The hardest part about losing weight for me is to get in the mind set that I didnt gain 70 lbs overnight ans I aint gonna lose it overnight . I just turned 54 and I came here last year. I lost 38lbs but gained 18 back when I stopped smoking. I'm determined to start loosing again and change my eating habits so I can keep it…

Great work.....you inspire me to keep on keeping on!!!!

I too am returning after a 3 month hiatus. Would love some new friends to keep me motivated and maybe do the same!!!!

Chiquita Banana

Wow.....I needed to read that this morning!!!!

Interesting question....As a 7th grade teacher for many years I have been known to let a silent deadly one go next to my "favorite" student while quietly walking around the class checking work....I know....I'm sick!!!!:)

Massage therapy!!!!!!!!!

All I will say here is........ ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say if it works for you then give it a shot. :)

34 lbs in about 6 months!!! My goal is 70 in a year so I am half way there!!!!

When I saw commericials for the show the first season i thought.....what a stupid show....never really knew much about the whole zombie craze....however, I am absolutely hooked now. I cant think of a series I have enjoyed this much in many moons. Sunday nite at 9:00 you can bet the farm where my son and I will be!!!!

I dont have a mental illness but I am in Recovery for other reasons......coming up on my 4 year anniversary next month. Guess we all have our crosses to bear. I wish for you the best.

I've done low carb before....never quite that low.....but it was successful short term....just couldnt seem to stay with it. I'm having better success with counting calories and I think its something I can maintain. However, do what works for you has always been my motto!!!!

I haven't lost enough YET for people to think I'm sick, but I have a picture in my living room from 10 years ago after I had lost about 40 lbs and a good friend calls it my "crack picture". I think I look great.....funny how different we see ourselves from what others see....I know one thing.....I'm gonna throw a party…

I sleep about 6 to 7 hours a nite....don't know how it effects weight loss but interesting to think about. And on another note..... ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Heather....glad you are back. I've been using MFP since the beginning of June and it has helped sooooooo much with my weight loss and also with that happy feeling we get when we doing something positive for ourselves. The hardest part about losing weight for me has always been getting into the mindset that I didnt gain…

Southeast Georgia.....home of bugs AND humidity. I've lived here my entire life so i'm used to it. Mobile, huh....my Father is from Foley, Alabama!!!!

Thanks for the info...I understand this much better than before. I did the calculations and I am right where i'm suppose to be!!!!

I feel ya......promised my self I would only weigh once a week on Sunday morning. So fa so good but I ALMOST caved this morning!!!!!

I started riding my bike every morning when school was out for the summer. I'm a teacher and now that schools back in session I havent been able to get motivated to get up early and ride. I can really tell a difference. So.....I bought an exercise bike yesterday and will use it in the morning and ride my bike in the…

I am a RABID SEC Football Fan....Roll Tide!!!! Wear very little make-up. No heels----everIf I can help it. My 3 best friends in High School were guys. Love to play golf.

I'm tired of being fat and I want to feel better. Also want to be able to play a full 18 holes of golf with my son without feeling like I'm about to die!!! I also want to be able to kick his but on the course again!!!:)

Seems to be the first thing to go for me. I still have plenty left but no longer need the old handy dandy extenders I've used over the last several years.

Wow....Thanks for the post. I need to hear success stories like yours!!!! Congratulations!!!!

Thanks for asking that question. I've been wondering about that also and was amazed at how many carbs I was allowed each day. I've tried low carb diets before and although I lost weight relatively quickly it always came back. Today.....I am doing what you are and the weight is coming off slower but I actually have hope…

I know how you feel but I dont worry to much about the scales. I can FEEL the difference in my clothes, my walking and even how I fit in my car. Keep on keeping on., Thats what I plan to do!!!!

My son bought me a bicycle for my birthday and I am riding almost every day. I usually ride about 20 miles a week so far. I am also using portion control and have lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks. I find riding better than walking as I have back issues and its lower impact.

I am new here and this is my first post. I have been teaching for 31 years. The last five years I have been a Hospital Homebound teacher and have gained 50 lbs!!!!!! Lots of time driving from house to house and school to school doesnt help with the fact that I have always struggled with my weight. I am so grateful to have…
