I don't know how to use photo bucket so it's my profile pic instead lol

I do, got diagnosed in 2001. I try to keep my calories about 1200-1300. So far... I am going ok, I would like to drop faster, but.. In time it will all come off I am sure. I find walking works well for me. When the foot drop hits, I don't know what I will do. Lol Best of luck!!!! Jackie

Hey there!! I was diagnosed with MS in 2001 (confirmed by spinal tap) as well as lesions. I had flare after flare for a while. Foot drop or ON is how mine hits the most. I was put on Betaseron and when that wasnt cutting the mustard they added Novantrone as well. I was quickly moved from R&R to secondary progressive. It…

I weigh in each morning... Right after I wake up and use the restroom. I don't freak if it's a pound or two higher than the day before though... If it STAYS a pound or two higher for a few days then I really tend to open the diary and see where I went wrong. But it doesn't usually stay up there. That being said though... I…

Awesome!!! I wish I could be that strong... I really do! I suck at the whole going totally on my own thing, I pray in time it will be easier for me... But at least I have this thing! Best of luck... You can totally do this!!

That was the same for me.... At first. But as another poster said... The old eating habits creeped back. Oh it was just a cookie here, a slice of bread there... Eyeballing weights of calorie rich food (pasta) and well... then there was my cruise I went on... I mean who diets on a cruise and after all it's just 4 days...…

I close mine when I know I won't eat anything else for that day ( usually after my evening fiber snack) I actually like the whole... If every day were like today in 5 weeks you would weigh ( fill in the blank ) it makes me giggle because it's usually wrong, but then I go back into my diary and put that number in the food…

Feel free to add me.... I am 44.

I sent a friend request... Congrats on your beginning!

Feel free to add me too!

Welcome... And you CAN do this! Last year I had gotten pretty sick and had to have several large masses removed from my pelvis and ultimately had to have the last 9 inches of my intestine removed because it ruptured. I really wanted to change my life at that point.. I was obese and hurt all the time, I "thought" I was…

Hi there.... Tips... Hmmm I think the # 1 tip is HONESTLY log everything you eat. #2 don't take everyone's advice or opinions to heart if they don't jive with your thinking... You know what will or won't work... But on the same note... Don't ask for advice if you are not willing to at least listen lol. #3 don't get cocky…

I too am restarting... Last year I dropped 70 pounds and hit my goal... But through the " oh it's the holidays " excuse and a cruise vacation.., I found 12 lbs under a rock and strapped them right on my belly lol!!! So it's back to tracking and counting for me too! Feel free to add! Jackie

I love the bigelow teas, vanilla chi is amazing and so is the raspberry'

I had a customer tell me " you need to stop losing weight, you look old now" or another one told me " you have no butt and boobs, you should stop losing weight, you don't want to look like a boy do you" I was like WTF?!?! I have 36d bra ( yes they are saggy as hell right now from the weight loss, but she couldn't see…

Started feb 2013....so 6 months approx

Of course I had my times that I wanted to shove an entire cake in my face and say screw this.... But I didn't lol. I take one meal,once a month to say screw it. But it's one MEAL and its only once a month... I just be sure it's a resturant meal (eventually I need to leave and the meal is over) heck, one time I did a pizza…

I actually mix mine with either vanilla or coconut Greek yogurt, not so much to cut the calories and fat.... But to cut the thick stickiness... I like to put it on apples or carrots and I thought it was just too dense... It's actually quite amazing like this.

Not castle rock but from another tiny Colorado town... Canon city here, so no walking partner.., but wanted to say hi!!!

Well I am 64 down and I have quite a bit extra skin. However, I am 43 so my skin is starting to lose its elasticity from age alone, then compounded with the loss... Yea it hangs. Working out does help, but I can't work out under my chin, my armpits, etc. however, for ME, it's totally worth it. I wanted to get healthy and I…

Yes I have and it pretty much looks like how I eat now... Only adding a few more calories to stop the loss. I love the way I eat now and I always feel full and satisfied. If I want cake or pizza or watermelon... I eat it. I just don't eat a whole cake anymore or an entire pizza... So yeah I have no problem knowing for the…

The BMR thing doesn't work for me either. I stay under 1000 most days... But I eat until I am full and when I am hungry I eat. I have been doing this since jan and I feel GREAT! I used to walk 4-5 miles a day, however, since the heat is so bad as of late I must admit I have stopped that. If I ate my BMR I would gain, I…

I would like that too, its difficult to come up with new ideas all the time ( No matter what calorie range your in) Sending you a request.... anyone feel free to add me as well....

Hello and let me start by saying I feel your pain... Really I do lol. I too have fibromyalgia as well as multiple sclerosis and the 2 together love to make muscles sore and talk about spastic muscles!!! For ME... Not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me, I just walked, walked and walked some more. When I first…

I have noticed the same thing, I was thinking mine may very well be from menopause because I was surgically induced into it about the same time I started to diet. I get gobs of protein thinking that would help, but I still see the clogged drain after my shower. When I had my hair cut the last time, I mentioned it to my…

I personally don't eat breakfast because I end up starving by 10 and I mindlessly munch on crap. I found if I skip breakfast then I am fine until its lunch time. It been this way for 20 plus years. My coffee and creamer is all I do for breakfast.... Take that away from me and someone will lose an eye!! Lol

LOVE IT!!!!! IDGAF!!!! I am 100% with you on these days! Gotta have them once and a while!

Honey don't you dare own the guilt someone tried to place on you!!!! There so so many stinkin know it all's out there, just let them be who they are (arrogant snobby butts) and you be you! If you enjoyed yourself and it felt good to take a break... Screw what they say. This is YOUR journey and you walk it however you want…
