  • I have kept one pair of my "fat" pants, just as a reminder. I am down almost 40 pounds from my highest weight, and I love holding those pants up both as sign of how far I've come, and as a reminder "never again".

  • I had mine out about 15 years ago. Fortunately, I only had one bad night of pain. Drove myself to the emergency room, and they took it out the next day. The doctors couldn't believe it hadn't been bothering me for quite awhile. You know, I never realized until reading this thread that having my gall bladder out and my need…

  • I bought a Kindle Fire in mid-December, and found the MFP app soon thereafter. I dropped about 5 lbs between Thanksgiving and New Years, but have lost 20 since January 6th. My goal is to lose 32 more lbs. Then I will be at my marrying weight from 25 years ago. I also have gotten three people to sign up here and use it…

  • I find myself in the same situation. I usually eat a light breakfast later than I do on the weekday, and don't eat lunch, and we usually eat an earlier dinner than usual (4-5:00). I also am more active on the weekend, and play indoor soccer on Sunday night, which burns off most of what I have eaten all day Sunday. As long…

  • I saw this book in my library on Saturday, and sat down and skimmed it for about 15 minutes. In my opinion, it was just a lot of common sense ideas for the most part. Increase your exercise, cut down on sugar and carbs, drink lots of water. He lists certain meats, vegatables and fruits (stay away from sugary fruits like…

  • I keep track of most things, but I am not a nazi about it. I had a spoonful of my wifes baked potato soup last week, but didn't want to spend the time trying to figure out how many calories it was, so I didn't write it down. If it is easily calculable I list it. If it is a bite of something I don't angst over it. That…

  • I just gradually put on weight over 20 years of marriage just 2-3 pounds a year, I love sweets, never paid attention to what I was eating, and slowed down in my sports playing as I hit my 40's. I give blood regularly, and found my blood pressure was getting higher, and about 6 years ago I realized I was up to 283 pounds (I…

  • A combination of things. A picture from the beach last summer. Wanting to continue playing soccer and softball at age 51. Blood pressure creeping up. Putting on 20 of the 40 pounds I lost 5 years ago. Just in general not being happy with the way I looked. Getting a Kindle Fire, and finding the MFP app as a free download.…
