Hi Kathy, Welcome Back. It doesn’t matter how many times we start over it’s that we Didn’t Give Up! You got this! Would love to have you as a new friend and share in your journey🌸

Hi Becky Welcome. You are so right it’s a lifestyle change. Once I made up my mind and desired to live differently it seems it just got easier. I began here two months ago but I actually started the process a little over a year ago. I started logging my food and making dietary changes and it changed the way I look at food.…

Hello and Welcome. You will do this I hear it loud and clear. You have overcome a lot and I am so proud of you. Let’s do this.

My ticker is not showing my true weight loss. I went into apps and then ticker, the update and save changes and it is still wrong!!! Help tech support. Using these tools is motivating and we want to See Our Success, big and small!

Hi Rita and welcome. Just know we are all here for you and we are all in this together. Your plan is your choosing. I find measuring cups and spoons really help with portion control. Also a divided plate be it a kids plate or styrofoam helps with portion control as well. Big section for salads or fruits and veggies other…

If he is controlling and bossy. That’s a deal breaker. I am my own person and have taken care of me all my life. I deserve and will not settle with anyone not respecting me.

Hi Jen, Welcome to MFP🌷. I have only been here since May. I too need to lose over 100 pounds. Since joining I am more active but don’t have a set exercise routine. I am disabled, have type 2 diabetes, arthritis, hypothyroidism and sleep apnea. I have a new Dr for managing my diabetes and he is helping me with my weight…

Hi everyone. I have over 100 # to lose and welcome new friends and support. I am 63, and live in Ohio. Thank you for forming this group. Best wishes everyone ☀️

I see nothing wrong with your diet. If you have very little to lose it may take a little time. With you having a deficit that too could be holding you back along with your exercise regimen. Remember you have to eat to lose. Took me a long time to wrap my head around that sentence but it’s true. If you restrict your diet…

Hello Tara & Welcome. I would love to be your friend and support you in your journey. I love it here.

Hello and Welcome. Would love for us to be friends. I hope to have 100 pounds gone s year from now. I am diabetic and have an under active thyroid. With the help of my Dr I am on 180 carbs per day and he has drastically cut my insulin use. Since doing so I am losing, slowly but at least I am going in the right direction. I…

Hello and welcome. My all time high weight was 364. In 1yr before coming here I today weight 316. Though 48 lbs is great I have such a long way to go. The best way I stay motivated is setting obtainable realistic goals. Looking at the big number is overwhelming. I know it took years to gain this weight and it is not going…

Welcome Barbara! I will be 64 in July. Good to meet you. I have only been here a few weeks and have been losing slowly but surely. I am more physically active than before I started and each day I push myself to do more. I am so happy to have someone in my age group to talk with. Sounds like you have gone through a lot. I…

Welcome. So nice of you to join us. Best advise I have is get familiar with the site. When I plan meals I make sure it’s satisfying and filling. The more satisfying it is the less apt I am to go overboard. I also am learning to eat when I am truly hungry, not because I am stressed or bored. When those feelings take place I…

When it comes to diabetes we are all different. It’s always best to find a good endocrinologist and go from there. I just started with a new Dr as my old one didn’t accept my new health insurance but so glad I did. I not only have type 2 but an under active thyroid. Still I have been determined to lose this weight. My…

Welcome back and so proud and happy for you. Wow an A1C of 14, I can only imagine how you must have been feeling. Glad your doing so much better now. I too have type 2 diabetes. I have a new Dr and his goal to go get me off insulin and help me succeed at my weight loss goal. I was on 300 nits of insulin a day and now I am…
