Thank you, I am going to go with the one without clothes as that is how I normally weight myself. So this is an awesome weight loss this week for me. Thank You for your feedback.

I am using MFP set up. When I put in I was working out more a week and wanting to lose more a week it decreased my calorie intake. But I don't want to leave so many calories as I hear about your body going into starvation and storing it and well that just won't do me any good.

Congrats, it's an awesome feeling

Shocking to me to say the least. Thank you very much

Honestly I love it. I love when someone notices and tells me I am looking good. I have never got those kind of compliments, I've always got the "you have such a pretty face" that being told I am looking good, really boosts my confidence. Enjoy it, bask in it, you have earned it.

Clothes and as shallow as this may seem Compliments. I love hearing people tell me how good I am looking, it's something Ive never heard before and I really like it. It makes me feel beautiful, something I don't believe myself to be.

I've added you; a little about me I am almost 42 years old I have two awesome kids 15 year old daughter and 9 year old son. I work full time for a local hospital I have a dog, 5 finches, a love bird and 75 gallon fresh water fish tank I hope to help you and we can motivate eachother.

Thank you all so much. It is very exciting. Next I have a dress I bought and wore once, then of course grew out of it literally. I cannot wait to try that on and see if it fits.

I didn't buy them though. I bought like 5 pairs of jeans when I went from a 26 to a 22, so I don't want to waste anymore money right now, I will wear my size 22's until I cannot anymore LOL

I feel that frustration with you. I think I am doing so well, but I guess I'm not since I cannot get passed 20 lbs. I need to lose 100lbs. I hope it get's better for you real soon.

I've been to the doctors, I don't have any injuries, just alot of weight on joints. I'm doing walking right now. I get shin splints I think they call them and I have plantar fasciitis. I bought a new pair of sneakers and they suck, $65 on them. The pain is just from being big and working joints that haven't worked in a…

OMG YES, YES, YES OH AND YES!!! I have actually been thinking of plastic surgery to correct them (only if ins will pay) they are horrible and I blame it on the significant weight loss I had about 10 years ago, I worked out everything but my arms and now they just hang. Not only do they hang, but it hurts and I refuse to…

I just went to my diary and added those two things. So I will see how I am doing. I went over my sodium today by 10, not good. THank you for telling me about that, Now I can look at those also. Again thank you all so much for the feedback.

A patient of mine said to do that today too. She said the stretching is awesome and it will help in all area's. I truly appreciate all the feedback I am getting. I just feel stuck but I know I am not alone.

I have no been tested for that. I know it does run in the family my mom has had both her knee's replaced and her mom had both knee's and hip's replaced. I will be making another call to the doctor and see if they can do that. Thank you for all the suggestions. I appreciate it.

I have seen the doctor, I was told to lose weight and that would take care of the stress on my knees and ankles. Well a little hard to do that when you can't move because of severe pain, I can only take Tylenol and that stuff does not work at all. Pool exercises sound great, but there are only a couple places in my area…

Thank you for the information. And I do not have a smartphone, I have just your basic everyday usage phone, LOL.

Beetlejuice is exactly what I thought of when this lady told me that, LOL. I wish I could post a pic, I just have no idea on how too.

I did that at work today, I couldn't get out and go for my walk cause it is a windy pouring here and even with an unbrella I would of been soaked, so I ran up and down the stairs, did some wall push ups but until I leave at 5:30pm, these people just stress me out. I really hope I never act like them when I get older. But…

Wish I could do this, however, I work with Sick people all day long, angry sick people and when in customer service unfortunalty the customer no matter sick or not is always right. But I do log EVERYTHING I put into my mouth and still stay below calorie goal, so that's a good thing. Glad I am not alone.

I also noticed that clothes I buy at Lane Bryant and Avenue are stretchy and I hate it. Im in a 22 now and because of the stretchy even though no place does it say stretchy they are falling off of me.

Well I have a LOT more weight then that to lose, but my first 19lbs came off super easy, now I cannot lose even an OZ, I have gained this week. No matter how hard I push myself it doesn't work. I hope you reach your goal and you start losing soon.

I was a 46DD I am now down to a 44C

Thank you for the support. I wasn't looking for pitty or sympathy (I know where in the dictionary to find it). I was having a very hard day, venting. I have always been a little self destructive. I have never found myself to be pretty even though people tell me this I just tell them they are crazy and need glasses and walk…

Thanks for this. I am attached to my scale, but what I have read will definitly make me think differently.

I've never really thought about it because I don't add salt ever, even when cooking, but I know foods do have salt in them and I just never really paid attention.

Thank you, see silly question, but you just never know.

Thank you. It feels awesome. I love when people notice and then seeing it on the scale, its a rocking good day, LOL
