Definitely, I can say after reading the last 4 pages I just read, you have nailed it. Your child is a marvelous reflection of a loving father who has done one hell of a job raising him. This was just such a moving story and your child sounds amazing.

Amazing transformation! The handsome face now has a handsome body!

I have started to decrease my bread intake due to the fact that bread just really is not that good for you and definitely is bad for husband and diabetes. I fix sandwiches in wheat, low carb tortillas that have 18 grams carbs but 12 of those grams are fiber so you can say 6 grams of carbs vs. eating one piece of bread at…

You are beautiful and so much more than that image you are looking at in the mirror. I would agree that those blogs are something to stay away from because they distort the truth and I know....I lost a friend to that horrible sickness and that is just what it is...an illness. Pursue something healthy with vigor like a…

Yes...open up diary and friend me if you like what I wrote you. Jane in Montana

I am in a hospital program. This has worked for me but I AM NOT an expert. I have to watch the Fat grams for this "Fit For Life" program. We have a dietician, nurse, physical trainer and doctors on board. I try to keep my fat grams to 50 g/day. I also try to keep carbs around 150. I exercise 45-60 minutes AT LEAST 5…

I own the HRM-7 and the Fitbit and love them both. My Polar HRM is also a watch and though not the prettiest...it lights up at night too. So....you are getting a watch. I agree with above posts that it is important to know your actual calories burnt. MFP was giving me a much higher number and if I went with their number, I…

Sorry pal, I was working all day yesterday so this is the quickest I could think about it and reply. I always carry bear spray, a knife, water sometimes, a phone, Kleenex/paper towel and I usually walk with a long stick that has a spear on the end. This last item is because there are a lot of dogs that run loose out here…

You go girl! And if you need another supportive buddy....though older.....I would be delighted! I love dance! I want you to be able to teach it again! You deserve that! Jane in Montana

God...I needed that one...LOL! Yeah....I am a bit pissed that I spent so much money on those d--- Victoria Secret bras and also....my leggings kept falling down the other day....I was literally holding them up all the way to the car. I am now going through all my "fat clothes" and getting rid of them before I am picked up…

Some times life is not fair. I can't do the things I used to do. Somebody hung a 400 lb swing wrong and it collapsed on my foot leaving me with a Lisfranc fractured foot (4-5 breaks). I didn't walk for a long time but used a scooter. Not too long after I recovered, I had another accident and needed knee surgery.…

Totally buff! Looking very beautiful! JH

Goshhh! GOSH! You look really buff! Wonderful story for both of you! Jane

This sounds like a ? for your doctor. Your monitor should be one of high quality and accurate due to your condition. Please only take advice from qualified listeners. JH

Thanks soooooooooo much. I bookmarked this page and as you know....I am trying to help my husband. You are a great friend and have helped me understand things. I really appreciate you! Jane in Montana

You've earned the new pants Cindy. Congratulations! I am very happy for you. Jane

Yes....refreshing to hear this friend! You look amazing and young but even better is how you are feeling. You rock big time!

GOLL DARN! That is a great photo!

This was an amazing story. Very inspirational! I will keep all MFP friends very close! Jane in Montana

Thanks everyone! You made my day....all these up-lifting comments really....it is like walking on clouds! Jane in Montana

Well...you gave me the courage to post! Yes! It might not be a lot of weight off our bodies yet but needing a different size clothing is HUGE! Congratulations! Jane

I am in a hospital program....we weigh once/week. Go try on old clothes....throw the scale out the window and then go find it once a week at the most! Jane

Yeah...drove me nuts when I plateaued after working out just like you! But then someone suggested I go try on some clothes that I hadn't been wearing because they were too tight. I did this and, WOW! I could get into this pair of shorts that I had put at the bottom of the stack because they crawled up my crack (sorry---but…

Wow! You look amazing....a lot of work on your part. Keep up the good work and don't forget us on here! JH

Ditto....BIG TIME LOOK YOUNGER! You had a beautiful, young face to start with and you brought it back. Amazing transformation!

Well...you earned it. You are proof that you don't have to join an expensive gym! Keep up the good work! Walking in Montana! JH

Step by step! You're going to the top! JH

I love "Cook Illustrated" squash soup. They do not discard the seeds but start with them! The curry variation topped with Cilantro and lime juice added to yogurt....YUMMY! Let me know if you have trouble when you Google it.
