My husband moved to the United States from the Carribean to be with me. We're recently married and unbelievably happy. I would have moved there even, I would have moved anywhere to be with this man. If you are in love, if there is no other person for you, then do NOT be afraid to do what it takes to be with that person. Do…

I'm glad so many of you are having success with artificial sweeteners and stevia, I wish I was having success too, but my experience has unfortunately been much different. I'll share what I went through, just for a new point of view, but my problems are apparently rare. I was using splenda from October to early March this…

Honestly a big part of my change was that I found out I've been lactose intolerant my entire life. It turned out that once I cut out all dairy, including cheese, butter, and milk, it took an incredible amount of calories out of my diet. I also lost a lot of the health problems that were just my allergy that had been…

It's good to get a boost now and then. I began at 315 lbs, 5'8'' tall. I went travelling for business (to my horror barely fitting in the airplane s eat) and managed to make some small changes while out of the country. In the last year I have managed to lose 96 lbs, meet and marry my husband, return to the US and lose 30…

Hi! I struggled with this for a while. You will see it first in the way your clothes fit, but looking at yourself takes a while to really notice a change. I have lost 65, and I still have to question whether the scale is lying or if it's all in my head. Then I look at an old picture, and BAM, it hits me. You should check…

Wow!!! Amazing! You look incredible, you are truly an inspiration!

WOW! Great Job!! That's amazing. I wish now I hadn't been terrified of cameras before I began losing weight, lol, I'd love to have a few comparison shots. :)

I also wanted to say that this is the best description of weight loss I've ever heard! It actually made me feel a lot better, as I've been struggling with this too. I haven't been able to get on a scale because I've been traveling for business. I've been trying hard to lose weight though, I've been walking to work every…

yes! Awesome work!! Truly inspiring :smile:

I fully agree that if you have the calories it doesn't matter when you eat them. I guess my question is how much of your metabolism is related to "when" you eat? I wonder because I see people who eat every 2-3 hours lose weight and they say it's because it speeds the metabolism. If that's true, eating at night is probably…

Hello! My name is Hillary and I've been with my boyfriend for 6 years. We are both overweight, I need to lose 150 and he needs to lose 200 lbs. We were both overweight when we got together, but only slightly. It seems that bad habits and tendency to overeat really get worse together. At first it was probably awesome that…

great job on this! It takes a strong attitude for us to say "I'm going to do this, regardless. I'm going to do this for myself, no matter what." and then not let your partner's choices affect you.

Hello! My name is Hillary and I'm 22 years old. I need to lose 150 lbs total. I am absolutely sure and confident that I will do this, but I have no support in my life. Trying to overcome the bad feelings that come from supportless family members, and the feelings of despair that crop up when skinny friends make insensitive…

I hate this as well. I just try to share my happiness with other people who are in the same position as me and forget the others. 8 lbs is a huge accomplishment and you shouldn't let them bring you down!

When I cook for myself and my boyfriend one of our favorites is to put 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a frying pan with 1tbsp olive oil, then liberally coat with Cavendar's Greek seasoning. Then sometimes I also sprinkle on a few drops of wishbone italian dressing. You really don't need other seasoning, but…

I'm with you!! I just joined MFP today and I'm already loving it. I've been working on losing weight since last summer and it's been slow going. I've managed about 20 pounds, but I have 150 left to lose to reach my goal weight of 150. I travel for work and I'm currently living in the Philippines for business so it's easy…

Victories that are related to fitness but not weight? If that's the case, today I took off a pair of jeans that used to be tight without unbuttoning them :happy:
