I cannot believe no one, on this entire thread has said MISSOURI!! Well, that's me! =)

I side with many and say if you are under your daily calories, and if it's in moderation, why give it up? For me, my addiction was ice cream. Before I began MFP, I would/could eat an entire 1/2 gallon in 2 settings. When I made up my mind to change, I knew that I could not even purchase ice cream in that size or I would…

Hello to all. I'm Jody. I live near Kansas City, MO. I started MFP in January 2012 weighing in at 280 pounds and facing a pre-diabetic scare. My doctor told me I had to do something about my weight. I had much success in 2012: I started working out: elliptical, treadmill, fitness classes, even ran a few 5k's (and I had…

I started MFP in January of 2012 - topping the scales at 277. (I'm now down to 222) I made many life long friends along this journey!! When we first started, we were all above 200 and now, they are enjoying that 199 party. BUT, I'm stuck. Haven't made progress in 3 months now (although not for lack of trying). I think it's…

I have a Pink Polar FT60. I don't have anything to reference to it as this is the only one I have ever purchased, but I wear it with every workout and LOVE what it tells me. I can add accessories to it if I wish, but for now, I am content knowing my calories burned (based on my weight, height and gender), my weekly totals,…

@Jilianne 10 - 1) you've lost over 50 pounds - that in itself is awesome! 2) you live in MI and I'm visiting my mom there in 29 days!! Whoo hoo!!

I've been on Armor for almost 3 now (switched from Liothyronine). I was on Liothyronine for 4 months, which also coincided with the first 4 months of my weight loss journey. In my first 4 months, I lost weight steadily (8-10 pounds a month). Now, I am stalling out, even a one pound gain this month. I can't say it's the…

Great job!!! What a difference!!! So inspired!!!!

Hello zenjenn and friends. This has been my experience. Earlier this year, I changed doctors and found myself sitting in my new doctor's office hearing, "You are morbidly obese. Your health is now to the point that you have to get this weight off. You are 38 and have the blood work of a 93 year old. You are pre-diabetic…

We have a Boston Terrier - TUCKER is his name. Right now, with my youngest son going off to college in less than 2 weeks (10 days to be exact), Tucker is becoming my "baby!!" I'm singing to him at night, even got him pajamas. He's my walking partner, my confidant, my secret keeper. Tucker is my best friend!

Thank you for sharing - VERY encouraging!! Many blessings to you and yours!!

Bless your heart!!! I feel your pain friend!! So sorry to hear what you went through. You are a beautiful person. Hold your head high - you are an overcomer!!!

Take measurements - ASAP!! That's my best advice. On weeks when the scale didn't move, the tape did. That encouraged me so much. Don't give up dear. By eating smaller, healthier, and expending more energy there is NO DOUBT that the scale will eventually more. It may take more than 3 weeks hon, but do not fear, it will…

WOW - I just posed this exact question to my MFP friends... now I see this old topic showing up in my feed. While reading through many of these comments, a thought came to my mind. Yesterday, I was at the consignment store, bringing some clothes that I don't fit into any longer. When the gal held up a pair of my old jeans,…

My doctor started me on DHEA 2 weeks ago. He encouraged me to google DHEA at Mayo Clinic.com. For the past 2 weeks, I have taken it, as well as a testosterone injection and B12 injection. Doc also changed my Thyroid med. I go back in 2 more weeks to check bloodwork. I feel A LOT better, even through circumstances in my…

In January, I topped the scale at my heaviest ever, 277 pounds. My doctor, holding the results of my blood-work, shared the words pre-diabetic, which really scared me. Since January, I've joined a gym and changed my eating drastically. I've lost 33 pounds and have 49 more to go to reach my first goal (which is just what my…

Great Article.

Hi. I hear ya about the sweets addiction. Some days I use a Fiber One Brownie (90 cal) and skim milk for my evening snack. Also, after reading some food recommendations I found on this site, I went shopping this weekend and found "Arctic Zero Ice Cream" at my local Hyvee. 150 calories per pint, 37 calories per 1/2…

I'm 38. I am determined to weigh what my drivers license says - that means I've got some work to do. =) I'm working at this lifestyle change everyday. Add me and let's encourage each other.

I got serious and began a life change 4 weeks ago. A few days before that I had cut out all soda. I didn't ever drink diet, but I did drink roughly 64 ounces of regular pop a day. At first, I used "Mio" (a flavoring sold that can be added to water) to help get the water down. I HATED the taste of WATER. However, I also…

Hi. I've been using this site faithfully for one month. I LOVE it - the ease of reporting the foods and exercises I do, the friends I've made and the things I've learned. I'm 38 years old and the mother of 2 teenage boys. I'm just getting started also. I like to be encouraging and supportive and could always use some…
