Everyone can feel free to add me as well. I could always use more motivation and support! I love reading and commenting on others' efforts and progress. I log daily, no exceptions!

I'm all for new friends as well! I'm not new to MFP, but recently started again to take care of the rest of this weight. My diary is open for friends, and I log and post every day, several times a day. Please send a message along with your request please.

I know how you feel. I was where you are, and the doc put me on HBP meds as a result, which I'm happy to say I'm now off of. With hard work, you can reverse things! I sent you a friend request. I hope we can motivate each other to accomplish our goals. :D Anyone else can feel free to add me as well!

I know how you feel. I had this happened to me back in January. Due to stress I dropped 6 lbs and was 5 lbs away from my goal weight. I'm tiny, so just a little loss shows. It was really noticeable to me. Maybe it was just because I dropped it so fast, it was a shock. I don't know. My husband started making comments about…

35 here! Anyone can feel to add me.

Yes, the dreaded and scary vitamin d deficiency. 1 1/2 years ago I started having fast heart rate, spikes in heart rate for no reason (up to 120bpm sitting), high blood pressure, dizziness, faintness, headaches, severe muscle weakness (where I couldn't lift or hold onto anything), bone pain, numbness, allergies, skin…

I'm 5'1 HW: 220 SW: 175.6 CW: 169.6 GW: 135

You look amazing!!! Such an inspiration for me!! Thank you for sharing!

Have not been camping for a few years, but here are some ideas. Some need a cooler to keep stuff. 1. corn on the cob, sweet or red potatoes: wrap in 3-4 layers of aluminum foil and throw directly in the fire.. 2. Marinated chicken recipe to (freeze, thaw and cook on camp fire, or grill ahead of time) marinade: 3 equal…

First, congratulations on taking control of your health!!! What I would do though is talk to your doctor and clear exercise with him/her before you start exercising. Mono affects your spleen, so if you are not 100% over it, you could do some further damage by dieting/exercising.. I had mono when I was 12.. and remember…

I joined 3 weeks ago and actually started using it two weeks ago. I was afraid of the same thing too, as it takes a lot to keep my focus! But trust me, it does not wear off! It's so great to see so many people achieving goals, seeing others' diaries and comparing your own, getting messages congratulating you on your own…

this makes perfect sense!

i can relate a little. My husband has been telling me for years " you look great!", "I like every inch of you just the way it is", etc etc.. this was a 220 lbs in the beginning. I'm 5'1. He pumped up my confidence so much that I started to like me just the way I was. Only thing that bothered me was I was plus size. So I…

I'm on here everyday as well, well actually, several times a day. Feel free to add me. :)

I'm in too! This was my goal too. How does this work?

In NY.. I spend anywhere from $130 - $175 for a family of 2 adults and two teenagers. We eat very clean as well, and everything is cooked from scratch (except pasta, tomato sauce, etc), lots of fresh fruit and vegetables (some frozen). I shop at Sams Club too and buy in bulk for everything I can.

Hi Kathy! I'm new here too since last week. 35yrs and I need to lose about 40 lbs. I too have high blood pressure, circulation issues, and a too fast heart rate that I'm on medication. I hope to get off of the medication by losing weight, eating right, and exercising... a lot! I will add you as a friend! You can do this!

I also enjoy eating real food. I don't like looking at labels and not being able to recognize what is in it! If it's in a box and has 5 ingredients or more, forget it. I cook everything from scratch. I do however use I can't believe it's not butter, and the occasional can of low sodium soup or spaghetti if I'm in a rush…

I was just talking to my husband about this. I think I look great in the mirror, but when I see a picture of myself, I'm mortified! Nice to know it has a name!

This is exactly my problem too.. Not eating enough. My Net goal is 1200. BMR is 1600. I'm trying to find another 327 calories to eat for the day. I know you aren't suppose to go below 1000 otherwise starvation mode right?

Yes, I know I'm in the right place now Thank you all for the replies!! I don't feel so alone now. It's so nice to meet everyone! I've accepted friend requests. Thank you!
