You are an incredibly beautiful person! I love the fact that your husband slimmed down with you!

I am really realizing how true this is. I am working for the third year as a seasonal at a company. A couple of months after I finished my second season, I started this journey. When I returned to work for my third season I went back 45 pounds lighter. Since our season is only 3 months long each year (its for the state…

One of my "friends" user name cerakoala has lost 275. She's very inspiring.

Raw fruits and veggies - and lots of them! I looked at your diary and there it's sadly lacking in that department. Watermelon - alot of watermelon. It's high in water and very fiberous!

I've been trying to cut the sodium down. This website has been a real blessing and eye opener in how much salt is in items. I stopped adding salt to most of my foods and have noticed that I have a hard time eating lunchmeat, cheeses, most restaurant foods because they are too salty now. But I did look back at my food log…

Cut back to how much?

I wasn't given an eating plan from the doctor other than to lose weight. I track my sodium on here and am under it almost everyday. I also try to get my 3500mg of potassium thru foods since that's supposed to help lower blood pressure. And the medicine in hydroclorothiazide. I took half a pill the last few days and will…

In my neck of the woods it about double the price for the carton of egg whites verses buy whole eggs and seperating them. What I tend to do is scramble a whole egg with one egg white and then in the same pan I'll scramble just the yolk and give it to my dog - she loves it.

Actually I spoke with the doctors office over the phone asking if I could cut the pill in half since the blood pressure was doing very good and was told that's the thing that I need to do. I was also told that as the weight comes off more we can discuss coming off of it totally at my next physical - which should be around…

Hello Becca. I've been doing this since the end of September. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. I have just under 100 left to lose and try to log everyday with the exception of Sundays.

I'm looking to add a couple of friends to my list. I try to keep my list small and do purge most of the ones that haven't logged for a while or keep their diary closed. I am looking for honest input. If I'm having a bad day--please tell me. Don't just hit the like button after I've consumed 5000 calories

Congratulations! You have accomplished something awesome. I've only been on this journey for just under 3 months and set my goal for 225 also by Christmas and just weighed this am at 224. That give me a total loss of like 31 pounds and I'm totally doing the happy dance right now. How much more you must be doing it with a…

My 14 year old daughter and her sassy mouth

I have 30 pounds to go. Will be the 3rd time in the last 28 years. Hopefully I can stay under this time. Hoping to be there by beginning of May, 2015

Plain greek yogurt. I'm trying to avoid artificial sweeteners and the fruity flavored ones are way to high on sugar. I'm trying to get used to the sourness. So far I swallow it as fast as I can so that I don't taste it much and then wash it down with water. My daughter keeps telling me there are tastier forms of protein....

256 pounds 2 months ago. Now I'm 233 with another 100 pounds to loose

Three times for me also. Lost about 45 pounds--gained back with tax included. Lost 100ish--gained back with tax included. Lost 120--gained all that back. This time I'm determined that it will be different because I'm not "dieting" like before. First time I limited my calories to 1200 a day. Second time I ate ONLY fruits…

You look absolutely incredible! Less than half your weight. Very inspiring:flowerforyou:

My blood pressure pill has a diuretic in it so normally I only drink 2 - 3 cups a day. Since I've been logging it make me more conscious of it and I'll have 6-8 cups. Good thing we have two bathrooms in our house:drinker:

Absolutely incredible! It brought tears to my eyes.

Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth. I'm new to this group. It seems like I signed up for fitness pal about 2 years ago, but I really don't know how I made that account because I never used it till maybe 3 months ago. After 2 weeks I let the busyness of life take over and stopped watching and logging. I need to get back to…

I'm fairly new to this. I see on my account that I signed up for this over a year ago, but I have no idea how I did that. About 2 months ago my daughter encouraged me to try this website telling me that it might give me the motivation I need. I "dinked around" with it for a few weeks and let life's busy-ness stop me. Now I…
