's something I can relate to or if it is someone that just needs lots of encouragement or support. I try and reply to most new folks when I come on to let them know someone is out there listening to their story.

I work in an office and sit all day as well. I got a treadmill and jump on it whenever I have a few minutes, usually 20 minute increments but it all adds up.
-
I cut out as much of the carbs as possible. No rice, potatos, pasta, bread. I have added back in stuff like those really thin smart bagels for sandwiches though. When I really started looking at what I was eating, those items were the bulk of my diet every day. The treadmill has become my best friend and I've really gotten…

ok, I'll bite. I have no idea why I weigh my food other than to make sure my 4 oz chicken breast is in fact, 4 oz's and I have no clue what a macro is. Let's just start from there and go forward. :D

I've been on for about a month and it has been really effective and motivating for me. I don't post a whole lot but reading others triumphs, stories, goals, and stumbles helps keep me on track. I log everything that goes in my mouth and have almost become obsessive about it, but the weight is coming off just as expected.…

If I use my BMI, I look weird, I have big boobs and curves and it's a blessing and a curse. I look completely off balance when I am below 150 so that keeps me in the over weight category but I don't mind at all. I feel healthy and good about myself at around 155 even though my BMI says I should be 10 lbs lighter and my Dr.…

I did away with most of my carbs, no potato's, pasta, bread, or rice and to be honest I really don't miss them. That was advise from my Doc to get my diet moving and keep up a steady loss of 1 1/2 to 2 lbs per week. I don't feel nearly as stuffed or bloated all the time with all that out of my diet. I've added back in an…

All the before and after pics are a huge motivator for me, please don't be afraid to post them.

I also cut up tons of veggies each Sunday night and leave them in a big bowl in the fridge and take a baggie full for my drive to work to munch on. Carrots, celery, mushrooms, lots of radishes and colored peppers. For chocolate cravings I keep a half gallon of chocolate almond milk and drink about 1/2 cup. It's filling and…

LOL! Okie Dokie. Lose weight so that when you need to tie your shoe, you do it without thinking about it. Lose weight so you can chase your grandkids around the yard. Lose weight to show your husband that if a girl can do it, so can he., lose weight so when you step on the scale at the Dr. office he doesn't give you the…

How flippin awesome is that? I love it and wish you much success in your weight loss.

Originally sunny So Cal, until my husbands mid-life crisis 5 years ago brought me back to his roots so I now am a proud citizen of Liberty, South Carolina, otherwise known as somewhere in the middle of nowhere where eventually something really big is going to happen. It just hasn't happened yet. or It ain't food unless…

To get me started, I cut out most of my carbs which was a little hard at first because I am a bread and butter addict! I stopped all the white carbs for a month and then only added back my little thin bagels. No bread, potatoes, pasta, or rice and stuck mostly to high protein stuff. My main meals at the supper table are…

I was wondering the same thing myself. I started working out on my sons weight bench set to tone up and really enjoy that more then the treadmill.

Hi Jewel, please add me as well and we can support each other and anyone else for that matter. I stopped smoking last year after being hospitalized for resp failure and have battled back from that all year. I'm finally back to no breathing issues but in the process of quitting smoking and 4 months on Prednisone, I have…
