I started out in a 20 also. I'm 5'6 and started at 220 lbs. Fortunately, I never threw away any of my old clothes as I was coming up. I was a size 9/10 until I was in my late 30's then start up the sizes. 11/12, 14, 16, 18, to 20. I've lost 71 lbs since Jan 1st. The gain has been over the past 20 years so I've thrown my…

The dreaded before at around 235 lbs. The much happier and healthier "getting close" at 168 lbs. This morning I weighed in at 158. 8 more to go!!

Hi, late(ish) of the group, 57. Started in November, half-assed, not knowing much. Lost 5 lbs during the holidays. Got serious Jan 1st and I'm down 57 lbs. Still don't know that much as I'm staying just under 1,200 cals/day and I think I'm robbing myself of nutrition. Added a lot more Fruits & Veggies lately and feel…

Before at 225 Lbs. After at 168 Lbs. Now at 164. Goal is 150!!

I've lost a little bit more than a small bale of hay. Feeling good!

This is a better picture! Lost 52 Lbs and feeling great!!

The before and after! I started this journey in Nov 2018 and as of today, I've lost 51 lbs. The now picture isn't the best picture but you can see how my face has slimmed down. I used to be embarrassed to take pictures!

I have just hit the "Lost 50 Pounds Club!" I'm happy I can give myself a pedicure and reach my feet and not run out of breath!!!

Yep, you can add me too! I'm a chit-chatter also!! 😉

I LOVE Black Raspberry. I'm in Arizona. Where do you get those???

Sent you a friend request.

I had surgery for my Clavical/AC joint problem. Had a lot of pain prior and some days were good, some were bad. Nothing in particular helped but it depended on the day. Finally had Arthroscopic Surgery. They went in and shaved off part of the clavicle so the pressure and tearing stopped. Took a few days to heal from the…

I also need some encouragement and advice on eating better. Anyone can feel free to add me.

I have the same issues. Am curious to see some suggestions!!

I get the picture. I'll bother you no longer!

Open my diary?? How do I do that and what benefits do I have by doing it?

P.S, I'm 56 years old, 5'5", and started at 220 in Nov and down to 171.5, 48.5 loss.

I started at 220 and, as of this morning, have lost 48.5 lbs of my 70 lb goal. I was not losing at 1,200 cal/day. I meticulously weigh food by the gram and log everything that goes in my mouth. I check and recheck nutrition labels against the USDA food database as there is a lot of incorrect info out there. I'm obsessed…

MFP allotted me 1,200 cal/day which only allowed me 45 grams of sugar. I was eating fruit but realized the sugar content put me waaaaay over my sugar goal so I cut them out completely for months. I've recently had a stall in weight so I now only eat 1,000-1,100 cals per day, which brings my carbs way down. I'm at a loss as…

I will add you! I'm looking for partners in dieting too! I've lost 48.5 lbs and have 21.5 left which is coming off hard!

Hi Delaney, I'm Kathy. I'm much older than you at 56 but in the same boat. I ballooned up to the 230's due to emotions, overeating, and being sedentary. I started MFP in November at 220 and only lost 5 lbs through the holidays. Jan 1st, that changed. I got motivated and have lost 48.5 lbs with 21.5 to go. I will add you as…
