Hello, I'm 42 yo mom and I have 156 pounds to lose. I've been at this for a bit now, so far I've lost 46 pounds. I also have RA and other health conditions. Feel free to add me ! Started this at 306, now I'm 260 pounds.

Phenomenal!

I was really hoping for a picture of said pie with this post... ;) >:)

Fantastic! :) :)

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to hear today. I'm resetting my weight loss goal to 1 lb/wk instead of 2. I've been struggling bad lately so this may be just what I need to take the pressure off a little.

Hi,anybody can add me to their circle , I still have over 100 to lose. I've lost a bit but have a long ways to go. Once upon a time I lost 64 pounds but that was a long time ago lol. Life happened and I'm back at this thing. I'm here every day tracking :) I keep at it because I never plan on giving up trying to reach my…

Hi. I'm a mom of 2 back to losing weight and getting healthy. Feel free to add me

Hi I am a 38 year old SAHM of 2 great kids, any other moms needing support feel free to add me. I log in every day. I am trying to lose this weight that I regained over the past couple of years. Ugh!!

Hi, 38 year old Mom of 2 here. Trying to lose this weight again that I regained, anyone feel free to add for accountability.

My face when I came into this thread: :( My face leaving this thread: :D

Hello and welcome. Congratulations on losing your first 16 pounds that is wonderful! I totally understand the struggle of weight and depression, been fighting it nearly all my life. It is doable though if you have patience and stick to it. Consider every pound you lose a victory. Stay on this course and by this time next…

Excellent post and phenomenal weight loss/health improvements! Good for you!!

I really like your story and can relate. I love your never give up attitude. It's funny how once our minds switch into a healthy lifestyle and we start living it, we always go back to it even if we may fall off the track from time to time. Thanks for sharing you look great.

Wow you sir, ROCK! Congrats on this major achievement.

Okay if you say so. Ignorance is bliss I guess...

19 year old who thinks he knows it all and has been here a whole whopping six months spouting off at the mouth. You're still new here. Stick around for at least 2-3 years like some of us, long enough to learn and see trends, get to know people and then you can say you're not new. Also get back to us in about 10-20 years…

I just wanted to bump this up because I think you did a wonderful job! WLS just happens to be the tool that helped you reach your goal, I know its not a magic cure. YOU did the work to get to where you are! Congratulations!

I wasted years yo-yoing on Atkins and it sucked the joy right out of eating. Found MFP, realized I didn't have to cut food groups to lose weight and bam lost 64 pounds eating whatever I wanted. Don't waste your time on this fad.

My son suffered from chronic hives for months. We went to an ENT allergist and they allergy tested him for everything (food + environmental). They found he had a moderate allergy to milk that was causing his break outs. Since we cut back on his milk intake by 75% he hasn't had one outbreak (going on 6 months now). He used…

Also make sure you are weighing your food and measuring your liquids. Accuracy is key to keeping a proper deficit!

TDEE minus 1400?? No. For someone trying to lose only 16 pounds, she should set it to a 250-500 cal deficit per day. 1400 cal deficit would be HUGE, where are you getting this from? OP find your TDEE, eat 250-500 cals less than that per day and you can reach your goal in 16-32 weeks.

Guess I'm moving to Tonga.

I'm not so sure I'm buying this. It's basically saying I'm the fattest woman in the world, LOL!! According to that, my BMI (44) is higher than 99% of the US population (aged 30-44) and higher than 100% of the world. Really? At 5'7 and 279 pounds? I know I'm classified as morbid obese but I've seen TONS of people…

I don't care, she can flag my post into eternity. Still doesn't change facts. Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this though...

YUP

You sure you're 28 years old?
