so far by eating healthy food & watching portion sizes, as well as regular exercise, I've brought my blood sugars down to normal for the first time in years! I'm on day 125 & am down 56 pounds got around 60 more to go.

It's doable! & the journey is much more pleasant with friends along the way. I'm 52 with around 100 to 120 to lose & so far i'm down 53 pounds. If i can do this, you can to :) One step at a time, maybe start with one small change then 2 small changes...... Feel free to add me, I try to be supportive & encouraging for all,…

welcome to MFP, i also have Hypothyroidism, controlled by meds with the occasional odd episodes happening. Currently down 53 pounds with 60 or left to go on Day 111. I've been eating healthy & watching my portions sizes. I've cut out as much added sugar as i am able, increased veggies. no particular diet as i feel this…

i love these kind of threads, so inspirational :) & yes it can be done! I never thought i'd be this far along my journey but i'm really happy to have lost 53 pounds with 60 some odd to go. the first step along the journey is hard but keep going. it is not easy & i struggle at time with temptation & over eating but so far…

welcome to MFP :) it is doable, read the sticky help notes, they were a huge help to me. i am prediabetic controlled by medication however my blood sugars have recently gone down to normal with losing 50 pounds & lots of exercise. Weigh your foods with a food scale & yes i weigh everything even at work. My co-workers are…

all the best to you in this new journey :)

I'd be changing your goals in MFP, you really need to eat more calories, more like 2000 & over Check http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/bmr/ or http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/to see what you really need to eat

having to lose over a hundred pounds is such a scary number. but small goals along the way make it so much better! I'm down 44 with 76 to go. I'm not dieting, i'm doing a lifestyle change. I'm learning control & if i don't have control over certain foods yet i just say to myself i choose to not have this yet. All the best…

Trav All great advice! for us all. thank you :)

good for you Shadowconn, for being motivated to do something. good luck along your journey to health :)

I wish there was a like button for people's posts :) Wonderful advice you have all given

Don't give up! This is for you! & yea i love auto correct lol

it's surprising isn't it for some food & watch out too for some of the so called "diet" foods. I always find if i have a higher sodium day that i gain a few pounds over the next few. All the best in your journey to health

Welcome & good luck in your journey :)

All the best to you in your journey, remember small steps will help to reach your goal. Weigh all your food & log it no matter if it's a great day or a bad day

totally, said to my boss at work in April. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired lol. Somehow in May i decided on the spur of the moment to start my journey to health. I'm down 44 pounds with 76 to go! It can be done! Feel free to add me if you want support

Welcome :) Best advice i have is to read the sticky posts in the form here. I've learned so much from some helpful knowledgeable folks. Weigh all your food for the day & log everything no matter what. I love my fitbit, i find it is a reminder to me to get more active

Bluebutterfly hugs to you. thank you for sharing & please know many of us can relate. Just remember small steps to your final goal. Small steps started me on this journey & i know this time i can do it. I am not letting negative thoughts overwhelm me. All the best to you in your new journey to health

i agree that your calories might be too low. I'm on 1600 calories & am still losing. i'm 5 feet. Bump up the calories, don't starve yourself. & weigh all your food. it will come off :)

if it was easy we'd all be in slim, lol. but i've learned lots on my 95 day journey by reading the forum here & learning. I've become more accurate in my food logs. i weigh everything, yes everything. I'm down 44 pounds

all the best to you in this journey to health :)

It can be done :) I've been on MFP a while now... & am back starting over yet again. In three months i'm down 42 pounds with 78 to go!

I've been battling depression for 30 years. Over those years i gained quite a bit of weight, used food as comfort or punishment. I'm having to learn to forgive myself, to love myself. some days it was hard to get out of bed. I've found that the healthier i ate, the more i worked out the more positive i feel. I'm down 41…

I've finally listened to my dr's advice of losing wight & getting exercise. I'm down 41 pounds & my blood sugars for the first time in ages are in the normal range. I'm amazed at how well i now feel. Keep it up & yes small changes work well

you'll find lots of us canucks here. All the best in your weight loss journey :)

i'll join in with the feel free to add me, another fellow shorty. I'm down 41 pounds with 80 more to go at 5 feet :)

congrats on your loss so far on this journey :) I'm down 41 with 80 more to go! what an adventure lol

A fun thread. Very cool to be "funsized"!

i weigh out my coffee creamer for each coffee. i use the 5% creamer, slowly cutting down on it. When i go through the drive through i get one milk. it just is taking time to get used to something different for me

Excellent success, keep up the great work! i'm looking at about another 80 pounds more to lose All the best on this journey!
