I love this post not only for the honest humor of it but the reality of our getting started and not thinking we can do it and when we do we feel the glory of success ever so small. Good Job buddy

Hi Sherille! I'm Rhonda...I too have hypothyroidism along with insuline resistance on top of Graves Disease and Celiacs Disease. I had full knee replacement surgery on the right leg and more than likely will have to have the other one done too. All of which cause and hinder weight loss and the ability to do exercise. I…

Age: 55 Height 5'5" SW: 293 CW: 211 GW: 180 been at this for about 2 years now and I have just stayed slow and consistent. So looking forward to Onderland! It is just around the corner.

even though I cannot see your photos I think what you have done is amazing

Veggies and fruit. Nuts and berries. Air Popped popcorn. yogurt mixed with a tablespoon of peanut butter (yum BTW). there is so much. If you want to look at my diary you can. It is open.

WOO WHOO! WTG! You Rock!

I think it is a firm concessus across the board that none of us get many comments and when we do they are either very very sincere or very backhanded and far and few between. WE do definately live in a society of self conscience people and they are afraid to say anything because of the stigma and all the sexual harasment…

FANTASTIC AND CONGRATULATIONS!

We all were where you are at one time or another and you need to be extremely proud of the 17 pounds you have lost. I ws told recently to go to the store and pick up and hold the amount of weight you have lost in bags of potatoes to get a real perspective as to your success so far. Well let me tell you, I cannot hold 80…

AWESOME! WTG! You will meet your goal! It feels good to take care of yourself and once you have that feeling, you never want to lose it. Keep up the good work.

I love it! I did the same thing when I ran. Same as you, it wasnt long or far or fast but it was and that was awesome!

I agree with ontheground. I am Gluten free and get really tired of people asking if I do it as a "fad". It really is no ones business why or how you choose your foods.

you look fabulous! I have about a year to go too and I love it when I can see others achieving along the way! WTG buddy.

YOU ROCK GIRL!

you can fix your ticker by going into your settings and reset the starting weight to what it was when you actually began your weight loss journey. I had lost 25 pounds before finding MFP and it always read short of my actual loss. Another friend on here told me about how to change it. You have done a marvelous job at your…

WOW!!!!!! That is awesome! I cant wait to get my side by sides on here now! you are amazing!

this is awesome. Good for you!

wish I could have ssen your photos...they ahve been removed. But you have had a phenominal loss and you should be very proud of yourself! Is very encouraging. I have a long way to go and I am moving slowly but surely. I hope to be in onderland by Christmas! That is the only present I want this year. Congrats on your loss.

*NSV* = None Scale Victory, and boy did you have one! That is awesome! Congrats to you!

wonderful!

I can't stop crying for you and with you for your loss and yet know that your successes will be HUGE! I would love to be your friend and I am going to be there with you all the way. I promise!

My breakfast consists of 1/4 cup eg beaters, fresh veggies chopped (usually use 1/3 cup mushrooms, 1/4 cup green onion, 1/3 cup zuchinni, 1 baby bell pepper) what ever you like. I have used brocolli and asperagus as well. Sautee the veggies in EVOO (1 tsp) until tender. Put the egg beaters over the top of the veggies cover…

PHENOMINAL! Congrats!

WTG! You look great and I know you will reach your goal. I know I will too. Started out at 293 currently at 215 and want to be at 180. I've gone from a size 26 to a size 14 and cant wait to see a size 10! It may take me some time but I am going to get there believe that! Congrats on your loss so far! Now go get em!

good job! :drinker:

I'm going to try and tweek this a bit to lower the calories and fat and see how it tastes. Cause it sure looks delish! Same Mushrooms Same onions Spray butter for the pan and sauteeing veggies Same herbs I'd use unsweetened almond milk I'd use 3/4 cups egg beaters Same swiss cheese I will see how this works

sounds good to me. try it out and let us know what YOU think!

WOW! this is an awesome story. I have Graves/hyperthyroidism and I too take a daily synthroid. I however had the opposit affect of hyperthyroidism and gained 40 pounds in about 5 months and then the radiation treatments cuased even more water retention. I started out at 293 and would like to see the 180's one day, with a…

WOW! Impressive! Congrats! YOU ROCK!

you are an amazing inspiration. I am happy for you and look forward to that milestone myself. I too have issues with not seeing the progress in the mirror so I have a photo at my desk showing me how far I have come and remember it is not that far to go to get to my goal. Keep up the good work, I will!
