I have lost over 50 pounds on MFP...I love it

At the very least a request like this one might include the profile...anyone can snag a photo to post....!

This post made my day. One of those that at 63 years old I was feeling really OLD. This humorous post made my day and I now feel young. Shirley in Oregon

Stick with your healthy game meat....it's the best. Shirley in Oregon

WOW...what a great way to start the New Year. I hope you continue to keep posting. Congrats on your hard work. Shirley in Oregon

You will do it! I appreciated that you put your height and weight. Including your goal weight was nice for me. Your journey is refreshing and impressive. Setting some goals for myself today being the start of the year and your post helped keep me focused. THANNKS Shirley in Oregon

Your journey and post made my day. I needed some motivation and your hard work and beautiful results did it for me. I spent the holidays binge eating most of the time at parties, visiting and whatever excuse I could come up with. Your pictures are documentation that hard work is rewarded. You are truly an inspirational…

You just joined MFP this month. My suggestion would be to go read previous posts. Great info!

Double or triple your exercise the day before and the day after. It's all a math game. Go light on calorie intake the day before ad the day after. Your body does not know your math game. Shirley in Oregon headed for Denver.

I prioritize my time to spend it around supportive friends and family. I make a conscious choice to avoid people who try to sabotage my weight loss journey. Weigh, measure and record everything I eat. Exercise and record it every day. Stay with MFP! Shirley in Oregon

He quotes from a fictional book. Bases his opinion on a fictional character and then we question him being vocal with his views. Why waste the time. What am I doing even responding...off to research some low calorie dishes. Shirley in Oregon

Absolutely! Divide 12 months into 70 pounds and it feels and sounds so much more reasonable. Best to you on your journey. Shirley in Oregon

No way would I do fast food drive up window.

I hope you continue to post. Bet your lab results are so much better! Great work...:)

At 63 it is very condescending when some very young person calls me sweetie or honey. Especially in the service world. I HATE being called Ma'am. I can totally remember the first time I was called Ma'am. It was at Taco Bell. I had just stepped in the door and the young girls behind the counter says "I can take your order…

I believe you are going to appear insane if you tip! Don't give women a bad reputation. Forget the posts about tipping...I have two women friends that are hard working mechanics and would be insulted if you offered to tip them...they bill you Shirley in Snowy Oregon

I go for a speed walk check my diary for the time of day the binging took place. Do not beat myself up. Start fresh the next day.

Yes I have experienced this ......those are the days I go for a walk and breath fresh air. 74 pounds leaves you with a new body to get used to. Not easy as I notice people treat me different and I react different. Sometimes with tears. For me the answer is exercise it away. Surround yourself with any supportive friends you…

NO NO NO .....nothing other than the smell of soap.

What was the first thing you changed to get healthy? Dug out the scales from the back of the closet. What was the hardest for you to change? To quit spending time with people who were not supportive. what is your start weight? 212 What is your current weight? 150 What is the best part of your journey?

My skin itches when I don't eat enough fat. TRUE!

Don't give up your other job.

And...you found this worth enough to share? Shoot I could go on an alcohol diet, or corn starch diet and loose weight. What's your point?

When I hit it I start measuring and weighing everything I consume. Usually find out I have been consuming more than I thought.

I am from Oregon and I can truthfully say "you will rust." Shirley

Uncovered....really....how about filling out your profile...that is a wonderful way to get started. I am 63 year old and have believe in MFP. It works. I always question those that do not start by filling out a profile. Just go for it and truly be uncovered. Shirley in cold Oregon

If you have to ask strangers then your probably not comfortable with your weight. Numbers are so minimal in my decision about if I am at a good weight. What are your Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure, and other lab numbers like. If your simply loosing weight to look good then only you can decide. Your heart could care less how…

WOW....great job and thanks for sharing!

It is the little black holiday New Years Eve dress and a great date.

Fantastic....there are not enough adjectives to express how great you look. Your smiles shouts out "I feel good to!" Thanks for sharing all your hard work. Shirley in Oregon
