Sue, Congrats, on finding a new part of YOU!!! The YOU, that will be emerging, when all is said and done! Girl, you're remarkable, and I love you and the real life experiences you blog about!!! Namaste, - Nancy Jean -

The both of you look AMAZING!!! You look so much younger, and you also look like you can take on the WORLD AND WIN!!! Congrats to the both of you!!! It gives me an extra incentive to get my last 24 lbs. off, to reach my goal weight. Even though I reach my goal weight, according to MFP's BMI, I'll still be in the obese…

Vivian, I was reading Sue's blog and the replies from everybody, and I can across your reply. I'm so sorry to hear that you've received a report of being in a wheel chair, if something isn't done. I immediately stopped and prayed for you. I know that the God that we know and serve, doesn't want any of his children…

Thank God!!! I believe that America has finally turned the corner!!! I want to thank all the people on MFP and SparkPeople who are working so diligently, to keep us from being the fattest nation. WAY TO GO EVERYBODY!!! Be blessed, - Nancy Jean -

I can do my food and exercise diary, and the message boards, but I can't do anything else. There's a red box that says that the news feed is unavailable. I've been having trouble all day with this site. It's been so slow and not even connecting at all. I've only had trouble like this one other time, but it wasn't the news…

My dear friend, I'm so sorry that you've been under attack! I wouldn't wish that on anybody. You're such an inspiration to me, and you're so open about your faith, and you encourage me to pray even more than I do, already! You're absolutely right, you do have to be careful, where you post, as people can and are very cruel,…

I was way super morbidly obese!!! I weighted 388 lbs. I have no idea what my BMI was, and I didn't care, at that time. Even going to the doctors, they would put on my record morbidly obese. Now that shook me. When I finally started checking my BMI, on MFP, it was in the 40s. I just kept loosing weight, and it kept coming…

I love reading everything you have a desire to put on MFP!!! I'm so inspired by you, too!!! Young lady, you've done a fantastic job, with God's temple. You're new knees are just a hop, skip, and a jump away!!! God bless you and Ed!!!

I have the same problem. I've tried to at least eat 1000 calories a day, but my stomach has shrunk so much, it just won't hold all the food. I do drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, sometimes even more. I plan my meals, and even when I try to do small meals, my stomach hurts, if I try to eat when I'm not hungry or if…

Walking is definitely an exercise that you can lose weight when you do it!!! Walking is about the only thing I can do right now, and I'm doing great, with the weight loss!!! DON'T QUIT WALKING!!!

I heard on Family Life Radio, that the glazed donut breakfast sandwich has less calories, then their regular popular breakfast sandwich. Now that's wicked!!! Sometimes, I think I may want to try the sandwich, but I don't do fast foods anymore, and boy am I glad!!!

I can't give you advice on what to do, but I can tell you about my experience, losing weight. I started out at 388 lbs. I was miserable and could hardly get around. I'm on oxygen 24/7 and cpap at night. Well on 07 Sep 2012, I was in a car accident. I was in the hospital for 6 months. That's 1 month bedridden, 4 months in a…

What a fantastic transformation!!! You look great!!! Way to go, young lady!!!

I track everything!!! I need to be honest with myself and with others, who are reading my food diary. It's no use doing any of this, if you're not honest with yourself, about what you eat. This site is full of people who are here to help you, so why would you lie to them? It all comes out in the wash!!! If you don't lose…

You look absolutely amazing!!! My hat is off to you, young lady!!! I've been on my life style change since March of 2012, but got way laid with injuries, and gained almost all the weight back, that I had lost. The day that I was going to go back to Curves and start my working out again, I was in a car accident (07 Sep 12)…

Thank you so much for the encouraging words of wisdom, and sharing the list of success stories. This has just blessed my soul, and gives me even more determination to get through this journey, with God and all of you here on MFP. Thank you for being concerned and for sharing. God bless you!!!

As many times that I've lost weight in my life, the first place I would lose would be the breasts. There was nothing I could do to stop it, so I finally accepted it. That's the same way it is this time too, but I don't care. The fact that you're losing weight, is a blessing, as you're getting into shape. Keep going girl,…

You have such a kind and caring heart, and only God could have given that too you. I'm still going through my clothes, as I started out as a 5X in tops and 4X in pants. I don't wear dresses. Now I wear a 3X sometimes a 2X top depending on where they come from, and a 2X pant. I'm giving all my clothes along with typewriters…

I'm so sorry about your loss. I've been there, it's been several years ago, but I lost my mom. It was all I could do, to try and keep daddy from really going to pieces, but by the grace of God, My sister, my brother, and I held my dad up. The only time I saw him cry, was when the doctor told him, there was nothing they…

My sister passed on to me a quick and easy recipe using potatoes. Take 1 potato wash it and leave the skin on. Cut it into 8 sections and cut those sections into bite size pieces. Spray your pan with vegetable spray, put potato in the pan and spray the potato. Now for the fun stuff!!! You can use any kind of spices herbs…

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. That hurts my spirit. I don't know her name and I only know you as Mita5. I will go before God tonight, and lay your sister at his feet and pray for her. No matter how things look, you never know how God is going to work things out. God is no respector of persons. If He did it for…

You don't have to be in GA. We can still be friends. God lets me know when and when I shouldn't say things. Tonight was just the right time, as someone needed to hear it. That was just a small bit of the story, but the first most important part for me. We can encourage each other, with inspiring stories, or devotionals, or…

I'm getting ready to go out of the 40 - 50 age group, as I'll be 60 next month. However, I would still like to join your group. Please count me in.

Praise the Lord for cheerleaders!!!! I know that some day, God will enable me to be able to exercise, once again. I'm looking forward to that day. I do have a physical therapist come to my home 3 days a week, and we do exercises, so that I can learn how to walk correctly again. It's hard, but I don't consider that…

Annie, I'm honored to have you as my friend. With my health problems, and just starting to learn how to walk again, I don't think my doctor would recommend anything other than what I'm doing now. That's portion control, and lots of water and juice. I even splurge sometimes and have some lemon drops or Werthers, but other…

I've tried it, and had a short success with it. When I stopped doing it, as it was so expensive, and it got to the point where I really wanted something to chomp on, I lost it. Besides, the taste, to me, isn't at all what I think it should be. Thank God, that you haven't gained any weight. You know that if you're…

Susan, My name is Nancy Jean Smith. I don't know when I first joined this site, but I was way layed, by a car accident and spent six months in the hospital. I would love to be buddies with you. The last time that I had entered anything in and when I got home and entered in my weight, I had lost 78 pounds in nine months.…
