I joined MFP about 2 yrs ago and was lucky enough to get into a group of women who are wonderful. They have been there to support me in not just my weight…
  • Thank you to all those who have posted so far. I have not had the surgery, but my dr. has suggested it may be the way to go for me. I am scared to do it, so I am trying, once again, to lose it on my own (going to WW - have lost about 20 lbs in 3 mos.) I need to lose over 100 lbs, so I am still considering surgery????? I…

  • I cannot write the first words that came out of my mouth when I saw your before and after pics, but a toned down version would be: holy freakin' cow! You look AMAZING! AND, you deserve to hear that over and over again! I can only imagine just how much hard work it took for you to lose all that weight, and to keep it off!…
  • Thank you SO much for sharing your story. I just got below 300 lbs (298) when I got weighed yesterday and of course this makes me very happy (At my heaviest I weighed 345 lbs) but to get to this point it has taken me a couple of years. I would lose the weight and then gain some weight back (you all know what I mean) It…

  • Hi! As of last Tuesday, when I got weighed, (going to WW) I was 307 lbs. My highest ever was about 345 lbs. I have been playing the "lose it - gain it back" game for months now and I am getting rather tired of it. I joined WW because I did have success in the past following their plan ( I lost 80 lbs - 2X) . Of course I…
  • I have been trying to lose weight for weeks now; first with MFP and now with WW. I have been going to WW for 5 weeks mow and only lost weight (4.5 lbs) one week, and all the other weeks I either gained or stayed the same! I showed the leader my food diary and she told me that I definitely was NOT eating enough food! I know…

  • My grandparents were neighbours with his parents. I knew him since I was a kid. When I was a teenager I had a crush on him and would always try and hang around when I saw him outside. haha. Finally we started dating and got married when I was 21! A lot of people did not think it would last - why? What I didn't tell you was…
  • Joanna, My Dr. has told me the same thing about getting a knee replacement. I'm 45 now and he says they only last for about 10 yrs., so he thinks I'd be better off to wait if I can. When I tell people this, they do not always agree. They tell me I'd be better off getting it now whle I'm young, but they are not doctors…
  • Good morning ladies! I just thought I'd jump on here quickly before my little munchkin gets here 'cause once Sam is here I am "on call" or he wants to go on the computer to play his games. He's 6 yrs old and I think, no I know, he knows more about the computer than me! I haven't really thought about my Friday Food yet. I…
  • Hapopy Thursday Everybody! Mollie - I think keeping a jounal is a wonderful idea. I used to keep a journal many years ago and for some reason I stopped. Maybe I should think about starting again. Sue - I hope today is a better day for you. I think you're right, sometimes we just need to take a day to just "chill" and what…
  • Hey! I don't know what just happened there, but I wasn't finished yet! Dumb computer - well, probably dumb me. I probably hit something I shouldn't have. So I know what you mean Jolene, yes, I talk or yell at my computer all the time. I'm just starting to learn computers now. I should have listened to everybody when they…
