Hi and welcome. I have been on and off here for many years but pretty regular for the past two years. I have lost 140-145 but need to lose about 80 more. I would love to hear from any of you with what is and isn’t working. I have gone to a Whole Foods diet- fruit, vegetables, lean protein(chicken/fish), whole grains. I do…

Hi! I have lost around 140-145 lbs and have 80 to go. I am in the US and would be happy to hear from you. Best of luck. For me, tracking has been really important - even tracking the next morning when I have had a late night binge - not to punish myself but to acknowledge what I have done and the “price” so to speak.

Hi, all! I am 63 yo T2 diabetic on 3 types of insulin with stage 4 chronic kidney disease and severe asthma with chronic respiratory failure. I have been on and off MFP several times most recently for the last 4 mos. I have lost 101 lbs over the past year but need to lose another 101. I have nearly eliminated simple carbs…

I have lost 68 In the last five months so about 13 lbs/mo. I am also obese but if you go with a lower calorie range and push the exercise, you can do it!

Hi. I am new to this group but am glad to find others who need to lose substantial amounts of weight. SW: 371 (max wt. 396) GW: 200 would be good but actually 170 would be my ultimate goal CW: 326 Thanks for allowing me to participate in the group!

I too am new here. I just joined a couple of months ago. I have a lot of weight to lose and would love to hear from others in the same situation.

I am new as well and hope the group is open to me as well. I am 56 and also appreciate hearing from people in my age range. Although I enjoy talking to everyone, I think we have challenges unique to our ages and life experience. I have been using this site for the past three months and find journaling all of my food to be…

Good luck on the bar! My daughter took it in February and just got sworn in. Now the hunt for a legal job. I took the bar exam 27 years ago but I can still remember the stress. To relieve stress, I took walks with my 3 mo. old - the one who just took the bar. You can do it. Whenever things get to you just get up and take a…
