Hello everybody, My name is Cheryl.I'm a 45 year old wife, mother of 7 great kids and grandma to 5 beautiful grandkids,(+one on the way in October). I've lived all over the U.S., but for the last 10 years I've called North Carolina home. I started all this last year on June 5th, with Nutrasystem , weighing in at 313.2 lbs.…

Mine used to be almost perfect but the closer I get to goal the more it is off.

You can do it! One year ago I needed to lose 160 lb. Fast forward one year, I've lost 124 lb and have 36 to go!

My favorite is chili. It's quick and cheap. I usually make it once a week. 1 lb ground turkey breast 1/2 an onion, chopped 1/2 a bell pepper, chopped 1 packet of low sodium chili seasoning (or make your own) 1 can crushed tomatoes (I prefer whole peeled tomatoes and crush them myself) 1 can dark red kidney beans (rinsed…

Welcome to MFP Anne, :) you've got this! I'm a wife and mother of 7 great kids. I'm not working now, but i'm going to school full time. I started here a year ago with 160 lbs to lose. I've dropped 123 so far, only 37 to go!

Congratulations! That is so awesome! Every victory counts. My goal for this challenge is to get to the overweight category, I'm still almost 6 lbs away.

I'm 45 as well. I sent you a friend request. :)

I know 10 years ago I would have considered weighing food obsessive and disordered. I now find it normal and feel it's becoming more mainstream. Like everything, it has to be explained properly to our children and probably everyone who doesn't understand the proper use for it. I agree that an informative nutrition class in…

I have 7 children, I feel your anger.

My husband is trying to gain while I lose as well. We mostly eat the same things, but I do have something different from him for some meals or I eat them differently, ie. dressings, added cheeses, side dishes, he drinks soda pop, or like when he eats tacos and burritos, I have a taco salad. It's not complicated.

I have a few friends that the juicing really worked for,(they have maintained big losses for over 2 years). I on the other hand tried it, lost 50 lbs and then gained back 70. :/ Since then, I've learned a lot. I've been counting calories,(eating food I like at a deficit) for a few days shy of one year. I've lost 122 lbs!…

Winner!

I think timing is everything. We've all started and stopped or stalled, but when the time is right, it just clicks. It sounds like this is YOUR time! Best of luck.

5' 6" 191 lbs. I started at 313 lbs almost a year ago. I've lost 122 of the 160 I needed to lose in order to get down to 153, then reassess. 38 lbs to go! :)

Nice dress and it looks great on you! You just need to wear your bra straps halter style.

Ooops! I have 6.4 lbs to go for this challenge.

Thanks ladies. :) I think we all did great. Too bad more of us didn't stick around for the end.

Got my baby grandson to sleep...Like a BOSS!

Every day for me too.

I just took walks until I could do more. I've lost 120 lbs in the last year!
