Wow! Well done! And yes, that last few pounds takes time....You can do it!

Wise advice!

Well, without being sarcastic...the "best" drink is ...water. That being said, with your present status, enjoy whatever! Great job!

Well done! I started around 278 and am now around 233. Still have roughly 40 pounds to go depending on what weight my doc comes up with at my next physical.

Fruit, or some of these 100 cal. snack packs. This a.m. I made some plain popcorn with just a little oil & popcorn salt.

As part of the "older" generation, I applaud your efforts! Wish I had concentrated on losing 20 years ago. It gets harder as you age, so do it now. Good job to all of you!

Well done!

As an American, I truly apologize...we don't all mean to be "ornery". I love the Brits, Canadians, and Aussies! If I could, I'd change our "English" version to yours, but it's out of my hands. I wish our politicians would put us on the metric system, but unfortunately, there are a lot of undereducated people here that…

Been there, and have done that! I'm currently wearing just about all my old clothes...now I want to get new ones that are at least 1 size smaller. It' feels great! This website has helped me a lot, and I credit my friends with getting me there. Now I'm waiting to post my next pic when I lose another 13 pounds....If you…

Good for you! You're well on your way. Inviting friends will only help! I'm constantly amazed how you gals approach this problem. Am thankful for all my friends that have encouraged and helped me along my way. If you still need additional support, feel free to add. Just remember...you CAN do this!

I usually try to avoid bread as much as possible, but find personally, that nothing completely can replace it. I usually have an english muffin in the morning with an egg or peanut butter, jelly or etc. If I elect to have "bread" at noon, I use a lo cal bread...2 slices = 70 cal. But usually, I have some type of bread only…

Yup! Live in Hudsonville...between Grand Rapids and Holland.

Well, I'm a grampa from Michigan...but if you can use support and motivation from the "older" side, let me know. You're headed in the right direction...friends help a lot!

Certainly going to give it a good effort! I'm in!

It's always great to add friend! That's what makes this program work...if you want, I will help you on this journey.

We've all gone off the wrong track, somewhere. You're up and attacking the problem...good for you! It took me a little longer.... If you want or need some more friends, I'll be glad to help and support you.

You can add me if you're still looking for a few friends. You can do this...you're off to the right start!

Had about 80-90 lbs to lose...am about half-way. Will determine my final goal after my next physical.

Have lost about 40 overall so far, guessing I have another 40 to lose. Logging in daily helps a lot, even if you do all your logging at the end of the day. I've got the time, so I log in 3X a day..just to keep motivated. You're on the right track...having friends to help motivate and encourage is the right way to go! If…

There are ignorant people everywhere! Just best to ignor them...you're doing great! Keep it up!

West Michigan between Grand Rapids and Holland.

When I was working, I ate a lot of oameal...boring, but it works. Another suggestion...yogurt, or an english muffin...or slim fast. I like to monitor what my friends are eating...a great place to get some ideas.

Would think it varies, but 20 lbs seems to be in the right area. I've lost about 40 lbs overall, and have dropped 2 sizes...moving rapidly toward my 3rd drop. ( 42-38)

Ida Red!

Plenty of us out here for support! If you need more...just give me an o.k.

By us here, the Beef and Broccoli is quit reasonable in calories. MFP helped me make that detemination. If you like veggies, try something that features those....

Good for you! You can do this!!

I've lost the microwave...so far.

Sounds like you're well on your way...congratulations. Lots of people out "here" that can friend you and help you along the way. I'm on the "older" side, but always willing to add a friend! If you choose...friend me.

Good for you! Great job!
