  • Hi! I am having my surgery on July 17 after doing 12 monthly visits with my PCP among what seems like a thousand other things. I am a retired teacher. I only have 1 daughter. She has been a joy to me her whole life. She is getting ready to start her 4th year of medical school. If you can't tell, I am really proud of her.…
  • Add me too! Just getting started again!
  • I am such a yo-yo dieter. I weight 282 right now and I want to get down to 140. I lost 62 pounds 2 years ago, but I gained it right back. I will be your friend and maybe we can stop this vicious cycle.
  • A half cup of tuna and a half cup of cottage cheese with a tomato, and salt and pepper of course.
  • I was at a resort in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, near Martinsburg, I think. They served it with apple butter. That was pretty good, but not very low cal. I like to put a little Sweet n Low in it and some cinnamon, spread it on a piece of toast, and then broil. Kinda like cinnamon toast.
  • I agree with Sheila 569. I log everything and it counts in my calorie allotment. I've been on my diet since Jan. 23 and have lost 58 pounds. I also weigh myself everyday so I'm not as likely to cheat.

  • I do the same as you. I weigh myself every morning. I know a lot people will fuss about that, but I know myself. If I didn't weigh myself everyday, I would not be as good on my diet. If I weighed in on Friday, I would think it would be OK to cheat a little here and there. I would have the time to make up for it before it…
  • I have lost 46 pounds too. I know I have a lot more to lose, but people are so stupid when they say things like that. I remember I was waiting to cross the street one day and this carload of teen-age boys went around the corner and hollered out the window "You're so ugly!" Then another time I was at a meeting where they…
  • I have just been logging in my food too, since Jan. 23. I have lost 45.5 lbs. I have had some medical issues that I had to get clearance from my doctor to start exercising. The doctor was so happy with the weight I had lost that she took me off one of my BP meds. Unfortunately I still am on 3 other BP meds. She told me I…
  • I would like to join!
  • If you like ranch style dressing on your salad, I found a recipe on Pinterest. You use a cup of plain Greek yogurt, a package of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (the dry ingredients) and 1/2 cup milk. Just whisk up and refrigerate until chilled and desired consistency. The whole container is supposed to just have 255…
  • Great job! I have lost almost 39 pounds and my Easter dress is too big!
  • West Virginia
  • You look wonderful! I am also 5'7" and I started on Jan. 23 at 280 lbs. I am down 33.3 pounds. I hope I look as good as you when I have lost 80 pounds, I am going to stick with it this time.
  • I like this! I have lost a cinder block!
  • Congratulations! I have lost 30.1 pounds as of today. I have been at 29 pounds and holding for over a week. I had to go for a check-up with the doctor today, so when I stepped on my scales at home before I went and I had hit 30 pounds, I danced all over the house. My doctor was so pleased. She congratulated me over and…
