Please add me too. I read every word of your struggles and your pain. I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. She loved you dearly. You can do this journey with me. You are a true survivor. I'm so thankful for my MFP friends. I could have never stuck to this without them. It has been almost a year this November and trust…

I tried to bump this but it wouldn't let me. It said I wasn't a member? So I am bumping your message. But I wonder what group that I have to belong to?

Sweet baby in your pic! But I don't thing he would weight that much! :wink:

Melaniesilver: Ms Sympha01 has some very sound advise! I follow her guide lines as closely as I can and it works. I carefully measure my foods. At 185 pounds I was eating only 1,200 calories per day. I couldn't keep to that strict count and everyday I went over. After I got stuck at 175 pounds for 3 weeks I reset my…

Can I explain something to you? Being a mother myself, I can not focus on my weight with so many other things that are bogging me down. My kids do nothing for me in the house unless I complain and complain and complain and nag and nag and nag. So, after all that, I do it myself because I'm tired of hearing myself complain…

You look great Marti! Happy that you has a nice vacation. You deserved it after all the work you have done in your weight loss! I showed my family today your pics and they were amazed. : ) You have more happy days ahead.

My personal experience for July 4th weekend. I thought it was the damn beef hotdog and toastito chips (I've found that I'm salt sensitive ) But it might have been the apple pie moonshine. All of these selections were carefully added into my calorie count. I gained 2.6 pounds by Monday after weigh in. I realize that isn't…

My dad is 95 years old and he knows what the heck time it is. He knows that is going to hurt your feelings or not. They might be unknowingly uncaring and not one person has spoken up to them and told them so. If people are rude, you have to tell them why and leave. Explain why you are leaving and come back and see if they…

Well. They probably do not realize it bothers you. I would rather hear my children be honest with me and let it hurt my feelings (for a minute) than them just not liking me for an unknown reason. Speak up. Just tell them you would like them to stop. And every time they start talking the "negitive nancy talk" say.....…

I saw your pic, and you look amazing! I was reading somewhere that you can never get back to your high school weight and I thought that was flipping crazy! And look at you, you made it! How would I celebrate? EAT YOUR CAKES YOU BAKE! I don't now how you could loose a pound w/yummy cakes around. I would be licking the…

****** I have the stress part down, the menonpause, the age thing is close and of course I'm out of shape. I don't have the time to work out as much as you but you can add me if you want a support person. As for accountability, you may need to find that inside of you. Somehow, I have a hard time with that myself. I can…

Great job! YOU are doing fantastic!

You are so beautiful and blessed that you found your true self! Congrats! How sad it would have been for you not to be here to share your story and inspire others. Just helping one person leave an abusive person would be worth it. I was too w/an over bearing abusive person and your feelings are so on point! Also, thank you…

Uncomfortable about opening your diary? Just so you know, its not just the calories that you input into your body. High fat and salt will make you retain water and weight for weeks. How much salt do you eat a day?
-
I like your shoes.

Great job! So inspiring. Never stop believing in yourself. MFP and Fitbit do work!

Probotics !!!! Its a capsule that you take, found at the pharmacy,. It worked for a client that I work with and he is fine now. Good luck!

Ah yes, my 94 year old dad didn't notice!!!!! I had to show him my before gross underwear and tee shirt pic before he realized! LOL I guess too many TV shows of John Wayne, Cleveland Indians, Bonanza, I Love Lucy, and the one where you got that town and Miss Kitty is at the bar with Festis and Matt Dillin, Murder She…

I went 28 days with out loosing a pound bec of salt. When i cut it down, it dropped after 5 days. You might want to try it before you spend a lot of money on doctor's tests. Those can be expensive. Just saying. Also, I had the same conversation with my my best friend, she was NOT too happy with me either but she noticed a…

Here is one more thing you might want to research in you diary. Do you have a Family History of heart problems? I have found that I am salt sensitive after using MFP. USDA-United States Department of Agriculture recommends 2,000 grams of salt per day. That is way too high for anyone for Americans to be heart healthy. The…

All these pics are great! What I especially love about the pics, how it brings out a new outgoing person. The confidence just beams!

Have you thought about joining the YMCA? Our Y has machines for people that are specifically for physical therapy. I was amazed how nifty that the machines worked. And there are always people on them every time I go in, so I'm guessing they must work pretty well. However, I'm not sure if all the Y's have them. I wish I…

What an adorable, strong couple you are! You did it together! You will have a long and happy life together. YOU both look amazing! Thank you for posting! It truly helps inspire!

Crap! That isn't a good thing at all! Why do you think that they are paying less attention?

I think you look great at 165! However, maybe the doctor is thinking you bump up and down 5 pounds during maintenance. Are you ok with a bounce of 165 to 170? Or are you ok with a bounce of 160-165? I can eat a pizza and water weight will throw me in a tale spin of 3-5 pounds of water weight and it takes 5 days to unload…

Sounds like you have made many changes already. Great going! Stay the course and keep logging. Its a long journey. Good luck!
