What an inspirational story. I'm just about at where you started out by looking at your before pictures. It gives me hope. Congratulations now and on future goals you make for yourself, health and anything else you're setting out to do.

Christie, I think so; this sounds like a great group. You can add me too.

Congratulations on the 40# and that you have kept it off. That's encouraging to me. Where did you get that picture that is your photo...can't think of what it's called....you aren't the only absent-minded professor here, lol. Add me as a friend if you want, it's always good to have more friends and I'll add you.

What are IPAs? Will you be my friend too?

Hi, my name is Debbie. I am so sorry all of your friends are gone, but I bet they are out of town are something and haven't dropped you. I too have downed 25# as off today and am so excited, but unlike you I have alot more to lose, so I'm going to need people here longer than you will. LOL I will be good for days then all…

Been here for about 5 weeks, but now I'm stuck within 3 pounds that I can't seem to get beyond. Need encouragement. You can add me.

Congratulations!! You look great!! I'm just starting out and will be looking eventually at the need for this. It's good to hear from someone who has/is going through it.

I am right there with you with the Ibuprofen plus Tylenol and an occasional Norco. I really like your picture, it's beautiful scenery. We can do this!! Debbie

Congrats!! I have some joint issues and want to move around more, but is painful now. However, it won't be forever. Have a great Sunday. Debbie :happy:

Congratulations!! You are awesome!! Way to go!!! :happy:

:smile: I'm right there with you, in that I need to lose about #125. I have tried so many things to do this and been so frustrated, however this is the first thing I've ever done where I really believe it can happen. There is alot of support here by people who are in our spot and understand. My plan is to journal every…

I've been told swimming, or water aerobics is wonderful. I've got a bad knee in general. I haven't been able to make myself start water aerobics yet, I'm ashamed of my weight, and I don't want everyone looking at me and laughing/or worse, frowning. However, I do know it will be easier on my joints. Hope you're feeling…

Hi Jenn, I noticed it has been awhile since your introduction and I hope you are doing well. I have just joined MFP and this group. Just wanted to say hello. Debbie

:smile: My name is Debbie and I live outside of Austin TX. I have been doing MFP for about 4 weeks and have lost some weight and regained some back. I've discovered that when you lose wt and then regain it, MFP doesn't show the gain; just remaining at the most lost. That is a good incentive, but somehow I feel like I'm…

:smile: Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Debbie and I am new to MFP and saw this post. I like it alot due to everyone talking of their days and all that they do. I have been overweight most of my life (I'm mid-50's) except in my 20's where I was rather wild. I have a beautiful daughter, handsome son-in-law who puts up…

I am just starting this and have lost 14 pounds with over 100 to go. I'm finding I really like doing this and it is an incredible encourager, when I see I met the daily goal etc.... My biggest problem in the past, and afraid it will resurface, is that when people compliment me I begin to put the weight back on. It's like…

My daughter introduced me to this site. I work 12 hours/day, am the heaviest I've been in 25 years, and having a great deal of pain in my back and Rt knee. She told me of MFP and said she enjoyed it; and she had started it less than a month earlier. I've lost 14# in about a week and a half and we support each other with…

Congratulations!! You have done a great job and your daughter will be so happy. Think of the things you can do together, that you couldn't do a few months ago. It is so worth it. I'm just starting, but I'm very hopeful.
