Anyone can add me too

I don't know the reason for it but it is the same for me. I would rather focus on the clothing size then the scale so I'm happy with it!

Feel free to add me if you like--anyone can.

Thank you so very much!

I'm into day 5 of a 14 day liquid diet. First few days I was starving but it's much easier now. Drinking tons of water (good practice for the future) and keeping my eye on the prize.

Starting MFP weight: 272lbs not sure of date Start weight for group 239 goal weight : 215 ultimate goal weight 175lbs lbs to lose: 64

Thank you!! You have helped me to put this whole thing in perspective and I will friend you!

Thank you! I actually got approved via insurance due to my comorbidity. My surgery is scheduled for 11/11 so here's hoping!

I can't wait to get my DVDs should be here any time. I also just started with Chalean Extreme which I LOVE. Can I do PiYo good even if I am 70 pounds overweight? Are there mofidiers with this program or will I need to do my own?

Hello! My name is Sandra and I'm from West Des Moines, Iowa. I joined the group because I thought it would be a fun way to ensure extra accountability. I turn 50 in september and I would like to lose 25-30 pounds by 1/1/15 OR drop 2 sizes, whichever comes first. I'm thinking about giving up the scale, which is why I say…

Oh my goodness thank you! Your words made me cry. Everything you said was true and is so much to take in and think about but I will. I've spent my life "shoulding" all over myself. I should do this, should be that....and to what end? I feel like I have come home with this group, I feel touched by grace here.

Thank you both. I have been to OA in the past and I'm exploring OA HOW. I think frankly the rigidity is something that I need. I appreciate your comments and the time you spent sending them my way.

Thank you for bringing some HOTNESS to my evening tonight! Woot! Nice work!

I like Jay Robb Chocolate and I just found some protein pudding! Yum!

Is there a local support group where you live? I will be getting sleeved some time this year. I have some support but not a ton. I recognize that as people we have limitations so my opportunity is to meet people like in this group that have had the surgery and can be supportive and also join my local support group. I hear…

It may be an occupational hazard for me but I'm used to rude and arrogant people. Or what I PERCEIVE to be rude and arrogant. I basically let it roll off my back because I personally don't want to carry around my PERCEPTION of negative energy and let it weigh me down. And...I have gotten awesome advice from some people…

Thank you!!

Ok sorry. I am trying to figure out if doing my strength training routine AND doing cardio where I am using light weights hurts me in any way.

Heavy being a relative term yes. :smile: I have a routine I go through that takes about a half hour. I've been doing it about a month and have a lot to learn, hence my question. I am doing walking/running/elliptical the same days (i'm still refining my routine) but I really get motivated by my cardio workouts that have…

It looks that way but no, sorry. Weights and cardio workouts on same day....thanks.

Wow I love this

Truth! Amazing group, amazing help!

Thank you so much!

HAHA awesome!

I don't claim to be an expert. I'm an average person trying to lose weight. I certainly know I have so much to learn still and really appreciate your perspective! I guess I was just trying to illustrate that I am finding I can't always rely on what I assume I am putting in my mouth by reading labels. Of course there are…

great ideas here....bump
