OK my dear friends, I posted some pictures in my profile but should try to explain them. First one in a red top with big smile. That is from 1993 when I was 43 years old. I weighed 132 then. The next one of a human (after all the dogs) in a white top holding a camera. I was 32 then and into running. Weighed 121 and was too…

I have to say, you guys are all so very beautiful!! I have a confession to make. I have had weight problems all my life and while there were times I was a normal weight (I'll put a couple of "skinny and young" pictures in my photo thing) I never got thin and just stayed there. It was always a fight. But I thought slender,…

I think how we calculate water is 1/2 of our body weight in ounces. I could be wrong -- I hope so! That is an awful lot of water!!!! I have always accepted 8 glasses (8 ounces) 8 times a day. 64 ounces is far more doable for me. 105 ounces sounds WAY beyond what I can do. (I don't like water. Now, coffee, tea -- those are…

Hi everyone, Name: Lin20281 or Lin or Linda Age: 66 Height: 5' 6.5'' Weight: 209.2 on 4/30 Goal weight: 150lbs or maybe less. That is heavier than I weighed in 1993 when I was what I considered a normal weight (132) but I'm 24 years older (in 17 days) and I don't know if 132 is reasonable. So I'll get to 150 and decide if…

Got my owl today. Amazing, because made typo on my name. But was accepted!! I'm Hufflepuff. :p

Sent in my application. Hope I can go! That would be fun.

Hi there! WTG on the logging. I'm new to MFP, but so far have logged every bite. It sure does help, doesn't it. And you are right -- it doesn't make us ugly or unworthy, but sure does affect the health. So let's work on it together. Before joining here, I was writing everything down on paper. But then I found this and it…

Ann's suggestions are absolutely great. I do some of my steps just a little differently -- I.e., have a bowl into which I add chopped ingredients for a recipe and note the weight, then zero, but the end result is the same. The one thing I would suggest, is if you can find one, get a scale that will switch from pound/ounce…

OK, so I'm new. Can we start with Book 1 and go from there at this point? I hope so. Love Harry and wish there were more and more books to come. Sadly, just need to read the old ones once a year or so. Philosopher's Stone has 223 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 7. [ ] Lose 7lbs from your start date. Start…

New to MFP and trying to learn as much as I can. On my own from Oct 2 to now, I've shed about 45 pounds, but still have something like 80 to go. Can use all the help I can get and if anyone is willing to adopt me, BLESS YOU!

Understand completely. I've been up and down, all the way from 280 at top to 120 at the lowest. For me it's a constant battle -- and I'm with you on the hating myself. But I try to remind myself that I'm not a loser unless I stop trying. So I have a set-back. Pick myself up and try again. The thing is, you CAN do it. And…
