  • Goals... as with everyone else, they are multiple. The biggest one is to end the pain. Everything from the toes to the hips are in various stages of extreme to low level pain all the time. My weight has led to me developing DVT - deep vein thrombosis and then thrombophlebitis, where the blood clots exploded deep in the…
  • The fitbit is finally sync'ing with MFP, but it's showing zero - LOL It's not just exercise, but an exercise in patience!
  • Welcome @mjcbills1980 I'll say go Eagles, but I hate football, so that might not be helpful. :)
  • Hello everyone. I've missed a lot being offline for three days! My fitbit arrived on Friday night and I'm obsessively check the number of steps all day every day :) I've sync'd the thing to MFP but it doesn't seem to be catching yet. I'll give it 24 hours.

  • An interesting and, hopefully, inspirational story I just came across: https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/150-Pound-Weight-Loss-44447751
  • Thank you for throwing your story in to the pot :) I think you are right, we all know where you are, and I doubt that anyone has magic words to help you with the hopelessness you are feeling, except to say that we do know it and that perhaps together we can all power through. To everyone else, thank you for the welcome.…
  • I'm really glad I spotted this thread today. You all are incredibly inspiring. My name is Laura. I have been overweight my entire life, dieted my entire life... but at the end of last year I hit my highest, worst weight yet: 330. I came back here to MFP and I'm going with CICO. So far, I've lost 8 pounds and I am really…
  • Dry roasted soybeans, pumpkin seeds, walnuts - I buy in bulk packages and then repackage into small backs only the amounts (in ounces) that I want to eat for the day - or even the week.
