I need active fitbit friends that will invite me to challenges :)

I started IF - I try to do 20:4 looking for more friends here on MFP that do IF

All you ladies are amazing. Very inspirational. I'm sorry you so going through all those difficulties

Please feel free to add me.

i just got mine and not really sure what to do yet- add me - I hope with time I will figure it all out https://www.fitbit.com/user/3BF8VK

Update : - A week ago lap band had to be removed. It caused too many health issues- complications. I had it unfilled multiple times I went from 4.4 - to 4 than 3.5.. than 2 cc .. and at the end it was empty for a few months- and still causing acid reflux , food was getting stuck because my esophagus got dilated and swollen…

Ps. in my case I'm the " good cook " and I have a family to cook for. Even with the band I continued to cook for them everything they wanted. I continued baking all the cakes, and home made breads and rolls - I mean I can cook, bake and whatever else you need me to do - I cook from scratch - and my family doesn't want it…

Jeremy.. I had my band July 2013. My highest weight was almost 300 lbs. I got down to about 218- than complications with the band started. while I had the band I started gaining bc I had trouble eating any kind of food and was fighting inflammations and all kind of other stuff I don't know how I managed to gain all the way…

AyaRowan- thank you so much for this - you really said some things that hit a lot of the spots .. especially the analogy with the " crutch " makes really sense. .. You are an inspiration - and you really should be proud of your accomplishments so far. - and you can do the rest as well. Yes some people lose it fast- and…

No - I didn't sense any " lack of empathy-" the opposite- I needed to hear anything positive - . I needed to hear another voice- beside all the ones in my head.. and I'm just thankful you even took the time to read that long story :) .. I guess we all are somehow in the same boat- we all tried and keep trying many routes…

Hard to belive- it's almost a year since I posted here - on this topic. Last time I posted here I was 251 - now I'm 230 LBs. But a big change is happening in a few days. - After many complications- and serious problems- I have to remove the band. - I'm afraid- and excited at the same time. Afraid of being again " on my own…

Thank you for replying - here where I'm it's few minutes before midnight- it's dead silence- and a very dark room.. Your response brought tears again - but at least - I can sense hope in your response and - just thank you :)

determined- strong woman -

Great post. Really you got better rewards than you asked for :) .. I don't have my reward list planned all the way down the road- just the next 15 lbs- i will reward myself with a new workout outfit and shoes. No food allowed - or anything food related. Unless it's some protein :) .. but really - rewards should be…

Thank you all for the support and encouragement . I'm glad for the ones that have understood my post :) . And the ones that are taking it the wrong way- hey people i still like you no matter what we don't have to always agree on everything. I mean there are amazing celebrities out there that have achieved crazy things that…

I get what u all r saying and I agree with it..judging or putting other people down isn't right .. but that is not what I have said. . Maybe it came across that way. . I'm sorry if I didn't know how to put it on words. . But now dine if you are judging ne as a person by one sentence that was taken out of context. Isn't…

Whenbi was chronic bulimic for 6. years I ate and threw up up to 12. Times a day. every single day. Appointment with a nutritionist who was a skinny small frame person... tells me she can relate to my problem. I ask .. how ? Oh when I'm stressed out I binge I eat half block of black chocolate. I m telling you I'm eating a…

Sorry for the typos replying on phone

I Didn't say all skinny ... I said at least those that I know perSonally. I know that there are skinny people that have their own battles. We all struggle in our own way. I don't judge then for being skinny. .I said what I said because it is irritating when a 120 lbs girl tells me .. oh honey trust me I know what it means…

Great job. But I would have to agree with another previous poster- you are never done- you have to maintain it or otherwise- it will come back- speaking from experience .

amazing story- amazing wife - amazing person yourself. I'm glad you have shared it.

Hi - you can add me ( and anyone else who is interested to add me as a friend ) I'm 33 yrs old - married - 3 kids - on " diets " all life long .. so I need motivation :smile:

please add me- I'm on and off this site for a long time - and each time I plan to stay committed.. maybe I need more friends to keep me going and coming here on regular basis. -

I have not been logging very often - but I have been working out and changing my eating habits. - It's been now 10 months since my surgery . I was 295 - now I'm 251 . It's slow- but it's progress. I don't like to log all the time because that makes me feel like I'm on a diet. I want to have a healthy life style. And I…

I'm 5.6" - and I was at 295 Last year July 4. July 5 of 2013 - had Lap Band done. Now I'm at 251 lbs ( almost 10 months later - meaning I have been losing about 4 lbs per month ) .. it is slow but at least in the right direction - . Without the band I would be prob. 350 by now bc. I have been gaining about 5-8 lbs a month…

I completely understand where you coming from. Very insecure myself. But I decided to stop by this gym I hear about on the radio - the commercial kept repeating how they are - no judgment - no critic - place etc. and open 24/7 and only 10 $ a month.. so I decided to go in there and see how it is. To my surprise - it really…
