I liked this link..i reached my first goal but struggling to get back on track..had foot surgery with pins in toes for 3 more eeeks, no exercise with foot..gonna use bands tomorrow and journal..

Well, ots Feb. 2nd and even tho one month behind need to do One Day At Time..having gained 28 lbs. Since July. I journaled today and went over, but glad I did..Hope others continue in Feb!

Such a heartfelt journey that is appreciated! So many will be affected and inspired especially since you are limited on exercise! Your reasons for pushing through are real and your girls will have time to enjoy their dad..Bless you!

You can add me...struggling to maintain but not over goal..

I had reached my first goal, relaxed and then gained 6 back..now am setting to lose my lastx15..your story encouraged me to reach my final goal..thank you!!

I hope this works for my Before and After picture. I started in December 2013, took off 56 pounds in that year, and another14. Started at 242, now I weigh 172[img]http://cd8ba0b44a15c10065fd-I am 64 years old so really exercised a lot to get results...doing water aerobics 4 times a week...Feel so much…

It is hard to lose after delivery, you look totally transformed, Congratulations!

Knowing I've inspired just one person is thrilling for me and thank you all for your kind words~

From 2012 to 2013 I hit a low point in my life after caring for my ailing dad and fell into eating my emotions. I became a diabetic and that was a red flag for me. In October of 2013 joined the group T.O.P.S. (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly)for support and logged on with MFP. I actually gained another 21 pounds during…

I read your story and could really relate. My grandmother was diabetic and passed in her 60's. In 2004 I topped out on my weight and was feeling really tired and found out I had become a diabetic. It wasn't until 2008 that the light bulb went on. My cousin who I was very close to had a triple bypass operation due to her…

Hi, I'm a little over 60 and need more Friends that are active and engage...I have a few but Always Welcome more...Vickie Zureich

I like your post a lot because you focused on where it brought you in your decision to better health. That is really all I care about. I am halfway there, but actually about 40 or so more because I lost in 2008 which when I'm done will be around 98:smooched: ...I do want my BMI to be Normal for once! Thank you for sharing…

Rachel not only looked unhealthy, she looked annorexic and it really aged her face...She had deep wrinkles and she is very young. I agree....its Crazy~

I can definitely see your weight Loss, my goodness 100 pounds is absolutely fantastic, and you are doing it the healthy way and still coming up with big numbers~ Seeing success stories like yours gives me the motivation I need to someday post. Thank You Very Much~

I am trying to track daily as well...I restarted a few weeks ago and the weight loss so far is 9.5...you are doing so awesome with such a huge loss...inspiring me to keep it up! I would like more friends too...

Your story gives the rest of us so much encouragement as we journey on to a healthier lifestyle with its ups and downs!! You look and sound amazing!

You just wrap it in foil and cook for about an hour;but it depends on the size...If you choose to microwave, I put it on a paper towel and be sure to put a few fork holes in it first and cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on size of potato...Hope it helps!

Wow, you are truly an inspiration. You look so confident and happy~ Nice photo.

Hi Kim, I was on my way to turn in for the night and read your post and know I could not sleep unless I shared a little:happy: In 08 I was where you are at and within 6 months lost close to 80 pounds...well, both my parents became ill and I was the caretaker and proceeded to gain 30 pounds back. I was told by my doctor…

I did the same thing last Tuesday and the first day was killer, but I put a pouch of green tea in a tall traveling plastic container with ice and water and sipped throughout the day. In the morning i am allowing 2-4 cups of coffee only...believe it or not, I now do not miss the soda because as a result of not having the…

Congrats on your results and new lease on your life and health!! You have every reason to be proud and confident, it's hard work losing, the key is maintaining...

Hi All, I am just starting up again after I had done well and lost 32 pounds by Oct. 2013. I have gained back 15 pounds and feel now is not a good time to start up again just before Easter, but know that if I don't track I will gain it All back...I don't know if anyone else is interested in being my friend on here, but I…

I really want to join this group and need the added support;how do I join?

I am sure it will be cookies;going to a cookie exchange in a few weeks;also Mexican food as I cook it regularly...trying to curb my portions now so when they hit will be prepared and can enjoy a little...right now gained some during Thanksgiving, so working to get it off..

It depends what time the wedding is...my favorite is the black and if it is a late afternoon going into evening, it is appropriate...you can add a little color with jewelry...It gives you more curves;that is just my opinion....For early afternoon the goldish one is very elegant....ultimately it is what you feel most…

A size 14 lose, I am currently in a 16 tight...gonna do it!:happy:

I was encouraged to see this group up;I am 61 years old and although it is taking me longer to lose at my age;I plan to keep it up until I reach my goal...going on vacation this week so will have to be extra careful...I will be more conscious of it now that I have joined this group..Celebrating our 40th anniversary and we…

I understand exactly where you are coming from...My husband has lost lots of weight many times on Weight Watchers but always gains it all back...why, not enough exercise and since their products are laden with sugar! My daughter and I have switched and are on a whole grain and no sugar and as least amount of salt as…

Hi, Yes, I totally agree...I am reading a book with this subject in mind called "10 Lessons from a Former Fat Girl" a contestant on the Biggest Loser shares how she got stronger on the inside which projects on the outside....it is very, very helpful...

Hi Rare Jewel, I love your name first of all!! I was a 13/14 in 09 and gained some weight back, but now I am on the losing end and back down to a size 16. My goal is to get to a size 12 so I feel ya....which I am not sure on the weight at this point. You look great and I think your hips are in proportion to your body....My…
