Yes and yes. I'm more satisfied with what I eat now than 3 weeks ago. In fact this last thrusday I got together with some friends and ate a brownie and some crackers with cheese (I passed on the sangria) and I felt a little sick to my stomach when I got home. I think it is because I haven't been eating fatty foods for…

All the killer tornadoes :( I'm caught in tornado alley every friggin year. We had an EF5 tornado on 05/22/11 that traumatized our city for many years to come. I'll never forget how much blood and suffering I saw on that day. Also, being a progressive or indenpendent around here can be dangerous...I hate to say it.

It is incredibly inspiring to read stories like yours :) thank you so much for sharing with us!

My REAL reason: I'm terrified of CVAs and MIs. Most of the patients I meet with these problems are overweight. Granted there are some who are not but the majority are. It's not the "dying" part that scares me...it is "living" depending on others to wipe my *kitten* that frighten me. Secondary reasons? High heels, smaller…

My ex husband never turned me down no matter what. That was not a good thing by the way. He seemed to have no feelings about anything else going around him and just wanted to do it. If I didn't do it he wouldn't talk to me for a few days and give me the could shoulder. At one time we had a child in a coma in NICU, and he…

I've lost almost 2 inches off my waist and yet I have lost only 3 lbs (as of today). I too was baffled, until someone pointed out that exercise plays a role in re shifting your body weight too :) I've looked in other sites and this seems to be the case :)

Oatmeal is the bomb! it keeps you full longer, has low calories, and it keeps you regular. Don't take just the word of MFP members. Don't eliminate oatmeal from your diet unless and until you learn for multiple source that it is bad for people trying to loose weight (which I doubt).

I have a friend who is an avid runner and according to her it is not the price of the shoe, but the fit. I have an old pair of adidas running shoes that I got on clearance over 2 years ago that is the perfect running/walking shoe for me. And then I have a pair of $100 Nikes (said to be made for running) that is not good…

I need brain bleach after seeing this... so utterly gross!

May I suggest that you eat a little more? 1290 calories is too little for a guy... just saying :) maybe your body is in starvation mode.
-
The healthier I eat the more I toot! haha! I fart so much it isnt even funny. SInce I work in healthcare with all sorts of gross things most of my work mates don't care, but my kids make fun of me! I am a freshman elderly , I'm 43 :tongue:

I have never met an obese person who eats a lot of fruit. Just saying.... You have to watch the amount of fruit you eat if you are diabetic. But if you are not I don't think it is a problem. I wouldn't take the word of MFP members only thou. Ask Weight Watchers for example :)
-
thank you so much for your feedback! I was afraid I was imagining things LOL ! I use a digital scale my kids have since forever. I don't know how accurate it is. My work scrubs are bugging me thou... the pants feel so baggy. And.... (this may be TMI) I feel like my boobs look smaller when I put my bra on :embarassed:…
-
Yes ma'am I have been working out on my old treadmill. I hope you are right :) I'm sooooo impressed with what is going on! but in a way I am sort of scared to celebrate not knowing if this is really something that others have experienced also. I have not pulled out the measuring tape yet but I know my clothes feels a lot…
-
I love this advice :) Imagine the amount of good food you can eat for a lot less calories :) It helps me to not bring any junk food into my pantry. It also helps me to have fresh fruit to snack on when I get the munchies. Good luck in your journey!!

Me , Myself, and Irene (which is also myself ) :ohwell:

I work in healthcare. One of my motivations is to never reach the state I see a lot of patients in :( because of obesity :( God help me I never want to stroke or have an MI because fat is blocking my arteries :(
-
I joined at the end of 2011 but lost track of everything and never took it seriously until 12 days ago. I've lost a little over 2 lbs since I started coming here everyday to log my food & calorie intake. I don't think I have a secret (yet), just fear of loosing control over the weight I gained every since a EF5 tornado hit…

Beautiful job!!!!!

I haven't been able to completely wipe out sweets from my diet. Chocolate is the love of my life :) and I wont give it up until I'm dead! haha :) but I do limit it and I pound pavement if I stray from sweets more than I am allowed to :) I ate a mini Almond Joy last night (close to my TOM, what can I say) but I made sure I…
-
Excess of sugar, pasta, and white bread. I've noticed that since I started eating a lot less of these things my body feels better overall. I don't feel as sluggish as I did before and... my gut, as in my intestines, is behaving a lot better. I used to have horrible tummy problems and have to take pills to get my gut to…

I make mine with frozen blueberries, almond milk, and some honey. It is not as good as the one I used to make with soy milk but it has less calories with almond milk.
-
I dont know you but I want to say that I am proud of you for your success :) You have lost a lot of weight and you are doing well :) I was inspired by you. I'm 43 and sometimes I think I am wasting my time by trying to loose weight. Thank you for posting. It is people like you who inspire others to keep going

When I was 130 lbs I felt pretty good. I'm only 5 feet tall. Family Y told me that my ideal weight should be 112 lbs but I got that skinny in 1998 and people thought I was sick. I don't agree with what the Y told me. I'm short but I should not weight less than 125 otherwise I look ill.
