  • I started out at a size 18 in pants, wore a 16 in a dress (US sizes) as long as the dress was A-line. I've been on MFP a year, and am down 48 pounds, wear a 12 in pants and a 10 in a dress. Down from an XL shirt/sweater to a medium or a large, depending on the style. I have never liked my clothes tight, plus I'm a teacher…

  • October 5, 2012, at my son's wedding.

  • I'm 51 and have lost 43 pounds so far. I too have had a weight problem all of my life. My son's wedding (this past October 5th was a huge motivating factor and I feared I would lose that motivation once the wedding was over. Not even close! I feel so much better and so much healthier and I'm very close to a personal goal…
    in Show me dramatic weight loss over 50 years old Comment by mkcreek October 2012
  • I have a banana, cereal and almond milk (try it, it is delicious and only 30 calories a cup) OR a fruit/granola yogurt, or I treat myself to either an Egg McMuffin without cheese (250) or a Starbuck's egg white/feta wrap for 280. All satisfy me until lunch. I also try to stay around 1200 - 1300 calories a day, and these…

  • I use the site to track everything I eat. I've been a member since early January and have lost 35 pounds. I also have been able to go down two sizes in pants/dresses so far. My original motivation was my son's October wedding. I bought my mother of the groom dress in March, and just returned it yesterday for the same dress…
    in Not sure Comment by mkcreek August 2012
  • I just tried almond milk on my cereal and like not only the taste but the texture. My grandson, who is allergic to soy, milk, and all nuts, drinks rice milk (he's 2). I have noticed that the rice milk tends to separate when it sits for a bit. I'm not sure what that means in terms of taste, but it certainly doesn't look…

  • Has your doctor evaluated your thyroid condition and is he/she treating it? That would be my first suggestion. I also have hypothyroidism and take medication daily, but even once I started on it, I didn't see a significant weight loss. I did feel better, though. I find I have to keep my calorie intake lower than MFP…
    in not being able to sleep is really Comment by mkcreek July 2012
  • Boy, can I relate! But I have been a yo-yo dieter for my entire life. I'm finding that (finally) I have found something that works. I am eating all the same things, just cognizant of calories and portion sizes, thanks to MFP. When I've cut things out and deprived myself totally, it backfires. Your "friend" needs a wake-up…

  • I'm also in Week 1! Trying to get down to a decent dress size before my son's wedding in October, so I definitely have a goal in mind. Plus the bride-to-be bought a size 0 wedding dress and it has to be taken in. I look HUGE next to her! Could use the support here. Thanks!
