i joined years ago, and lost weight. However, I stopped using MFP and stopped caring and gained it all back, plus some! my highest 335 - currently close to 325. i am a high school counselor with 2 grown kids. Been divorced 19 years and need some support to get the weight off and feel better. Friends with similar struggles…

I have similar issues in that sometimes I can eat something and seems to have no ill effect, but then after a few times the headaches and itchy skin and brain fog and joint pain hit. I have had the stomach "anxiety" feeling for many years. I always thought it was because "something was going to happen - I was excited,…

I was diagnosed with celiac 2 years ago. My symptoms were not stomach ones, but headaches, itchy skin, and feeling very tired and very stiff (sore joints). I lost 50+ pounds and ate GF and felt so much better - BUT then depression, issues with kids, etc and I stopped caring. Gained 80 pounds, and feel like a tired 95 year…

I had managed to gain 80+ pounds back and am at my highest ever, 321!! I have health issues that are making life very uncomfortable, and expensive, at this weight. Ready to get healthy. Day 2 with no soda and no gluten. (I have celiac) Walked 15 min. last night, plan on 20 tonight. I need friends in the same boat to help…

I lost 64 pounds a couple years ago, but have gained it all back and then some. I am at 318 right now and only 5'4". I am a 44 yr old single mom and my daughter got married in June and moved out of state and my son graduated high school and moved out of state for college. I am struggling with not knowing who I am now that…

WOW!! You look great - what an awesome accomplishment!! I would love to add you as a friend and learn how you did it.

Way to go - that is a great NSV!!

I wish i had read this an hour ago before I ate Chinese takeout! I have really been struggling too. I am often home alone and turn to food. I live close to many fast food places so that does not help. I am going to try what you said - checking in here when i feel like binging. I have got to get control of this emotional…

I know exactly how you feel!! I weighed almost 11 pounds when I was born and have always been heavy. I think you hit it on the head for me right now. I have been stuck for months and keep sabatoging myself and I think it is because I am scared. I do not know what it is like to be a "normal" size - I do not know what it is…

I would love to join - not sure how to get to the group to check in once I post this, but I will try to figure it out. I have been stuck around the 244-245 since Nov. Hope this will give me the push I need to get the scale moving again. HW = 307 January 2012 CW = 244.6 GW = 188

Have you ever had a sleep test? You may be so tired all the time because you have sleep apnea and are not getting the restful sleep that you need at night. If you never get into REM sleep you will be tired, no matter how many hours you "sleep". Just a thought - this was my problem.

I passed up the maple bar my boss offered me!

That is awesome! You will only improve now that you got a taste of it. I too have always wanted to run but was way to heavy. I have only lost about half of what I need to, but this morning I jogged an entire 3 miles without stopping or walking! It still took me almost 36 min so I don't know if you can really call it…

I started at 307 and have lost 54 since being on mfp (62 pounds total). Have been stuck at 245 for weeks! Struggle with the eating healthy part:smile: I am a single mom with 2 great kids 16 and 19 and am finally taking time for me. Would love more friends.

You can do it! My goal for many years has been to lose enough weight to go on rides with my kids and I know I will finally get there by next May if I don't stop working at it. GOOD LUCK!:smile:

I am 42 and from Idaho add me

I am in for 50 as well. so far 8-1 = 1.75 8-2 = 2

Hi, my name is Terri and I am 42 yrs. old. I have been single for the past 16 years and I have 2 kids who have been the focus of my life. I have always been heavy (11pounds when I was born!) I am tired of looking and feeling awful. I was diagnosed with celiac and started gluten free in January. I have been working with a…
