great letter and just what I needed to read this morning. This is exactly what I am doing today "starting over". With the help of MFP I lost 80 lbs 4 years ago but last year I had a heart attack and some of the medication they put me on made me gain weight fast 25 lbs back on in addition to the 10 lbs before the attack. I…

I'm glad I'm not the only one "starting again". Using MFP helped me lose 80 lbs 4 years ago, I maintained for 2 years but had a heart attack just about a year ago August 27th. All the medications I was put on caused me to gain 20 lbs. I don't feel near as good as I used to with this additional weight so I finally got…

yes it is Beccabahl7's activity is only viewable by her friends. If you know Beccabahl7, send her a message or add her as a friend.

Congratulations! what an accomplishment! I LOVE LOVE the way you did the pics

Thanks for posting, something I am definitely going to try. I also enjoyed reading all the comments, this is one of the things that I love about MFP information from real people.

I prefer chubby over skinny men

LOL Love it! When I started out all I had was the Richard Simmons tapes and exercised by them, I haven't in a long time because I started using Leslie Sansone's walking dvd's. I must say that Richard Simmons tapes were fun and has a lot of the same exercise moves as others I am currently using, also LOVE the fact he has…

Congratulations! my story is so similar to yours, height, weight (although I only lost 80 lbs) but love it in your story where you said when you started out walking seeing your shadow, I was the exact same way and it was so nice to see that shadow get smaller and smaller. Great job and know you feel WONDERFUL!

AGREE with this ^^^

^^^^^ This is what I have found also

A co-worker, she lost weight and it gave me the incentive to try and also decided it was time to start taking care of myself have always looked after others and neglected myself. :) As far as myself in mirror still don't like that but feel better with weight loss.

^^^ good question and anxious to hear answers

Great job! you look awesome and I love the way you did your pics

^^^ too funny LOL

^^^ agree with this Clothing Mfg's have changed the way they size clothing, because when I was 20 years old I weighed 118 lbs and wore a size 7/8 I'm 5'2" and weigh 145 (just about 53 years old) and wear a size 10 comfortably and size 8 tightly (LOL) but at the same time some of the jeans I fit into are not the newer ones…

agree^^

I loved reading this and you can do this, if I can I know anyone can. (and still working on it)

so totally agree with this ^^^^ but also feel if you are comfortable with yourself (and it's healthy) it doesn't matter what anyone else says or thinks. We all have different preferences. Just be happy with yourself.

that is AWESOME!!! and I know what you mean I would NEVER go to waterparks with the family much less get on the rides, last summer I started going with my grandkids and we have a season pass this year, so much fun and exercise too. Happy for your NSV!!!!!

^^^^ LIKE and I'm going to try to look at it more positively than I do Thanks for posting this :)

I like it that I'm a hard worker I dislike that I get taken advantage of

Wow this is me too, thought I had written this. Thanks for posting because I decided last week to go ahead and post my weight gain (which was hard and sad to me) but had to be honest with myself and get that weight back off and try to maintain better. Not glad we are going through the same thing but makes you feel better…

I don't think it's sad, my 5 year old granddaughter likes to workout with me (of course she doesn't do it long). I think it's teaching them to exercise and eat right. Good for you!

that's exactly what I did joined and many months later got started, which was January of last year 2012. I weighed 220 lbs when I started and lost 80 lbs in 10 months. This site helped me tremendously and I'm sure it will help you too. Best wishes!

loose skin! especially inner thighs ugh!!!

I've lost 80 5041

^^^^^ LOL

^^^ agree

congratulations! I love reading NSV's :) makes me happy too! LOL
