Great post. Thanks for letting us share in your success and happiness. Well done!

Pizzafruit Wednesday Week 1 PW: 275.4 CW:277 +1.6 I went off the rails this past week and I'm still figuring out why. I've started reading The Beck Diet Solution; very interesting. Not looking for a quick fix just a better understanding of me.

I always read with excitement the posts because of the different perspectives and the strong support. Often times when I read, I end up wondering why I'm not successful. Why is that? How come they can do this and I can't? What do they have that I don't? What is the secret to their success? In my trials and tribulations…

Hi Melanie! Thank you for the thoughtful response. I'm so use to seeing user names I forget we all have real identities. My name is Mary and I'm really looking forward to meeting the challenge. I had thought about doing Keto and then read up on it. Their program has you log foods too. Aside from my feeling it's too…

Hello all! I'm determined to get back on track. I'm married with 2 adult children ages 39 and 37. I'm a retired assistant bank manager and my husband has been retired for 28 years. We're a hefty group and I've decided I need to do a much better job of leading by example and more importantly, take better care of myself. I…

Please keep posting; you give others like me facing the same Covid/weight loss challenges hope. Great job, thanks for sharing!

Great, inspiring journey. Thank you for sharing your story. It's so important for those of us who have alot of weight to lose to see the progression of your experience and be reminded that this is possible. You look fantastic!

Very nice and so happy for you.

Of course you deserve this! Everyday day holds a challenge and you've met them head on. I used to think that I was meant to live my life overweight and unhappy. It's taken me years to turn my thinking around and there are days I still struggle with negative self talk. I have to remind myself often that even though I…

Even though the number can be overwhelming, seeing your post reminds me that it's possible. Thanks! :)

Pizza fruit Sunday weigh-in PW:274.2 CW:276.4 My apologies to my team members; last week was a bear. This doesn't justify the gain and it sure doesn't help the team's goal. I'll do much better next weigh-in.

What wonderful news! It takes determination and self love to accomplish such success. Continue to inspire; I look forward to your continued journey.

Congratulations! Thank you for posting and adding to my list of people I admire.

Pizzafruit Sunday, 10/11 PW:274.4 CW:274.2

Short term - I want to be able to ride my bike for 10 minutes while building to 30 minutes and beyond without any leg and knee pain. Long term - by Spring I should be fully recovered and able to take long walks.

I took a long hard look at recent pictures of myself and had nothing but negative thoughts about how I look. I couldn't find one thing I liked about myself. For so long every morning I'd look in the mirror and think and/or say out loud "I hate you". That in turn taught me to not see what was right in front of me; that I'm…

Wow! Determination really pays off. You're a great ambassador and inspiration. Congratulations.

Sunday Week 1 PW:271.2 CW:274.4 Physical therapy has been completed and I've been cleared to walk short distances and ride my recumbent bike for 10 minutes working my way up to 30. Here's hoping the fluid in my leg clears out for good and I can return to getting healthy.

Sending my deepest sympathy @simbersea. The loss of a loved one is hard whether it's expected or sudden. Sending prayers to you and yours.

Hi all! I'm returning after a long absence. I'm also in physical therapy. I fell on the ice New Year's Eve and surgery the same day. After a week's stay in the hospital I was in rehab for 2 months. Lots of sitting in a wheelchair and great food. Now that I've made progress I've been cleared for exercise and finally,…

So sorry to hear of your loss; it's never easy. You've endured and that's a victory. Only 11 weeks? It may not seem like much to you but the noticeable change is immediate. Great job!

So impressive. Brings hope and promise to all.

Congratulations, what an accomplishment! I'm back AGAIN, only 120 lbs. to go. Although I shouldn't be, I'm amazed at how quickly the time flies and how quickly the weight comes back on. Your post is an inspiration and so timely. I'm hoping to finally learn the virtue of patience. Thanks for sharing.

I broke my leg New Year's Eve day. It took me until March to get released and back home. Recovery was therapy once a day. The remainder of the day was spent sitting in a wheelchair. On one of my trips to see my surgeon I read the medical records the rehab center sent with me and I saw the words "morbidly obese". I was…

I had posted last week that my husband heard that UA was in financial trouble. I got a response stating that the rumor was untrue. These types of ongoing, unresolved problems makes me wonder how long MFP will continue to exist and whether I'll continuing using this sight.

There's nothing more encouraging than finding success stories such as yours. You have just revitalized my hope for success. Patience has never been my strong suite and you're living proof that it does pay. Thank you for sharing this update.
