Hi. I am 47 had my first MI at 38. I started this at close to 150 pounds overweight last Febuary now only have 45 pounds to go. I wish you the best of luck on this journey.

Hi everyone My name is Tina and I am an EMT-B. Been in EMS for 15 years now. I have been battling my weight for 20 years now and finally I am getting somewhere on the weight loss. Wishing everyone a great day

Hi there craftybirdy! I to am from the Iron Range! I didn't get as lucky as you with my move almost 2 years ago as I moved up to International Falls. Home will always be the Iron Range for me so I understand your feeling.

Pat and anyone else feel free to add me.

Welcome! Good luck to you!

You can look up side affects of each medicine on the internet. It is the best way as you can check with your dosing. But a lot of meds to cause weight gain.

I just the opposite I want to be out walking in the storms the more lightening and higher winds the better.

Ornithophobia I would rather deal with snakes, spiders, bugs anything other then this

Snow=cold damn I want the snow but not the cold.

Actually that is also dependant on the heat of the fire pushing it and the winds that the fire is creating.

This is the youtube video of her response. I think that the person who sent the email is in the wrong. She loooks in the mirror everyday and knows what she looks like. A bully is a bully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUOpqd0rQSo&sns=fb

I think it would be safe to say that the uncertainty of it all has to be the biggest obstacle. You don't know when you are going to eat so when you get the chance to it is something fast and you gulp it down, As for exercise you have to try to do it after your shift if you can still stand up.

Best of luck to you on this journey! I know you can do this. MFP is a great place to get support.

So how do you expect to eat low carb and low fat? It sounds like you're looking for an impossible diet. Carbohydrates and fat are the body's main sources of energy, if you aren't eating one, you need to be eating the other. As for psychological effects, you don't have to "believe it." Do some research, carbs help regulate…

I have been doing low carbs for over 8 months now and it works for me I have great workouts and probably more energy then a lot of people I know. What I do try to do is make what carbs I take in healthy carbs I also watch my fat intake. So far so good.

you ok in both dresses but that black dress hands down is the one you should wear.

I had lost probably around 30 before anyone said anything. But as I have lost more it turns out the people I interact with the most were aftraid to say anything because I started losing after a really bad month with my health so they thought I was really sick. But I ga lot of comments now.

Your story is an inspiration to others. So happy you are fighting this. Congrats to your wife and yourself on the loss

Best of luck to you. It is a journey that is well worth all the bumps, hills, and detours that are taken. Support is so important during this journey. I was in your shoes 8 months ago I almost gave up on life instead I came out fighting and so happy I did.

I saw a lot of sugary food that might be part of the problem.

I have given up a lot of things on this journey, but take my coffee away and someone will die. there are to many nights were I don't get to sleep like a normal person, coffee is my friend.

Hi all my name is Tina and I live in Minnesota right up on the border to Canada. In a town that is called the "Ice Box of the Nation" . Actually for all that Bullwinkle and Rocky this is the town Frostbite Falls was named after.

Getting support from others going through the same thing as youare is very important. I would of never gotten this far without the support I have gotten from other people that are or have gone through this journey. When I started to falter I joined MFP as soon as I learned about it and it has been a great tool for me and a…

Nursie, support is the one thing we need to complete this journey. It is probably the hardest journey we will have to travel. I am here for you. I have lost this weight through diet and exercise. Walking being one of the easiest exercises that helps with both the weight and the cardiac issues. I have never let my heart…

Feel free to add me!

Time to invest in a handgun! If they are that gutsy what about the kids in the yards. Or a less expensive way is pepper spray and I saw one that is made to be held while you run!

My husband is a junk foo, chips with every meal pretty much. In the past he was horrible about my diests. But this time I stood my ground and he has come around. I don't ask him to eat my way all I ask of him is to be considerate of what I am doing. When we are out of town he has me pick the resturants now and so far is…

Now that is a commute

I don't know about shaving it off but a buzz cut will do wMy husband has thinning hair and he buzz cut it and it looks so much better.
