I'm still wearing the same pants size and enjoying the fact that they are loose. I did need to add a belt yesterday which was a great feeling. I have plenty of the next smaller size but don't want to be disappointed if they are tight. When my larger size is almost falling off of me, then I'll pull out the others. It is so…

Eat small portions of the vegetables to get yourself started. Maybe cook and eat a spoonful of green beans and instead of thinking you don't like it, play a game with your mind and say "I know this is really good food for my body, so I'll eat just a little." I use to plan ahead what I wanted to eat which meant eating high…

I'm ready, even though I am recouping from foot surgery. I'll do what I can!

May is a good month. My birthday is May 18th and I'd love to meet my goal by then, although it isn't very realistic. I'm healing from foot/ankle reconstruction, so my exercise is pretty much nil...although I started therapy last week, so I'm getting there. I began MFP Jan. 2 and have lost 15 pounds- even though that is not…

That is me also except I'd like it a little earlier. But August is probably a little more real realistic. Let's support each other. drinker:

Count me in! I started in January and already lost 13 pounds. I need 35 more to come off so we are going down the same path.

I want results NOW and I realize that is not going to happen. I also have been on crutches for 2 months, so exercise is extremely limited. I miss social eating.

Drink lots of water throughout the afternoon and then make yourself a huge salad without dressing or cheese. That ought to fill you up until morning. Possibly even eat a piece of fruit.

Do NOT go barefoot or wear flips if you shave plantar fasciitis. I was to have release surgery on mine (after 3 years PT) but I fell down the stairs and ended up on crutches. Mine got better after not exercising for 6 months.

That happened to me last summer and I continued to exercise. Then I noticed that the area between my heel and arch was swollen so I cut the exercise. I had surgery early Dec. for ruptured tendon after 7 sessions of dry needling which didn't help at all. The surgeon did a tendon transfer (my posterior tibia tendon was in…
