I though I would be able to edit this today but it doesn't look like it so I'll have to do it this way

Hi, I'm back here years later to try again :D I'm 52 and 5'3" with 100lbs to lose total August Start Weight: August Goal Weight: Ultimate Goal Weight: 154 August 1: August 8: August 15: August 22: August 28: August 31:

Hi, I'm 52 and same here......have been here before and am starting again :p I am Type 1 diabetic and wear a Dexcom Continuous Glucose monitor so at least it's nice to see my bs's at a glance. My workouts are hit and miss right now and it is so blooming hot it's all I can do to even get out of bed :D I work 10-12 hrs a day…

So question @ksutter70 Is your diary public or just to friends? Because I used to use mfp on my laptop and could view a lot of people's Diaries but now I've downloaded the app and I'm using it on my phone and it says everyone's is private. It says yours is private too

Yes please...gettting back on the wagon tomorrow!! Diary will be open

Amazing! Can you tell me what your calories were at the beginning that got you started losing. When I do the calculators I get results ranging from 1100 to 1700

Thanks Leslie.....great job today! Nice quiet birthday and I asked dh not to get a cake......so I did really good today. Craving popcorn right now though....ughhh

Thanks everyone. Do you guys have a weekly weigh in day or do we all just do our own. So far mine is Mondays. Scared for tomorrow.....af is looming over.

Hi, I'm Leah, 43........well........44 on Monday, I can't believe it. Wanting to lose 90-100 lbs. I'm going to the gym mon-fri doing the elliptical and weights because it's the easiest thing on my horrible knees. Just started having knee problems the last year and am getting desperate to get this weight off and feel…

Go for it if it will make you feel better but just remember it will probably happen again if you're that prone to it. I've been on the pump for 8 years and it's way better but 90% of the time I use my hips and butt for that reason. I know some people that even put their site in their boobs.....owww. You can finance a pump…

Well I haven't lost much yet but I'm doing the same thing I did before when I lost 80lbs.......... it's easiest for me to eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch, then I don't have to spend time thinking about it and figuring out calories when I'm busiest. I have to pieces of high protein toast w/cheese slices for…

Good for you 'seltzermint'........you do not look like 208!!

I would love to join. I've been a member for over a year of MFP but am trying again. I feel very motivated this time - first family vacation in 13 years next summer. And most of the friends I had gained haven't been on in a very long time so I'm really starting over alone. Leah

Hi all, I'd love to join this thread. I pretty well have exactly 100lbs I'd like to lose. My exercise program is starting off slow because I want to start to enjoy it rather than hate it after 3 days lol. So I've been doing around 20-25 mins on elliptical and 20 mins of weight training. My husband's going away for the…

Wow that's good Janice........don't know if I could've done that :ohwell:

Had a cup of milky hot Earl Grey Tea instead of a piece of pizza staring at me from the fridge!!!!!

Wow......what a success!!! Great job girl!

You can add me too :-) I've been off this board in what feels like forever, so I'm basically starting over. I'm going to keep my carbs to between 70-100 g/day and hopefully it will work. Looking forward to swapping good recipes and finding support in staying away from the bread and pasta........I'm not a big 'sweet' tooth…

Wow.....incredible job!!! Do you eat any meat or is it vegan you've switched to? Leah

I'm 42 as well as Type 1 diabetic and it is a totally different story for me than it was 10 years ago. It seems the big thing on here that people are saying is cut back the carbs......especially late afternoon and evening. I am going to try that and hopefully see a difference.

I don't log regular housecleaning like vacuuming, dusting, toilets etc. but I will log as exercise if it's a an extra super cleaning day like scrubbing the deck, cleaning the windws etc. Gardening of course, cause that feels like the hardest cardio I can do - lol.

No......I just mean running as a main form of cardio.

wow BigMech............good for you. Running at 360lbs and now 15 miles a day. That's insane. Your wife and son must be soooooooo incredibly proud of you.

philsykes.........ha ha......I'd love to take me dog, but he's so insane and crazy, he'd trip me and I'd end up falling on my face. He only goes to open dog parks - lol. Every day I get closer and closer to that first step........I don't know why it's so hard for me.

jers43...........yeah, I've heard outside is better for your muscles etc. because of the natural changes in the terrain. We're in a rural area so the blocks around here are pretty big since everyone is on at least an acre, so it would definitely be a good start. Thx.

kylejh.......well that's a pretty good walking pace. An hour on the elliptical, omg. Good for you on your weight loss.........you're almost at goal :-)

oxoxo.........do you run outdoors on a treadmill. I have had my poor husband buy and then get rid of sooooooo many treadmills I don't think he'll get me another one - lol. So I might have to prove myself by running outside first, but I find that intimidating.

Thanks Vickey and good for you for reaching your goal weight, no matter what it is :-) That's what I've noticed.....they seem to lose it a lot faster. I need to invest in a pair of shoes. I wish my son was better on his bike so he could come with me - it would open my schedule up a lot more, but he's still on training…

Do you means October ,2011..........like 7 months ago?????? Wow, girl, way to go. Your post is truly what I needed to see this morning. Leah

Well can't say that a success story yet - lol - but I'm 5'4" and started at 229.4. I'm down to 223.8 with A LOT of set backs. My goal is 125-135. That's where I've felt the most comfortable before. Leah
