This group is just what I am looking for. Count me in-Janet

So sorry for your loss . I can only imagine how difficult it is to lose a spouse. I am sure I would gain weight. Feel free to add me. I check in every day.

26 lbs would be about a lb a day. Not possible. Not healthy. Don't take nutritional advice from a trainer. Speak to a registered dietician.

Nice job You look great!

I felt really good eating vegan doing weight watchers but my weight loss stalled because I was eating too many nuts and seeds which are very caloric. Good luck to you.

you look alot thinner than182 pounds. you must be all muscle.

good for you!

Start by dividing your dinner plate into 4 quadrants. I veggie, 1 fruit, 1 starch and 1 protein at each meal. Add in a serving of lofat dairy as between meal snacks. This is the USDA.gov Myplate method that replaced the old food pyramid. Force your self to eat 3 meals a day. Break the starve and binge cycle. I did it. You…

Getting a good nights sleep because of my cpap helped me have more energy and less cravings for sugar. Before cpap I was tired all day and dieting was especially hard.

I had that problem too when I lost 25 pounds on weight watchers. I ended up gaining it all back.

Having problems with my heart. Put on a medication to slow down my heart beats. Being told I am borderline prediabetes last week and being at my all time highest weight ever. Taking 6 meds a day. I am only 55 and don't think I am going to live very long unless something changes drastically. Alot of the meds I am on cause…

Good for you for not buying the bigger jeans. I have struggled with weight most of my adult life especially after quitting smoking and having my 2 kids. I am eating 1200 calories but am really just maintaining. Can't seem to lose. My activity level is pretty low though. I weigh in on Friday so we will see how this week…

That is excellent progress on WW. I just was really hungry all the time and the leader kept saying fill up on veggies but they didn't really satisfy my cravings very well. I had such a sweet tooth and ww doesn't really accomodate that on the new program like it did on the old program. I think a piece of cake is like 24…

feel your pain. I too lost 25 pounds on weight watchers in 2015 but lost my job and got very depressed and had to go on 3 or 4 meds that cause weight gain. As much as I tried to watch my eating I gained it all back over the last 2 years. I walked 4 or 5 times a week, managed to gain on weight watchers new program. So…

Good for you to join the MFP site. Try to just take it 1 day at a time. Commit to logging in every day and every morsel . Remember to emphasize whole foods, Fruits and veggies, complex carbohydrates and lean meats and dairy and the weight loss will follow. I like the plate method that the USDA recommends: You divide your…

stuff a tomato with it. With berries.

Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! You are an inspiration!

Wow What a difference!

Theres always the wonder bra!

I saw my dr Last week and she said now my blood sugar is 100 which is borderline pre diabetes. I am 55 and it seems like I am falling apart healthwise. I bought a really good book on reversing diabetes and have been trying to eat better quality foods while paying attention to daily calories as well and I have had a good…

Great job! Very inspiring can do attitude!

I would like to join your group.Starting weight was 223 down to 220 when I weighed in last thursday. I am on low thyroid medicine and hi blood pressure meds. heart medicine, antidepressants and mood stabilizers all of which contributed to a 40 pound weight gain in the past 2 years. I had lost 25 pounds on weight watchers…

I get cravings for fast food so I order a kids hamburger meal with unsweetened iced tea and that is about 400 calories.

Great job. Keep at it no matter what and don't ever stop taking care of yourself.

It could be something as simple as amount of food from the day before that you haven't eliminated yet. As gross as that sounds!

I think if you have got the body for them and they are comfortable then wear them. Age is not a factor.

You may have broke a rib.

I spend about 100 a week for me and my husband and adult son . We pack all lunches and eat out dinner about 1 or 2 times a month. I plan my weeks menu based on the store flyers ad sales for meat and produce. Aldis has a fit & active line of foods that are quite good. Their produce is very fresh and cheap. I do not buy much…

I do alot of stir frys and shishkabobs on the grill to get my veggies in with low fat protein like chicken or shrimp.
