Well Im 5'6", 255, and that is the very obese range. I hate that word, but its true. My story is this. I joined MFP, and mostly and mainly because of good tracking I lost 15 pound in three months. Then I stopped tracking and it all came back. Exercise is hugely important, but it is that tracking that helps you keep it…

Great job! What an inspiration!

I finally got the courage to go back to school to get my Bachelors after sitting on a worthless AA degree for 25 years. Two dean's lists later I am slated to graduate in Spring. I didn't have a "job" in mind, as in "What are you going to do with it?" (Uhhh, hand it on my wall and admire it?") But now I know I want to write…

Lool Newjack. What I hate is when all the older Asian ladies come in and they are WAY fitter than me! Then they do the Jacuzzi nekkid...where do I put my eyes????

I donteat corn or corn products like tortilla chips,i do have wheat inwhole grain bread and soysauce, but I neverhave pasta now either.

I shoot for net 1500 and no way lose two a wee more like one. But u factor in your height and build and musculature as well as exercise ad activity. I a five six but built like a viking. Extra wide shoulders still lots of muscle which burns more calories. If you have a petite build without lots of muscle and are relatively…

Thanks! If truth is known, the bra extender was put away a few months ago I almost forgot about it.

I am personally awarding you 1000 bonus calories for hazard pay! PS I learned to merge when my brother rolled his eyes and said "Just try and catch up with that car in front of you!" He was so calm, years later we are on a road trip in Cal., Im driving,hes napping. As I got into the hills there are fire crews on both sides…

I have arthritis and discovered eliminating nightshade family plants (which are inflammatory) helped flare ups. But I miss tomatos, bell peppers and potatoes...especially since I love New Orleans cooking.

Thx!

Yes its good! Welcome! If u want to mess with another site,MFP wont be jealous and break up with you. If u do let us know how u like it

Super great job! My arthritis bad so exercise hurts but always helps pain if that makes sense.

Slowly...but surely. I am 20 pounds lighter than last summer, but have made it a top priority to have a baseline 30 mins exervise each day and moved my calorie goal from 1800 to 1500. My new weighxt target loss is the next 8 pounds. This will move me off pre-diabetic status. I only set small goals, normally 5

This is a great place to get support. Feel free to add me!

Its kind of wierd we share this with UK. If Americans lose more will the world tip toward UK? You can frienowl.me if u like. I live in Seattle kind of a night iwl.

First, to add friend, touch or click profile picture then you will see add friend button. My advice is to set a goal for 5 pounds. Then Google "photo of five pound of fat". Everytime you lose five, look at that picture. Or if you are creative, make playdough (only 3 ingedients plus yellow food coloring, and use the picture…

Ummmm....Bootsie Long Gravel Road?

I miss my wine too, but lay off the spinach you look a little green in your picture!

Your liver needs to work properly for normal biological functions, if its sleeping your body wont work normally, if is recovering from too much alchohol it wont be efficient. Save yr drinking for a weekend night.

Me too! Friend me?

How do you get that scale picture that shows what u lost?

I know, just shows being overweight goes to all ages.

Good luck!

Hi all! Born in 57, bad arthritis, pre diabetic. Worked 16 weeks to lose 10. Now I can say 100#. Such a big number. But I am 20 pound less then 18 months ago. So I have recently decided that I only need to lose 5. That I can do. Google "photo of five pounds of fat" and you will be proud of every 5 pounds! So wish me luck…

Hhhhaaaa, right? I am lucky I dont break when I stretch, fall when I walk. These pple dont have arthritis!

If u are young I hear one in 5 relationships start online. But I tried the over 40 sites....all 40 plusses want twenty somethings...no matter how balding pudgy, uneducated or poor. My advice DO NOT reply to the freetrial (usually lowest rank in site). They are SOO Cheap dont want to go anywhere (that would cost money) and…

Stretching/yoga. Then a brisk walk. wear tennis shoes to work, park FAR awaym put your dress shoes on inthe office!

My doctors scale I thought was five pounds over, then realized I weigh less in the morning :-). Take it five pounds at a time. If you dont think five pounds is a lot Google a photo of five pounds of fat. I am thinking of buying yellow playdough in bulk and adding the equivalent of five # of fat everytime I lose another 5.…

If u do lots of strength u need extra protein, ditto for sports and demanding workouts or physical jobs. Over 30 you may want to cut down on dairy protein, but every body different. Get a vitamin panel done when u go to drs, I get one 3x a year cuz my D gets low easily. Its a cheap test, your doc wont mind, and its great…
