I am so happy that the end is now in sight. I was surprised to hear that they would both at the same time. You are a trooper and have the great physician on your side. I am confident that you will do well.

Good for you! Keep up the great work. I would like to check the book out, never heard of it. "You can do all things through Christ"!

I am, and would be happy to be among your friends. I will send a friend request.

I don't know if this is a true plateau or what, but this is my situation. I was doing well right up to mid March. I would lose a pound or 2 a week, occassionally skip a week or 2 then lose 3-4 lbs. Anyway I have not been able to lose anything since March. As a result, the scale has fluctuated upward 5 lbs. In this time, I…

Good Morning. Wishing you well in your endeavors to better health. Speaking from my experience it is difficult, but doable. Just keep achievable goals before you. Remind yourself daily that you are so worth this! I would be happy to be counted among your pals.

Thanks Deb. We are doing it, and enjoying the journey. It's not easy, although there are some on this site who like to state otherwise. We know the challanges, but we're steadfastly working toward our goals. Thanks for your encouragment. God Bless! Noreen

Congratulations! Your hard work and determination paid huge dividends. Keep up the great work.

That's awesome, congratulations! Keep on giving yourself the greatest gift, better health.....in turn all of your loved ones have also been given this fabulous gift.

Good for you! Many of us have had similar experiences. I am happy that things just clicked this time. In my experience, determination coupled with the motivation that this site offers has made the difference. Continued success and good health to you. Happy New Year!!!

You look fabulous!!!! Keep up the great work.

Wow!!!! Congratulations, you look amazing!

I adopted a healthier lifestyle near the end of August, with the first big goal of 30 lbs off by Christmas. I have successfully met that goal. When Thanksgiving came, I just kept the mindset, that a little splurge is not going to derail my ultimate goal. I exercised that morning, I logged everything and still saw a loss…

Congratulations on all of your hard work and determination. Continued success to you!:smile:

Just allow yourself to grieve. My mom passed away in 2005 and I still think of her everyday. What I found most helpful, was to keep her memory alive. Speak of her often,little things that made her who she was...funny sayings, or habits ,relive them with others( siblings, your children/her grandchildren). Allow yourself to…

What an inspiration! You have done a spectacular job. It's also so kind of you to offer anyone of us support. Truly it is a journey and like any journey we experience an array of emotions. Some days you feel like you're on top of it, and nothing can stop me now to why do I feel like I haven't really lost anything, despite…

You can definitely see the difference and you look great. You have a slimmer more defined waistline, your upper body are in better shape....you have every reason to be proud of your accomplishment. Keep going girl! You are almost at your goal! YAY!!!!

Welcome! I am certain that you will find this site to be very helpful. Advice: Open your diary so that others can give constructive criticism, and look at others diaries for ideas. Set small realistic goals, and allow your mind and body to adapt to a new lifestyle. You will not do things perfectly, if you did you probably…

Congratulations! I just saw this and see that it was dated in June. I am certain that by now you have probably reached your ultimate goal. You look terrific! I can't wait for this day!

That's how I see it as well. Enjoy! Think about all that you have to be truly thankful for, and if you can do something for the less fortunate amid your holiday festivities then you have brought things full circle.

WOW!!! You look fabulous! You were always very attractive, but you are gorgous! I can't get over how flat you belly is, and no stretch marks that I can see. Oh if only I would be so lucky. Time will tell for me, but I have my doubts...flat tummy or stretch mark scars. Congratulations, you really did super!

My job requires wearing a uniform, dress pants/shirt, belt. I needed new pants, ordered them. When they came in I went straight to the seamstress for my usual hem. I didn't try them on as I have worn the same size for a few years now. Get home, try them on, too small...too small!!! So I had to order the next size up and…

Truly, you are not all that different from most people that have had this battle, including myself. You really shouldn't give up on yourself. You are the only person that you can truly depend on. Sooner or later, something is going to click and you will get a handle on it. My advise? Take small definitive steps and you…

Congratulations! All that hard work and determination.....you look and no doubt," feel " amazing! Thanks for sharing

Congratulations! You look terrific! Love the new hair style also...short sassy, highlights...very pretty!

Depression is a complicated issue, and certainly not something to be taken lightly. You got a lot of good suggestions here. Certainly diet, avoiding sugars is critical. Exercise allows your brain to release chemicals that will contribute to your overall feelings of well being. There is also a rhythmatic componnent that…

You know a thing or two about taking things a day at a time and this is truly no different. Support is also critical to ones success in this area of life as well. I would be glad to be there to encourage and be encouraged. I joined MFP 76 days ago and have lost 25 lbs. Feel free to add me if you would like.

Good Morning! So very sorry to hear about the circumstances in your life right now. Like yourself, I have been through the painful experience of separation/divorce. My husband was my best friend for 23 years. As is the case with all marriages, we weathered things, but despite your greatest efforts sometimes marriages fail.…

I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's response to this article. I joined MFP 76 days ago, and have lost 25 lbs. My initial goal was to get down to 150lbs, and that still is my goal but ultimately I would like to get down to 125. I am demonstrating a determined effort, and the results are a testimony of that. It is truly…
