I honestly don't think metformin is working for me at all...

I'm trying to stay between 1500-1600 per day (to start) and today made new goals of 50% protein, 30% carb and 20% fats. Today after I had lunch I had only 10g of carbs left for the rest of the day.... I am going to eat healthy for supper and tomorrow change up my breakfast so there are less carbs so i can use them in…

I'm not in Ireland or UK, but I am a Murphy in Canada and always looking for new friends. :)

Amazing work everyone. I am pear shaped as well. The part I like least about me are my calves. Huge huge calves, I weigh a lot more than I look and it's because I carry all of my weight in my legs and bum.

I'm up for a walk at the Terwilliger Dog Park if anyone else is. I had surgery on both feet about a month ago, so I walk a little slower than usual right now and I need to break after about 45 minutes. But my feet should be healed in about a month and I should be walking a little more normally then.

It's great to hear from you all. I look forward to continuing my journey with you all. :)

Thanks for the responses. :)

How long did it take you? (Great job by the way)

You look fantastic!

Thanks everyone for your responses. Exercising is exhausting right now as I don't have much energy. I know I need to pay close attention to what I am eating and wait for my energy to come back after my feet are healed. Thanks for the idea about the turkey meatballs, its a good idea to have protein handy to snack on if I'm…

GREAT JOB!!!!! You look Fantastic! Way to go!!!

Thanks again everyone for all your messages... I was very nervous this morning as I went to step on the scale, but very happy to see I was down 1.8 lbs!!! But now I know that I will see my weight fluctuate through out this journey and to know its normal and not to give up. :)

I'm the one who wants to lose weight. My bf says he could lose 10lbs, but its not an issue for him. In my fridge I have pop (soda), in the cupboard I have chips.. I don't eat them, he does.. I am the one who cooks the meals in our home and I keep things healthy, but I dont deprive him from his real food. I make changes to…

I try to not eat much wheat and gluten. For the most part it might not be bread that is your enemy... Try gluten free breads and pasta's. And noooo, all gluten free stuff isnt gross.. There has been so many improvements in gluten free items. I have wheat occasionally, but I usually only buy brown rice pasta's as well as…

Thank you everybody for all your comments.. I did take pics when I started, I also took my measurements. My bf has told me that he already can see a bit of a difference (even tho I cant at all) I am going to take pics and measurements every 2-4 weeks and going to record my weight every Friday...

One of my favourite snacks is..... Put vanilla yogurt in a bowl, add in hemp hearts and chia seed with some cinnamon. I put it in the freezer as I cut up an apple (I cut it into pea sized pieces) then I take the yogurt blend out of the freezer and mix in the apple.. Its yummy and very filling... You can also add rolled…

Yes I have used it as an egg substitute. My boyfriend is allergic to eggs and so I will take 1/3 cup of water and a Tbs of chia seeds. I mix them together and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It turns into a jelly and then I used that as a 1 egg substitute. I have made cookies and baking and it turns out great!

Mine is soooo wrong.. My license says I am the weight I was before I gained all this weight. I need to lose enough so that my DL is accurate again...

So Awesome to see... I started at 215 and my goal weight it 140.. Its encouraging to see people with similar starting weights and goals achieving them! Congratulations! You look amazing!

I know.. I feel the same way.. O_o

1) Just adopted a puppy from a pitbull rescue 2 weeks ago 2) I lived in Hong Kong for 2 years 3) I own over 200 pairs of earrings

I just started 10 days ago and just set my goals. I took my before pics over the weekend (even tho I already lost 2.5 lbs since I started on the 25th. But I am just going to take monthly pics.. I wont see any difference in a week.. I cant wait until I start seeing and feeling a difference. :)

Try adding some honey to the green tea.. It helps (a bit). Also, I buy the peppermint green tea... Its a little better...

I had hoped for some replies from people with same weight goals.. (losing around 70 lbs)

I dont add my walking at all.. I just look at that as extra calories burned.. Like last night I walked (very fast) in between Bed Bath and Beyond and the Apple Store in the mall a few times before the mall closed and didnt record that. And it wasnt just one quick walk.. I parked outside of BBB and knew I needed to buy a…

I'm 30, 5'7" and 215.. Looking to be 140 again. :)

Congrats on starting!! I've been here 6 days now and just tracking my foods has made a difference already.. My goal is to lose 70 lbs, so I have a big journey ahead of me. :) But I will be 140 lbs again!!!!
