Thanks...it's not been as hard as i thought it would be except the site sure has changed. Mike really must have been working hard the site looks great.

Hi all, I've been away for a little while. I started here last July and lost 21 pounds. After talking to a nutritionist who gave me the advice that after losing 10% of your total body weight you should go on maintainence for 3 months. Well...this didn't work for me as over the holidays i gained 3 pounds back so now I'm…

Don't worry....there are two kinds of stress tests. One where they give you meds to stress your heart and one where you excercise to stress it. You will be monitored very closely by nurses and doctors. They will take excellent care of you and you will be fine. We will all be pulling for you!

Don't let it upset you. Someone at work asked if I was pregnant recently and this was after I lost 15 pounds! I had a blouse on you know one of those that are in style that flairs out a bit at the bottom. So this is no way a reflection of how you look. But I know how you feel....I would never ask a person that because I…

Started MFP on July 19th at 196 Today Oct 3rd- 176 I've hit a milestone! 20 pounds. My body mass indicator no longer says obese...woo hoo! 26 more to go.

Is there really anything wrong with snacking at night? I've lost 18 pounds since July and have not given up my night time snacks. I've just made sure that they fit into my allotted calorie intake. Last night my daughter and I watched a movie and I snacked the whole time. Air popped popcorn...and some red grapes and a…

Hi Ric, I quit smoking on March 1st of this year. I used Chatix which was a good tool...but the thing that made me quit and stay quit was myself. I did not and don't ever want to be a slave to cigarettes again. Also,...knowing and talking to other people who've beaten tabacco addiction helps. I also smoked for almost 30…

Wow...way to go viviakay congratulations on nearing your goal. And thanks for your suggestions...someone I work with suggested a day off once in a while. I have to admit that it kinda scares me...but I think that I'll give it a try....I'll keep you posted how it goes.

Hey everyone...I've lost 13 lbs since July 19th but not have lost anything in last 11 days. I've not gone over my 1200 calories and have stepped up my excercise a bit. One extra lap during my nightly walk. I've heard that this sometimes happens but I have to be honest it's kind of depressing. A few times i've thought why…

Hey...great topic. I have a lot of classic stuff. Queen...Rolling Stones...Tom Petty. That is the type of stuff that gets me moving! Though I probably just gave everyone a great hint at my age :)

Near Allentown Pennsylvania which is about an hour north of Philadelphia.

thanks....I didn't think of that , and I used to do that for my children when they were babies!

Hi all, I had some oral surgery yesterday and am having some trouble eating my usual (raw veggies and fruits) I need to eat soft foods for a few more days and do not want to lose any ground. I've lost 5 lbs since starting here. Thanks...you guys are great!

I've been on tis site 3 days and have lost 1.5 lbs. I've been staying motivated by reading everyone's posts here. It seems there are a lot of people here who are in varying degrees of fitness....some want to lose a lot and some want to lose a few. I think thats what is great. We can learn a lot from each other. Me…
