  • Went to the eye doctor and all signs of diabetes are out of my eyes!! Much faster than they expected too. Been really dedicated to a low carb diet but not seeing much difference on the scale. This NSV was much needed!
  • An entire jar of caramel ice cream topping with a spoon, weekly almost! Scary thing is that even making huge progress (lost 40 lbs before joining MFP) and knowing how wrong it is, I could totally do it again. ugh!!
  • That I won the lottery and can finally quit work so I have time to focus on myself, my family and our property.
  • In understand what you're going through. I'm diabetic and had to give up almost all bread to help control it. And I love bread!! Nature's Own has a sugar free whole wheat bread that's actually pretty good. Doesn't taste like sandpaper like so many do. So far I've only found it at Walmart.
  • Someone on MFP posted a comment that has helped me tremendously with this same issue. Eat only clean foods when snacking. Her example was eating 800 calories worth of apples is difficult to do because clean foods make you feel full. Eating 800 calories of pizza or brownies can be done very quickly because it doesn't make…
  • I'm 43 am 6'1 and I have 60+ to lose. Feel free to add me!
  • Lane Bryant has a new line of sports bras that have formed cups so it doesn't look like you have a sports bra on. And they work!! My daughter and I both love how comfortable they are. They have padded straps with 8 different links to adjust the strap length. Definitely try them on at the store though, they're a different…
  • I'm 42 and log in almost every day. Feel free to send me a request.
  • If you like tuna Starkist has "tuna creations" pouches in different flavors that average 100 calories. I eat one of those and half an avocado for lunch and it will keep me full for most of the afternoon.
  • Your post had me curious too so I looked it up and cardio kickboxing is described as an overall workout of physical toning and conditioning. A boot camp workout is a whole-body workout that builds strength and endurance. So I would say there is some strength training involved in both, especially boot camp. Most important…
  • It's fantastic to see all the tall girls on this site! I'm 6'1" and 243.2, goal weight is 175. I lost 40 lbs several years ago and thankfully kept all but 5 lbs off. Had some health issues to fix but now I'm getting back on track and ready to get some weight off!! Add me as a friend please, the more support the better.…
  • Wow, you look amazing! Awesome job! Definitely and inspiration to me and hopefully many others. Something you said really hit home with me...the person in the picture was not how you felt you looked. Me too! I am always surprised by how I look in pictures since that's not what I see everyday in the mirror. Definitely and…
  • Welcome to MFP! Admitting you need help and asking for it can be very difficult. Congrats on taking the first big step in your weight loss journey!! It sounds like you're aware of at least some of your health issues but your lack of energy and falling asleep all the time really got my attention. I have always been a high…
  • I'm totally going to check this out when I get home tonight. I'll preview first of course but I'm thinking this might be a good site for my pre-teen daughter to look at so she'll quit trying to be "like all the other girls" in her school. She's 11, 5'8 with a very strong stocky build, it's hard for her to understand why…
  • I'm in! I'm starting tonight!!
  • If you have allergies or sinus problems make sure you take allergy medicine at night. I had the same problem then one night my allergies were so bad I had to take something - woke up after 7 hours feeling great. I read an article later that if you're having to breath through your mouth you're not taking in enough oxygen…
