I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Good Evening! A new week....best of luck, everyone! @Jon4189 ....my apologies! WOW....you must have some telescope! I am envious! @dawnbgethealthy , I had a similar problem.

Keep on keepin' on! @deepwoodslady ...WOW! The renovation is gorgeous! I envy you. Worth all the inconvenience, I have no doubt. Hope the finishing touches go…

  • Good day, Goddesses! @MissMerryBerry99 , Mary, hey there! WELCOME! Your story is a common one. I have a similar one....got to goal, was SO happy! But then I had a major life issue and it was all down hill from there. Add diabetes to that and its a whole new ball game. Now I am back to fix the physical, if I can't always…

  • Good Monday Morning! One of the hardest things to do is own the scale.…believe me, I know. But it's just as important to see the gains as it is to see the losses. And to remember that the body doesn't lose weight the way our minds want it to. Our body is set up to resist weight loss because it perceives it as famine, so it…

  • Good Evening, Peep.... and welcome June! Diana, I use Melatonin when I really can't fall asleep. It's not a drug and I only use it occasionally. But it works. And glad you got to enjoy a couple drinks. You have to splurge a little when you can. Maureen, thanks! Thankfully the panic attacks only last a couple nights.…

  • Good Evening! @deepwoodslady , I am now taking 1000 mg with breakfast and 1000 mg with dinner. And I haven't had any side effects today. Not sure why. But I am able to cut WAY back on the insulin. Day 15—05/29— 169.8 - Back in the 160's again! Gotta try to keep it there. Have a baseball game tonight, but will take my food…

  • Good Afternoon! I forgot to hit "Post Reply" to my post yesterday...grrrrr. Maureen, smartwatches are great! Your plan to move every hour is too. I tend to sit too much at times...the watch helps keep you honest. @Rh1aB1a , welcome back! And I envy you your pool. You'll get back into that swimsuit body....good luck with…

  • Another Saturday! Good Day! Day 15—05/29— 169.8 - Back in the 160's again! Gotta try to keep it there. Have a baseball game tonight, but will take my food in with me....that seems to help. I'll be glad when this grey weather goes away for awhile. I don't have as much ambition to do things. Day 16—05/30—170.8 - My meds are…

  • Good barely Afternoon, All! Welcome back to MFP, Diana! Glad to see you made it through to the other side of your life…it must have been awful! Good luck with getting back that life you missed as well as your weight loss! I have my Endocrinologist appointment in about an hour. I left the bandage off my carcinoma because I…

  • Good Morning, Fellow Challengers! @djsoos , great job on the loss! @CharmingPassion , you are right.…continuing is the way to go. That is just as much a success as a loss is.

  • Good Hump Day, everyone! Stef, it's just a abbreviation for "this morning's weight" instead of typing it out. 🙂 And you're right....you have to splurge on occasion as long as you own it. I have been an on and off MFPer since 2012, when I weighed in at 218 pounds. I lost 50 when I came here. Then my bf died suddenly, 4 days…

I have been following the Dermatologists orders…

Gonna take me awhile to go back through everyone's posts, but I will. @Jon4189 , ohhh...I can empathize. I have had 2....one passed on its own, painfully and the second needed surgery.

  • G'afternoon, all! Maureen, I wear a lot of exercise shorts/slacks because I don't need a belt. I recently put on a pair of jean shorts and they don't cut into my waist anymore. And another pair I HAVE to wear a belt with or they'll fall down. I still have a couple I still can't wear...too small. I have a pair of overalls…

Hey, Lana Cabana! 🙋‍♀️ Still doing organizing....seems like it never ends, but part of it is I can only do a little and I get tired. And yesterday, my…

  • Fri-Yay again! Oh, Maureen....that's tough! 😟 I guess a pillow between your knees wouldn't help, huh? I'm glad you have something to take to help. And 5 pounds in 4 days?? What's your secret? 😉 My daughter tells me I have moles that need checking, but from what I see, they are all just round moles....nothing irregular. But…

  • Wow….yes….our stories are very similar. Congrats on your amazing weight loss and overall health improvement! I have found I can now take less insulin, so I guess my efforts are paying off. I still have a long way to go, but I will get there. Stories like yours encourage me to keep moving forward. Thank you for your reply…

And it sounds to me like some time apart will be therapeutic for you and your daughter. Enjoy the peace and try not to feel guilty. Lana, I have never had a root canal.…only crowns. But as…

  • Good Afternoon, All! Enjoying your weekend so far? Lana, if you can get them covered, by all means try Wegovy or Zepbound. They are mostly covered by my Medicare, but I can't take them because of the side effects. That may not be an issue for you. When I was on Ozempic, I was losing weight but I couldn't handle the…
