Good for you!

-it only takes six months to gain back what took two years to lose -you don't realize how good eating healthy makes you feel until you stop doing it

I use it as a guideline. If I know I have gone over my goal for the day, it is just the motivation I need to get in a little extra exercise for the day. Overall, my goal is to lose weight. If that is being accomplished, then it doesn't really matter what MFP says your calorie intake should be. As long as calories in is…

I don't have a cut off time because I can't sleep if my tummy is grumbling.

We use skim milk and it works just fine.

Great story and very inspirational. I'm going to check out Beach Body to see what it's all about. It has inspired me to really try to reach my goal by the end of the year. Thank you. And...Happy Belated Birthday!!

I assume you have been referred to an endocrinologist. If so, that is the best place for you. Based on your symptoms, it almost sounds like you are all over the place on your hormones. Some of your symptoms are hypo (low levels) and hyper (high levels). You probably need an adjustment on your medication. There is a lot of…

Why?? Because this journey is not easy. We can't just expect to wake up one day and never have another bite of all the food we have eaten so carelessly everyday for so many years. Why? Because we have to start somewhere. I have fallen off the wagon several times because I get discouraged, but I have to remember also to not…

After losing that much weight, you can post your pics as often as you like. You deserve it. Not a flaw in your character, truly an inspiration.

Great NSV!! Sad you won't be able to wear them for a while if you put them into storage. How about putting them on a chain and wear them arond your neck?

Great for you!!! Keep up the great work and before you know it, you will be at goal.

Great decision. Stick with it and you will not regret it. My mom quit a year ago. She used the patch and her doctor prescribed Wellbutrin for the first few months. She did not have any ill effects, mood swings, or desires to replace it with something else. I would strongly encourage you to get some type of medication at…

I agree with everyone that says it's jealousy. Feel proud with what you have accomplished and start working on toning. Perhaps, some muscle will show your "friend" just how wrong he/she is. I would not be surprised if it's really your roommate. You look great!! Tell her to look at Swoosie Kurtz. Now that is way too thin.

I"m here for you. What's important is that you don't give up. Even during school, you have to find what works for you and it sounds like you have all ready found out that different situations call for a different plan of attack.

Didn't care for them. I think they really need some type of flour in them to give them more structure.

Chemicals when referring to artifical sweeteners or food additives. Everything on earth is a chemical. Bucks, they are dollars not a male deer. Theresa, No offense if you have that name, it's just the ex-wife's name and she's been a thorn in my side.

But hilarious!!! LMAO!!!

1. What is your eye color? Brown Hazel 2. What is youre favorite season? Late Spring/Early Summer 3. What is your favorite Holiday? Thanksgiving 4. Have you ever been arrested? Uh, nooo...although my hubby says getting a ticket is kind of the same thing and I've had two of those. 5. What are 2 things with in arms reach of…

I love this sight. I have found a lot of friends and the best part is we all share our daily struggles. What I have benefitted the most from is not the weight loss tools, but getting to know that other people have the same struggles I do, yet continue on. We draw support from one another to get through the tough painful…

I really liked this thread. I'm just under 5ft 1 and currently 215 lbs. I've lost almost 10 lbs for about the 20th time. I have really just started, but my profile pic is the closest one to the start that I have. Thanks to all who posted. Very inspirational!!!

For the first time in what seems to be a month, I was finally under goal after eating dinner!!!

It may seem a little childish, but "pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again". It happens. What's important is today. Not yesterday because it's gone. You cant change it. Not the future, because it's not here. What you do today is the only way to shape the future.

I have 100 lbs to lose. While I do not have what would technically be considered a mobility impairment, I do have times when I hurt do bad that I can hardly move. On my good days, I can get a lot of exercise. On my bad days, I spend most of them in bed or sitting in a chair. I have had some relief from a chiropractor, a…

Do you have disc disease? Have you tried a chiropractor? I have suffered from low back pain for years, but never wanted to go to one because of a bad experience with one many moons ago. In fact, I used to call them Quackopractors. However, this spring when my neck pain was so bad I could not see straight and nothing was…

I know I have mentioned to you about the pain I go through. I know how you feel, but know I am lucky because my pain isn't constant. I, too, am the breadwinner of the family. I've had to take off twice for surgery and it's financially disastrous for me. I have disability insurance, but by the time I pay for my portion of…

Never!!! This site is almost identical to Weight Watchers, but is free even before you reach your goal weight. To maintain you have to remain accountable to yourself. Without tracking regularly, your portions will creep up in size. Why do you think Weight Watchers has lifetime free member ship once you reach your goal…

CONGRATS!!!!!!

Great NSV!!!

I'm not a professional, but I have done a lot of studying on weight loss. Based on my research, I would adjust the goals you have set in MFP. I'm your height and am 215. My calorie intake goal is only 1400 calories with a sedentary lifestyle and losing about 1 pound a week. As long as I stay very close to my goal and under…
