Happy early birthday and congrats on your weight loss!

I agree with this too. Please talk to a family member or friend.

I'm in the same boat, just turned 40 this year too, single and have three daughters. In the last month in a half I have lost about 15 lbs, 30 something since August. I was a sugar addict, had to have sweets every single day, had high blood pressure, headaches all the time. I would wake up feeling terrible. Then I read…

Try Enell sport bras. I saw them on Oprah a while ago and decided to give it a try, because I hated exercising with my DD's. They're on the expensive side compared to other bras, but definitely worth it to me.

One of my favorite poems... Don't Quit When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down, And you feel like the biggest failure in town. When you want to give up just because you gave in, and forget all about being healthy and thin. So What! You went over your calories a bit, It's your next move that counts...So don't…

For me it's mostly been cutting out processed food and some white carbs, except white rice. I'm half asian, so I can't get rid of my rice. :) But I have cut my portion of rice though and it has helped a lot. I haven't done a lot of exercise, but I'm hoping to start today at least doing 5 days a week of cardio.

WHEN I reach my goal of 10 lb's, I will...do a happy dance, it won't be pretty (I can't dance) but I'm doing it! :) Then maybe go get my nails done since I haven't had them done in over a year and then start on the next 10 lbs.

Don't forget the sodium. Most of the sauces are crazy high and you could eat your whole days worth with one meal! I had this problem a few weeks and and I had such a hard time, I ended up going with a plate of edamame no salt and an appetizer. The food was good and filling, I actually only had half of the edamame and was…

Anyone is welcome to add me as well! . :)

Wow, truly inspiring! Congrats to you both, you guys look great!

SW 11/1: 274 Good luck everyone!

Will hopefully go for at least one 60 minute hike this week and do at least 30 mins of cardio five of the other days. I've been pretty much eating 1200 to 1400 calories per day, so I just need to make sure I keep it up.

I'd like to join too! Please let us know if you create more teams.

I'm in too!

LOL, love this thread! I've lost a 2 year old and a rack of baby back ribs!

If you have an iphone I would recommend Lose Weight with Andrew Johnson, it's $2.99 for the app. It's not a bad price at all. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I noticed just today that the past 4 days I haven't craved any sweets, which is amazing for me. In fact I'm not even that hungry.

Mine was raw spinach. I absolutely love spinach and put it in everything, but that was until last week when I found out that raw spinach messes up the meds for Hypothyroidism. :-(

Love it! Thanks for sharing!

So my scale says that I didn't lose anything this week, but it's TOM this week and I'm hopeful that's why the scale hasn't changed. Usually it would show a gain by a couple lbs. Even though I didn't lose at much as I wanted, I'm still thankful I've lost something. So, I'm ending this weigh in at 274. Best wishes everyone!

Oops almost forgot to check in! Down 1 lb current weight 274. Hope everyone has a great week!

I would also love to know of any foods to help reduce BP. My last check up the doc said mine was slightly elevated again, this was the third doctor visit she said that so she prescribe me some meds. I haven't taken them, I'm hoping the same thing to reduce my BP through eating healthy and exercise.
-
LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one doing this. I'm actually having my daughters give up chocolate and soda for lent with me! I think I'm missing it already too! I am a total chocolate addict and know this will be a tough road ahead, but I think by having my family do it with me we'll help keep each other on track. Gosh I…

I think I have wonderful MFP friends! I feel so blessed and lucky that a good majority of them are very supportive. I'm hoping that I am able to share and motivate them as much as they do for me each and every day.
-
Welcome back to MFP! I did the same thing as you, when I used it a couple of years ago I did fine, but didn't stick with it. I think it had to do a lot with not using the forums or making MFP friends. At that time, I was only worried about counting calories and not realizing that we also need emotional support. It's so…

Feeling a little bad, like a let my partner down. :-( Only lost 1 lb. Current weight is 275. Didn't get to exercise much this week, had a a report to deal with. The only positive is that I was still able to lose a pound, I think it was due to watching my portion control. I didn't get to do my diary, but I will get that…

Cracked me up! :laugh:

I'd like to lose about 140 more pounds. Feel free to add me too!
