You look fantastic!!:drinker: Congratulations to you for all your dedication and hard work!! Stick with it girl, being healthy is a lifetime commitment, not just getting the weight off--I learned that the hard way! Advice from someone that made this mistake...once you get the scale and your body size where you want it to…

Although it is hard, remember that NO ONE has control of your self-worth and your happiness BUT YOU. Don't let "him" have that power over you. Every day that you spend letting it drag you down instead turning it into positive for yourself--you let "him" win. Don't let "him" win, sweetie:flowerforyou: Use all those emotions…

Way to go! You look fantastic!!:drinker:

You will :heart: it! I just joined there myself last Monday. All you have to do to join is post:smile:

I think once a week is what is recommended...I am here to say that sometimes it's hard to wait a whole week!:laugh:

You've come to the right place! MFP is full of wonderful people that are all in the same boat, but at different stages in their journey. If your look around on different threads, you will find alot of support. I've been a member of MFP for a little over 3 years and managed to lose 160 lbs with the support of MFP. I stopped…

1. Mine was 4 years ago when my doctor started talking about total knee replacements because I had so much pain in them. I was edging near 350 lbs. 2. When I would go to my oldest sons football games, I would have to find a seat at the bottom of the bleachers because my knees were to bad and I was to big to walk up the…

I agree. I think you should check with your doctor first, but normally it is perfectly safe (and actually encouraged) for you to continue your healthy lifestyle. Especially with the eating healthy. As for any exercise, (again, talk to your dr) but should should be able to continue with maybe a few modifications.…

I lost 160 lbs in about 20 months. I lost it in the most healthy way (eating right, exercising, strength training, TONS and TONS of water) and in a reasonable amount of time. I have a horrible amount of loose skin :cry: Also, everyone in my family told me that I looked "unhealthy" and 10 years older (I just turned 45 last…

Yup, same as most here. I weigh myself every Wednesday morning after using the "facilities" and with only panties on. Someone else mentioned on this thread that you should do your measurements every month. I agree 100%. Sometimes we don't like what the scale has to say, but when you are measuring inches falling off...now…

My favorite since joining MFP almost 4 years ago is: Don't give up what you want for what you want RIGHT NOW. I always thought about this on days when I felt like I wanted to skip a workout or eat something that would totally blow all the hard work I'd been doing...I would always conclude that I didn't want that big,…

Hello everyone...I just started using MFP again, I was a regular on this site for 2 years and lost a total of 160 lbs. That was almost 4 years ago. Over the last 2 years, I have managed to get completely off track (no structured exercise and ate whatever I wanted) and needless to say the weight began to creep back up on…

I tried curves a few years ago and I personally couldnt stick to it. I got bored easily and found myself just not going. From what I hear, they have changed a bit since then so maybe you should check it out?

Just stopping in to say good morning!:smile: :flowerforyou:

Good morning everyone! I promise I will be back to read posts and get caught up:flowerforyou: Ive been back on track with eating and doing more exercise...just been getting my exercise lately in the form of tennis:tongue: I love playing tennis! Monday was the first day this year that Ive gotten to play and boy my arm is…

Good morning everyone! Well, Im glad we're not turning our weights in anymore...I don't even want to TALK about it this morning!:frown: Have you ever got on the scale and had one of those "I am sooo not believing this!" moments? And not as in the scale is my best friend...lol. Oh well, moving on and getting my butt back in…

Lori-- I absolutely love the jeans!:love: I've been toying with the idea of getting some of those ripped up jeans myself.:blushing: I really just love the way they look... Marla-- Wow, I have been out a while...I didnt realize that your son had moved out. I'm really sorry about that. I hope the new meds work out for you!…

Good morning everyone! Sorry (again:ohwell: ) it's been so long since Ive got to check in. But we finally got internet back in our house:happy: Im sooo happy about that! Wow, honestly...what did we do growing up without internet? Does anyone remember?:laugh: Anyway, I think after a couple of extended absences from MFP I've…

Good morning everyone! I forgot to mention when I checked in yesterday that I got a new car:happy: It's a 2010 Chevy Traverse, it's Chevy's new crossover car and it is AWESOME! I love it!! We traded in the mini van to get something that is more reliable and safe for traveling (Ive been doing ALOT of traveling lately:wink:…

Good morning my long lost friends!:wink: I just spent the last 45 mins reading posts and trying to catch up on what's been going on...wow, I sure do miss you guys! But I am thankful that your always here when I find time to sit and catch up:heart: It sounds as if everyone had a lovely Mothers Day, thats awesome. We are a…

Good morning everyone! Sorry I havent been able to check in for a while, we still dont have internet at the house:ohwell: This site is the only thing I actually miss about it though. Wow, the last 5 weeks have been whirlwind:love: Im still seeing my first love...in fact Im out of town again at his house. This is the 3rd…

Hi guys! I am back home, but I dont have internet at my house right now and probably wont until Friday:frown: So I am at a friends house because I was having MFP withdrawals! I didnt get to read up on any posts, so I dont know what's going on, but wanted to say hi to everyone!:wink:

Good morning everyone! I just wanted to stop in and say hello:smile: Im still not back home yet. I was supposed to have left on Sunday, had the van all loaded and was behind the wheel to leave...the van wouldnt start. I cant say that Im diappointed about that, I wanted to stay a few extra days anyway:blushing: So, now the…

Good morning team!!:happy: Ahem...sorry I havent been in for a couple days, but Ive been busy being blissfully happy and enjoying my visit. :wink: What can I say guys...I am in heaven!:heart: I couldnt ask for things to be going any better than they are. He is as wonderful and sweet as he always was, maybe even more so…

Good morning everyone! Just stopped in to say I have no time to stop in:wink: :laugh: I managed to get almost everything packed last night...but a few last minute things that I can't pack until Im finished using them this morning (think toiletries stuff lol). Ok, gonna run for now. I hope everyone has a beautiful…

Good morning team! Sorry I havent been around to much this weekend. I've had tons of shopping and cleaning to do to get ready for dinner with everyone here at my house today. Plus, Ive had to make sure the house has plenty of groceries and everyone has clean clothes for next week because Mom is leaving at 7am tomorrow…

What a fantastic idea!! I would totally buy MFP apparel:flowerforyou: :drinker:

Oh! I forgot to tell you guys...I have an appointment this morning to get another melanoma spot on my shoulder removed this morning. Please cross your little Black Team fingers for me that they get it all and it comes back clean:smile: But, it does mean more stitches...so no gym for a couple days:frown:

Thanks, Tanya!:flowerforyou:

Good morning everyone! Andrew-- Thanks for the chart, and the challenge (I think:laugh: ) Im going to have to try and go with wall push ups for this one. A month or so ago when Lori and I had our own little challenge going with push ups and pull ups I ended up at the Dr for my wrist. Turned out that I have a ganglion (sp)…
