I have added you as well, with a similar story. Good luck and keep after it! David

Every day. Usually Jell-O, no sugar added pudding with some fruit and TruWhip topping, sometimes I make banana ice cream in the ninja, and tomorrow I am eating cake, yes real cake. My birthday was Wednesday, will be celebrating my birthday with my family with cake and dinner out, I haven't had real cake in some time. I…

Been maintaining for about 5 weeks or so, it's easier to lose weight than maintain, but I am getting better at it overall. I have gotten to the point where food is viewed as fuel and eating the right types of food before and after the gym has seemed to work well. I still miss bread, like a nice piece of bread, with olive…

Welcome Annie, people here are very supportive, we have all come here to become healthier and help each other along the way. You are not alone. I find the posting from my friends motivational and inspiring, I hope you will too. David

Hey all, anyone can add me, I have lost 91 pounds and I am essentially at my goal weight of 175, I am continuing to log exercise and food daily and support my MFP friends along the way. Finding new active friends is always a plus for me! David

Welcome Kimberly, this community is super supportive, knowledgeable and helpful and great at listening. We all have gone though exactly what you are going through, so friend people and start tracking and what not and get better control of your health and life. You will love it here! David

You have to keep purging clothes You have to keep buying new clothes (I hate shopping) You will become more confident You will look years younger Your bones will not ache as much I actually crossed my legs while sitting on a flight, without thinking about it Some friends will NEVER say a thing about your weight loss

Best of luck. You will feel better and better each day, and more in control of your health, life, happiness. David

Anyone can add me, I log food and exercise daily and I am attentive to friends here on MFP. We all need each other after all. David

I am just over 5'9" and I weigh 174, according to the dreadful BMI I am overweight (25.3 score) but every calls me skinny and one person recently called me scrawny. I am have broad shoulders so that helps some, but I think I am done losing weight, I feel great, lots of energy, I will continue to work out and eat right,…

Excellent point! My Dr hates the BMI, I think I look good and I really do not want to lose much more if any, so hopefully maintenance goes smoothly. David

Julie, Looking back on my own weight loss, here are my totals for the first four months: Sept 2014: -13.8 Oct 2014: -8.2 Nov 2014: -4.8 Dec 2014: -4.6 Thats 31.4 pounds lost in the first four months, including holidays. 100% lost in the kitchen btw. I only joined a gym 7 months ago. Initially the weight should come off…

My wife is somewhat supportive. We go to the gym, but she says she really doesn't want too, I do all the cooking and she does eat what I make, very healthy foods, but she stopped losing weight 6 months ago, I kept losing weight and now she is concerned that I have lost too much (I am still considered overweight by BMI…

Start with logging. Everything, everyday. It will become just what you do, log everything, even the stuff you would like to remove from your daily eating, and you will see the numbers on the screen, then you adjust what you are taking in and you can start losing. You need to start first. People here can suggest and…

5'9" SW 266, size 44 CW 174, size 34

Funny, someone just asked me the other night if I was sick. I am just over 5-9 and weigh 174 pounds, still over the BMI magic number for my height (25.3 = overweight), but I have broad shoulders so I guess I look thinner. I hear "skinny" (the negative way) "wow you lost a lot of weight", not that many complementary words.…

Anyone can add me as well, looking for some active friends. Love reading abour the success people have keeping me motivated. David

5-9 SW 266 CW 174 I am at the point where I am maintaining, I would like to stay within 173-177. Seems to be going okay thus far, trying not to loose to much more as my wife thinks I am going to disappear.

I am entering maintenance right now, need others in maintain mode, I have lost 85 pounds, last 20 on MFP, I log exercise/yard work/food daily. Looking forward to the challenge, although I am very active in the summer, it should be an easy transition to maintain. Anyone please feel free to add me. Also add any advice as I…

Thank you!

Thank you! I think the summer it should be easy to keep weight off, with exercise and yard work, we'll see how I do as fall approaches and into winter. I really would like to get the bike tuned up and get out and peddle as well. David

Ron, Excellent points. 1) I want to keep the exercise schedule I have now, although my wife thinks I should slow down, I don't think I am killing it in the gym necessarily. 2) Food will be easy as we have changed what we eat, and how much, in the last seventy days (while on MFP) I have switched to the grazing style of…

Looks tasty! Recipe?

Always looking for new accountability and success stories, I log daily food and exercise and anyone can friend me, happy to have more folks along for the ride! David

Hey Katie, Life can really get in the way with eating healthy or correctly in my view. I try and plan each day out in advance, my day for tomorrow is already in MFP, still could change, but at least I have some idea what I am planning to eat. I have gotten to the point where I bring some healthy options with me to family…

I am in Lowell area, anyone can add me, I log food and exercise daily. David

Hello, Always looking for new friends. I log food and exercise daily and I enjoy helping to support my friends, I also Fitbit as well. Please feel free to add me and we can keep each other going in the right direction! David

Hey There, I am very active logging food and exercise daily, and do provide support, I have a good group of friends from MFP that have really both motivated me, but also created some accountability as well. In the end the journey is ours alone, but the ride is much easier with others trying to eat healthy and exercise. I…

First, I didn't want to weigh 265, (I am 5'9" ish) so made the decision to throw away the bad foods in the fridge (High Fructose Corn Syrup and the like), without working out and thru the holidays I lost 30 pounds. At my annual physical my doctor suggested 200 pounds would be a good goal. I did that, and this past January,…
