Welcome to MFP, sounds like an exciting trip you have planned, look forward to seeing you meet your goals

I'm with you, I've still been getting my exercise, but I need to get back to better planning food wise, and set some new goals with specific dates, etc... to push me. You'll get this, you want it, you just need a plan too and we'll both do great.

Wow, fabulous job, thanks for posting :) and sharing your story

It's not you, it's me, lets just be friends.

I'm signed up for end of August in Boise Idaho, totally nervous, still need some work before it happens

*HUGS*

Thank You

Although I don't disagree with sentiment, and I do appreciate your taking the time to share your opinion, despite the fact that I'm not asking for any opinions on the contest, just some good and bads and suggestions on this specific plan. Doing this challenge, has helped me to set some goals, keep focus, and push myself.…

Still about 320lbs, started at 434lbs

Still have so much to loose, have been barely losing the last few weeks. I need to reign in some behaviors that have been getting the better of me eating wise, and am entered in a weight loss competition, and although my journey will continue after, I believe I'm in the running for first prize, and this will help me get…

THE 'SHOW TIME' DIET -A +A Like the training portion of this program, the diet has to be equally as intense to get you ripped and ready in four short weeks. Each week schedules a carb and calorie slash, but protein will stay steady so you don't risk sacrificing muscle. Begin the first week with a daily intake of 16…

Sorry your feelings are hurt, truly I am. For me, I just tried to share my own experiences, give you some solicited advice, and share how I felt about some of the attitudes I felt from your post in some specific phrases or words, that came off very harshly and inflammatory to many of us. For most of us, this is a very…

Love this! Thanks for saying it. :)

I think many people on here will attest, that although that kind of eating is a large part of why I/we got fat, there are a whole lot of other things going on, and my eating habits, although bad, were a side effect of the many other issues going on in my life and head. And if you were to say anything to me, especially…

Unusual is such a harsh word, rare maybe would be a better one. And yes, I have a tv in my bedroom, and I wish I didn't love it so much, but there are so many better options and I'm learning that little by little. To me, this sounds like a loving and selfless act, and definitely not abuse. The fact of the matter though, is…

Discover, that's a beautiful sentiment. For me it's different for everybody, most of the time, though, if they're not on, there are no posts or updates from them, so there is not much effort required in having them on my list. If it's been a month or more, and we never really connected than maybe I'll delete them, but some…

Fantastic Job, looking fabulous, keep it up

Amazing, Very Beautiful, Great Job!!!

I see your point about the weight being the only factor that insurance and others often times are looking at, but sometimes, I need indicators that I'm still heading the right direction even when the scale doesn't show it that week. So the measurements, help me stay positive and keep on track, so that the next week or the…

Great Job!!

That is so so Awesome, Way to go!!!

Awesome, Great Job!!!

Fabulous Job!!!

Welcome Ron, I have found this site and the people here helpful, It's not an easy journey, but so far it seems so so so worth it.

She's old enough to possibly appreciate some of your childhood stories, talk to her about those conversations you had as a kid and the feelings you had because of them. Share that they hurt you, and let her know it's ok to feel those things. Anyway, I'm thinking/hoping that you can build some better communications, so she…

Great Job, Thank You for sharing

Very Nice!!!

Well, I know it's been beaten in to me to eat something within an hour of getting up, to jump start the metabolism, It definitely could be wrong, and I've noticed that there are a lot of people that respond differently than others in a lot of situations. So, I would say it wouldn't hurt to get something healthy in your…
