I'm struggling. I had lost 20 pounds, but gained it all back. I have around 100 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me and we'll get each other where we want to be!

I should add that I have around 100 pounds to lose. I for sure have hypertension, and have just recently found out that there is other things wrong with my heart as well. Thank you so much for the friend request, lillyloki28!

I have hypertension, palpitations, and regurgitation in my heart that I'm getting ready to see a cardiologist about. I've known I needed to lose weight for a while but now with the new information about my heart, I think I better get my butt in gear. Feel free to add me!

I have a hundred pounds to lose. You all are welcome to add me as well. I'm 5'3, 240 pounds and want to get to 140. Also I'm 29 years old and have two kids.

Welcome to MFP! Stay honest and true to yourself, log everyday and everything and you will go far! <3

I have Hypertension at 27 years old. I've been toying with trying to lose weight for about two years now, but now it's time to get serious and get in better shape. Not only for me, but for my children as well.

Meh, I just turned 27. It's terrible we have it so young! It did raise it quite a bit, but it's been high like that without drinking coffee too. Did the BP meds make you real sick at first? I tried taking a whole one and I was zonked out all day. So I called my doc and she said take half of one. It's a lot better.

I do have BP cuff, guess I'll check and see what my BP is now. I dunno, but I sure feel better after drinking a cup of coffee. Haha.

Thank you so much! You all are being super helpful! <3 Here's another question: I am coffee drinker, sometimes I can't get along without it. I've been avoiding making any coffee, but it's come down to me having a headache (caffeine withdrawals I assume). Is okay for me to drink coffee? I've been told decaf would be okay,…

Thanks for all the great advice! I can't wait until I can get to the store and start looking around for better foods.

I will never recommend the Mirena ever again. I loved it (for the most part) while I had mine. But I too thought it was making me gain weight and having trouble losing the weight. So I switched to the Paragard and that is when all chaos broke loose. I'm having trouble regulating my menstrual cycle and have heart…

Hey! Welcome to MFP! I'll gladly be your friend. :) I am a mom of two boys who are 7 and 6 and I'm 26! I have about 100 pounds to lose, I ate ALOT during my pregnancies and gained a ton of weight. Let's do this thing!

I'm from Kansas and we say pop, subs and fireflies. :)

I just started a new pill also. I've been spotting and just generally feeling pretty yucky. I hope things level out for you quick. I think it messes with our weight, mine has been all over the place.

This makes total sense to me. I too am struggling like the OP and after I read your post, I feel better about the whole thing. Losing weight is just something we have to do (if we are not at a healthy weight), like going to work or college. Thank you for posting this!

Thank you for posting this. It was something I needed to hear today. I hope your day has been wonderful!:flowerforyou:

You will get many "leave him"s and "see a counselor", but my husband is like that also. I'm sure deep down inside somewhere you two truly love each other, just don't see eye to eye sometimes. I think they work all the time, come home and it looks the same so they assume we haven't done anything but sit on our tushies. Of…

GAH! I love SOAD!!! I like pretty much anything that is metal. *nods* You may add me as friend! :heart:

I have a hard time not eating a whole box of cookies or the whole cake/pie/whatever sweet thing is in my house. It's better for it to not find it's way into my house or only have the portion size so I know for sure that's all I have and nothing more. Sometimes if I'm craving chocolate, I'll just buy one candy bar and not…

I'm 26! Feel free to add me anyone!:flowerforyou:

Hey! I'm from southwest Kansas! :) I also don't have much support at home; I'm trying to lose about 100 pounds. I'll send you a friend request! Anyone can add me if they'd like!

Wow such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your story with us!

I want to lose more than fifty pounds too, but am highly motivated! Let's do this thing! lol.

Great job! I'm so proud of you even though I don't know you. I wish you many many more years of health and happiness!:flowerforyou:

Lookin good! I love your blouses, so pretty!

Hello! I could stand to lose a 100 pounds, but my goal is 80. If I get that far, I'll try to go lower. :) I'm a short one.. 5'3.

I try to do it before, to make sure I don't go over. But in my house, we are pretty random and plans change quickly.

Nope, I keep my account to stay in touch with family and friends. Waay easier than calling.

Great job! Looking fabulous. :)

I'm in the same boat! I could stand to lose 120 pounds, but 75 or 100 would be fine. I log on everyday and will like your statues if I have nothing to say. Good luck!
