welcome to the greatest site on the web. Sounds like you've got a good start, the next thing is to make sure you drink you're water and to start exercising if your physically able to. I'm having a great time with this whole process and everyone here is about helping and encouraging. If you're looking for a new mfp friend…

my day is about the same as yours. I decided that exercise was more important to me than laying in bed so I now get up at 4 am and work out. at first it was a tad rough to do, but now I'm used to it, my body's used to it and I feel great!! Remember our Lord has blessed us all with 86,400 seconds to the day, no one get more…

I had to stop trying to fit into a new dress size.................my wife said she'd kick my butt if I tried that :P You're all doing amazing keep up the great effort and you'll fit any piece of clothing you choose to.

lots of other choices, if you google it you can find food substitutes for it.

Great Job!!!!

my favorite new snack is fresh mushrooms dipped in hot salsa......................soooooo good :)

change the battery first, when the battery starts to get low on a digital scale they go a tad whacky. if that doesn't work..................off to the landfill with it!! lol.

Hey Keri there is no such thing as luck it's like saying you'll try. you either do or don't and there is no try. The Lord has given you every thing you need to accomplish all of you're goals. I believe in you and He believes in you no you just need to believe in you. Time to take stock and kick some butt!!! You can do it…

Hey Melissa welcome to the greatest site I've ever found. I'd be honored to be one of your mfp friends if you'd like to invite me. May the Lord bless you on your journey.

as long as you're eating healthy and drinking you're water you'll be fine. I rarely eat all my exercise calories and I feel incredible. Have an awesome day.

Welcome home!!!! glad to hear you're back and ready to dig in. If you're looking for new mfp friends please feel free to invite me. May the Lord bless your journey.

they recommend getting close to it, if you exercise you get bonus calories to use if you want them.

I'm no doctor but this is what I've found. stop drinking really cold water. when I do this I find that I sweat like a dog. I drink room temp water and it's easier for your body to absorb it and it balances you out.

great information thank you

you will feel better for it.

I didn't have mfp. by that I mean not only am I getting positive feed back from many people every day, but I also feel accountable to everyone I've friended and as a result will not give in. I hold people accountable to their diets (as much as possible) and expect them to do the same for me. as a result we all win. great…

Welcome South Africa from Canada :) may the Lord continue to bless your journey.

Thank you for sharing this, it's humbling to realize how much I take for granted at times. Let us not forget God is with us in the high times as well as the low. He doesn't look down from above but walks with you and carries you when you don't even realize it. Sometimes we need to step back in order to realize what is…

if you're exercising the body requires it to help your muscles grow. it also gives you something to run on from my perspective :)

theres a ton of stuff you can do. if you have access to weights use the dumb bells to work the upper body extra. if not use cans of soup. you can do crunches etc. good luck with it and may the Lord bless you as you heal.

wow you've had a fun ride. Great to hear that your back at it and ready dig in. The Lord will give you the strength to fulfill your goals have no doubt. We all believe in you and thanks for sharing your story as I found it very inspiring because you never gave up...........thank you. I'd be honored to be your MFP friend…

Have faith :) Grats!!!!!

don't be shy, we're all in the same boat. every journey starts with a single step and you've just taken your first one grats!! Remember the Lord will give you all the strength you need to accomplish this and more, you just need to believe in Him and yourself. if you want a new MFP friend feel free to add me. God bless.

based on how close you are to your goal weight, I wouldn't suggest even trying to do this. it would be unhealthy.

we all believe in you!! May the Lord bless your journey.

calories are the enemy if you want to loose weight

not only would I recommend strength training if your able to (if not anything extra along with a good diet will help you), I'd suggest it's the best way to not only loose weight but see results. the body adapts quickly to what you do so through strenghth training you can continue to shock it into good results. diet is #1…

outstanding and welcome. if you would like some MFP friends please feel free to invite me.

welcome and it is the best site you will ever find. it's made a huge difference for us all. grats on your weight loss and I know you're going to hit your goals. if you're looking for MFP friends feel free to invite me, the more the merrier. May our Lord bless your efforts as you move forward.

I've started stirfrying lots of different veggys or making veggy packs and doing them on the bbq. throw in lots of spices (garlic, onion, pepper etc.) and they taste great it's quick and it has low calories. my kids (18,19) have begone requesting them because of the flavors.
