I would guess 90-95 lbs and NO do not lose any more weight. You don't need too. If you lose more you will look anorexic.

Hello, You are doing awesome!!! My curves coach tells me that with all this heat and humidity everyone is retaining water cause our bodies think that since the humidity makes us sweat so much our bodies are losing too much water. So humidity/water retention and the sodium levels may be the cause but you are right where you…

If he doesn't want to go to the gym then see if he will take a walk with you or go on a bike ride etc. You could also start cooking healthier meals and if he has a refrigerator at work maybe he could take something from home to heat up. I would also start by just calmly trying to talk to him about his lab results and see…

Hello, I am a mother of a 24yr old daughter who has had a weight issue most of her life (just like her mother) and yes it was a lot of my fault for her being that way. You need to do the tough love.

I agree also.....I use to be on fb all the time but even though I have lots of friends on there nobody seems to want to chat. MFP pals are always here and ready to chat, listen or support me/us. I have been on mfp so much more than fb now. Thanks to all mfp pals who are always here for me.
