OK, then I live in sun shiny Arizona, USA...about 90 miles from the HOT city of Phoenix in a little copper mining town....no matter what time of year, the temp here is about 8-10 degrees F COOLER than Phoenix...what I love the most is that my town is SMALL, as I said....not a lot of traffic, no noise, I live in a little…

i am 61 years old, am 4'11" and got up to 219...size 20W...my best adult size was a 10, many years ago...my goal from the beginning (2 years ago) was to at least get back to a size 10....after that, I will readjust my goals... I think that I need another 55-60 lbs to be there...

the fact that I own it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well....for me it's a little different...I actually LOVE veggies...however, in the past few years my stomach and body has done some strange things...and now almost all RAW veggies upset my stomach...I do have a case of gastritis, I have found...I eat out alot, so most of the veggies I get are from there...I eat baked…

I have never been to one of these but I do eat out alot...I find when I'm checking the diary, that different restaurants, for similar items, have very different calories and such listed for the item...I choose the generic entry most of the time for this reason...I seem to be doing OK by doing that...have fun!!!

LOL, I know how you feel....I am a biller...

look, eating anything with carbs, increases your hunger...I used to take one (whatever) then I couldnt stop....I added more protein drinks, starting the day with a diet type (soy)....if you want to try what I use, check my diary for the name and google online.it is not available OTC...I have found that after starting this,…

I kept in touch with him though out my life...many years later, and after 3 failed and abusive marriages, we actually got together and had a relationship for 6 months or…

you know I lose only about 2 lbs per month, so your loss is really better than most of us...just be patient...it takes time...but stick to it...I have lost a total of 37 lbs, but it took me 2 years....

I found that when I limited my carbs (other than fruit and veggie) I was able to eliminate some of the cravings...but I also find, that if I start eating something like pasta or donuts, I will keep going, and going...LOL best to avoid them altogether, then you will have more control... good luck my abosolute worst is if I…

I used to be a 2XX and this shirt was an…

bump to come back after I have some tests.....I have had issues for 15 years so you never know...right now I am being tested for Celiac..I know this is different, but I think some of the issues are the same as you guys...

the first thing: I can now buy shoes that tie, and I CAN TIE THEM NOW...for years I had to buy shoes with velcro, LOL comments from my MFP friends...this ALWAYS makes me smile showing off my huge waist band in my pants when someone mentions I look like I've lost weight...this gets them everytime however, I am now faced…

HI, I used to drink coffee years ago because when I was married my husband quit his job and I had to keep 2 jobs to pay the bills... after awhile the acid started bothering me...I started using VIVARIN instead for the caffeine..and have used it for years...after 30 years or so, I found that ths was a little strong, so I…

WOW GIRL...that is so great!!!!

you are OK, we all do this...it is necessary for your mental health and continued success...as everyone else has said, just don't worry about it and go on from here...it was, after all, time with your family...I have days like this, and still am in a continuous, but slow, downward weight loss...don't give up, that's the…

thanks again...this time the spreadsheet is more understandable and easier to use...

bump again...I bumped this before and now it isn't in my topics anymore

for the last 15 ears or so, I have shopped at Walmart...when I gained the weight, I ALWAYS selected "JUST MY SIZE"...I am 4'11" and at my highest weight wore a size 20 pant, and XXL for a top...THEY ALWAYS FIT, EVEN IN LENGTH...I have lost 36lbs and haven't bought anything new yet, but it's about time...I did wear a shirt…
