hi, your post just made me almost cry. I understand the loneliness. None of my friends are trying to lose. I'm kinda isolated myself but I'm working it. I have made quite a few friends here in cyberspace on mfp. I would love to be your friend. I understand your desperation. As a nurse I would advise after you lose a few…

yeah, I've read this one too. made me almost cry too. Sooooooo hits home. another fat girl here.

being a nurse one of my first thoughts is rapid wt loss could be from disease or from anorexia. Also, It would not be good to call it "confronting". That implies confrontation. This will make anyone defensive. Like the one person said . she probably does already know about it. I lost 20 lbs awhile back but no strength…

hi, have you set up your goals in the programming? maybe they need to be adjusted. I'm 5'2" and mmmmmmmmmmmmmxhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm wt and it set me up for 1300 calories. are you doing strength training too maybe on opposite days throw in some 5 lb or 3 lb dumbbells for your arms.......inches are great. remember muscles…

thx for sharing this definitely going to try it.

hi shawn me too. see my profile have 50 lbs to lose

hi, i need friends and want support and positives only too. I have 50 lbs to go and lost 3 so far. welcome aboard friend me and I'll friend you

I said to myself WOW. you look way better. :) keep it up.

thx for sharing this. It is enlightening. I like the food diary so much because with it there are no lies (unless you're in denial and lying to yourself, in which case you better wake up and smell the peanut butter). lol

you can certainly add me I am only in my 3rd week but I get on here every day have to lose 50 lb and know it will take a year maybe so I'm in it for the long haul. and I need friends too

atta girl. i didn't wanna go walking today but I did and went 10 min. farther than my usual. yay for both of us. JUST DO IT!

oh my goodness. when you laugh out loud when you're alone reading something THAT's funny. so glad you shared this. made my day. My husband corrupted me and I can now belch with the best of 'em. Farts ARE a little more complicated. lol

One of the things I've seen in a lot of places is to consciously sit and eat at the table with no distractions, no reading/tv/computer and just enjoy every bite, really taste it. Slow down chew more, stop between bites and sip your drink.Hope this helps you. I have this problem too. working on it.

I agree with these 2 other quotes. You look great after the gain back. your shape is well defined. If you want to be stronger or go for one spot exercises that's ok but don't go to extremes. and definitely lose the boyfriend unless he can accept you for you.

thank you for this. I need soooooooo much encouragement. I was a chubby kid and almost always picked last, played center field, loved to read more than run. Athletic brother always better than me at anything physical. Skip to 55 yrs old and trying to now lose 50 lbs. Been at it for 3 wks, logging for 11 days in here. Lost…

my husband worked at Food for Less for awhile and worked with hispanic co workers and the guys were always bringing in this plain tuna, corn, pico de gallo (tomatoes, onion, cilantro) and then you can add anything else you can think of for flavor and it is really good. I had forgotten about this one. think i'll make it…

Hi Missoularocks. I am 55, just started my fitness pal ab out 2 wks ago. It's really helping I think. I weighed 184 at beg. I have about a year journey ahead of me I think to get to 130-135. It would really help to hear more of what you did to lose. Do you have any good bkfsts? I am a g'ma and walking is what I can do…

hi, I'm Barb. I just started about a week ago and I have 50 lb to lose. I would love to have you as a pal on here. Add me.

happy for you. encouraging for me. just starting this (again) for the umpteenth time.

knix......is correct from everything I've ever heard. As a nurse I know your pelvis is an indicator (bigger gives baby more room to come through in labor) and I have used that same wrist and finger thing. also I know petite has to do with your inseam length and ht.

I'm here!! I'm an LVN/LPN depending on where I live. I'm in so cal. you? I probably will be logging off soon, dinnertime but pls feel free to privately message me on facebook. I am Barbara Hull (pic with the husband not the other one) and I live in Long BEach. I went to hof's hut today and had a salmon caesar salad with…

hi, kim. I agree with what has been said there about condition not having MUCH to do with your wt loss efforts, but as a nurse and one who has it and am on synthroid I have been told that same thing that it doesn't have much to do with it by doctors. However, I beg to differ with that because my experience has been that it…

Hi, I am hypothyroid too. Have been for years now. My biggest drawback besides that this condition tends to fatigue me is that I hate exercise. I am starting over again and also looking for buddies in my quest. I have to lose 50 lbs. I have lost 20 in the past but have gotten stuck here for 2 yrs. I need moderation and…
