I eat six meals a day of approximately 200 calories each. A typical meal might be container of Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt (80 calories) with a packet of Crispgreen freeze-dried fruit (35-40 calories), and .25 cup of FiberOne cereal (30 calories) plus 1 TB nonfat dried milk as creamer in my coffee (20 calories) for a…

I have an open diary. Feel free to add me.

I’m a bit over two years out. Hit my low about a year ago and then gained about ten pounds back. Rather than trying to lose those ten pounds, I am instead just shooting to maintain this slightly higher weight since it is where my scale seems to want to settle. Rather than battling against my body, I plan to work with it.…

I also took Topamax. Had to quit that, too. Gave me word-finding problems (anomia). Wouldn't be a problem if I did ANYTHING else for a living; I'm an English teacher.

I took Vyvanse. It pushed my blood pressure up into the hypertensive range, so I had to quit it. Was a shame, too, because it was helping.

I have had one for about a year and a half, and I like it. If you like geeking out on data tracking, you'll enjoy it.

How about not worry about your weight or your workout right now and just get better. Just listen to your body and eat what you need and try to rest. Your body needs energy in order to heal itself. Don't starve it right now or push it too hard. You can get back to your routine once you are back on your feet. If that means…

So glad you joined us here. You're already making amazing progress! Keep it up :)

Do you get a before-bed snack as a part of your meal plan? I do, and it helps fight those nighttime munchies quite a bit. The snack can't be any old thing, though. It needs to be high protein, low sugar, low fat, and Maybe just 150-200 calories (depending on your intake the rest of the day). Typically, I'll have fat free…

I've been sticking my iPhone in my sports bra, but it bruises my boobs (and heavens knows that having a phone next to your boobs for an hour every day can't be good -- radiation, anyone?). I'm seriously thinking of getting a little shuffle.

Reesa, It sounds like our weightloss goals are similar. I'm trying to lose at least 160 (maybe 10 or 20 more than that...we'll see when I get there). I'm in Carney so not terribly far from you. If you ever want to meet up at Double Rock Park to hike the trails there, let me know!

Hi, Linda! I teach in Dundalk. If you ever want a walking buddy, let me know. We can make a few laps around the quarry or you can meet me at the CCBC campus and we can walk the loop around the college.

Looks like our starting weights were about the same and our ultimate goals are very similar. I understand how hard it is to be mobile when you're a big girl. I'm always up for being a walking/hiking buddy. Double Rock Park is a great place to get a workout. There is a two-mile hiking trail there can can really challenge…

I'm not far from you in Carney. Feel free to add me.

I'm also in Parkville/Carney (well, Carney, really). Feel free to add me. Good to know I have a "neighbor" here. :)

Hi! I live in Parkville/Carney and work in Dundalk. I'm from Texas originally but have been in Baltimore since 2005. I've been on my weightloss journey since January 2. As of today, I'm 65 lbs. down and have 95 lbs. to go to my ultimate goal. I'm a member of the Parkville Y and work out there regularly. I'm a hiker and…

To celebrate reaching a sixty-pound weight loss (meaning I still have 100 lbs. to lose), I took my first overnight backpacking trip just a few weeks ago. I spent months researching and collecting the gear I needed, and I'd been doing progressively longer day hikes. I have to say that the overnight trip taught me some real…

Go you! I'm shooting for 160 lbs. myself. I've still got 100 lbs. to go. Thanks for the inspiration!
