My Dad commenting that I looked REALLY good. He doesn't comment on stuff like this! Oh, and also, taking over the box of chocolates that I got as a gift to my sisters place so I wouldn't eat them.

Holy cow Shannon!!! Awesome before and after pics!

Feel free to add me (and anyone else as well). I am here for the long haul and have lots to lose. Good luck on your journey. Barb

Feel free to add me. I am here for the long haul. One word of advice! Don't call them cheat days. I used to use that term and someone else pointed out to me that "cheat" implies that you are doing something bad or negative. It's not bad to have a day where you chose to eat what you want. I now call them free days! Good…

Don't be nervous Scott. One of the hardest parts is starting. When I first logged on this summer I truly didn't believe that something so simple as this website would have much success. It truly is a great website and I have met some wonderful people. I have struggled the past couple of months with the weight loss but the…

Same here. My meds get adjusted constantly as I gain and lose weight. I started losing my weight in August and since then my doctor has increased my dose. I go back in a couple of weeks to get it retested. I thought it was odd that my dose was going up with my loss but even though they kind of go hand in hand, there are…

I can relate to almost all of the above posts. My big kick in the pants started in April when my cousin (and best friend) committed suicide. She had suffered from depression for a long time and I have had bouts of it myself but never to that extreme. After she passed, I didn't care what I ate or how much of it. I gained 10…

Feel free to add me. In this for the long haul!

Anyone is free to add me. I log on daily and post often.

Although I should cut down on carbs, not low carbing at the moment. As for the rest of your post, depression is definitely a hard thing to go through and you will find a lot of people on here have suffered it at one time in their lives. I log on daily, and post often. Feel free to add me and you will find lots of friendly,…

Cochrane, AB - Anyone's free to add me.

Luckily I bought a Zumba game for my wii so it tells me how many calories I have burned. I have only done it twice so far (got the game Wednesday) and even the low intensity songs get me hot. Haven't broken a sweat yet as I am still learning the moves but so far love it. Can't wait until I get a good sweat on :-)

Awesome job on your loss!!!! I too love this website and a few of my personal friends have joined because of my success. The people on here are awesome and even when you are feeling bad about the journey, someone always comes along and kicks ya in the butt. I have met some really great people and see myself being connected…

For me, I tend to lose the weight in the areas that aren't my biggest issues, like my neck, colar bone, waist etc. I am very pear shaped and need to lose it mostly in the hips and thighs. Since I lose the weight in these other sections, I find my "big" issues become even bigger even when they aren't. Not sure what your…

Hi Kristie, I am just outside Calgary so exercing together won't work but I am on here daily and comment lots. Feel free to add me if you like. Barb

I have done weight watchers off and on for years, paying and just trying on my own. I have had success there but always gained it back. Doing MFP, I have lost almost 24 lbs since August and even when I do have bad days / weeks, I have not gained any of it back. I love MFP and will be here for a long time. Feel free to add…

Lost 6.5 inches since August

I can't relate as my life isn't as busy as yours but something for you to think about. You said that you drive the kids around from 6 to 8. Are you in the car the whole 2 hours or are you dropping off, waiting, and then moving on? If you are waiting at each location, go for a 10 min walk at that time. While helping the…

Anyone is free to add me! Here for the long haul and log on daily. Would be lost without MFP and my friends on here.

I am in Cochrane and work in Calgary. Feel free to add me :-)

I too have been a ww member off and on for many years. I have been successful and lost but then gained it all back and more. I tried to do it on my own in July, did well for a few weeks, lost and then gave up again. I think for me, I needed a "change" in my thinking. Points can certainly help with the amount of food you…

As others have stated, 1000 seems really low, especially if you have 90 lbs to lose. We don't know your history or the reasons behind why they have suggested it however, I would suggest getting another opinion. I saw my doctor the other day, and granted I do weigh a lot more than you, he said I should not go below 1500…

WOW!!!!! I checked our your blog. Well wishes on your recovery. You are truly an insperation.

I have been to a couple that stand out to me. In particular Josh Groban (because he is funny and very talented) but the BEST concert story I have is when I was 18. My friends parents had bought us tickets to go see Billy Joel for my birthday. We had nose bleed seats. We were sitting there waiting for the concert to start…

I have sent you a friend request. I too have a long way to go. If anyone else would like to add me feel free. I log in every day and track almost all the time regardless if I am over for the day. It helps me give myself a kick in the butt when I see the "If you continue to eat like this day you will weigh ###", good or…

Sent you a request.

Wow!!!! You look absolutely amazing and are an insperation!!!! Well done.

I have a lot to lose and would love to do it before my 40th birthday. I kicked some serious butt the first 5 weeks on here but have been struggling since. The good news, haven't gained in the past few weeks, the bad news, have only dropped about 2 pounds this month. We are all going to have our struggles and hope that we…

We haven't had any of the good old winters where you froze to death by Halloween. Why I remember trick or treating and not making it more than 1 house without having to be let inside to warm up by the nice neighbours. Did I mention it was uphill both ways? [/quote] I live in Cochrane AB. Born and raised. I remember in the…

And I never ate anything before hand because I went right after work and ate supper afterwards. Didn't bother me at all not having any food.
