Congratulations, that is so great!

That is fabulous that even with all your struggles you were able to still lose over 7lbs this month. Things are already starting to go your way! Keep it up!

We all have those healthy lifestyle breakdowns at times. Just say I am starting now again, not tomorrow, not on the weekend, just right now! We're here for you!

I use the Leslie Sansone DVD's also. They help in moving your arms during walking too.

Hi Kama: Welcome to the group. I also was over 300 years ago so I know how hard it is to lose the weight, but never give up, you will reach your goals. I am now 225 and have been able to maintain it, even though it has taken me many, many years to get there. Keep up the good work!

I weight myself every day, and probably should not. My weight will stall for a month or more at times. I usually seem to fluctuate up and down in a five point range, even if I am sticking strictly to my allotted calorie intake. All of the sudden after a month or six weeks I will start to slowly lose maybe up to five pounds…

It is really hard for me to stick to lower carb. I try to eat only the fruit and vegie carbs but that is tough. I am starting again today to cut the bready type carbs (which include potatoes, noodles, rice, cereal, etc.) Today I had chicken salad for lunch along with pineapple and some low fat yogurt. For dinner I had a…

Thank you for posting what you are doing to help you lose weight. I think it really helps when others give their methods, recipes, etc. I love getting everyone's ideas of what to try! I currently weigh 230. I was 310 lbs. at my highest weight, which was 30 years back. I have yoyoed many times over the years but now in the…

Welcome! The more the merrier to give inspiration to each other!

Whoo Hoo!! Fabulous!

Fabulous!!! Keep it happening, very happy for you!

I agree with you if you just look at losing 10 lbs. at a time it is much less daunting than looking at the total amount of weight a person would like to lose. Those small goals are easier attainable. Keep up the good work. We are all in this together.

Ha, love it, you better call the news media!

Welcome to all the new members. I am Dee from Wisconsin. This weight loss thing is tough, but it does help when you read posts from others who struggle with the same weight loss issue. My heaviest was 310, I now weigh 230. I am 66 years old. I has taken me almost 25 years to lose, and keep the weight off, it is a very slow…

It's sad when people feel their negative comments are okay to share out loud. You WILL get the weight off! I have no doubts about it. 2024 is a new start for everyone!

Air frying them is a great idea. I just got one a few months ago, and I am still experimenting with it.

That is a lot of weight to lose in 14 months. Congratulation!!

Hi, Logging all my food really has been the only thing that is working for me. The days I log I am more mindful and that really helps rather than just guessing on the days that I do not log. I am not saying I don't stall losing weight at times, but for the last 6 months I have done better by logging and weighing myself…

I am 69 and have bad knees, so I can relate with the chronic pain. I am now at 228 but it has taken me a very long time getting there. Years and years. Keep up the good work! It is tough, but as I keep losing, even though it is slow going, it sure makes me feel better about myself.

If you lost 117 lbs since August 22nd, I think you are doing fabulous. Did you mean to type 17lbs?

What do the numbers mean in your post? Thank you

I like the taste of Lilly's chocolate also; however, it is made with erythritol so you may want to look up the link with erythritol and blood clots.

I have found in the last six months that strictly tracking my food keeps me motivated. I have made it a challenge to myself to stick to my 1250 calorie allotment per day. I track everything and try to look at what I am going to eat in a day earlier in the day so I can adjust portions at breakfast, lunch, etc., if I am…

I like to take low carb/low calorie tortilla shells. We use that in place of a pizza crust and add all our toppings, sauces, etc. My husband puts them in the oven for a few minutes before adding toppings and then bake until all toppings done.

I never thought to try the peanut sauce idea. That sounds delicious. Thanks for the idea!
