Way to go, Cupcake!

Most recently, I have let myself go because of serious life stressors. I am no longer using those as a cop-out. I have to be responsible for what I eat, no matter what. I found food to be an easy way to "comfort" myself, but no more!

I have been fat since I was 8 years old, so the whole pregnancy/children thing isn't appropriate for me. Actually, I only gained 14 pounds during my whole pregnancy, and lost them and 10 pounds more after my son was born. So you can't make generalizations about this issue!

To me, "MILF" isan anti-feminist term based on the "madonna-*kitten*" complex coined by Sigmund Freud. Here's what Wikpedia says: "In psychoanalytic literature, a Madonna–*kitten* complex is the inability to maintain sexual arousal within a committed, loving relationship.[1] First identified by Sigmund Freud, this…

I'm so impressed! Wow! I have just started MFP and this is motivating me to take pics now so I can compare them when the weight is gone, as you did. The result is so dramatic! Way to go!

Yes, cake is OK! Just don't go overboard, and work it into your meal plan. Also, remember that exercise can give you some extra calories to work with. Denying yourself foods you love does NOT work. I love chocolate, and if I thought I had to never ever chocolate again, I'd go insane! So I eat sugar-free pudding or cocoa,…

Congratulations on turning 50, Lyssa! You know what they say, 50 is the new 30 .... NOT! I"m no Jane Fonda! But I am a young thinker and I am trying hard to change my life for the better. Best wishes to you in all you attempt!

Great advice, Tammy!

Funny name, Bacitracin. Just sayin'. :)

Good Luck to you Beb54! You can do it! I have some health issues as well (mainly arthritis) but I am managing to walk and do water aerobics. I find the diet is working well for me. It's a good fit, which I can't say about many of the other diets I have been on. Keep us posted!

Good advice, Marseillient!

We all have certain foods we really crave that aren't that healthy. I haven't even tried Nutella because it looks heavenly, and I know I'd be like you -- eating it out of the jar with a spoon! I have problems with anything chocolate. My solution? Don't bring it into the house. If it's not here, I won't eat it. If I really…

Dawn, I looked up the Dukan diet and didn't see the meal plan, but it seemed to focus on "phases" for weight loss. I don't see anything wrong with that. Whatever works for you, as long as it's safe! I wish you all the best of luck. You can do it!

I disliked Weight Watchers too. I couldn't get the points, either, but mainly I realized I was paying way too much for it, and also I was putting my weight loss program in someone else's hands. With MFP, I am in control of how I follow it, within certain limits, and I don't have to count points or anything like that. It's…

Wow, 78 pounds! That's great! Way to go!

Kristin Stewart's eyes are strange, like she's half asleep, and she is devoid of emotion. I don't get it.

What a great story! I too have diabetes (type 2) and I know the potential complications of being overweight. You reminded me how important it is to get rid of the weight!

Leo, I had to take some weight off before I could do any serious exercise, even walking. My joints were in bad shape. What I discovered, though, was water aerobics. It was something I could do and not be in pain. It's great exercise. I've gained some weight back, so walking is hurting me again, so I"m back in the pool.…

I got a laser D&C procedures for postmenopausal bleeding, and it worked like a charm! Haven't had a period since! No recovery time, either! I highly recommend it.

Thanks, Jane! My thoughts exactly!

Good for you!
-
Keep it up!
-
Good luck to you, Stacey! I"m in awe of you that you've lost over 100 pounds already! That's terrific! Keep up the good work. You can do it!

What I dislike is having to fill out online personality tests when I apply for a job! I find them unnerving, as if they're trying to throw me off and detect some major character flaw in the process. They ask the same ridiculous questions over and over in different ways. It can take up to an hour to fill these tests out. I…
