Everyday is a new day. Way to go for learning from the past week and moving forward from here. We can do this.

My goals for September are 1. to work out at least 4 times a week. 2. To track all of my food honestly without fudging on amounts. 3. To experiment more with vegetable dishes. 4. To not pay attention to the number on the scale if I get on the scale. 4. To rejoice in every victory and not let anything talk me out of moving…

That's wonderful . How much weight did you lose ? Congratulations. I am not sure what my body fat is ... I am sure it is well into the Super obese Zone at 234 and 5 foot 5!

You starting weight was 255 ... I am at 234.

I am actually not eating my exercise calories and I'm coming in about 300 calories under what I'm allowed at this point. Mfp allows me to 1500 calories a day and I'm averaging 1200. I am on a ton of medications for my heart and I suspect that that makes things a bit slower not to mention I'm 61 years old. Water retention…

I might try to get over there tonight and again tomorrow. Sunday is my day off and I'll start again on Monday. My goal for this coming 7 days is to stay faithful to show up at…

That's awesome! I am working on portion control as well. I use a food scale as I eat most meals at home. I am a bit discouraged ... I am 3 weeks in and have not lost a single pound .... I am exercising more than I ever have and I am way under on my calories most days. Help!!

Geez I can't even imagine that. I am a big girl but I've never had anybody attack me for it. I guess it has to come down to knowing who you are and not allowing somebody else's opinion to impact you. Clearly the person doing the speaking has a distorted view of themselves if they think it's okay for them to take a shot at…

Hi all ... I am Dianne. I guess I'm the grandma of the group. I am 61 years old. 3 kids ... 7 grandchildren! I have had serious health issues since I was 15. On September 2nd of last year I had my aortic valve removed and had a metal one put in its place on the heels of being very ill for a year. It was a very long…

I can't seem to figure out how to add people or send a friend request. But I would love to ask both of you to befriend me. I am probably much older than you. I turned 60 this past year and my life literally fell apart. I ended up in the hospital for months ... 3 months on IV antibiotics and ended up with an open heart…

I signed up last year but then got really sick. I am currently recovering from open heart surgery ... I had my aortic valve replaced. It was a really hard season in my life but I am getting so much stronger now. I have lost 22 pounds. I have at least 60 to go so I would love to join a group of people that are in it for the…

I have never heard the term FODMAP before. What is it?

Starting over ... I almost lost the battle in 2015. After much time in the hospital, strep in my blood, double pneumonia, diverticulitis and endocarditis resulting in an aortic valve replacement ... I am so ready to make the necessary changes to see my health abound and my weight drop! Any and all encouragement is welcome!
