Ahhh that was 25 years ago today. I was taking summer classes at night and had a test in business law that I couldn't miss. So I went to school like a good little girl.

I too have an underactive thyroid and don't really get hungry. I can tell I need to eat when my hands start shaking. I think it is important to get close to 1200 calories a day so I keep eating until I get there, even if I'm full. Peanut butter is a healthy food that will add calories fast. Also avocados. It has taken me…

Didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if it's been said, but you can order pb2 online from BellPlantation.com

To me the problem is obvious. You are 5' 8.5" and156 lbs. you don't need to lose any more weight. Your body is trying to tell you that.

I'm 5' 8" and an a size 4-6 at 145lbs at 140 my hip bones become way too prominent, and I look sick. I can't imagine going below 145 again.

Just added you.

Welcome to MFP! If you need a friend, feel free to add me. I could use more friends.

Wow! Sounds like my dad's twin. Except I was skinny, so I was told that I was ugly. My sister was really pretty, and I was always compared to her. It has taken a very long time in therapy to believe in myself enough to do this. I think the fact that I was teased for being too skinny has something to do with being…

Hi! Glad you're here. I have been watching my food since May 21 and have lost 23 pounds. I had a pita day before yesterday. You don't have to give up the things you love. Add me if you want.

Hi Lauren I'm Kathi. I would love to be your friend. I am not in a wheelchair but do have limited mobility and am trying to lose lots of weight without being able to exercise much. It can be done. Anyone can add me as a friend.

You need to smile.

This is hopefully my last try too. I finally realized nobody but me can make the change to being healthy. Anyone who wants to may friend me. I have some awesome friends already but can use some more. You can never have too many friends.

My boobs are the first place I gain and the last place I lose. After 15 years of begging, my husband has finally agreed to a reduction. I want to lose some first so I don't end up out of proportion in the other direction. But the last time I lost I was a DD at size 4-6 and I'm 5'8". I didn't have any more to lose except my…

Find a fresh produce market. They are usually way cheaper than wal-mart produce. I can get a whole weeks worth of veggies and salad fixin's for 8-10 dollars. I also make my own spaghetti sauce and freeze when tomatoes are in season. Have you thought about a garden to grow your own produce? I have fresh herb plants in my…

Age 45 (46 on June 30) 5'8" SW 258 CW 237 GW 145 Big build, am skinny at that weight.

I started out on May 21 at 258 needing to lose 113 pounds to get to my goal weight of 145. I have an under active thyroid so I knew this was going to be a long journey. I now weigh 237. Less than 1 month later. I eat tons of food, and the weight is just falling off. I only have 92 more pounds to go but would love to be…

How do you find out how much water you are supposed to drink per day. I'm new to this and there many things I don't know yet. I just pay attention to the color of my urine and if it is darker than lemonade I start guzzling water. I can down a 48 oz. bottle pretty easily and within an hour the color will change back to…

Muskogee, but I work in Checotah.

I am 5'8" and carry weight from head to toe I am very big busted. Post babies I went on Nutrisystem and lost down to 140. At that weight I was a size 5 and my friends teased me about being a starving Ethiopian. (like in the send help commercials) I looked very good in a bikini at 150. My goal is 145.

My mommy taught me: if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Nothing negative is going to help to motivate someone. Be nice people!

Grapes, apples, walnuts, celery, and plain yogurt instead of mayo.

I am fairly new also and have 96 more pounds to go. Anyone can add me. I need lots of support!

I tried it in January and February of this year. Within four weeks I felt AWFUL. I decided feeling bad was not worth it. Now I'm drinking protein and nutrition shakes and counting calories and not only do I feel great but the weight is coming off even faster. I hope it works for you, I really do, but it didn't for me.

Any fruit (especially avocados) Any vegetable (except eggplant) Beans (black are my favorite) I love healthy food! I just eat too much and can't exercise.

No. I do not exercise. I am in severe pain from the time I wake up in the morning until I go to sleep at night. Exercise is not even an option for me. But I have lost 17 pounds in the first 19 days on the program. And I'm not hungry. I'm sold.
