Hi Nick! Thank you for sharing your story! It is tough, but don't give up. Yes, it is going to be a war. It will not be easy and it will require you to make sacrifices. You mean a lot and are loved by many people. You are worth the fight. Having said that, losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. At 406 pounds, 1400…

I'm a great supporter and in need of the same. I've got goals to crush as well. I've sent you a friend request.

If you go to groups and type lgbt in the search bar, there are a number groups to connect with.

Feel free to add me. I'm also looking for encouraging friends who are active and reciprocate comments.

Feel free to add me as well!

Hi Shimmer, feel free to add me. I'm looking to lose 35 more pounds. I'm set at 1200 cals a day. I keep an open diary. I'm not the cleanest eater, so don't ever feel judged. I usually workout 6-7 days. I'm definitely here/been here for awhile and am active on mfp.

Hi Anita! I commend you for wanting to do something about it! I'm an optometrist that checks for diabetic retinopathy and other visual issues from uncontrolled diabetes. Too many of my patients continue to eat anything they want and not exercise because they think, "that's what diabetic medication is for". I'm glad that…

Friend request sent! Just turned 46 and need to lose ideally 50 pounds.

Hopefully I make the mark. I'm 5'5" and need to ideally lose 50 pounds, but I've set my mpf goal at 40 pounds. Please add me if you'd like! That goes for anyone else on this thread!

Please add me as well. Mid-40's here. It's so much harder now. I'd love to be friends!

Just turned 46. Feel free to add me as well!

You're awesome! Please feel free to add me. I need to lose 40-50 pounds. I'm an active supporter (not just pressing the like button) and keep an open diary.

As others have said above, you can definitely lose weight walking if you are careful about your caloric intake as well. In answer to your question about your fitbit, it uses an optical sensor to monitor your heart rate. They're known to do well at rest and walking speeds. They get a little inaccurate at fast heart rates…

Feel free to add me. I match all of your critera. :wink:

Count me in as well! Feel free to add me in! I'm a 45 yo female with 20-30 pounds left to lose. (Unsure of my goal weight b/c I'm lifting weights. I'll be going by %bf or appearance at that point.)

For the short term fix, eat small meals and snacks spaced out about every 3 hours. Meanwhile, I'd make an appointment to see your primary care physician for further testing. Many factors can cause hypoglycemia, if that really is what you have. For example, are you taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (used to treat…

Ditto! I'm in need of active mfp partners. I need to lose another 22 pounds.

Feel free to add me as well! I'm over 40 and a working mom as well. I'm looking to lose 22 more pounds.

Hi! I'm over 40 and need to lose 22 more pounds. Feel free to add me, if you'd like!

Huge difference! Your clothes are probably feeling a little baggy too. Congrats!

I'd also look at polar.com itself. They've got updated straps for $21.95.

Count me in for the next challenge!

Add me if you'd like. I'm an active commenter, exerciser, and keep an open diary. I have 30 more pounds to lose, so we can keep each other accountable.

Friend request sent. I'm 5'5" female with 47 pounds to lose when I started mfp a few months ago.
