Me too. I love MFP. Have lost 94 lbs. since last July. Half way to my goal. Best wishes for a continued new lifestyle journey.

Getting behind the wheel of my "thin" friend's car, and not having to move the seat back. I even noticed today that I really should pull my seat "up" in my car. It's a different world out there when you're thinner!

What is the brand name of the "lemon loaf tea"? Hope I can get it in the US.

Hi newbie: Click on "My Home". Go to "Goals" and start plugging in your data. There should be a question on the top in red asking if you want them to figure it out. It should take you to your daily allowances of nutrients from there. Best of luck. This is a wonderful tool/guide in losing weight.

Have been doing intermittent fasting (noon to 8:00 p.m.) since July 2020 along with logging on MFP. I have lost 94 lbs. so far. Best thing every, and I have more energy than before. Keep up the good work, you are worth it!

Just realized that I need a new office chair at work. I keep sliding forward in the seat. It was a chair that was brought for me special, because I weighed 319 lbs. back then. Also, my thighs touch the sides of the arm rests. I can now fit two kitty cats (one on each side) on the chair with me now. Down 95 lbs. now - Wow…

My next mini goal is to face the orthopedic surgeon on 4/14/21. He saw me back in July 2020 for consideration of double knee replacements. After weighing me, he stated that he would not touch me until I lost 100 lbs. As of today I have lost a total of 95 lbs. I KNOW I will reach my 100 lbs. goal by then. I'm hoping he…

I agree, visualization helps me when I "slip up", which I did last night. For some reason I just kept eating sweet stuff (chickpea cookies and trail mix) past my allotted time. I do Intermittent Fasting along with logging on MFP faithfully. I document when I stay on track or if I overeat. I have lost 94 lbs. since 7/16/20.…

Wonderful transformation. Your currently picture looks like a younger little sister to the first one. You are amazing! Keep up the good work. You deserves it.

I was getting into my thin friend's car to drive when I realized that I did not have to move the car seat back to get in. I let out a scream that scared her terribly, but she was happy for my exuberance!

Your transformation is amazing. Thank you for sharing, keep up the good work. You look 20 years younger.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your story. You are the poster child for overcoming adversities. Wishing you continued success in your journey. You are truly an inspiration.

Hi Dunza2. First of all you need to keep in mind that you are improving your health for yourself. My minister once spoke on a text of "SHOW, DON'T TELL - Actions Speak Louder That Words". You just show all the doubters that you have what it takes to reach goal. I have tried off and on to lose weight, and I know some people…

Just joined myself. Have lost 90 lbs. since 7/16/20. Can't wait for my one year celebration. Wishing you all the best with your new life styles!

Originally from Pittsburgh, PA (home of the Pittsburgh Steelers), but relocated 40 years ago to Titusville, PA (bet you have to look it up)!

It takes persistence and not kicking yourself when you slip up. We all do from time to time. Just dust yourself off and continue on your healthy lifestyle journey. We all deserve that.

First of all, thank you for your service to our country. You are to be commended on your diligence in getting to a healthier lifestyle. It is never too late to start and never too late to achieve your goals. God bless you, and keep up the excellent progress you are making. I look forward to hearing more from you. Do you…

I like to visualize my weight loss by sticks of butter. You have lost 164 sticks off of your body. CONGRATULATION!!!
-
SUPER WOW!!!!!! You look like a different person.
-
Congratulations, if you could see me you would see me doing the happy dance for you. What an accomplishment! :p I am half way to my goal, having lost 90 lbs. since 7/20. I know the hard work and dedication you have put into making a "better" you! Two thumbs up on your new healthy lifestyle.
-
You're right!!! I tried on several masks that hurt my ears and I stopped using them. They are nice and roomy now. Thanks for the heads up!

Everyone is different, depending on body type and how much weight you need to lose. Congratulations in working towards a healthier lifestyle. Sometimes you may have NSVs (non-scale victories) like looser clothes and a quicker bounce in your step. Be patient, you are worth the time and energy. We did not gain weight over…

You can do it. I'm rooting for you. You are stronger than diabetes.

I always fit a 100 calorie snack pack of something that I can throw in my purse for emergencies. It is also logged into MFP diary. My favorite is currently Cliff Bar thin chocolate chip bars. Two to a pack and very crispy. Delicious with a cup of tea. I do IF (12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m.), so a large mug of hot tea takes the…

You are to be commended on what you have endured, and still keeping on your weight loss journey. God's blessings to you and your family. Keep the faith that 2021 will be better for you and everyone going through any adversities in life.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciated your story about your weight loss. You are truly an inspiration to so many, including me. I also feel uncomfortable when people start noticing my weight loss efforts. I started at 319 lbs. on 7/16/20 and have lost 90 lbs. so far. I am half way to my goal of 140. I am at the point…

I am a loyal fan of IF. I have been doing the 16:8 since 7/16/20 after my orthopedic surgeon said he would not do the double knee replacements until I lost 100 lbs. I weighed in at 319 in the office. I have so far lost 90 lbs. with my next appointment being 4/14/21. Can't wait to see his face when he sees how much weight I…

Well when COVID hit last March I was in the mind set that if I was going to die, I was going to die happy. I started eating a pint of Ben & Jerry ice cream (my all time favorite) about 3 to 4 times a week each night. Needless to say I started gaining and gaining. I gained so much that I was using a cane to walk and knew…

Your transformation is remarkable. Congratulations!

You look fabulous. I didn't realize how different I looked either until I saw before and after pictures of myself. Keep up the good work. It is well worth the effort.
