Great job. I see a difference to. In your legs, tummy & face..I know it can be frustating when you don't see the changes you want to.. But you are changing. 38 pounds is a lot of weight. Last year I lost 35 & then this year gained it back.. I noticed big changes with 35.. It was not the way I looked, but the way I felt..…

Awesome job.. Congrats... Your so inspiring.. Thanks so much for sharing your story & giving your daughter the best gift of all.. A longer life with her daddy... Your pics are great....

Great job... Congrats.. You look awesome.. Very inspiring. I have over 100 to lose myself... Thanks for sharing..

Congrats.. You look awesome.. Thanks for sharing..... :flowerforyou:

I love Ground turkey & have been using it for years... But I just found some new recipes on here.. Thanks everyone for sharing... I use it in goulash, spaghetti, chili & even my corn chowder soup.. I also love to season it & make it into burgers & put a half a wedge of my weight watchers cheese in the middle & bake them...…

I feel your pain.. I to have knee issues.. It has gotten worse since losing weight (go figure that one).. But I refuse to give up.. I have had some down days & I am currently on a plateau - but I know I only have myself to blame. I have some bad habits that I thought I broke - but they have reared their ugly head again.…

Awesome Idea.. I know me & many of my friends would so buy something. I like the idea of a variety of merchandise.. Water bottles, T-shirts, Bandana's.. I know I tell everyone about MFP so it would be great to advertise for them.. Great one...

Awesome.. Congrats... Very motivating.... Thanks for sharing....

A few of my MFP friends nicknamed me Mary Sunshine.. I found this pic & thought it was cute.. :flowerforyou:

Great job... Congrats...

Thanks so much for sharing.. You have done awesome.. Congrats.. I started out at 292 & I am down to 258.. So I feel your pain girl... Very inspiring story.. You look amazing... Hats off to you...

I was up to about a 2-liter of Caffiene free Diet Pepsi a day before I started here on MFP back in January. I am down to drinking 10-12 cups of plain water a day & maybe a glass of my diet pepsi a day.. I used the wylers pink lemonade flavor pouches in the beginning to help me get used to water.. I feel so much better…

I could not agree more with you Lori.. I had a friend send me a message cause she wanted to add some of my friends as friends.. Well I looked & she never or hardly ever comments on anyone's stuff including mine.. So I wrote her back & told her honestly that I have friends who motivate me to besides just me motiving them..…

I started out with Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds... When I get tired of her talking I put her on mute & put some good music on... Also I just started TaeBo recently & I like it... Not to hard on my bad knees..... And walking is good to.. I also do Wii boxing & Wii tennis.. Its a great burn.. Especially the boxing..…

I started this journey at 295.. I started out with 20 minutes of Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds workouts.. Now I am up to at least an hour. Plus I do Wii boxing, Wii Tennis & I have several DVD's I do.. I even have done some Tae Bo & biggest loser DVD's.. Start small & work your way up.. Walking of any kind is a great…

I love Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds workouts.. They are a great workout & you can increase your intensity by using weights or a resistance band... I started out doing 20 minutes a day & I am up to over an hour.. The biggest loser DVD's are good - but can be kind of hard.. I also do my Wii workouts with Boxing &…

I have not set the mini goals yet - but I need to.. My ultimate goal gift to myself will be to buy myself a new wardrobe. Just trying on the clothes will be fun... And looking good in jeans again.. YEAH... I have a ways to go - but I will get there... Good luck everyone...

My moment was getting close to hitting the 300 mark on the scale.. I started this journey at 292.. Well went to the doc & found out I actually had hit 299.. I started thinking it might have been higher when I was not at the docs.. That 300 number scared the hell out of me.. So I found MFP by accident by searching…

I was drinking about 1 two liter a day of diet pepsi and days more.... I cut back to about maybe 2 glasses a day & the rest is water.. I craved food alot more when I used to drink more pop... I also just recently gave up the wylers flavor pouches because they to were making me crave food... I feel alot better cutting way…

thanks for sharing.. Sound good to me to... Nobody better bash you.. lol.. We have Victoria on our side now... lol....

Hubby & I just started gardening again this year.. We have bad soil - so we brought in some good stuff & are taking a try at it again this year.. Tomatos, Potato's, pickles, green beans, squash, zuchinni, pumpkins, onions,radishes and egg plant.. I cannot wait to harvest.. My hubby also has a rose garden with 200+ roses &…

When I feel like giving up I think back to why I started.... And don't deprive yourself.. That will lead to cheating.. I tried to be perfect for the first few months & did great - but then the whole thing started to feel so overwhelming.. I have over 100 pounds to lose & I know this journey is long & takes time.. So I just…

Congrats on the awesome weightloss.. you look great... Very motivating to us who have 100 plus to lose... Happy Birthday & thanks for sharing... You have alot to be proud of... :smile:

Hello.. I have been here since January 9th.. I am truly addicted to MFP.. I have a bunch of great friends who support me daily & I as well support them.. I am down 33 pounds & 34.5 inches ... I have over 100 pounds to lose... Feel free to add me if you want to..

I buy Ronzini (the one with more fiber) & just limit myself to a serving & add some spaghetti sauce & a usually about 3-4 ounces of lean ground turkey.. I don't eat it much - because Pasta is something I could evereat on bigtime.. My husband likes meatballs, so I make him those & just cook my ground turkey seperate & add…

I will be here until its not here anymore (God forbid that happen).. I will need it just as much when I maintain as I do now.. I have an addiction to food & I know I need the support.. Also I want to help people to.. I to delete people who have been absent for over 20 days... Sometimes less.. To each his own - but I love…

First of all - I commend you for starting this journey.. My name is Mary I started my journey on January 9th.. When I saw that scale approach 300 pounds.. (got to 299) I said enough is enough. I started doing 20 minutes a day of low impact, logging all my food, counting calories, drinking more water, eating better & doing…

I love my Leslie Sansone workouts.. Hers are great... I just bought Tae Bo & love it.... Great burn & I really work up a sweat.. Also love the biggest loser ones to.. They are a great workout... Good luck...

I just discovered about a month ago that I love cottage cheese.. I really like it plain.. I like it with fruit.. Have heard to eat it with veggies to.. The salsa & cheese one sounds great to.. Thanks for all the sharing... Might have to try a few..

I have some stuff by Ocean Potion - called Instant Burn relief ICE (it has Aloe Vera/Lidocaine/Tea Tree extract in it).. It is the best stuff.. I have used it quite a few times on me & familiy.. I tell everyone about it.. I bought mine at walmart for under 5 bucks.. It looks like blue jelly in a clear bottle.. It cools…
