Sorry I missed last week, but I see that everyone is doing wonderfully! I am down to 174.5#, which is 10# down from start of challenge on 10/18. (This is 17# total for me so far)

Welcome to the site! I think you will love it here! I had no idea how a website could help me lose weight and did not think I was eating that much. After tracking my foods on the great log and measuring my foods, I have learned just how much I was eating and how to control my portions. The food diary has made all the…

Well Said Randy....

Hey, thanks for the info! I'm learning, slow but sure!

Not trying to be stupid here but this is the first site I have posted on. What goes back to the top of the discussion list? The original post that people are replying to? Doesn't that stay at the top anyway? Or do you mean the top of all the discussion lists? Sorry. Just trying to live in a techno world being a nurse!

What does "bump" mean?

I'm down 2.5# this week. Down 4.5# from start of challenge Down 12.5# from SW

You are quite an inspiration to us all! I'm very impressed by your story! Keep up the good work and let us know when you hit your goal!

Great job all !! I am down to 181.5#, which is down 2#, since the 18th. Slow but steady!! I am down 10# since start day of Oct . 1st. Hang in there gang

Bless your heart, and your daughters. Fight hard for her and for yourself. Everyone here is pulling for you and I feel that emotion as I type these words. Trust in God and in the medical team. They will pull her up again. bless you and your family.

What was the first day of your last period? HCG can be detected in the urine before your next period is even due.

Thanks for the info. Altho I detest diet soda, I became way addicted to Pepsi, fully loaded. I have cut down to one a day of the Pepsi, from a six pack. I have been drinking diet root beer this past week. I have always been against artificial sweeteners but desperate to get off the Pepsi . At this point I will try to just…

My prayers are with you and your daughter. Stay strong.

Wow, do I know your dilema!!! I have been addicted to Pepsi (fully loaded) for several years. About 6 cans a day. I will take my 32 oz glass of Pepsi everywhere, and fill up at any Casey's I come to! I even take my cup into Walmart to go shopping! I hate coffee also. I have gained 55# with the help of my little buddies!!.…

I just want to add that I don't feel that anyone is being negative about your choices. I have never considered weight loss surgery as "cheating". Weight loss takes work, a lot if work and I know that weight loss surgery is a lot of work. With all of the preparing for it, usually a years worth of preparations. Then after…

I too am a nurse and take calls everyday from people who have had this surgery. After talking with these people I would never have this surgery done. It's scary how many problems these people have and the procedure is permanent. I don't want to be a downer in your decision, but it is a big one! And you are so very young. I…

So if I weigh 185#, which is 84kg x 1.4 =117 fm of protein per day? Just wanting to make sure I understand. It seems like mine is set at like 60 or something crazy like that. I have been worrying about it also. Thanks for the information.

I'm always in the red with protein also. I was wondering the same thing.

Hey! I'm in! Do we start from today?

Hey thanks for the reply ! I am getting a lot of great information and ideas from a at MFP! It's a great place to be for support!! Thanks and good luck to you!!

I am also a night shift nurse! It has caused a 55# wt. gain over the past 2 yrs. Not acceptable. So here I am as well. I am also hoping this will help my socialization. I don't do much of that, by myself in my basement every night, taking medical phone calls. It's a great job, but it's now time to wake up and get with the…

Thanks for the idea. I have heard about this more recently in the medical field. I will check into this.

Thanks for the reply. I will check into those ideas!

Oh wow, thats a great idea! I will check into this as well. Thanks for the info. I hope that with some exercise and getting this weight off that maybe my migraines will settle down. Good luck to you!
