England, France, Austria, Germany....always makes me want to come back home!

Good luck! It is a lifestyle that you have to embrace. I find it so hard because "socially" we eat out with friends and family so much and it is hard when I love the taste of food. Making good choices is not always easy and at times I just "plain get tired of thinking about it". Logging on this site has made me realize the…

Major allergies and I was given the candida; however, mingled with other allergies, it got so very confusing. I was constantly looking at lists to see what I could/could not eat. I tried it for awhile and finally gave up although I lost about 20 pounds at the time. I ended up with the cross reactive food list for the…

After two abdominal surgeries and two babies, no flat stomach in my future. I've accepted it.......

I am 5'11" and currently weigh 179. I have lost 16 pounds to date and want to get down to between 165-170. Anything below that and I look too thin. With frame and bone structure varying greatly, it is really hard to say what is normal for all. At one time after a surgery I was down to 147 and everyone was extremely…

Fishing...nah! However, anything on the water and associated with boating, floating, skiing or wakeboarding is right my my alley. That's what boats are made for!!! LOL

Not very good at that....however, I have started logging right before a meal and that helps me with portion control. "Seconds" can be a problem for me! We eat out alot and I do try to check the menu before going so that I know what I should/should not eat and the calories involved. I have a hard time being disciplined. I…

PLEASE take the first step and see a doctor! One small step at a time will soon turn into small accomplishments and it will make you realize how strong you really are. Fatigue can be related to depression or a mirage of other things. Some blood work and a general physical can be the starting point. Call and make an…

OMG....I have the same issue....POTATO CHIPS! They call my name! I had surgery about 15 years ago and had a very difficult time recovering and lost about 45 pounds. When I finally was able to eat again, the only food item that sounded good for weeks was potato chips and they have been an addiction ever since! I can totally…

My sister has it. She finally resorted to the foot doctor. He gave her inserts for her shoes and told her to NEVER walk without shoes on her feet...even getting up at night to go to the restroom! Finally, he resorted to a cortisone shot and it is much better. She is still wearing her inserts and will for the next 6 months,…

I had the same problem. Problem was shoe size. Once properly fitted (a size larger) the problem disappeared. I was told that feet swell during exercise and that the shoe needs to be longer and wider in the bridge to allow for the swelling. Once fitted correctly at Runners Forum...the problem no longer exists! Good luck.

I am having the very same problem. I LOVE breads but have found out that they are one source of allergies for me, so I am trying to cut back...although I must admit that I am really struggling. I find that the Le Cusine meals or the Smart Ones give me another option once in awhile. The allergist also recommended lettuce…

I would love to be your friend! Add me if you like...I am having trouble keeping on track and need more accountability and support too!

Yes! Leave for a southern caribbean cruise in exactly 9 weeks!!!! Yikes...I have want to lose 15 pounds by that time. I know it is pretty agressive, but I am determined!

5'11" and current weight is 183. Ultimate goal weight is 160, but would like to be down 15 lbs by vacation time (caribbean cruise)! Add me to your friends and we can support each other!

I am 5'11" but have a medium frame. I am quite a bit older than you, but still an active lady who wants to look good. Just booked a caribbean cruise and would love to lose another 15 by the end of April! Any hints for the taller gals?
-
Good Luck....every pound you lose will be motivation for the next pound. Make sure you exercise too....that makes you burn more calories and keep your mind on track! Stay strong!

I'm 5'11" with big boobs and I have gotten that all of my life. People think I'm stretching it when I tell them what I weigh (180s). Who would lie about that???? At one time I was down to 145 and people thought I looked too thin. Is there such a thing??? lol

Hello, MFP is a great way to be accountable for what you eat daily and it also is a great way to give and gain support from others! I have had an account for over a year. I lost about 25 pounds but over the summer didn't log in much. I have been back on for a few weeks now. Good luck to you. Feel free to add me as a friend…

Enjoy it and move on! You have to be able to splurge once in a while. Don't beat yourself up over it....just get back on track! All is good....

WELL....A true BLUE COLTS fan! The only thing I can say....the lights didn't go out at Lucas Oil Stadium last year!!!

For me, it is a habit. Gradually work up to 8 glasses per day. When I first started keeping track of my water intake, it was impossible to drink 8 glasses. Now, it is easy as my body has adjusted to the amount. My mother was recently injured in an accident and they have pushed water at the rehab facility because of…

Hello and welcome! I was very faithful to MFP for about a year and then off and on for the past 6 months or so with some family illness and time being devoted elsewhere. Trying to get back on track as it is a great motivater and a good way to find added support. Feel free to add me to your friends...and GOOD LUCK!

I am 56 years old. 5'11" and weigh 179. My goal weight is 163. As you get older, it gets harder! Some days I eat alot and some days not. It is very hard to be consistent, but I strive for about 1400-1500 calories per day.

I am 56 and am 5'11. I began this journey at 195. I currently weigh 176 and hope to get down to 165 which is a comfortable weight for me. I am not interested in looking like a bean pole....LOL.
