Forgot to mention, if you're having trouble with your feet, try a putting water into a 16 oz. plastic soft drink bottle and freezing it. Then roll it back and forth on the bottoms of your feet several times a day.

I just bought the Brooks brand after New Year's. I have ALWAYS had trouble running due to foot issues. So far, I have had NONE with the Brooks. If there is a store near you that employees those who are trained to watch the way you walk/run, I would go there and see what they suggest. The particular store I went to…

I definitely have a problem with sugar, but more specifically, oreos (like the poster above, I will eat the whole darn bag) and cheesecake. Oh, how I LOVE cheesecake!!! Can't stop at one slice.

Forgot to mention . . . you don't know what is in the food so it would be extremely difficult since you can't weigh it and know all the ingredients that are used. It was be a guesstimate at best.

The last time I went on a cruise, I didn't log. I just ate slowly and sensibly and enjoyed everything that I wanted to eat. When I got home, I was 9.5 pounds up on the scale but I didn't overeat once and did LOTS of walking which absolutely shocked me! Five days after my return home, all of the weight was gone, plus…

Absolutely amazing transformation!!! Congratulations on your weight loss success and thank you for the WONDERFUL motivation!

BUMP! Love this thread!

Love, love, love this thread! All the couples look FANTASTIC!!!

Congratulations! You look GREAT!

Congratulations! Your hard work and dedication has off! You look GREAT!

Wow! You've lost over 77 inches in the past year. That is AMAZING results. You look great. Keep it going!

The point I am trying to make is that one viewpoint--if you eat at a calorie deficit, you will lose weight--does NOT work for everyone. I KNOW what works for my body and what doesn't. I'm sure if the OP said she had to cut out processed carbs, sugars, gluten, etc. and that was what it took to lose the weight, then I…

^^^ Hmmm . . . not necessarily. When I was in my 20s and 30s, all I had to do was watch my calories. I could eat what I wanted to and still lose weight as long as I stayed within my daily calorie allotment. Not anymore! For most 40+ year old women, it DOES matter where the calories come from. I stick to roughly 1400 to…

Absolutely marvelous results! I've been weight lifting for 5 months now and I'm loving the progress I'm making.

You look absolutely stunning! Congratulations on your weight loss success!

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. I also agree with the genetic issue as well. I'm so glad to hear you didn't succumb to pressure/fear or whatever else may have motivated you to have the surgery. There is a lady that I used to go to church with and she had a double mastectomy only because she was told…

Thank you for sharing about the Forks Over Knives/Whole Plant-Based Foods info. I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago when a FB friend posted something about it. I watched it a few days ago and actually posted the info on my MFP page. I am moving in that direction as well and look forward to seeing these last few…

Congratulations! All your hard work and effort is paying off!
