Judging Amy (I loved that show!) :)

@jm216 You had a great week with both exercise and diet - AWESOME! I like eating pre-made salads, too! Quick, convenient, and nutritious. @daydrem_dw Congratulations on getting below 185 lbs. I so look forward to the day when I can post that I am below 200 lbs. @KeriA - Great weekly workout routine!

Hi everybody! Just wanted to share some exercise ramblings from this 58-year-old, 300+/lb senior! I am still waiting on the purchase of some scales so I really can't log my weight or body measurements just yet, but I can share some fitness goals... Today I completed my 10-minute Indoor Walking Workout #2 for Seniors,…

Your story is inspiring. I am so sorry for the loss of your father but happy that you are honoring his memory through your weight loss. I am just starting my journey and have a lot of weight to lose and I also have to push through the pain when exercising since I also have a bad knee and need my hips replaced. BUT...I am…

You are a great source of inspiration. Congratulations on all of your hard work!

@supersparklyk Greetings! I too am trying to eat a more plant-based diet and have a big love affair with veggies and legumes. You might find some good ideas here (this is one of my favorite "foodie" websites: https://www.eatingwell.com/search/?q=plant-based+recipes - best of luck in your journey to a healthier you.…

My March goals are to continue exercising 4-5 days a week and progressively build upon my routine. I am only 22 days in and I have a very long way to go before I will see myself as being fit, but I am already feeling a difference and that keeps me focused. I will also continue charting my food and exercise on a daily basis…

Feeling really down and depressed today and I'm in quite a bit of pain so I am taking an exercise break today. Hopefully, I will be rested and recuperated tomorrow and be ready for another round of exercise. My lack of consistent sleep is taking its toll on me. I soooo wish that for just one night, or even one day for that…

Hello and Welcome from Guam. I agree with you that MFP does a great job at keeping you focused and aware of your eating patterns. I can never say too many good things about MFP! Best of luck on your journey of mindful eating.

Welcome and Hello from Guam. Congratulations on your 26-pound loss and your desire to eat healthier. I started here 20 days ago at about 320 lbs (I am kind of guesstimating this right now because I have to get some scales - my last weigh-in I weighed 301 and I know I had gained some since then so I chose 320 as my starting…

I hope you are now fully recovered from your vaccine. Adequate sleep is a HUGE issue for me. I rarely sleep more than 2 hours without waking up. I would so love to be able to get 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I know how important it is, but my body just doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

Had to really push myself to exercise today, but I did it. And with that in mind... :D :D :D

Really depressing day for me. I moved here with my daughter and grandchildren to Guam from the US a few months ago. I am disabled and was planning on applying for SSI here in Guam, but found out I cannot get it here on the islands. This was a big blow for me because I have always been financially independent and I now have…

You are not alone! I had my gastric bypass way back in 2002. My starting weight was 425 pounds and the smallest I got was 195 but I didn't stay there very long. To be honest, I never took my surgery seriously. I didn't exercise other than walking and didn't follow a nutritional diet plan. I did manage to stay at 220-230…

@azalea4175 Hello from Guam - Feb 23rd, 12:47 pm - It sounds like we have a lot in common! Both of my hips need to be replaced so that was guiding me to take it easy yesterday. I woke up today and felt refreshed. I was still sore (lol that's a daily thing!), but I did some morning stretches and felt better. I also did some…

What beautiful photos! You look so happy and that fills me with joy. :)

Monday, February 22nd, 11:59 pm. Hello from Guam! It was a bit of a rough day for me in terms of both diet and exercise. Not many healthy food choices in the house at the moment, so I did go over my sugar by 12 grams, but the good news is everything else was slightly below my goal (including my protein. This is…

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Just starting my weight loss journey at 320 lbs, 58 yrs old. Two bad hips, one bad right knee, COPD, and last year moving to a very hot climate and not having air conditioning for the first few months found me laying in my bed all day long which resulted in gaining weight and losing A LOT of muscle, to the point where it…

Thank you, everyone, for such a warm welcome! <3

Hello! Great to meet you! We seem to share similarities in terms of our weight. I am new here and always looking for inspiration. I recently moved from the US to Guam with my daughter and grandchildren and do not like it ... it is too hot and so I find myself spending my days lying in my bed since my room is the only one…

We all have days like this! Just gotta forge ahead and get back on track. You got this! :)
