Hi my name is Kathy. I'm 62 and only have been meatless for a few months. I have always thought about going meatless but never did until I had to get false teeth and since it was too hard to eat I thought it was a good time to start. I find it interesting that I do not miss it. I lost a lot of weight on MFP a few years ago…

Hi, I've been on MFP before. I went away for too long and gained all my weight back. I don't know a lot about Parkinsons but hopefully I can be encouraging to you and then you to me. What's the 67 for? your age or could it be when you were born? or none of my business? I'm 62 and looking for someone that is not 20…

wonderful!!!!

string cheese is good lower in cals and you get to "play " with it while you eat it so it last a longer time. Also I keep single serving bags of pistachios around they're about 110 cals and are satisfying. Although that beer sounded good.

I like that goal, I have been thinking about it too. I believe I will feel better without it.

I don't understand why you are not packing a lunch to take to work. You are not losing too fast it is always fast at 1st and it will slow down. I have had a lower income for decades. Make soups and stews. They go a long way. I make a big pot of something then eat on it for a few days then make a pot of something else. I…

My mother was ery over weight and so is my sister. I was smaller when I was young but now I am really battling. I think of my mom and altho she was a good mom to me i don't want to be like her. Put a picture of your mom on the fridge or near the tv. when you want to be lazy think of her and is this the way you want to be.…

Thanks to all of you. I believe I heard what I needed to hear. maybe not what I wanted but what I needed.

isn't it funny that the person that started this has deactivated there account. Some people think that we are a joke on this site. They want to tease us fat people and have a good laugh.

you look great I know you are proud of yourself. you should be.

I have had a problem with hair breakage. I have been told that will go away after a while.

That's what I eat . They are good with everything on it.

This comment is no different than the others but just had to add my WOW!!

Honey I just read your profile. you read it and try again. there is a lot there.

I have been told that I am funny. Something about my body I like is my hair. This is a fun topic.

The ladies at work said something after about 10-15 lbs. One of the guys said something about 35 lbs down. this past week a whole bunch of people said something. when i am down 40. I have to admit it feels good.

this happened to me a number of years ago. I have since lost and gained weight a couple of times. I was walking down the street with my 2 small children and a woman came up to me and said "you poor girl 2 little one and one on the way" of course i was not pregnant. can't blame the womqn I looked 6 months along.

this is true. I eat everything but something just are not worth the calories spent. Like my bank account I have decide how to spend my money , I also have to decide how to spend my cals. Deep fried food I have to leave out to save cals..

I am going to the doctor in Aug. I will ask when I go.

you were a pretty girl at 275 now you look even better! can't wait to see you another 50 down. You must be so proud you did good.

I bought a olive oil pump sprayer at a local kitchen shop. I fill with oil and pump it and i can spray it will no bad stuff.

I weigh once a week on thursdays. I use the scale at work so I am dressed with work shoes on. The scale at work does not change mine at home gets different reading every time I step on it. I have stepped on the scale 2 or 3 times on a monday or tuesday to take a peek but except for last week i took my reading for here on…

consider this a pat on the back!!

he is right you do look thinner. A whole bunch thinner!!

love it !! what a great short story!

I tried the egg and bananna pancake too and liked it. I will try this too. sounds good.

I have a hard time with munching on weekends too. I wish I knew how to fight it better. The only thing I know is to exercise to offset the damage. I try to stay busy. It will be better when the weather is better and I am out of the house.

thanks for sharing this it is great!

I'm another one that is crying. great story it will make us all think about ourselves and how we see ourselves. you got a great man there.

it's right I have done it before. lost a lot of weight fast then gained it back. One time I kept it off a long time but after having a baby and quitting smoking I gained it back. The next time I lost it ,I lost fast and gained it back fast. Not this time. I need to change my life and remember i can not go back to the old…
