Depression is serious. You need to seek professional help. I have been hospitalized twice because of depression. Being Bi-Polar I can have either severe mania or severe depression. And with the depression you may have thoughts of harming yourself. I have tried many things over the years and I work very hard not to let this…

Being as old as I am. I like an old Tommy James song - Sweet Cherry Wine. Watch the mountain turn do dust and blow away, oh Lord You know there's got to be a better way.

Hi Diane, My name is Gary and I am 54 years old and myfitnesspal.com is the best place to start losing weight. I have lost 117 lbs. I still have more to lose but I have never been this positive that I'll reach my goal. The key to success is to log in everyday and be truthful about the food you eat. Good luck and if you…

I sleep only 3-4 hours of broken sleep a night. This has been going on for years now. I take a mild sleep medication but it does not help. My doctors will not give anything stronger because I have a tracheostomy and take oxygen at night. They are overly concern (in my opinion) that because these stronger sleep meds will…

Feel free to add me as your friend. I have a small circle of friends that are very supportive. Become friends with me and I will request they become friends with you too. Have over 165 days in a row logged in and have lost 113 pounds. I usually don't look for more friends but I just deleted some because they weren't…

Same here. I prefer a smaller circle of friends who are supportive.

What is eating healthy to you? I eat pretty much the same foods I ate before but I control my portions now and I do not skip meals whether I am hungry or not. And I eat snacks so that I am eating something every 3-4 hours. I do not eat out much but when I do I stay away from fast food restaurants. One exception and that is…

I never eat my exercise calories and I have lost 108 pounds. Just do not go below 1200 calories per day.

I am fiftysomething and I would never stand naked in a locker room and have a conversation with someone. I don't think it is a generational thing. I think the dude is just weird. I would of walked away.

My highest weight was 409 lbs. That was about 10 years ago. Last June 1st I was 359 lbs. I have lost 107 lbs since then. Thanks to MFP and my friends. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

Anyone is free to add me. I am looking for friends that will stay around and log in daily. I consider myself a MFP addict. If you are too then definitely add me as your friend.

I know you asked for one 80's song, but there are too many just to pick one. Here is a small list. Journey - Open Arms http://youtu.be/bHHHmi_8Bhs Journey - Faithfully http://youtu.be/OMD8hBsA-RI REO Speedwagon - Keep on Loving You http://youtu.be/kJOfJFkkE-0 Hall & Oates - Maneater http://youtu.be/yRYFKcMa_Ek Steve Miller…

Welcome to MFP! If you're looking for support and motivation add me as a friend. I am down over 80 lbs now. Joining MFP is the best thing I've ever done.

Hi tacchyy, I too have lost 80 lbs. I still need to lose 80 more lbs to get to my goal weight of 200 lbs. I have the eating down pat. I rarely eat over my calorie goal but it is the exercise that is getting harder and harder to do. And you need to do both to lose weight. I need a push/help in the exercise department. If…

My son-in-law, age 27, has Hodgkin Lymphoma. He just finished his chemo treatments and begins radiation next week. He did amazing well during chemo. This has brought many tears to my family. I hate cancer, but I know it is a matter of when he's cured and not if he's cured. He is a bad *kitten* cancer warrior!

Amazing pictures. Your after photo is awesome. I hope to have the same success you have had with MFP.

I am a total addict. I cannot go a few hours without logging in. I love the food diary. I am always looking at how to improve my diet. I sometimes log food that I even haven't eaten yet. I cannot wait until I get home from work to log my food and exercise so login at work. Don't know if I can get in trouble for this but I…

I agree. There is no reason that you cannot do cardio 7 days per week. However, if you are lifting weights then you must take rest two to three times a week.

Count me in. I need group that will push me!

I am 54 yrs old and they still call me Knobby back home in Minnesota. I live in Washington and no one is allowed to use that name here. I got the nickname Knobby from my uncle who noticed that when I was very young I would throw tantrum afterwhich I would have knobs on my head from banging my head on the wall and floor,…

Friend me too. I give you support and welcome support from you too.
