2020-06-15 Starting weight with MFP 239.6 lbs. I would like to start today and lose up to 100lbs. I would be happy losing 60 though.

I've lost over 40 lbs and have over 25 lbs to lose. Feel free to add me.

I had weight loss surgery last August 2015. I still have 25 lbs to lose to reach my medical team's goals, but would love to lose more. Any additional support/motivation/advice would be great!

I don't use cous cous as it holds very little nutritional value. I substitute quinoa for it though in all recipes that require it.

Cheese can be highly addictive and is not very healthy at all. Fat-free, low calorie cheeses can be a great source of protein, but better sources are available. I do like cottage cheese with sunflower seeds. Everything in BMW: Balance, Moderation, and a Wealth of Variety is key. It gets you where you want to go in style.…

I had mine 10 months ago.

I had Gastric Bypass RnY surgery 10 months ago. If you have any questions, I am happy to oblige. I am also a member of several support groups on Facebook & have a Pinterest Board on the subject.

I have been trying to give up Diet Pepsi for awhile now and find it extremely difficult. There is no nutritional yield in it, so why include it in your lifestyle? Also, it tastes very sweet and makes healthy snacks/beverages pale in comparison. Without it, you enjoy the healthy options more.

Need to lose approximately 110 lbs. Need to stay on track and remain determined.

Congratulations! What is your exercise regimen like? Any loose skin?

Vanilla protein shake with 1 cup frozen strawberries, made with spring water.

Duffslove: How has it been post op thus far? Congratulations on your new journey. I am currently on the waiting list for MGH. Thank you for the insights.

I am also 5'4, but I weigh 235 lbs. I would like to get down to 135 lbs. which is a healthy weight for someone with my height and bone structure.

Hello, My name is Nathalie and I am hoping to lose 100 lbs. in one year. So far since New Year's Eve; I have lost 14 lbs. I need to become more focused on my goals and exercise more. I also have to cut out the ice cream. :)

I had a ViSalus Nutritional Shake with 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries & well water. Is anyone else on MFP taking ViSalus Shakes?

I was born & raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Now I live in a small village: Otter Lake, Quebec.

Hi, I suffer through a lot of pain & discomfort to exercise everyday. I get up every morning determined to lose more weight and gain more strength because if I don't I am afraid of what will become of my poor, overweight body. It just can't carry the extra pounds like it used to. This time I will not allow myself to fail.…

Hi, I have over a 100 pounds to lose too. Feel free to add me as a pal. I've been on the weight loss/gain rollercoaster forever so I understand. This time I want to lose the pounds and inches for good. I would also like to regain my former strength & energy. My poor body can't handle this weight any longer.

I have Fibromyalgia & Arthritis & Hypermobility. Walking for 30 minutes can get uncomfortable, but not so painful that I stop. My chronic fatigue has just gotten under control because I began taking Ritalin which is a stimulant that helps with my ADHD. The Ritalin also helps regulate my appetite. I stopped taking Lyrica a…

Hi, I am just beginning to lose weight again. My appetite is finally under control as I have just starting taking Ritalin for my ADHD. The Ritalin makes me more awake, aware, & alert so I am paying more attention to what I am eating & being more active during the day. I even started walking my dog. Life is so much better…

Hello, I am a 36 year female living in Canada. I have Fibromyalgia & Arthritis so an intense work out regimen is hard to follow. I do follow the ViSalus Nutritional Shake program & drink Herbalife Mango Aloe Drink. I am a gourmet chef so I find it easy to create low-calorie dishes. I also try to walk at least 30 minutes a…

I don't know why, but I love it with sunflower seeds and alfalfa sprouts.
