Great success😊👍I just got back on this site and when I left it I was at a weight of 183 lbs but I am now at 137 lbs and feel great and love going to the gym and don’t miss all the fast food lol 😀

Ditto on FFDP!!! And Godsmack!!

Don't be so hard on yourself...you just need to take it slow and don't give up and you will find that those 3 minutes will turn to 5 and so on....I am a lot older than you and when I first got on the treadmill and stairmaster I could only last several minutes and was out of breath and felt like I was dying but today I can…

I am truly happy for you...I am fortunate to have been with my awesome bf who knew met me when I was over 200 lbs and loved me anyway but is also still with me and is so supportive of how much weight I have lost and mainly how much I have changed in my attitude and how happy it has made me...he stood by me, has been…

I work out at my local gym and I am starting with free weights...starting I would say 5 to 10 lb weights. If they feel very light then increase the lbs. Also, the machines may look scary but really they aren't...I would just make sure you check what weight is on the one you will be using beforehand...the person before you…

Good afternoon, I am going to be 54 in May and I have been losing weight continuously and it has really made a difference since I lowered my carbs to about 50 grams or so...I may continue to lower them but doing it slowly...I'm eating more fat than protein and do not have carb cravings whatsoever...at my workplace there is…

Good afternoon, I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble communicating with your parents...my middle daughter is your age and she has been working out and trying to eat healthier because she sees that I am finally doing something about my own weight... I know it may sound funny but can you write a letter to them…

Hello, I am doing about 50 grams of carbs a day and have an abundance of energy...about 3 weeks into it...are you eating enough fat and protein to keep you going and I find that doubling up on my water has helped out so much! Take care and good luck! Rose

Dear Rick, That is a wonderful story and I love the fact that you are doing this for your kids. I like that you say you never turn them down when it comes time for play, they grow up way too quickly! Take care - rose

several piercings but only 1 tattoo...an intricate chinese symbol on my shoulder blade:smile:

I don't:smile:

I am fortunate that when I drink I don't eat at all or very little, too busy playing cards or the slots lol....I will go to the casino for the weekend with my bf and I will probably eat a slice of pizza or a single chicken wing and drink my Captain Morgan spiced rum and diet coke and come back Sunday night dropping several…

I actually enjoy reading and getting tips through open diaries and I also get motivated when I see a weight loss post or someone has achieved a goal whether it's big or small and honestly I am very detailed and I like encouraging and motivating others to help them along their journey as they have helped me. I work…

I'm sorry to hear of your loss and I've sent you a friend request.

I will send you a friend request and good luck on your journey!

Hi Paul, Climbing the Andes was an incredible feat and I think you need to give yourself another attainable goal...whether it be short or long term...if you have something to shoot for you will start feeling more motivation and you've given yourself an incentive! I think you are doing great and need to keep going...I found…

Love ur pic:) Broccoli soup is very good but I would go for the pork ribs! Feel free to add me as a friend:)

I love McDonalds but try to avoid it because I always get a big mac with extra sauce and of course French fries!

That's great that you decided to make this move and feel free to add me as a friend:smile:

Good afternoon, I log in everyday but it has not been a problem or issue for me. In my case I like to see the daily/weekly summary since I really try to keep the sodium down...it has helped enough for me to be off high blood pressure meds recently. I have MFP's that are not logging daily and to me that's their choice and…

well I need to stay fit and healthy to keep up with my younger man:happy:

I love your enthusiasm it's contagious:smile: I love to workout but found I was not challenging myself enough, I was going on the treadmill and elliptical but after awhile I think your body gets used to certain workouts and you need to mix it up so now I'm on the rowing machine and I also am doing the 30 DS and have found…

Good afternoon Mikey, Very nice post and thank you:) I actually found that I made the excuse that I didn't have the time to workout and yes I work full-time and do volunteer work and a mother of three teenage daughters but I found the time to sit on the couch and eat, found the time to go out to eat so I finally made it a…

Hello James, If you need someone to support and keep you motivated please feel free to add me as your friend:smile: I have had continued success with using this website and also having the support of my MFP's...I do believe it makes a difference. I am sorry that you are facing such a major surgery but I do hope you lose…

haha

Hello...I read your inspiration and that is very endearing...yes do this for yourself and for your son:smile: Also, I know that your husband may really be a saboteur but honestly I would say that about my sister, my bf and then realize that it's ultimately me that has to just avoid or deal with whatever the situation calls…

I'm sorry that you and your husband are going through tough times right now and hope things get better. Buy vegetables and fruits when on sale and yogurt can be inexpensive as well as beans which are very good fiber and there are a lot of generic brands that are a good alternative...these may be things you know already…

great questions....I wish you all the best in your journey:happy:

I do the 30 DS dvd, on level 2 but also workout at the gym:smile:

I think whatever works for you...I count but don't find it a burden, mainly I track what I eat because sometimes I don't realize how much sodium or carbs I'm eating unless I actually see it on my phone....that's great that you can do without....maybe one day but I don't feel it's that big of an inconvenience and it's only…
