Well done you, congratulations, you look amazing. Have a wonderful Christmas

Congratulations you look amazing, shout it loud, you deserve it!.. <3

Thank you, I've taken on board your suggestions and have slowed my weight loss down (in fact had a 3lb gain last week!) but I am keeping in mind that in the last 6 months, I have given up smoking (smoked for 40 years) and in the last 150 days have lost 56lbs, I have a plan for over the Christmas period to try and keep…

Congratulations and keep it up :) it absolutely works, I've dropped 50+ pounds in just over 3 months, ( I do have a lot of weight to lose) but I have never felt in such control of my weight loss. I am learning to "spend" my calories wisely and as a family, we are eating better choices and more controlled portions. Just…

Hello from the UK, I am so sorry to read about your loss. I lost my mum to dementia in June 22, and although at the time, I didn't realise (I wasn't very close to her) I did eat my grief and managed to gain 28 lbs. In July of this year, I was shocked to realise that I had a massive 156 lbs to lose, to get to my goal…

Well done to you, what fantastic pictures. As a 59-year-old woman with 154 pounds to lose, your post is inspiring. I too find MFP an absolute must-have tool, I log every mouthful, and use the recipe app to modify family favourites into healthy alternatives, and love it! I'm on day 64 and have lost 31lbs so far. For the…

My ultimate goal is to log for 365 days which will take me to 24th Jul 2024, and hopefully lose 104lbs during that time. My first mini goal is to weigh what I did when I came out of the hospital on 29th September 21. I am 1lb away (27 lbs in 57 days) :smiley: Goal number 2, is to lose a further 28 lbs to take me to where I…

Congratulations, job well done :) I started my journey seriously on the 24th of July, I have 140 lbs to lose but like you, I am taking it 1lb at a time. So far I have lost 15 lbs and I am very happy. At 58 years old, I know it is going to be an uphill struggle, but having given up smoking after 40 years, I am confident…

Hi Ruth, Like you, I am struggling with my health because of my weight. I first used this app in 2016 and weighed 17 stones then. Now, having given up smoking, I am nearly 25 stone and feel like an OAP despite only being 58 years old. My 2 sons are joining me on this lifestyle change and I am in the lucky position to have…

Thank you, DJ. I did resist the munchies and that is a major NSV for me. I kept thinking about the 30 odd lbs that I have lost and how the pain would be so much worse with that added weight! Then had the pleasure of jumping on Wii fit last night to be a further 6lbs down - I am so chuffed! I was hoping that after the…

Hi, A 52-year-old here who wishes she had done something about her weight many moons ago. Been at slimming world since January this year and am 37lbs down so far but still have 100lbs to go! Started using MFP 16 days ago and loving it. it is so much better than SW site for logging food intake. I cook every meal from fresh…

I love you hair in this photo.. wow!

I'm smiling - the hairdresser was great! she talked to DD (am I right in thinking this is dear daughter and DH is dear husband?? - so have to learn the lingo!) and explained what was needed. DD came out of hairdressers smiling and her hair looks beautiful!!! Worked through my pain last night without any munching o:) Major…

It's 2 am and I can't sleep :'( The pain in my knee is off the charts tonight. Although I was grateful to the doctor for prescribing me tramadol, I am wary about taking it as it is morphine based, but tonight I really have no choice. I think a latte is in order, and a good book, Amazon Prime here I come !!! This is when I…

Rori & Kim lovely photograph Lanette My new neighbours are just not ready for my naked gardening and the old neighbours would have me arrested!!!! Colonoscopy I had a perforated bowel in 2015 so have to have 6 monthly checks. I am just grateful that we don't have to pay over here. With my luck, I would have run up a small…

Hello ladies, Hope everyone is well? Returned to work today after a week of sickness with the dreaded clot! Also had a doctors appointment. I'm now on a three-month course of Rivaroxaban, which unlike warfarin means I don't have to have too many blood tests - bonus! The doctor also gave me tramadol, as my knee continues to…

Ok in all my misery I forgot to actually set some goals!! 1. log everything I eat and reduce Nescafe Latte coffee to 1 sachet per day! 2. attempt at least 10 minutes of sitting exercises every night for time being. 3. work on strengthening left knee via google and youtube (Here in Kent to get a PT appts is between 6 months…

Hello all, I'm Jane from Kent, UK ... been using MFP for 10 days and actually loving it. In the past, I have made every excuse possible for my weight but the truth is I ate too much, too often and every meal was far too rich!!!...I started making changes in January and have lost 30lbs so far., but I have 100lbs to go so in…

I have 100lbs to lose and determined to do it ... happy to tag along with you ...lets sort this!

Hi Ali, I understand perfectly how you are feeling. At my heaviest I was 280lbs, I started my journey back in January and am now at 250lb. I have always enjoyed food, making most of my meals from fresh ingredients and rarely using pre-packaged food but I needed to learn portion control and self-control. I have had a couple…

I actually don't have any pictures of myself ...I suppose I should…
