Just AMAZING Keep up the good work and there is nothing more rewarding that feeling good about ourself.. thanks for sharing. I am 5'1 and one weighed 262 pounds so I know what you mean... I…

All I want for xmas is 24 hours no arthritis pain and my motivation... that's all!!!

I am 5'1 and my highest weight was 260, let me say I was bigger around that I was tall... I started MFP at 230 and now weigh 172, my goal is to be 150... I guess I was so big that now people tell me I do not need to lose anymore... are they kidding 172 at 5'1 is still obese ... well I will be very happy at 150... good luck…

Hey, I have been on MFP for over a year almost 2.. and lost 55 pounds. The first year pounds were coming up pretty quickly, then the last 6 to 8 months very slowly. It's like I am comfortable at this new weight and am no longer motivated to stay on track. I really need to exercise, I have every excuse in the book not to…

I make it look good at work that I am busy... but most of the time my work is all done and I spend time on MFP and facebook.. thank goodness no one from work is on this site..LOL

You should be proud.. all your hard work paid off you look AMAZING.. you go girl!!! hugs!!!:flowerforyou:

1. I am afraid to grow old and alone (I have no siblings, no kids, therefore no grand-kids and have only 2 nieces and 2 nephews). 2. Have been happily married for 26 years, I love my husand dearly... but sometimes wonder what would my life be like if I wasn't married. 3. Eventhough I know I am overweight... contrary to…

Most of our 31 years together I weighed more than him... every so often I would lose weight and be smaller... but not for long as I kept gaining my weight back.. this thim thanks to MFP ... I am now smaller and intend to stay smaller . He weighs 200 and I weigh 180 and I want to get down to 150.

Well my heaviest was 265 and I am only 5'1.. so I was as round as I was tall... and stupid me I went back to 230 and am now down to 181....and want to be 150 at some point in the future

Here is my story. I met my husband at 14 (one month short of 15) we dated for 3 years then he said let's get engaged at xmas (I am now 18) and I said all excited OK... but then 2 years later he never talked about wedding or dates... so finally (I am now 20) I asked so will we ever get married or what... he says well grab…

So sorry that you feel frustrated and I do understand, I have been there too... I read once that in order to change our weight we first must change our mind.. we have to change our way of thinking.. what we were eating before is not good for us therefore we are not depriving ourselves of it... I know it is easier said than…

Hi everyone, well I am 45 and just lost 45 pounds..lol I have been yoyoing since I was a teenager, this time I am focused and never want to go back in the 200.. still have about 30 pounds to go... Some days I feel in my 20s and some morning due to arthritis I feel like I am in my 70s..lol Great to meet you all ... lets do…

During this hard time.. people would say life will get back to normal, time will heal... I do believe that for one exception.. eventhoug we do get back to our lives - the hole in our heart and in our life remains. My parents lost 3 children in a fire in 1964, (I was born in 1965), till this day my parents say there is…

So sorry for your loss. I do not have children, but my godson was the closest person to me... he was the son I should of had. A 4 months ago, he took his own life at the young age of 23. This has been the hardest thing I had to face in my life. Again this morning I cried all the way to work. When I got the news, I…

Well welcome to you two.... this is a great site, with great support and motivational friends.. the trick is to request friends and keep encouraging them as they will you. Best of Luck and cheers to weight loss.

Cool.... you made me realize that I lost 40 pounds in 30 weeks.. hey I am very happy with that.....Thank you

I so understand cause I am in the same boat, keeping losing same 2 pounds, but one of my MFP friends said i should try and cut on carbs for a few weeks.. so tomorrow morning I will be starting cutting carbs... just a suggestion and I will keep you informed if it helps me, if you want.. Best of luck

Welcome to MFP.. just wanted to let you know that my biggest motivation and support are my friends on MFP. Having friends on MFP makes you accountable for your daily choices. This is a great site and if you wish you can add me to your friends list.

Hi ... sorry I am from Canada... but best of luck.. :)

Well today I took my bike out for the first time in 2 years.. wow.. it started ok.. but when I got back home after 20 minutes my legs were shaky..... oh did I mention it is very hot and humid.. I am sweating like crazy ... but I intend on doing the same route everyday for the next week until my legs don't shake when I…

Thanks,... you deserve a vacation... and just make sure that when you are on vacation, you drink your water, ask for dressing on the side...and if you eat out there are lots of restaurants who have their menu on the net with nutrient value...so you can make a wise decision.. MOST OF ALL enjoy...

Wow what a start to July. Went away camping to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary. We had a total of 130 guest, great food, beautiful campfire and lots of dancing. We even renewed our vows, it was all a very emotional time, Had a bit to much food, a few drinks, but overall I didn't do that bad as of today I only have 1…

I am celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary with family and friends.... woo hoo.. Cheers to the next 25 years! Happy 4th of July to all my American MFP friends..

Well what a month! I went to Ottawa (10 hour drive) with hubby to see doctor for his back and leg problems... seems hopeful but have to go back in the Fall. During that time my father who went in the hospital for a sore knee, was diagnosed with a heart problem and needed a pacemaker. So my father was transferred to a…
