WOW! You are doing great. Keep it up. I think that your change is amazing and I think that you are going to do anything that you set your mind to. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing. I am inspired from your story. Keep up the good work!

Great job!! You are so right about wanting it. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats! I read your post and decided to look up what my BMI is. I too am "only obese!" It seems like I was morbidly obese forever. Thanks for the share and giving me a boost too.

To log in every day for 100 days. I have reached 51 days today and that is the longest streak I have ever done. :)

If you are always eating and never feel full you may have a thyroid problem. Get your labs checked with your doctor and they can tell. Your thyroid may be underpreforming and need a little medication to boost it to normal. I lost my thyroid to a benign (non-cancerous) mass that had to be removed because of where it was…

Went to my employer provided fitness trainer. I came by my own choice so she said that she will have to make up a new kind of care plan because I am the first employee ever that wasn't sent by Employee Wellness Dept to decrease insurance premiums. (I get mine though my husband.) We have 5000+ employees. She says that she…

I didn't lose the weight that I thought that I would by this point (7 weeks) and it was only -0.2 lbs this week! I had what I will call a pity party and ate my feelings. (My feelings were half a package of chocolate chip cookies with Cool Whip as dip.) I did not log my food. Today I had huge regret and I went back and…

Keep it up girl! I love your list and I laughed out loud at #10. Your description of an angy couch potato is spot on. I have started and stopped many times in the past and was even successful but lost the way. I have just discovered MFP and it is helping me more than any other program I have tried. Your story is an…

I always try to end and start my day looking for inspirational posts. Thank you for sharing your story and for sharing your hope. I will try to remember your words and congrats to you!

" How do I feel about weighing myself during menstrual cycle?" Crabby and grumpy.

Amen sister! I too was a fizzler and I have to remind myself that yes it is going to take me a year to do this but if I don't do it now I will still be a year older and no better. Thanks for the post and you keep it going because it is working for you!

Look up chair exercises, the kind you can do sitting. And whatever you do make sure your foot is healed before you exercise on it. The damage done when you push foot injuries will haunt you when you are in the" middle ages."

Congrats on your success and thank you for sharing it with us. I have just begun my journey and I was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of weight I have to lose but you have shown me that nothing is impossible. I hope you find continuing success with your maintenance.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. You have done amazingly well. Keep it up!

You are an inspiration and have a new confident smile. You can achieve your goals!

Have you had your thyroid levels checked? I had a friend who was on Wight Watchers and gained weight. Her doctor did not believe her but when she showed him her food logs so he then checked her thyroid and put her meds. It all started to come off. She made it to goal and is now a leader for W.W.

The weather was super nice on Sunday and my husband and I went for a walk on some trails in our local woods. He kept asking if I was OK, Did I need to rest?, Did I need to head back? Normally my knees would have just been screaming but I was doing great. We walked all over that park for 2+ hours. We later figured it up…

Have you seen a doctor about this? I would do that first. Water aerobics or just walking in the pool would help with movement without pain.

I am new here and I am really inspired by your story. I am going to incorporate some of your strategies into my routine. I did not want to measure anything before now because I knew it would only depress me on how big I have become. I could always hide it under my clothes. Now I want to go home and get my measurements so I…

You have worked hard and it shows. What if you did an inventory of what you lost too? Pain in knees, back, feet? What have you gained? Energy, stamina, not denying yourself that walk up 2 flights of stairs because you could not do it before? Think about what this journey has brought to you. When you started you wanted to…

One day I woke up and put on my glasses and they were too tight. Literally squeezing my round fat face. I gained just enough to make them not fit properly. It was like having a fat wardrobe was just the norm but I couldn't get wider glasses too! ENOUGH! Joined MFP.

It was like I was in a trance. I knew I wanted to limit my intake and yet I had a big meal with each side of the family. I filled out my food diary honestly of what I could remember I ate. "If you ate like this every day you would weigh (12 lbs more) by May 6th." Yikes! What was different this year was that I did not get…

I have been using it for the first time for the last 2 and a half weeks. I am honest with myself what I log in and I have lost 7 lbs. (with 70+ to go.) I have tried to do the same thing at home and I would be good for a day, or a meal, or until free hot chocolate chip cookies called my name. By loging in daily I find…

I am a nurse that work with diabetics every day. You have done well, congratulations! Now I will tell you what I tell all of my patients. If you need medications it is not because you have been "Bad." It is because the pancreatic cells that create insulin have slowly started to stop. There is no test to see how many of…
