  • I am not there yet, I have a 22, 19, 13 year in the house so I have a ways to go. However, my 19 year old just joined the Army National Guard and will be shipped out to boot camp in November-January and I am out of mind at the moment. First holidays in 19 years we will not spend as a family :o :'( While I am looking…
  • ^^^ This just this, I was 260lbs, I have lost 72lbs and at 188 people are calling me skinny and question my desire to lose any more weight, yet when I was in my mid 20's and weighed 185lbs people would tell me that I need to lose weight I am too big???? funny how I was too big but now I am too skinny? Whatever, you are in…
  • There is no time frame on marriage... I married young 23 had my first son at 25 and divorced at 27... Take your time, be selective. Learn to be happy and enjoy life on your own, being married or with someone doesn't necessarily mean that you will be happy in life. Never leave your happiness in the hands of others. I…
  • when I started my lifestyle change I weighed 260lbs which is morbidly obese as far as the "charts" are concerned. I have since loss 70+lbs which puts me in the just the obese catagory and my goal weigh of 160ish puts me in the overweight catagory. So I would have loss almost 100lbs and still would need to pay a higher…
  • unless you have some kind of medical issues that limits your intake of certain foods there is absolutely no reason to restrict anything in your diet. Don't fall victim to the labels of "good" or "bad" foods. As with everything else, as long as you eat it in moderation and and it fits into your calories then go for it...…
  • my fitbit determines the difference between just taking steps and when I am truly active. I can have 5k steps from walking back and forth in the office but it will show 0 active minutes logged. I work a desk job so walk 30 minutes at lunch at a pretty decent pace and it will log that 30 minutes as active minutes or when I…
  • Unless you have an allergy or some medical reason why you can't eat fruit there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with eating fruit. I have a woman here at work who is the same way, she nit picks everything... "you know what they say about too much fruit" "you know what they say about drinking too much water" "you know what they…

  • Feel free to add me... 48 years old, started at 260 in November 2016, currently 188 with about another 23ish pounds to go... I say ish because that goal weight has changed three times since I started. It went from 199 to 185 and now that I am in the 180's I have decided upon 160-165... we will see how I feel when I leave…
  • I too have a desk job, I got myself a fitbit last Christmas and was appalled how little I actually moved during the day. :'( I too only get 30 minutes for lunch so what I do know is eat my lunch while I work, then take a 30 minute power walk during my "lunch" time. My fitbit also reminds me every hour on the hour to get…
  • Windshield wipers makes me insane... the sound of the wipers make me bat *kitten* crazy. Certain foods can not touch on my plate and I can not drink wine out of a plastic cup, it has to be out of a wine glass. :p B) o:) >:)
  • Apple cinnamon rice cake with almond butter are my usual afternoon work break... when I am at the lake house or at home I like to cut up a good sharp cheddar block, some green grapes, pretzel thins and or almonds and hummus for grazing... B)
  • Yes, YES YOU CAN!!! Congratulations!!! Your success and attitude is inspiring as I struggle to lose the last 20ish pounds. Great job!
  • I walk 30 minutes at lunch M-F during the work week. I do Zumba Mondays & Wednesdays and alternate Saturdays, treadmill the other Saturdays, Pound class on Thursdays. I am hoping to add a couple strength training days in there on Tuesdays & Fridays.
  • I use them... I don't drink them as shakes though usually just use them as a protein powder in my plain greek non fat yogurt bowls. Occasionally I will make a shake after a workout but mainly as an add to yogurt. I love them, my favorite is the peanut butter chocolate, dark chocolate and choc cream pie. B) I did some…
  • 99% of a healthy lifestyle is mind over matter. Well at least it has been for me. I started this healthy lifestyle the Monday after Thanksgiving. I chose that date because I figured if I was going to be successful lets see how I do getting through the holidays and the new year and did exactly that, not only did I get…
  • I really should be working right now, but it's Monday and well I am not rich so I must work.
  • I have a woman at work who has been obsessed over my weight loss... mostly because she has a few pounds to lose and hasn't been able to do it and because I have lost 70lbs so she is constantly giving me unwanted advice on how to "lose weight". She is constantly making comments about me eating fruit... You know it is HIGH…
  • You look amazing... I am someone who should weigh 140 (the highest of my range) When I started this lifestyle change I weighed 260lbs with sights on a goal weight of 199lbs. :p Obviously still considered obese but none the less it would be a 60lb loss. I got to the 199 (never thought I would ever do it) and decided that…
  • It would be great if you were able to make this lifestyle change together, most times spouse are NOT on the same page when it comes to things like this and unfortunately, until she is ready to make a change there is nothing you can do to make her change her mind. I would stick to your goals of losing weight and gaining…
  • Drink a big glass of water and turn your attention elsewhere. Get up, go into a different room, go outside for a stroll around the neighborhood or do a load of laundry, clean the bathroom... do anything else but think about the need to eat more pizza... Mind over matter is 90% of the battle.
  • I will be 49 in February and I have more strength and energy now after losing 71lbs than I did in my 30's that is for darn sure. I hosted a party over the weekend and saw family that I had not seen since Easter and they couldn't believe how much weight I have lost and kept saying I look 10 years younger and HEALTHY... I'll…
  • I have loss 70+ pounds since 11/2016 counting bogus MFP calories. I get creative and usually use the highest of the entries and try to find one with the green check marks. I don't eat back my exercise calories to account for the bogus calorie entries made by others and call it a day. Many people on here have been very…
  • Welcome... I started at 260, now I am 188 headed to 160... good luck! Poor kitten :D :D :D :D
