  • First, make sure your husband takes the blood pressure thing seriously. His size may not have anything to do with it. I was diagnosed with it when I was in the Army and I was in the best shape of my life. The thing that motivates me most is wanting to live a little longer...but on that same note, I don't want to live…
  • Young or old, it doesn't matter, we're all shooting for the same thing. There are tons of friendly supportive people on here from all walks of life and all over the world. Some like me with major weight to lose and some that are already where they want to be but are trying stay there. Feel free to add me, I try to get on…
  • 32 oz of Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/2 cup baking soda and 2 teaspoons dishsoap. Work on my dog great!

  • Down 22 lbs is great. When I started I think my TDEE was around 2400. Since I started, I have been trying to stay around 1500 and I don't eat back my exercise calories. Since I am trying to lose weight, I'm using the exercise to not only get in shape but to help with the weight loss, so why eat back the calories? When I…
  • I'm 55, got a bad knee and have dropped 43 lbs since 21 Jan 2013 and still have 57 lbs to go. Feel free to friend me, I have customized my workouts around my knee and they seem to be working. Plus I pretty much do all my own cooking. Would love to give and get support.
  • It's like they say, You have to stop wishing for it and work for it. You have a great attitude now. But you have to stay committed. You said you take complete responsibility for your actions, remember that is an everyday thing. If you choose to sit on the couch and beat yourself up about what you're doing, or you choose to…
  • Great post!!!! Congratulations, you've done awesome! I can't wait until I can shop in those "other" parts of the stores!
  • Feel free to add me. This will work as long as your committed to your goals and you stick with it.
  • TDEE is the total amount of calories your body will burn in a 24 hour period based on your lifestyle. I tend to look at it rather simply, eat less calories then your TDEE, you lose weight. I pretty much use the same philosophy with the BMR. Eat less than what your body needs to maintain your current weight, and you will…
  • You're making great progress. Responsibility....you are the only one responsible for yourself. What you do, how you do it and the results you achieve are your responsibility. Believing in yourself will make you responsible for yourself!

  • Dorthy Lynch Fat Free!! If you can get it. It's a Nebraska thing, but they have started selling it in other states.
  • You look amazing and congratulations! Great job! You're an inspiration to the rest of us!
  • That's great. Those NSV's feel pretty good!
  • If you were one of the dogs, would you want to pull you up the hill? Great NSV!!!! Keep it up.
  • I don't know what works for everyone else, but I do not eat back the calories that MFP says I can have because I worked out. I'm trying to lose weight, so I figure I'm exercising right not for 2 reasons. First to help me get healthier and second, to help me lose weight. When I hit my goal, then I will eat back those…
  • Hell, I'm 55! I'm happy when I wake up on the right side of the dirt in the morning! Every time those negative voices show up, take a look at the progress you've made. Think about all the positive's that are happening because of it! If that doesn't work, slap them around a little bit and tell them to shuddup!!!!
  • Feel free to add me, I started this at 342lbs!!!!! Love giving and getting the support this site offers!
  • Feel free to add me, I'll do all I can to help you along the way.
  • Congratulations! I can't wait until I can get on an airplane and not to have to ask for a seat belt extension!
  • Feel free to add me, I'd be happy to try to help you along your way.
  • I started on here 21 Jan and have lost 36 lbs! I'm a fat *kitten* right now though. I started at 342 lbs. It's been my personal experience, there more there is to lose, the faster the start, but it will taper off as you go along. I too started without doing anything physically different for the first week and a half, and…
  • Hopefully a longer life!
  • Add me if you would like, I've been here just over a month and still have a long way to go.
  • I've been on here for a little over a month and have had, at least what I consider, great success. I would be happy the mutually support you along this journey. I spent 20 years in the Army, so I know something about fitness, and god knows I know dieting!
  • That post should have started "show me a person "without" an imperfection"!!!!
  • Show me a person without an imperfection and I will show you a living breathing fantasy. If you think someone is looking down at you, ignore them. Trust me, their "problem" may not be as visible as ours, but they have them. If someone says something about you should lose some weight, tell them you're working on it and move…
  • I'm an IT Director for a small rural hospital. Add me if you like!
  • Looks like you have a good attitude this time around. Feel free to add me.
