how do you post pics?

Iceman I can tell you success is the best revenge! Think past this because they will grow tired when you don't react to it. I'm sure some places could be more hostile then others but in reality just remember that people like that react in that manner because you are making them feel uncomfortable. It's like you putting a…

Healthy Food IS CHEAP....Fruits Veggies beans and whole grains are not costly ...Tuna chicken and lean beef is cheap!!! This is exactly my point... And good point

Don't be too angry Iceman. I recently went shopping with my mom. She likes to go to this hispanic market where the "less then middle class" go. My mom is from Ecuador and we've been here like 50 years but she still gravitates to these little supermarkets that are not national health "whole" food chains if you know which…

Awesome for you Dad... will be praying for you daughter. Thanks for sharing!

I'm a big Mac head. It's the only computer I've ever owned. As an artist I've always felt that Apple had the edge over PCs. That being said when It was time for me to upgrade my phone I did not get an iPhone. I have the Galaxy Nexus running Android. I love it! Everyone I know got an iPhone but for my son. He got the Nexus.…

I've been working out off and on again for over 30 years. Two years ago right before I learned I was going to be a grandpa I know I wanted very badly to get back into shape. I was at least 30 lbs over and on cholesterol meds too. When I stopped working out I and eating just the most unhealthiest meals I kept fooling myself…

Awesome and very inspiring!

Women are hot regardless of their weight. For that matter any person. I agree with Umeboshi... what's the point? Especially when you start it off by saying "Guy, be honest..." Why not just say "I have to be honest... I don't find whatever! Hey this post isn't hot!

nice flat stomach

I'm ready!

You are such an inspiration! Not just because of the weight but your other challenges as well. God bless you and continue doing what your doing because it's working. Family and friends become uncomfortable around 1) Success and 2) people losing weight, getting in shape and looking better then them. They are just projecting…

Sounds delicious! I'll have to try it.

I have know idea what you weigh, what you want to weigh... and by when you want to reach these goals. I can be "REAL" Boot Camp on you if you're really serious on getting results. I only work with those that are ready to make a commitment. If that really is you than PM me as soon as possible! Best! Patrick

Hi mustangmonie... Like you I'm in my 50's (just turned 54 this September) I've lost 30 lbs so far and looking to lose 15 lbs now. I did it I know you can do it! Friend me and I'll help keep you motivated!

Good for you and congrats!

A friend of mine who's only 26 yrs old just lost 242 lbs in 18 months. Incredible!!! Right?! He's had to deal with the issue your facing I'd be more than happy to find out for you or even introduce you to him so you can get all the answers your looking for. As you know with that kind of weight loss he's had to deal with…

Wow! Very impressive... Keep inspiring!

Wow!!! You transformation is very impressive. And you mad hot! Keep up the great work. Here's a link to where you can re-size your images: http://www.picresize.com/

Great advise from each and everyone. I have to agree completely with the exercise. You can lose weight with just diet but you will be much healthier getting in exercise. Plus you will be able to more and not have that starving feeling because you're going to need those extra calories for your work outs. As long as you make…

I'm more than happy to keep you on track. If you need tools and tips just drop me a line. First thing I have to ask and you don't feel like sharing it with us as long as you have it written down for yourself. How much do you want to weigh or size? When do you want to be? Writing down these goals makes it real... I can tell…

Congrats for taking the step... you can add me.

Hi Julia and welcome. I'm new here too and I'm finding everyone wonderful and very supportive. I couldn't agree more with lizziebeth102. It is simple when it comes to the plus and minuses. What can be difficult is not knowing what to eat or not eat. I've used a very simple tool that I'd love to share. It's a list of great…

Shorty doing great! You are truly inspirational... keep doing what your doing. I'm sure you've got people changing their lives because of you.

HI Beto and welcome! I too am new here to MFP. I've been steadily losing weight since last year and I'm looking at my last 15 lbs. I've been doing a combo of exercise and nutrition. I've gone through several types of nutritional plans and they are all pretty muched tied to what particular work out program I'm following.…

Absolutely inspiring! That's what I always suggest... small changes because they add up to less weight. You made what seemed to be a small decision and looking at for some it might be BIG and other SMALL. All it took was decision and you turned into a commitment to success! Great job... Can't wait to see what you look like…

When I go out to any restaurant I try to recreate a meal that I would make at home. Grilled fish, chicken or steak. It's it's sauteed I have no control over what they will be adding to it which would add more calories. The sides are also in your control as in asking for a baked sweet potato with out anything on it. In the…

You can add too AC. Don't play but my son does and I think it's an awesome game. Love the graphics and visuals. I don't have the same condition but have had my set backs. I've managed to lose 30 lbs and get off cholesterol medication. Along my journey I had to overcome several set back but I got re-focused and am making…

Hi Daniran, I just turned 54 here and I'm telling you we can do it. We can achieve our ideal weight goal. I'm new to MFP and I'm loving it. Like you I like encouraging others and in turn it encourages me. Here's to tackling those obstacles and overcoming them! Patrick

When I was at my heaviest (197 at only 5'5") WW did cross my mind and now I'm glad that I didn't. I have to agree with a lot of the folks on here that WW doesn't really teach you to get off processed foods. I not only started working out again (at the convenience of my home) but also to learn how to eat healthier. Ive…
