5'9" 211#'s and I have successfully lost almost 50. Looking to lose another 35. I'm on here all the time. Feel free to add me. I'll support anyone, it makes a huge difference. There are ups and downs and having support helps you get through them.

How I think about food and I don't really mean calorie wise as much as how healthy it is. I have really altered my thinking from a "diet" to a lifestyle. I feel bad when I don't work out, not feel bad like guilty but my body doesn't feel good when I don't exercise. To sum it up, I am so much more focused on being healthy…

Emotional Satisfaction Scale BEFORE Weight Loss How did you feel about your weight, as in pounds? (1) Unsatisfied How do you feel about your current body image? (1) Unsatisfied How do you feel about your life in general at this moment? (2) Somewhat Satisfied How do you recollect feeling about your weight as a child? (5)…

I had the same issue with my ft4. When I checked the battery it wasn't tight. Fixed it and moved on. I now use mine without even wetting it. However, I live on the gulf coast and it is ALWAYS humid here and skin is always moist.

Don't let this frustrate you. Been there done that! Men just lose weight easier and faster. I can eat like a saint and bust my rear exercising, he can eat whatever he wants and more than me and lose at my same pace or faster. You just have to learn to not measure your progress against him. Continue to reinforce how much…

I had the same experience. But some of my new clothes that fit are so out of style they ended up in the work clothes pile. I am the smallest I"ve been since having my now 15 year old. Great feeling

Your not alone! We all need support. I'm on everyday and my diary is open to friends. I've been at it for 5 months and lost just shy of 45 pounds. Sending you a friend request.

FYI, we quit eating brown rice altogether and substitute quinoa instead. Lower carbs , it's actually considered a complete protein.. I even make stir fried rice(quinoa) with it. It's also quite easy to prepare.

You can add me. Lost 43# in 5 months (current plateau) and about 40# to go. I'm on multiple times a day every day. Occasionally I'll miss a weekend day, but that's rare. Sending a friend request!

Thanks for all the support! I think talking about my lack of motivation made me realize I needed a kick in the butt. I tend to not voice my struggles. Anyway, I took a weekend off- nothing crazy just not hyper-focused on the scale or logging etc... Seemed to be a nice break that kicked me back into gear. I have added in…

Anybody with this experience? What do I do to prevent duplication?

Other than my daily workouts I am rather sedentary. Trying to get more exercise in. I do measure my food and use a food scale.

OK, diary opened, however keep in mind I am approaching this as a lifestyle change, so I enjoy foods off plan occasionally but always monitor my calories. I am 5'9 and currently 215.

I've been a stay at home mom for almost 21 years. My kids are almost 21, 19 and 14. The older 2 are away at college so just my 14 year old is at home. This is my year to prioritize me! Add me, I'm on several times a day. Any else with something in common feel free to add me.

I love chinese food. My husband and I make it at home. I substitute quinoa for rice in fried rice,add in the vegetables and teriyaki chicken, substitute egg beaters for the egg. I have found frozen egg rolls in the grocery store for 120 calories each. It is great. We also will go to our local chinese restaurant. I order…

Any advice on what to look for in a personal trainer? I've never done this before so frankly I don't even know what to ask.

I like the idea of the comfort bike I was just concerned if it is flexible enough for trail riding. And I will definitely be purchasing from a local cycle shop.

Agreed, Chicken Picatta is my meal of choice. The bread is always my nemesis:happy:

Turned 47 this week and have lost 43#'s since joining MFP in October. It is never too late and so worth it. I can't convey how much better I feel physically and emotionally. Only wish I'd done it sooner. Add me, I'm on here regularly.

That's awesome! You deserve to feel amazing. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Count me in. 5'9 already down 42#'s, at least another 40 to go.

I always just laugh and jokingly say "too much" and leave it at that. Always seems to work well without coming across rude or revealing what I consider private.

Fall off, no. Hang my arms and legs over the edge... for sure! Hubby was bringing something special home for dinner so I was a saint all day. Enjoyed dinner without overindulging and then enjoyed a gourmet cupcake. However, I didn't really find the cupcake so saisfying so I stopped at less than half. It just wasn't worth…
