my husband passed away last year and I was left dealing with depression and anxiety. My weight spiked at 220! A friend recommended we join a gym....Yea....That was the last thing I wanted to do. I was fat, grieving and depressed!!!! But she dragged my butt to the gym every day. started on the treadmill slowly for only 8…

I was put on lithium and gained almost 80 pounds. I demanded they find something else ...and they did. BUT it has taken me three years to lose the weight...Best of luck I know this is a hard struggle.

I thought the same thing. I do an hour of cardio EVERY day with 30 min of weight resistance machines. I did not think I was ever going to lose my belly......then one day I tried on a pair of jeans and realized I had a flat stomach!!!! I almost cried in the dressing room...it seemed like it just happened over night all…

Im stronger both physically and emotionally.

I am trying to maintain.. (although still losing) It has definitely become a way of life and I love that my fitbit and MFP talk to each other and keep me honest! I will continue to use the healthy habits (logging, weighing and measuring foods) as long as I can.

I have lost over 100 pounds, and do fear of being to skinny, but I am right in the middle of my "normal" range so I am working on increase lean tissue and decreasing body fat percentages more than weight loss..

65 minutes every day....then 30-40 min of weights.

I need some help / encouragement. I have lost 100 pounds now. My original goal was 145 set by my Doc (im only 5'3) when I met that I dropped it to 135....then I hit 125...today Im 118! I am not actively trying to lose weight. I am ok with 118 - 120, but I dont want to go any lower. I know its strange but I love to work…

I ALWAYS get the ultimate grilled chicken sandwich....love it!

I have used both and prefer the fit bit. It is smaller and easier to conceal under clothing so you can really wear it 24/7. I also like the fact there is no monthly charge and it is linked to MFP. I do not use a HRM

I would not tolerate it either, and I agree that what he is doing is legally and morally wrong.......on the other hand his drinking and lack of respect may be due to depression. moving back in with his family is hard on a man, especially for financial reasons. he may feel like he has failed you, and is embarrassed. either…

Count me in starting weight (today 153.8 Christmas 133!

My goal weight is 135-140. I am 5'3. my starting weight was 206. and I'm now 154#s. I am GOING to make it to my goal. I am determined to reach it, and I can visualize myself maintaining that weight if I stay focused. You can do anything you want to do.

I have one square of dark chocolate every night at bedtime. helps with the chocolate cravings because I have a 'special ' treat. also good for your heart

Yes, I love mine, and wear it every day all day long. Even when I think I have had a 'good day' my fit bit may tell me otherwise and I need to get out for a walk to get my steps in. I love the fact that it works with MFP. a major decision on why I gave up my body media membership. I no longer have to log all of my…

I'm 5'3'' and 160.3 pounds now. I started at 204. I noted the 0.3 extra pounds because that is how slowly I seem to be losing now. several tenths of a point at a time. SOOOO frustrating. My goal is 135 . I know I have to up my efforts to keep losing the weight, but I seem to struggle with motivation. I need some support…

very interesting.........not sure it made me feel any better
