Hi Nat ! Hi all ! Welcome aboard. I am an old yet new again member of MFP. Here to try and beat myself into shape for good or at least a long while this time. Congrats to everyone for being here and to those who have lost weight. I'd love to add more friends to my village so please feel free to add me.

aw man... I'd continue to say the D word but pushups are HARD. lol (trying to do a pushup...it's going to be a while. stop back in about an hour I might have done one..lol )

rofl... I just read the title. No I do not have 48 grandchildren...lol I am 48 years old. oh boy i need a donut..lol

I'm in the same boat but I can't eat too many banannas because I've got prediabetes. Thanks for all the input and keep it coming. I do take a supplement daily but that's only 99 mg.

Would love to join. Feel free to add me. CW - 268 GW (9/12/16) - 248

I log everything that goes in my mouth except vitamins/medication including water. If you don't hold yourself accountable it's too easy to continue to "cheat".

Good morning ! Hope everyone is well. I've been reading and catching up on everyone. I'm not too chatty but I think you all are amazing. Such dedication. :)

Hi all ! I hope it's ok I stopped by. I saw your thread on my newsfeed. I'm recently returning to MFP. It's been a few years. Last go-round I lost almost 70 lbs and was doing great. Got sick and had to stop zumbaing. 4 years later I gained back 70+. I need to lose 100-125 lbs but I'd be thrilled with 50-75. Also, I was…

After being gone a few years and gaining 75 lbs and becoming prediabetic, I'm back to stay. Would love all the friends and support I can get and would love to give the same (it really does work better that way). Feel free to add me.

I too had my planets blown out of wack. was diagnosed as prediabetic last week. A few years ago I was zumbaing and using this site. lost 60 lbs. then life got crazy, gained it and 15 more lbs. Now I'm the biggest I've ever been and my sugar levels every morning are between 121-127. I'm a mess. Over the past week I've been…

I was just diagnosed as prediabetic last week. I got back on here and have been really making an effort to change my way of eating. I'm a little upset that after 10 days my first thing in the morning results are still between 121-127. I would have thought by now they would have gone down. I'm looking for all the support I…

398 people with my married name 53 people with my maiden name 301 people with my son's name Guess we're not so unusual after all.

I started at 268. I'm down to 200. My goal is 168 but supposedly I should be under 155. I'll be happy with 168 or below. So 32 lbs to go. I'd be happy to "support" you and anyone else looking to lose. I try really hard to stay upbeat and supportive because I know this can be such a struggle. Feel free to add me.

Congratulations !!! You look wonderful and I'm sure you feel great too. You are such an inspiration !!!

OMG ! I can't stop laughing ! I must share with my friends.

You can see pics on my blog - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/angeleyes4643 Thanks for the input. I was eating a bit more but this week I've kind of cut back a bit hoping to convince my brain that I dont' need 2000 calories a day...lol I think maybe you're right in that my body has gotten used to the routine. Sounds like…

Don't hold your breath. That's the worst thing you can do. Tightening your core means sucking it in but breathing at the same time. It's kind of like convincing your muscles to go where you eventually want them to be (like behavior modification).

You look great !

You look AWESOME !! Great job !! Please share some of your success. What did you do to loose the weight? What type of exercise? Did you do anything specific with your diet?

I'd go for about a 7

I LOVE Zumba. I go 3-4 times a week. It's a blast (if you aren't having fun find another class). The peoplea are great and it's an awesome workout. I've lost 50 lbs since doing zumba.

Drink more water. When you feel like munching drink water. Also dont' buy snacky foods (only fruits and veggies). Out of sight out of mind. If you have an office job and your desk is full of snacks, get rid of them. I've found these things have helped me cut down on snacking tremendously.

You've come to the right place. Setting your goals here and tracking what you eat will help tremendously. And adding exercise even if it's just walking will help. Just jump right in, set your goals and track daily. You'll do great !

Thanks for posting this. I too am always in need of potassium rich foods. Thanks everyone for the great ideas !

That is awesome !! It is always so great to have a reward for working so hard. Keep up the great work !!

Awesome !!! Woot !! Woot !!! That is a spectacular achievement !

Hi Kelly, I'm a bored eater, emotional eater, just plain eater...lol I've lost 66 lbs and have 35+ to go. I've found the more people you surround yourself with the better so feel free to add me if you'd like. Linda

You can add me if you'd like. I'm good for a bit of "motivation" when you need it...lol

Oh you are wonderful. Pumpkin pie is the most awesomest thing in the whole wide world. There is NO WAY I could have resisted twice. You are my idol !!!

yes, too much calcium causes serious constipation and dry skin. Your body can only absorb so much in a period of time and it needs to get rid of it somehow so it tends to dry out your body inside and out.
