I'm new to the group. I lost 71 lbs last year just with calorie deficit but then I quit MFP and gained back 40lbs. I endulged in everything... wrong move. This time I want to not only do calorie counting but I want to exercise too. I've joined the YMCA and I swim and do water aerobics and walking and soon will start some…

Congratulations !!! That is an awesome accomplishment !! You Rock !!!!

save for later

I'm 5'8. I some how have a long torso and long legs ?? Starting weight was 200lbs, Now in maintenance at 129lbs. I'm over 40yrs old so it can happen, just keep plugging along ! Keep a positive outlook. Be nice to yourself. If you fall down, pick yourself back up. Try to get good support system. You all are amazing !! You…

How would I go about getting that calculated ? I know there are BMI calc's online but they vary so much. I'm more interested in my body fat. Where would I look to get this done ?

I'm 5'8, 43 yo and I weigh 136 lbs. My original goal was 140 but trying to figure out maintenance I ended up losing more. After I had my kids I weighed 125lbs so I think I might try to get down to that just to see how I look. I think I will probably end up coming back to 136 though. I really need to get more in to…

Congratulations ! That is awesome ! Way to go !

How very interesting ! What an amazing feat to take on ! I think it is great and can't want to read about your awesome journey !

I use to drink a 12 pack of Mt Dew a day, by myself for years :( I went to Diet Dew but the aspartame made me ill. Now I make tea with Stevia for 0 calories. Drink it all the time, almost a pitcher a day. I also wanted to say GREAT JOB on weaning down to 20 oz !! That is an awesome job !!

Awesome ! You are beautiful, then and now !

It sounds similar to the 5:2 diet. There are a couple groups on here that are about it. I've never heard of the updaydownday before.

Thanks for posting this. I have never been able to quit and although I do enjoy smoking I know I need to quit. I will be looking for this book !

I weigh 140lbs 5'8 and I wear size 6 to size 8 depending on brand of pants. Size medium shirts.

Hi, what part are you from. I used to live in South Central Illinois

I love me some goetta !! Northern Ky here.

Mmmm, looks delicious !

In for the info.

I've never seen anything like that before. Very interesting ! Is it like an E-cig ?

I got told that I need to stop and that I look sick ! I'm not even to goal yet. Close but not yet ! I use to weigh much less than this.

Here recently this has been happening to me. At first I was hurt pretty deeply, well really deeply to be honest...... then eventually I got mad ! Now, I just don't care because I know it is their problem not mine. They are not happy with themselves..... it wasn't about me at all. I am doing this the safe way, counting…

You look awesome ! Completely like a new person ! Congrats !!

I've lost 55 pounds = a 5000 BTU air conditioner. Working on an elephant penis ! Ok, i'm not literally working on an elephants penis... that's one of my goals :P

Love your posts ! They are always uplifting !

I went from a size 11 wide to 9 narrow.

These sound delicious ! Thanks for posting !

Ice cream ! Any kind of it, I hate it ! Strawberries.... gross ! Angel food cake , gag ! Most breads are nasty to me. Although, I do like some sweet rolls if they are fresh ! Okra.... slimy ! Although, I have never had homemade okra... maybe that would taste better.

Amazing transformation !! You look awesome !

Yes.From a size 11 wide to 9 regular.

My scale is in the kitchen because my bathroom has carpet. It is just a little cheapy scale so it isn't the greatest but I only use it once in a great while. I go weigh in on Mondays at the Extention Office on a Doctors scale and that is the one I go by. I don't weigh in naked though, never have. I wear a big ole pair of…

Pits are my favorite and I will always have them :) IN doors and part of the family !
