You can have it all back and more, because this time you will appreciate it more. It is scary having a doctor tell you that you WILL get sick, you WILL need drugs, that you WILL end up in a scooter. It doesn't have to be that way. You're not there yet...yet. I have in the last month started roller skating with my grand…

You have to decide whats worth it in life...for you. Since August I have reversed my prediabetic A1c to a very normal, healthy number, I have begun to reverse the damage to my fatty liver and I have lost 69 pounds. I choose not to die because I cant control my eating. I choose to live what years I have left not being sick…

Oh sweetie...I feel like I'm reading my own story. I have been heavy all my life. Was molested at a young age and I guess I felt that the extra weight would keep me safe. Have binged, purged, starved, drugged, and excessively excersised myself for 40 years and found myself at 272 pounds at 50 years old. At 50 I was…

I just packed up all my old scrubs....from 3x down to xlarge. I am a large now and proud of it and Im never....NEVER going back, so let somone else who can use them have them. Dropping them off at goodwill today and never looking back. I feel like a beautiful butterfly shedding my ugly cocoon ...Im flying away and ever…

Awesome job...I am following MFP's guidelines to a "t", and they are working perfectly. Love how easy this program is to follow and that I'll be able to continue this for life. Im down 68 pounds.

I have 50 more pounds to lose and I want to run again. Started C25K a few weeks ago and so far Im keeping up, but its getting alot harder. My goal is to be able to run for at least a half an hour with out puking or wishing I was dead.

I practically live in scrubs. They are my secret addiction. There are so many cute tops and Im not kidding when I say I have at least 75 tops. I am so looking forward to buying new ones in a much smaller size. When they get worn out and I retire them from work...then they become my lounge around the house jammies. They are…

Phlebotomist/lab assistant here from Washington state. I work in the lab at a small rural hospital and specialty clinic up here. My prior occupation was working in one of our many sawmills up here and I never had any problems keeping my weight in check, but since I injured my back and went back to school to learn…

HCG diet for me. Drops you put under your tongue that make your body think youre pregnant so you supposedly burn your fat stores. Lost alot of weight, but that could also be the fact that youre only allowed 500 calories a day. Had to quit when I began fainting and got heart palpitations. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Could have really…

I would love to join this group. This journey is tough and I love having people to talk to who understand what I am going thru and the challenges I face.

I got one too. I love it. I love how it reminds me to get off my butt at work and walk.

I am 4 lbs away. Started at 272 and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have not been below 200 in at least a decade, so I am soooo excited that I should see 199 in a couple of weeks.

I'd rather have loose skin and wrinkles over heart disease and diabetes anyday.

Im sorry... that sucks. Hope you dont have to do it forever

I am a phlebotomist, (vampire), in a small rural hospital in Colville, Washington.

I am not a morning person at all. I wake up with enough time to shower and head to work. I excersise in the evening when I get home. The first thing I do when I get home is slip into my workout clothes and jump on my treadmill and then my bike for about an hour total. I dont think about it... I just do it. Then time to…

Awesome job.

I make myself workout instead cause when Im all sweaty the last thing I crave is junk. Im in your boat today too so I just gone done with an hour of running and biking and Im gonna drink lots of water and eat something healthy. Just get up and do something other than eat. It works.

Its on this site. We started 4 weeks ago and we have certain challenges everyweek to earn more points for your team. You also earn points for excersising everyday, losing pounds every week, and some different types of games. I can just barely keep up with doing the normal challanges. The goal was to lose weight instead of…

Hi there. Sorry I havent been posting. I have been doing the biggest loser challange and it really takes up alot of time, but it has been working. 8 pounds down. Kevingacke sorry to tell you.....I am a Niner fan. I bleed red and gold. Although my husband and dad are both Seahawk fans. Its very spirited at my house when…

Cass I am so sorry for everything youre going thru right now. I am not going to tell you all that stuff about being strong or picking yourself back up or yada,yada,yada. I am going to tell you that you have suffered a real loss. A painful loss and you need time to grieve. Time to scream, cry, curse, throw things and throw…

Yes I can relate. I had non hodgekins lymphoma in my lung and had part of one lobe removed. I did lose some of my lung function. I have started running the last month or so and have found it helps immensely with helping my lung get back its elasticity. I am able to more and more each day. The lungs are amazing and can…

Man I can relate to migranes. I am 53 and have suffered with them since puberty. I was diagnosed last August with cirrhosis of the liver and since then I have been trying very hard to eat clean. No chemicals or preservatives and believe it or not I havent had a migrane since August. Well one, but I had eaten some Ham the…

Water.....water.....and more water. I get up and try to do something....anything physical to take my mind off of the hunger. If all else fails......I let myself have a little healthy snack.
