SW: 228 CW: 220 GW (for this challenge): 200 Ultimate GW: 140 May 30:220.4 June 6: 220.6 June 13:216.8 I attribute the lost pounds due to lots of water this past week. I have been very lazy in logging my food intake and even lazier with actually doing exercise. I have found that getting back to my crafting has helped get…

I start WW on June 22nd through my workplace. I've lost 11 pounds since April 22, 2016 just by using MFP for accountability. I'm so lazy! I know I could get up and move but I don't! There is a full gym (free for me) at my office. I really don't know what is wrong with me! If nothing else I could ride the stationary bike or…

21.6 until 199! Plan to hit this milestone by August 15th and celebrate with a full body massage! ;)

Corey477 welcome to MFP! I hope you get the help you are requesting! Hang in there! It didn't happen overnight and it wont get better overnight! Baby steps! You didn't mention your age/height/weight. If you have some weight to get rid of MFP is awesome at helping you plan your meals so that you can adjust before you eat…

I would like to join as well. I am excited to be dropping the weight but honestly more excited about feeling better and being more active. I'm already learning that accountability is key for me!
-
Congratulations on stopping soda! I also stopped soda cold turkey on April 25th. At least 2 of the 20 oz bottles of Mello Yellow daily. Didn't replace it with diet soda either. It's hard but after 3 weeks my severe reflux is also pretty much gone! I had a doctors appointment on April 22nd. I had blood work drawn the week…

Great news! Congratulations!:drinker:

Love to hear that! The stones are great for cooking everything! I would not know how to cook without them! I even take them on vacation!
-
We love homemade pizza and generally make one every Friday night. All the recipe suggestions look great and I can't wait to try some of them. We usually use Pillsbury and they have a couple different kinds. I see everyone talking about using a stone. I sell Pampered Chef and have been using stoneware (for everything) since…
-
I know that felt good! Keep it up!
-
That's great! Pounds are one thing because you can't always "see" them but when you buy smaller clothes or you don't struggle to get what you have buttoned or zipped....THAT is progress! Happy for you! Keep it up! My motto is "I need to loose 10 pounds....8 times!" Sounds better than 80!
-
So glad to hear this! Isn't it amazing how simply paying attention to what you are doing (or not doing) can make such a dramatic change in your life! Love MFP for the inspiration I get from stories like yours! I had my blood work done on Friday and go today for results. My A1c was elevated last visit so the doctor gave me…

Seems like we are all on the same boat! On your food diary you should add sodium and fiber and track those. I agree about the processed meats and salted nuts. I am going crazy myself trying to find better things to eat. That being said it does take time and money to eat healthy and what works for one may not work for you.…
-
Good point made in earlier post about adding food before you eat. At least until you have been on MFP a good while. I constantly add and take away before I eat until I get the calorie combo that I need. I lost weight on WW and it was easy. Just not a big fan of the once a week meetings and the fees. I might need support at…
-
Wow! Sure needed to hear your story today! Your journey inspires me here in the beginning of mine! I might have missed it in your story but what exercise did you do? I started at a similar weight and looking at your after pictures you really don't seem like you have a lot of loose skin. Sorry. That is a personal thing to…

I have not been checking my blood sugar. I think when I go back to the doctor on May 1st I will see what my latest results are and decide then what I need to do. If no better, she said she would put me on pills for the diabetes. All I can say right now is that I feel so much better! For about 7-10 days after starting my…
-
That is great! I probably would have cried! Isn't this so much fun? I mean you have bad days but the good ones are so good! Keep it up!
-
You look great! Love that you said you are now using food as fuel not for comfort! I catch myself eating because it is time to eat not because I am hungry! Lots of times I figure I better eat because later I might be hungry. Thinking hard about that I have realized if I eat a little or don't eat because I am not hungry I…

Please add me! Got the DVD and weights yesterday. So out of shape but going to try!
-
Great news! I started this weight loss/healthly lifestyle program mid March when I got a bad result on the A1c. Doc gave me until May 1 to loose 10 pounds and work on my eating/exercise habits. If not better she said I would have to go on oral meds. I actually can't wait to get to her office and see how I have done! I love…
-
Afraid to ask but....what is the 30 Day Shred? Can someone totally out of shape do it? (that would be me) My walking buddies are not reliable (well neither am I) because we all have so much going on from the time our feet hit the floor in the morning! I have been pretty accountable to MFP so maybe joining this group I will…
-
So glad you thought enough of all of us to share your story! Your story will help many..including me! Funny thing is that I let MFP hold me accountable when my co-workers and family are continuing to make bad choices right in front of me! MFP might just be a website but it might as well be a personal trainer with a whip! I…
-
Thanks! This is all new to me! I know about calories. I know about fat grams & fiber. The rest....I have no clue! Going to keep on keeping on!
-
Relax! This is a wake up call! Same thing just happened to me. (I am a 47 y/o female, married with a 16 year old daughter. I work full time in law enforcement and I also sell Pampered Chef) I had a bad result on the A1c blood test. My doctor gave me 6 weeks to loose 10 pounds and stop drinking high sugar soft drinks! I…
-
WOW! Amazing! Share your secrets! Keep it up!
-
My motto is that I did not put it on quick so it is probably not going to come off quick. Just hang in there and do not be discouraged! You have lost 24 pounds! I can't wait to get to that point! Keep up the great work....hey I messed up today. Proves I have no will power when not with someone else! Drove through Arby's…
