Great problem to have :) I do not need to buy clothes in Women's Plus Department. Not sure which departments I should go to now, big problem lol

Thank you Tinkerbellang83 and MegaMooseE :) :)

Hi, I am Type 2 diabetic. I have been using Premier chocolate since the Fall 2017. I have lost 54 lbs. Of course, I am eating healthier food and in the right quantity which of course helped. On was on my diabetic meds 2x a day. Now I am only on once a day and will have blood work taken this week and I believe I can be off…

I understand the frustration of the scale numbers. I am learning to not let it bother me (though I haven't received my A in the class yet) because as I constantly read on here, weight loss is not linear. So much fluctuations with our body - water retention, sodium from food, working out etc. etc. Hugs

Great post. My why? This weekend I should cross off one of my why's - not needing a seat belt extender on an airplane. I want to live a long life so I will be here for my children. I identify myself as being overweight. And I think that is how others see me. 45 years I have, every single day, been focused on losing weight.…

Ask a lot of questions so you can understand fully. Good luck.

Hi, President of the Scale Club here. Been obsessing over the scale for over 45 years. I have given my scale away 2x. Had to always replace it. I have a lot of weight to lose (just lost 54 lbs.) This past month I had hubby hide my scale. It really was a relief and freed up my time in my head and also just plain time -…

As someone mentioned, use the stairs. No elevator. Try to have water at meals. They usually serve free ice tea. Decide what time you want to eat your carbs - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack or have small carb at each meal. And this is some additional tips - the day before you are to leave the cruise - if you are not really…

When I was younger, my body would just bounce back. Now that I am old, I believe, as I can see from already losing 50 lbs. that I will certainly have loose skin. Enjoy your ongoing weight loss and try not to stress about after. In clothes, there is always spanks etc. but I really don't think you will have a problem.

Years ago I did 2 different 5 day diabetic classes, both at different hospitals. The first hospital each class was given by a different person. They gave conflicting food advice. One said do not eat dessert at all, the other said you can eat dessert. No one every mentions what are you supposed to do when you see a higher…

Great job at getting back on the bandwagon. Stay with it :)

Well, not the same thing but I did just read that fuji apples help with the outer layer of the skin.

:)

So very happy and proud of you!!!!!! You certainly are rockin' it! Love the pics and your story.

Had the shot 2x in about 10 years in between. The shot helps immediately. They are stretches you could do, which I haven't but want to start doing. I got orthodics put into my sneakers.

You look really young which I think should be in your favor with time and getting back to firmness. Lots of exercises out there for firming and toning specific areas. Congrats on your great weight loss!!!

As someone else posted - Premier protein drink. I like the chocolate only. Yogurt- have you tried freezing it - you can freeze for a little bit, an hour or two or more. The consistency has now changed.

Hi, So as others have mentioned, you need to see a doctor. Your blood pressure needs to be checked, probably your A1C blood test needs to be taken. You should get this figured out because you do not want to faint and hurt yourself. Are you on any meds? They may need to be adjusted. Good luck

Hi, Binge eater/dieter (yo-yoing) for 45 years! I never once ate a "normal" meal; either binging or dieting. Since October I started eating a "normal" meal for lunch or dinner. I do write my food in a notebook the night before so I can see what I will have the next day. If I need to make changes the day of, I do. How about…

Pickles!

Never a fashionista but maybe one in the making soon. I have finally been losing weight consistently (almost 4 months). My son said to me "Why are all your clothes so big and boxy". I would never want anyone to see my bulges and didn't think that is a good look for me and would make me uncomfortable. He reminded me that…

Hugs

Middlehaitch, thanks for your support and the reminder to try a water fit class! Lorrpb, I will check my BMI as to how I am improving over time, thank you for your input! callsitlikeiseeit, thank you! AnnPT77, wow, what can I say but a deep thank you for taking the time to help guide me in my continuing weight loss and…

Wow, that is fantastic. Your motivation is to come back here and tell us you did lose the weight and your great insights. I will be looking for the day when I can say I only have 15 to lose, very exciting. Good luck

Usually every day but I do find it frustrating and baffling and makes me obsess about the number. I am trying to do it once a week but old habits are hard to stop.

I hope you are on the mend soon, hugs

Thank you very much Cheryldumais and Fitoverforty.. !!! Thank you both for your support and suggestions!!!!

Your shape is beautiful, as others have mentioned. We all come in all shapes and sizes, accept and believe that you are the best you! You will be much more happy then and not have to obsess about it. Hugs

Allergic to nuts - anaphylactic shock - hospital visit and overnight stay - possibly lose brain cells - mental capacity no longer the same, highly diminished - have to be cared for by your parents for the rest of your life - another outcome death. See a dietician.

So happy and proud of you!!!!!
