Hi Lisa and welcome! I've learned that I am worth it, after gaining 260 pounds over 15+ years. I've been at this since November 2011. Some days are easier than others. It's sad how cruel family & freinds can be...What keeps me going is that I deserve a healthy, happy life. Your strength & motivation has to come from…

Welcome! I'm from the Finger Lakes area of New York State. Feel free to add me, you'll find this is a wonderful community.

skinnytaste.com is my favorite site for tasty, healthy food. My family & I have never disliked any of her recipes. You can signup on the website for daily email recipes.

I stated out using EA Sports Active 2 in our Wii. It's also available for other systems. Walking is great exercise and time to think or review the day. Gradually increase your distance, grades & speed.

Last March I ate back most of my exercise calories and started gaining. I call a nutritionist who said to not eat them. I rarely eat any or much of them and have continued to lose. Each one of us has to figure out what works for themselves. When I'm not physically hungry and have the "mental munchies", drinking water or a…

People not cleaning their cardio machines when they are done, any cell phone use other than lobby, too much cologne/perfume-it bothers my asthma.

Well said now_or_never1 !!

Feel free to add me. I am a retired Emergency Care RN. Loved my job until my until morbid obesity took its toll on my body resulting in disability. Nursing school can be stressful and so easy to overeat...

Thanks for the inspiration! As of November 2012 I've lost 130 pounds in 1 year (almost half way to my goal). I lost my mojo 2 months ago, gained 16 pounds. Today is day 2 of back on track. Your pics show an amazing transformation! Just what I needed to push onward, again thank you!

Congratulations on your loss! I understand...as of November 2012 I've lost 130 pounds in 1 year. Lost my mojo 2 months ago, floundering since. Today is day 2 being back on track. I've found drinking water or hot tea satisfying when I have the "mental munchies". Best wishes!

Hunts (No High Fructose Corn Syrup) Ketchup. 1/4 cup dry steel cut oats cooked in 1 cup water. When cooked, I add 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. coconut sugar and a splash of 1%…

Skinnytaste.com has delicous, tasty recipes. It's become my "go to" site for healthy recipes. My family and I have never disliked anything we made from her website.

Love it, especially the chocolate. I purchase it fromAmazon.

It's not a cookbook, but I use skinnytaste.com and have never disliked any of her recipes.

Drinking water or hot tea has helped me get past these awful cravings.

Yes, I have...I sometimes get strange looks. My thought is, if asked, it's my health and that's all anyone needs to know.

Feel free to add me too.

I feel your pain... I sleep for 2 hours, then wide awake, cat nap and toss & turn until morning. Have been evaluated for sleep apnea, none found. My issue is chronic pain. It's maddening...:(

I have lost 130 pounds in the past year and have 152 pounds to go.

After being a member of our local YMCA for 17 years I needed a change. PF opened in early October in my area. Same driving time to either facility. I haven't looked back! Our PF has classes and fantastic personal trainers. One in fact is a friend who left the Y after being a trainer for 7 years. Making a list of pros and…

You are an inspiration to keep pushing myself!! Thanks for posting your photos. You have done an amazing job, be proud of all you have accomplished!

You may add me.

Feel free to add me. I've lost 130 pounds in the past year. Almost half way to my goal!

Congratulations!! MFP over the past year has also changed my life like nothing else ever did. Fantastic achievement!! Thanks for posting comparison photos, it's inspiring.

I've learned to listen to my body. On "good" days, I push myself to do a bit more. Baby steps over the past year have made a huge difference in my mobility issues.
