Last I heard was 13 died including the shooter. Such a horrible day for so many people and for all of the United States. I'm praying for everyone.

According to the Fitbit Flex manual: Device is water resistant, and can be submerged up to 10 meters. (which I believe is about 33 feet). I swam with mine all summer and it's still working.

I'm so glad you are not choosing to go that direction at your very young age. Let me tell you, YOU can do this if your mindset is right. I am over twice your age (58 until later this month) and I had a large amount to lose when I started also. I was 290 pounds and decided to start by setting a goal to cut my weight in…

Honestly without logging you can know nothing for sure. My dietician as well as many people here will tell you that most people greatly underestimate the calories they are eating if they are not keeping a food diary. It might take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's real a no-brainer and doesn't…

Kentucky does not put weight on the actual license. But I did put my honest weight on it when I got it renewed last year. 180 pounds and I was proud of it because the old one was 250 and I had gained 40 pounds on top of that. So going from 290 to 180, heck ya I was proud. I currently weigh 145.

I eat grilled skinless chicken breast at least 3 nights a week. And at 30 calories per ounce, I get a really good size portion.

I buy fresh skinless boneless breast tenderloins , specifically: Perdue - Fit & Easy Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Tenderloins, Raw. They are 30 calories per ounce according to the package. They are in the database.

Being able to wear my partner's small button-up shirts. Which is pretty good considering I was over 2 1/2 times her weight when I started.

LOL I agree on talking to my dog too.

US gal here. Started at 290 pounds, size 26W and 4X. Now at 145 pounds, size 8 and/or Small or Medium tops. Oh, and 5 foot 3.

Quite frankly I probably talk to myself more than 6 times a day. Most of the time, it's the most intelligent conversation I have all day! haha

Absolutely. And let me reply for the person who answers below me, the answer for me is NO!

I eat whatever I want. Just change the portion sizes from before and weigh everything so I can get an accurate calorie tally. I eat a combination of processed foods and "clean foods". It's called what I can do for the rest of my life. It may have made my weight loss slower, but I'm happy that I've reached my goal weight in…

I'm thankful to have all my family for another day. I can never get enough of being with my family.

trip up

Did read all the other posts....but yes I have. Found someone in the process of committing suicide. Happy to say she did not succeed.

Will be 59 later this month. Reached my goal a couple of weeks ago. My motto throughout my journey as been: patience + perseverance = Payoff!

Our yorkie passed in February and we still don't feel ready for another one yet. We still have our shih Tzu who is almost 12. I've always wanted a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel but I don't know. There are so many shelter dogs that need adoption, that I think I will probably go there and let one or two steal my heart (it…

The only thing I could think of is dance/gymnastics lessons. But that was considered non-essential, so I ended up taking piano lessons which was in their minds, culturally correct. Funny thing tho, I also got to take baton twirling lessons. Weird huh?

Everyone is different, particularly a growing child. 100% agree with the others. His physician should be the only one qualified to answer this. No one on mfp should even try to answer your question even if they have had experience with scoliosis .

Make small changes at a time. Sometimes people get overwhelmed if they jump in feet first and change everything in a single day. I had a struggle with diet soda. I used to drink 8-10 per day. One of my dear mfp friends told me that I really should change over to water. He explained the many reasons why, but I couldn't stop…

Any cute animal pic is awesome! But, I do have to say I was a bit awesome this week myself. I reached my goal weight!

Yes I do but not as much as I used to do. Restaurants are pretty easy unless it's a non-chain type restaurant as the majority of the chains have their nutrition guides online and I just preplan my meal before I go. That way I don't even open the menu and can stay on point. Eating at someone's house is usually trying to…

Love it and would wear it!

I have fitbit flex and love it. I love that it is waterproof and I never have to take it off to shower or swim. The fitbit Dashboard is fantastic and gives you all kinds of information. Also the Earndit Fitbit website allows you to earn rewards and badges and offers free and paid challenges that I enjoy doing. Honestly, I…

I still have a helping of some kind of fruit everyday. My dietician insists on it!

OK, going to try to upload pictures. I've never had any luck before. See how fat and saggy my legs are!

True, old and wrinkled. TNP ate ice cream today.

With Kindness!

I pray that she is serious. I went on a liquid diet that had all the vitamins etc that you are supposed to have. It consisted of 3 shakes per day for a total of 330 calories daily. The OP will be getting ZERO calories. I weighed 169 when I started and dropped to 115 and then dropped to the floor passed out. Taken to the…
