Hi! I will add you. I have been here around a month and have lost 11lbs. I have 73 more pounds to go, so we are about in the same boat.

So many bad things are said about marriage, but there are good ones - I have a great marriage. It will be difficult at first(at least mine was!), stick it out, eventually you will learn what makes each other tick and it will all be worth it.

Weigh yourself in the morning before getting dressed. I have had up to a 3 lb difference depending on what time of day I weigh myself. Are you measuring your food? I found that I was way off on my estimates of portions, so I started measuring my food and it has helped. Also, I agree with the others, it could definitely be…

I've never heard of this. I think I would go to my general doctor and talk to him. I would get a second opinion just to be safe.

Thank you so much for posting your pictures. You look amazing and are such an inspiration to me! I have 84 lbs to loose, have lost 9 so far.

You look great and you certainly don't look 44! You look like you are in your 20s!

A couple weeks ago I realized that what I have been is a glutton. Psalms 23:20-21 says "Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat, for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags." So that is helping me a lot right now. Feel free to add me as a friend!

I've had the same problem after doing the 30 Day Shred. It is shin splints (they hurt like crazy don't they?). I have been letting mine heal before I start back up. But these exercises should take care of the problem. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-treat-and-prevent-shin-splints.html

I don't want to be skinny and I don't want to look muscular either. I used to be skinny in college and I was very sick and exhausted. As someone posted above, I want to be curvy and sexy. That being said, I have been eating healthy for a month now and I ate a piece of pizza last night and it just didn't taste like it used…

Yep, me too. But, I'm going down now so I feel a little better. He is 6 ft. and 225 (was 180 when we met 20 years ago) and I am 5'5" and was 227 at my heaviest. It was mortified! I'm down to 220 now. I was 128 when we met, but I was exhausted and malnutritioned and felt like crap. I want to get down to 140-150.

That's great. I ate bad two days last weekend and gained 2 lbs!

I have had to take a rest from exercise for a few days because of shin splints. Wow! They are painful! I will give the exercises a try. Hope you heal up fast!

Are you measuring your food? I find I really underestimate how much I am eating and need to measure to get an accurate calorie count.

I have a friend who runs and she just lost her toe nail. She said it is common. I say "ouch"!

Great job! I have 74 lbs to loose, so it is very inspiring to see your post here. I hope I look as good as you at 194! You look awesome!

This is my favorite too! Hummus has to be roasted red pepper or cracked pepper.

I am just starting at 224 here on mfp, but I was 227. I'm looking to loose 50 lbs initially, then another 24 after that. Feel free to add me!

I'm new here too, I have 50 lbs to loose. Feel free to add me!

Hi am 40 and need to loose 50lbs. Its hard to find the time to exercise with 3 kids, a job, and working on my master's degree, but I'm determined to succeed!

I'm new here too. You can add me!

You look awesome! You are such an inspiration. I am just starting on my journey to loose 50 lbs.
