Been hypo for almost 25 years now. It's a huge struggle to have a loss and even harder to keep it off. Best of luck and hope you find MFP a great place for support and motivation!! :flowerforyou:

Weight loss surgery is a personal decision and one I think should only be considered if you have tried multiple other weight loss methods and were unsuccessful. That being said, if you are super obese and have co-morbidities (other health problems related to obesity), weight loss surgery is a good tool to help lose weight…

Wow, 39 pounds in about a month, that's AMAZING!! Congratulations!!!

Welcome to the group, Shanny!! Congrats on your surgery and getting those pounds off!!! May you continue to have great success! :flowerforyou:

Welcome!! Congrats on all your success so far!! You're doing an amazing job!! I'm so sorry to hear about your car accident, but hope that you'll be back to health quickly!! Meanwhile, hang in there!!

Ooooh thanks for the tip! I'll be on the lookout for that at stores. Oh wait -- there may be a problem -- there is more than one in the package, right? LOL I'm just saying, I don't WANT to grab a second one (or God forbid a third :noway: ), but it's entirely possible. :blushing:

My husband is notorious for going shopping without me and buying my trigger foods. I am happy to say though, that even though he bought a 36-ct. bag of my favorite bags of chips, I have avoided them like the plague!!! I am starting to look at certain foods and treat them as though they are POISON to me and my new way of…

So true!!! Thanks for sharing!

You are sorely missed!!! I hope you continue to check in with us since you've been a huge inspiration for me and I've received so much great advice from you!! HUGS! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations Angela and welcome to the team! :bigsmile:

79 pounds .... WOW!!!! You're rocking the weight loss Pop-pop!! :bigsmile: Seriously, congratulations and good going that you're taking your health seriously so you can be there for your family and enjoy more out of life. I've kicked up my exercise a notch (now that Dallas isn't pretending it is in the Antarctic) and I'm…

You have been doing amazing, and I'm checking out your diary to see how I can work in some of your good choices to produce better results! Thanks for being a great role model!! :bigsmile:

I'm sorry to hear you need injections to fix the iron deficiency. ohwell: Does your doctor have an understanding what is causing it so you won't have to continue injections for a longer time frame? Hang in there!! I am anemic also, but I haven't been back to see if the OTC supplements is doing the trick or not. Congrats on…

Thanks Tippi and Mollie! Exercise has never been my strong suit, but it is empowering to know that I CAN do some things now and it makes me feel better about myself. Great article on "escape eating" Mollie! That was really the topic at my last support group meeting and I am definitely becoming more aware of when I'm eating…

Howdy all!! Just wanted to post a little hooray for me today LOL. I surpassed my all-time record time on the elliptical last night -- 22 minutes was my highest ever, and I did 30 minutes last night!!! YIPPPEEEEE!! I am pretty proud of that accomplishment since, when I first started working out back in early October, 2…

OMGosh you got the job??!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! I know that is a big relief to you! You made me hungry thinking about your celebratory meal ... I miss seafood!!! Texas has HORRIBLE seafood in my opinion. LOL!

Right around the corner for you, Amy!! Congrats!

Welcome, welcome!! Glad you found us!! Congrats on your huge success so far!!! What's your secret LOL??

Well, I'm probably not the best one to answer since I get hungry about every 2-3 hours, but can I just say I wish I had your problem? LOL!! Maybe try getting a few more calories in each of your meals throughout the day so you're closer to your goal by 7:00 p.m. -- sorry that is no help to you for last night!! :ohwell: I do…

Congratulations Mollie! You're work is stupendous and your consistency is clearly showing up in the results! Truly inspirational! What challenges are you participating in that is helping you achieve your success? I apologize if you've mentioned it before and I'm asking you to repeat yourself. :blushing: I cannot wait until…

HEHEHE!! It tickles me to see you so excited, Mollie, but you're right!! I too love seeing that number pop up when I complete my food log. I over-estimated on something I ate yesterday and then found the actual nutritional information today and fix it -- it said I would weigh even less in 5 weeks! YAY!! That is probably…

I tried the anchor trick yesterday and was surprised how truly helpful it was. I wrote "270" (the weight I'm striving to get to this week) on my finger with a Sharpie marker, and every time I looked at it, I took a drink of my water. It was with me throughout the day and I was consistently aware of it. I think it really…

Hey Nicole! Glad to see you made it! :) So glad to hear that you're not vomiting anymore and that you've figured out what was triggering it. A size 8 ... oh to be in your shoes! LOL!!! I'll be glad when I get to a size that begins with a 1! LOL

Your progress is inspirational, John! Congratulations and glad to see you on here.

Way to go, Amy!!! Your meals sound wonderful and full of variety too! Congrats!

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been absent a few days ... lots going on in my world right now. Job is changing, hectic at home, etc. but I'm doing okay and I finally broke that vicious plateau I was on for so so long!! :drinker: So, hope to be making more of an appearance and getting the tracking done "consistently." A wise…

Welcome Joanne! Glad to see you made it! ;)

Hey there! Here is where I'm currently finding support on MFP: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/107774-wls-support-and-inspirational-information I look forward to widdling down with you'! :bigsmile:

Yes indeed, all of the above. I've posted several places that I'm struggling with a plateau that I've been on essentially for the last 6-8 weeks, even though I have a ton more weight to lose. I find that the more protein I get in, the harder my stool. When I was taking protein supplement drinks, I really suffered badly…
