I had a torn meniscus removed last year, and when the doctor did the surgery, he said that it was worse than expected and I had very little cartilage left and would definitely be looking at a replacement in a couple years. Knee still hurts, but after a year, amongst other things, I figured that the weight I'm carrying…

If you lost a lot of weight in your fifties, then you have to know that the first step is the hardest. You're the only one responsible for yourself. So you have to ask yourself, are you happy with who you are? Comfortable? Do you like what you see in the mirror? There are great people on here that will help motivate you,…

I grew up in Keyport, Monmouth county. Still have lots of family there.

Great, Great job!

The whole recipe is 1 serving, so 6 Large white mushrooms.

Pillsbury Toaster Strudel only have about 170 calories with the glaze. Might solve the sweet tooth and the desire for a warm baked good.

They are basically the same thing, Laughing cow just has a few more calories. I think it's 40 for Laughing Cow and 35 for Crystal Farms.

Duh Me, next time I make them I'll post a picture.

North Central Nebraska here.

Here's one I love, lite vanilla yogurt, whatever kind you like, take a pack of 100 calorie oreo thins and crumble them in it. Awesome!

Only you can prevent forest fires......caused by the friction of your thighs rubbing together!

Fantastic! You are an inspiration and motivation to those of us who haven't got there yet.

Here's the way I look at it. It's simple math. Once you find out what your BMR is, you know how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight. To lose weight, you need to eat less than that. MFP say I can eat over 1800 calories a day, I try hard to stay around 1500 and I never add back calories burned from…

I save a lot of my snack calories until after my evening meal. I'm busy at work, so I don't really think about it. One thing I really try to stick to is no food after 8:00pm or if I'm running late and to eat supper until later, then 9:00pm, but never past 9:00pm.

I'm using Wii Fit Plus right now! It's working out great. I started about 3 weeks ago and have gone from barley being able to do a 30 minute work out to a 75 minute workout tonight, and I could have gone longer!! It has done amazing things for my balance and posture. I had surgery on my left knee about a year ago and it's…

I don't know of any specific exercises, but I am using the Wii Fit Plus and it has a ton of stuff for balance. In three weeks I have gone from extreme leaning on my right side (I had knee surgery on my left and it's still not right), to being pretty much center mass!

20 pounds IS a lot! Think about it like this, you have removed four 5 pound bags of flour from your body. Helps you picture what you have been carrying around with you! You're doing amazing, keep at it and keep going down! You'll get there. Remember, you and only you are responsible for you!

Kraft light mayo isn't bad, or Miracle Whip Light.

You look absolutely amazing. Stop letting you mind play tricks on you. You've done great and you'll continue to do so as long as you stick to what you have been doing. Sometimes it's get's hard to not sabotage ourselves. You've done great, keep going.

Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm an IT Director at a hospital and I know how hectic nurse's schedules can be!

I have to agree, if it has a label, I always check it against what the database says. If it's wrong, I put in my own entry. If it doesn't have a label and I think the database may be wrong, I'll check a couple other sites to see what they say, and come up with what is most consistent.

Feel free to friend me, I'm older and fatter, but the journey is the same!

Feel free to friend me. I have along way to go and plan on staying on here even after the weight loss. If I can't get to a computer, I at least log my food and exercise from my phone and check messages.

Anyone feel free to friend me. I'm 55 and have long way to go, at least 70 more pounds.

Feel free to add me, I spent 20 years in the Army but I won't hold that against you! LOL

Great job, someone brought in a homemade coffee cake to my office the other day and set it on the counter right behind my desk! It was tough but I avoided having any.

Absolutely amazing!!!! You're an inspiration to the rest of us! Keep it up and friend me if you want, I'm looking to get down to about 230 from 342!

Great Job, we have similar profiles, but I'm just starting my journey, it began with me weighing 342!

Why?

Fel free to add me. I'll help if I can!
