Hi everyone...hope you all had a wonderful holiday season !!! I have been out of town, but am back at it !!! My stats are the same as start day, but that's my fault. Tomorrow is a new day, and its a new year. MY YEAR !!! Goodl uck to all. Lets do this !

Height: 5’10” Starting Weight: 219 Current Weight: 215 Goal Weight: 170 Chest: 42” Waist: 41” Hips: 45” Thanks !!!!

Running. Have recently started, and I'm a turtle so I need to improve there, and doing Body Pump twice a week, and miscelleneous weight training. Just trying to get into a rhythm.

Hi, my name is Dawn, I'm 46 and live outside of Pittsburgh. Joined MFP last year, and did fairly well with it and exercise, lost about 20 lbs., and then in late March had to have Thyroid surgery, and that derailed me for about a month or six weeks and I never got the same drive, and then work got the best of me and my…

I read this article this morning. Very powerful, and unfortunately, very accurate. My sisters family is battling a similar situation, I won't say diagnosis because there has been none, but a similar situation with her adopted 17 year old son. It's been a battle since he was a toddler. Now what ? My heart hurts for everyone…

I almost am afraid to post, like I'm snoooping and eavesdropping into your life. Thank you so much for sharing. As many others have said, it brought tears to my eyes as I sit here at my office desk. You, are the definition of inspiration. I wish you so much success on this journey. GOOD LUCK !!!!!!

Hi !!!! My Starting Weight is 210 My December Goal Weight is 190 Thanks

I second and third many of the great ideas...walking...jogging....minutes of exercise...even somewhere I saw once where people accumulated miles as if they were walking across the county. I'm very excited to have stumbled upon this group, it will be a huge help to me for the fall when I tend to turn into a hermit, and stop…

I always give up when I hit a plateau, and after being stuck there for a few weeks, I say what the heck, I might as well eat a pizza because I'm not losing anything anyways, oh and a couple beer never killed anyone, oh why not have a candy bar.....and then it ends. I'm sort of there right now, stuck in between the same 4…

Get Out, Get Away, and Move forward. Life is short, now is the time to decide what your future will be, and make it happen. You deserve happiness, you deserve a person who cherishes you, and respects your differences of opinion, and is enthralled by your thought processes. Not a jack as that is berating, belittling,…

Can I join ? I hover between 199 and 205, and can't make that official change !!!!!!

Awesome !!!! You look wonderful.

OMG !!!! That's a touching and wonderful story !!! Keep up the great work, you can do ANYTHING !!!

I think it's hard for us to focus on who we are today, but I admire you !! I know that today, at 45 I am definitely not the same person I was at 25, and ya know what. I don't want to be that person that I was. I have a little mileage on me now, I have life experiences, I have things that will make me stronger in this quest…

Feel free to add me, I'm looking for some friends to help support me !!!! Thanks to all.

Congratulations ! That is so awesome !!! Great work, and isn't it awesome to be able to see how far you have come.

Well said.

I'm somewhat new here, and would certainly welcome anyone that wants to post and motivate me to add me as their friend. I try to check in at least every few days. I travel for work and sometimes it's not possible, but I try !!!! :)

Hi, Yes I had mine removed last month. In December I was diagnosed with enlarged thyroid, never on any medication prior to surgery. I went through the series of ultra sound, radiation uptake scan, and instead of biopsy my surgeon and I decided on removal. After 4 1/2 hour surgery 4 weeks ago, I seem to be doing well.…

Pittsburgh :smile:

Hi, I'm new here to posting, but my two cents what it's worth, echoes everyone elses. I'm doing P90X now, and I use 20 lbs for just about everything. There are a couple things I should up to 25 lbs, but haven't gone to buy them yet, so if I'm doing something that seems a little easy, I finish it, press pause, and sometimes…

Hi, I"m doing P90X now, day 56. I love it. Not having the success I hoped for, had a minor surgery in the middle, but it's all good. Feeling great and fit, and energized. GOOD LUCK !!!!

I am 45, and I too have difficulty losing weight. I've lost 25 lbs since January 1, that's good I suppose, that's with being strict, and doing P90X while watching diet.........but nothing in the last 3-4 weeks. It's annoying and frustrating, and I don't know what to do to change it. I have been researching and I agree with…

I like Gracious Pantry for good Clean Eating Recipes; and as many others mentioned Skinnytaste.
