What are add on options? :)

Hi, all. I just found this challenge today 11/15/24. I'm currently between 305-309 pounds depending on the day. It's just awful. I read what Anna said (above) and that sounds a lot like my story. At my heaviest I was 356 if you can believe that. I lost down to 286 then there was a lot of family issues followed by the death…

I'm at 3196. Plus I did 81 before this count until I missed, but even if I were at 4000, I know people with a lot more than that on their streak.

I am very interested in the workbook. I think I'm going to try to saturate myself with positivity and see if that doesn't help! I love that verse in Psalms! I find your story so inspiring!

This is AMAZING! You've inspired me! If you don't mind, I'm going to copy some of these!

That's wonderful!! I love the "I AM" statements!! <3 That's awesome.

Thanks for this! I appreciate it. I'm back starting, yet again, to lose some weight. To get to a weight that's in a "normal" range, I'd have to lose 180 pounds. I don't think I'll ever be that thin again, so I'm not worried about that. I lost over 50 pounds with MFP and the loose skin was what got to me. And I slowly…

Well, this week I'm down the scale says 312.2 but it's because I've been sick. My doc put me back on farxiga and it makes me feel like I have the flu. It's water weight. I think I need to be more vigilant about calories and I need to journal more. My dad is in hospice and I know I've been stress eating. No one is to blame…

Thank you, I'll look into that! :) I am hoping to find the self discipline to do what works for bariatric surgery without the surgery. I know that you have that magic year to lose the weight and change after you have the surgery and if you don't, the weight comes back on. I've seen that happen to so many of my friends. All…

"so I don't have to hide anymore" that really hit home. When I go anywhere with people, I notice that they send me in first to get a seat and sit down, wait a few minutes, then come in, no matter where we are. And it's because people make fun of me and those around me are embarrassed. I am not mad at them at all. I can…

Congratulations on your weight loss and getting into the 200s! What worked for you? I am stuck on 317 - 316 it is driving me bonkers. Thanks for being here and cheering people on!

Congratulations! What is working for you? I've decided that I'm not an expert and that I need to be the student and learn from everyone that is succeeding! I'd love to know what is working for you.

I was at 326 when I had a stroke, so I get that. I am trying to get the scale to move but it is stuck on 317ish and driving me crazy. lol What is working for you?

I'm stuck at 317 and can't seem to get below it. I recently realized how weak I've become, and I need to change that! What are you doing that's working? I'm always looking for new ideas because I need all the help I can get!

This is great news! Is there a group on MFP for people trying to get or just getting into Two Der Land? This popped into my feed this morning, and I feel SO encouraged!! That's amazing! What worked for you?

I love this so much. A word in season. <3

I'm new to the group, so if I mess up let me know. :) My Numbers: SW: 356 CW: 321.4 GW: 315 LTGW: 183, but before that I have goals of 299, 267, 256, 234, 201. Weigh-ins: Saturday 1/2/21 = 1/9/21 = joined 1/11 1/16/21 = 1/12/21 1/30/21= Total WL/G for the month= I'd like to add that part of my goal is being able to MOVE. I…

Why not! :)

Why don't we make a community/group of women who are in their 50's who need to lose half their body weight? I think we could do a lot to support each other! :) What do you all think? @pdd1216 @Jem594 @cymande1961 and anyone else! :)

I'm in the same boat! I'm 57 with a long long way to go. Maybe we should get together a group of us who are in the 50's and have a lot to lose! :) I need to lose half my body weight. I keep trying but it isn't budging. Right now, also doing intermittant fasting and that isn't working.

Great job! Work to keep it off! I wish I would have!! And the older I get the more difficult it is to lose, so losing it while you are young was SMART!! You have a new life now! :) Congratulations!

I gained so much mobility and flexibility last term. I hope I'm accepted for this term. But if not, I understand. But yesterday my dog and I went to the park for the first time, and we played in the Bark Park. That was due to more mobility. Also, my knees are hurting less, especially at night and I think that's because of…

For some people, like those with crohn's disease, ostomy tube, gastroparesis (that's me), or who have recently had surgery, a liquid diet or low residue diet may be their only choice. Please don't criticize them. The advice was just asked, not a request for "do you want to go on a liquid diet" . So to the original poster,…

I don't know how this works, but I would love to join in!! I lost a lot of weight in 2016, went to the doctor last week and it's all come back on. So to heck with that, I prefer being smaller! If someone has any directions for me, etc, please let me know.

I am in! First round for me. 4/28: 4/29: 4/30: 5/01: 5/02: 5/03: 5/04: 5/05: 5/06: 5/07:

I'll join you for round 39, since this is the last day! Love this.

As a protestant Christian, we always had Lent. I think that it is mostly those from a Methodist, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Presbyterian background who do this. We were Methodist. My son is Catholic, and there's little difference in the lent observations from our perspective. So on this Lent, I'm working on myself. I have…

Wow! I was just about to give up. Today is day 705 on my streak and I've been gaining weight this year, which really scares me. I have so much to lose. Then I see your post, and I'm so thrilled to see all these other people who are in the same boat! I have about 130 pounds to lose. At least.

I think a lot of people missed your sense of humor, which I love! :D What's with all this SUPER SERIOUS stuff on these responses??? GOOD GRIEF people, lighten up!! OK, since you couldn't find a category for less than sedentary, I'll give you one: on the way to a life threatening illness! How's that one? :D That should be…

Oh my word, I hope the sorting hat puts me in Ravenclaw and I get my acceptance owl! :D This is gonna be fun!!!
