sometimes when I post a reply it is does not go under where I intend. But to the gal whose mom makes comments about her weight, my heart goes out to you. I got stuck on same weight for short time and found I was eating under calorie as well. But not for as long as you did. Logging my calories and realizing I was keeping my…

this is so true

thank you for the info--I wondered about this subject a lot and this answered my question.

welcome!! feel free to add me,I love this site. Its helped so much!!

skinless chicken breast,produce produce produce, cottage cheese if you like it. I love a half cup low fat cottage cheese mixed with half c sliced pears in juice. I also have changed from white bread to Arnolds 100% wheat sandwich slims. 100 cal. I actually have been inspired to try ground turkey and veggieburgers but…

It seems like you have overcome so much more than weight. You look gorgeous and I am inspired!! Thank you for sharing!!!!! Feel free to add me as a friend.

I totally agree with everyone here. We have all been there--some of us several times-and it has helped me so much knowing that even if I "mess up" or gain weight back the point is not to win a single battle,but to win the war. By not giving up and getting back on that scale(I know how hard that is and how that feels)you…

Hi Katie, welcome! I have found so much support here,and logging in the food tracker plus water,has helped more than any other "diet" tool I have ever found. When I am feeling really munchie-especially in the evening,I will get my water,some veggies if I need it and sit down at the computer and get on mfp. I find so much…

feel free to add me as well. I have 75 lbs to lose and I have been on hundreds of diets. We can support each other

I also set mine at sedentary then manually add exercise

my husband bought it (if its the same thing) an online diet plan. It makes sense and I tried it,but too strict and expensive. I tried the health food bread from something other than wheat.But it went bad before I could use it all since everyone else in the family still used reg white bread. AND I was hungry all the…

I am also from Ohio-south east on the border of W V. Welcome

feel free to add me. I have 75 lbs to lose and I am down 14. The motivation and support here is amazing

love the pics,and very encouraging!! Helps me keep it up! Thanks

wow! makes sense,thank you

I have 75 lbs to lose and have lost 14 so far. I've struggled the last couple of days and think a smaller personal group would be ideal. Feel free to add me

You really are a beautiful girl. Before and After. But you really can see the difference,and I am so happy for you!!

wow! that sounds good. I have never heard of that. I love getting a recipe that can get through an event without"cheating" and it tasting different than what I have every other day.

congratulations!!!! The difference is amazing!

I'm also a newcomer and want as much support as I can,as well as hoping that I can help someone as well. Welcome!

feel free to add me

The more friends,the better

I'm Kathy from Ohio. I have very recently joined and have so much support from MFP I can't wait to get on and share with others. It helps so much Welcome! Love to have you as a friend

Hi Krista, I'm Kathy and I also recently joined. I have 75 lbs. To lose. Looking forward to having friends to motivate me as well as maybe helping someone else. I'm glad I don't have to do this journey alone.

I sure understand that. When my son was11 or 12 years old,he got into a fight trying to defend me because another kid called me fat. Then he said, "Mom I like you like you are even if you are big". I cried awhile. I have fought weight for a long time cause my son is now 27. Now my doctor says lose weight to help my asthma.…

best advice yet!! I believe I will take that myself. Thanks

wow, I am shocked to find other people that are in the same situation as I was for over 20 years. I gained soooo much weight. Although no situation is exactly alike,I am finding since I joined MFP that not only am I not alone,there are a LOT of people in a very similiar situation. My husband said he wanted to be…

I also just started and need to lose 70 lbs. hoping to make friends and get support and ideas.
