Feel free to add me! I need to lose about 100. I've been here awhile but fell back on my old ways around the holidays. I'm now doing damage control and relearning. Would love more friends and motivation! Ok, I NEED motivation!!!

Congrats on your wonderful weight loss! Please do yourself a huge favor and do NOT overdo it. Sure, your incision may be healing perfectly, you may feel good, but believe me, you are still healing internally and you do not want to end up with adhesions/scar tissue. Overdoing it now could cause you problems down the road. I…

I have one small one...that my ex-husband absolutely forbid me to get. I had it done the next day. The tattoo is forever. I've been divorced from him since '98. My husband of 12 years loves it. I want to get another, maybe 2, one for each child, but I don't know what or where. I'm waiting to see how my body changes as the…

I love carbs. Pasta, cake, cookies, pie, bread... you name it, most likely, I love it. However... I'm a diabetic. Most carbs spike my sugar. How do I know this? I test frequently. I also know that I can eat whole wheat bread and whole wheat pasta and be within acceptable limits. I know some diabetics that would tell me I'm…

Besides logging my portions/calories on MFP, I'm also under a weight management program with a local hospital. Per the doctor, I am to drink 64 oz of water daily, which is easy for me because I was drinking that on a daily basis anyway. I do not count my coffee because I add creamer to it. I do track my coffee because I'm…

Awesome! Keep up the good work! :)

I admit, I'm tired and didn't go through all 9 pages of this thread so this most likely is a repeat. I vote don't tell her. She knows. She sees it in the mirror, she feels it in her clothes. Hearing it from you will hurt. Try planning activities where you are moving more - go for more walks, go hiking, tour some museums,…

Awesome post! You're an inspiration!

I want to stop being the "if only" girl: You'd be pretty "if only" you'd lose some weight. You'd wear nicer clothes "if only" you'd lose weight. You could accomplish XYZ "if only" you'd lose some weight. I heard that from my mother most of my life. I want to feel good enough. I want to feel pretty enough. Losing weight…

I have suffered from severe anxiety attacks since my mom died in 2000. I carry Ativan with me everywhere I go, but I try not to rely on it. I have found (and I am very grateful to my brother-in-law for this tip) that if I pop a stick of gum in my mouth when I feel an attack coming on, I can a lot of the times stave off the…

This is one of those da*&ed if you do/da*&ed if you don't situations. A lot of sugar free foods have added fat to make them taste better and a lot of fat free foods have a lot of sugar and sodium to get them to taste better. Best thing to do is read the labels and see how much, if any, of the extra additives you are…

Wow. Just. Wow. I'm clear on the other side of the country from San Fran and I thank you for getting involved. You may have saved a life (or lots of them).

I love making new friends! Please, feel free to add me! :)

Try drinking a cup of tea. I believe the tannic acid in tea has a diuretic effect. If that doesn't help, honestly, see your doctor to be sure there's not something going on. Most likely, it's nothing, but water retention and bloating are benign symptoms that, while most of the time are nothing, could be an issue.

Hey, anyone in Lower Luzerne County area? I'm in Freeland. Would love to get a walking group together. I need a few people to kick my tushie into gear!

Words cannot describe how glad I am to have found this post! I'm 45 and starting menopause early (TOM bounces all over the calendar). My hormones are so out of whack my doctor has diagnosed it as PMDD. The emotions are awful and my eating gets practically out of control. This upcoming TOM will be my first since I've…

69 pounds in 7 months? You, m'lady, are amazing! I can only hope that I am as successful as you. You don't know me from Adam, and it may not mean much, but you are inspiring. You show it CAN be done and yes, it is worth it! Don't let two insensitive clods get you down. A lot of people must notice, but not everyone knows…

Hi! Feel free to add me. I've started my journey for the last time - because I'm determined this time! I have 100 I would like to lose, 120 that the charts tell me I should lose. :) Really could use all the help I can get, and will gladly be a cheerleader for anyone! Ellie
