I am also on the 100 pound journey. I lost 50 three years ago and now I am starting from day 1 again. if you want to add me go ahead. Thanks

So instead of complaining you are self centered, cause that is between you and her, I will say this, I have been on phentermine and it sucks, sure it seems like a great pill, because it works on a persona mentally to make think they are not hungry. It also makes blood pressure higher (which I wish my DR would have shared…

Hi, feel free to add me, I have about 100 pounds to go as well.

Yah I tried that recently as well to, and realized I like counting calories more than points. I recently had a hysterectomy and have been using it as an excuse to eat crap. I think I am two pounds more then when I started ww. My membership expires April 11. I am not going back, I like the motivation but, I am just having…

Don't close your diary because someone made you feel guilty. First of all weather it is a diet or a lifestyle, Don't feel guilty for what you ate, just enjoy it. Because sometimes people like to live a little and enjoy. You only live once. I personally have made this a lifestyle, yes for several months I was up and down,…

I agree not only make healthier choices, but if the portion size is huge, split or eat half and take half home. Thats what I like to do when we go out. Don't give up, first your on day 2, you joined MFP, which means you know there is a problem and you have acknowledged it, only you can make a difference in your weightloss,…

I drink Diet coke and Diet Dr. Pepper. It is not good for kidneys because of the carbonation and the phosphurus added to it. However I drink it alot and all the time for years and years. I don't have a sodium problem, however if you have a sodium problem, may not be a good idea. Check with a dr. But I love the stuff. I…

feel free to add me. I am almost 39.

you can add me if you want.

Wow I had an ah ha moment back in june of this year. Over my whole life since i was about 10 i struggled with weight. In the last 16-18 years i have kidney stones, pancreatitus and other issues. I looked at my son one day and knew i had to do it for him, but at the same time it wasnt enough. so i have yo-yoed for years.…

You need to stop where you feel comfortable and healthy. I have been 5'1 since i was 13 years old. at 18 i was 145, and i was comfortable. Peeps always used to tell me i was too fat as did my doctor . I always was comfortable at that weight. But since people get harping on it, i realized i always felt alwful and fat and…

I dont really do much for like 5 or 10 pounds. I take a picture every 10 pounds. But when i lose 19 more to get down to 200. I would like to get my hair done possibly, thinking highlighted but not sure. When i get to my goal (140) i am going on a cruise with girlfriends. no hubbies and no kids for a week.

44 not to old you are only a few years older than me. I have a 2 year old, and i plan on being around for a long time. Sure I was in my prime many moons ago, but once i lose this weight, i will be back in my prime :) Doing some of the things i want to do whhile keeping up with my child. It is never too late to start but…

Im here pretty daily too, usually more than once a day. I don't have tons of time to always respond but you can definetly add me, message me or email me. I have a 2 year old so the only time i really have time is when he is napping or asleep. but i do check regularly with my phone.

Congratulations. Very awesome!

I guess i would have delt with it, either by having one drink and nursing it all night, or tell them I have medical issues and not allowed to drink or I am on medication. Funny i was making dinner the other night for friends and my friends all know i am counting calories, but i had no clue what to make. My friend said you…

AMEN! I was concerned that i did some damage i have been on predinisone, the other day i ate like 1000 calories or so over, last night i ate exactly 1200 which will probably never happen again, and tonight i was over by like 200 and some. but tommaorw needs/has to be a better eating day. stopping for a minute to refocus…

Feel free to add me too.

Personally, if it were me, I would go get some. Share it with someone or throw half away but sometimes even a litlle bite can make it all better, satisifies the craving. sometimes if i eat something i want even just a bite, thats enough to make me okay with it.if you don't eat it sure it may be better for you, but does it…

You can add me too. i am here for a lifestlye change as well. I have another 85 pounds to lose. I started at needing to lose 108.

I think the bigger a person is the harder it is to tell. how do you clothes fit. I started at 248 and i am currently at 225. It is about 23 pounds, and i am still pretty big looking. people can tell by my face being thinner and i can tell a little bit from my face. I also know what the scale says but i have noticed my…

I would like my breasts to really shrink. They have always been huge, even when i was younger and thinner. If i can't get the weight off them, i may have a breast reduction when i loose all my weight. One weigh or another they are getting smaller.

How much do you weigh and how much do you need to lose. if you dont mind me asking. I started doing couch to 5 k a while ago and when i went to the dr and told him, he said no, don't do it. ( i have i call it sponge knee cause they have water in them but not enough to drain). He said until i get down to 200 pounds he…

That happened to me a few months ago. I was at little gym with my 2 year old, and some 5 year old girl asked me if there was a baby in my belly. Im not sure her mom heard her but i was kinda offended, her mom called her over at that minute so i didnt have to answer. not sure if coincednence or mom heard it. but was pretty…

Has he checked your electrolites and sodium. I have had kidney stones in the past and seen a urologist as well. My last kidney stones (when i get them i usually have multiple stones), when i was in the er, they checked my electrolites as well as my sodium. I wasnt dehydrated but my sodium was almost completely depleted.…

You can add me. I am going to lose 108 pounds total. Currently i have 88 left to lose

Hello. In all honesty I only read a few of the posts, but here is my thoughts on it, I have known people who were extremely big and have had gastric bypass surgery, I also know people who have had gastric banding (lapband). One of the peeps who had gastric bypass lost a ton of weight in the begining, and couldnt eat much…

I like to use Splenda. They have Splenda they have a brown sugar mix, and i think a baking mix. Dependng what i am making i usually use the regular splend and just use less.

Amen! I agree it is a lifestyle change it is not a diet.

I probably spend as much time here as i do on facebook. Addicted to both.
