  • LOVE the CS Lewis quote. It is so true. I've been battling influenza A the past two weeks. Got to the doctor soon enough after a fever for 36 hours that I couldn't get rid of. The body aches went away with the fever. Now I'm just stuck with a horrible cough that keeps me up all night. My days and nights are all messed up…

  • Thank you to all who have been so encouraging. You have helped me see that it really helps to bounce ideas off of one another. The support is nice. One of the things kenyonhaff wrote above was...You haven't failed if you keep trying. This is so true. It's very hard to shake that feeling of failure. This is where mindset…

  • I would like to thank you for introducing me to EM2WL thinking. It is because of you and I started reading up on their program and I know it's going to work for me. I was very tired of the 1200 calorie eating plan. Granted, it worked, for a while. But it is not something I could live with the rest of my life. I've taken a…

  • I have a friend who works with a bunch of idiots. They always assume that if the cookies or cake is gone, that she ate them because she's overweight. She just speaks up and tells them, "For your information, I didn't eat a single cookie. If you haven't noticed I dropped 70 pounds. What have YOU done?" One guy even had the…

  • I've been using MFP since November. Was starting to feel like I was starving on 1200 calories. So I found the EM2WL group. EatMore2WeighLess. I've started my metabolism reset and am sooooo enjoying being able to eat again. Check it out. I lost 72-73 pounds prior to this by just counting calories, but figured I can't go on…
    in How are baby boomers losing weight? Comment by Shamrock9377 August 2012
  • All I know is that some of those exercises were never made to have a 300-400 pounds person do them. It would raise havoc on their joints. Hips, knees, ankles!!! Oh my! If you are severely overweigh as I was, 285.2, start out in the pool or use a stationery bicycle, or a NuStep machine. These are all low impact and will not…

  • I'm new to this forum but not to MFP. Been logging in everyday since November 2011. I'm 56 years old and have a goal of losing 110 pounds. Since joining MFP I've lost 73 of that already. Well almost....hehe! To be exact - 72.6 pounds. I've got to say that MFP has been the first plan that has really worked well for me. I…
