@firuzem I had my surgery January 24, 2017 and am doing great. I'd love some other surgery friends. I'm in BC.

Hi everyone, I had my RNY on January 24, 2017 so I'm almost 6-weeks post op. I log everything I eat and drink so am on here several times throughout the day. Feel free to add me!

LOL, I have to try it too so I remember how to do it. OK, so pink doesn't work very well and I have to remember spell 'color' the American way!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread and am excited to have found you! I'm a 46 year old mother of one, working from home and newly engaged to be married for the first time. My fiance is so supportive of me, whether I want a chocolate bar or want to exercise, that I've chosen to harness his positive energy to get healthy,…

Hi everyone, I wish this group was more active because I'm really needing information and support. I'm in BC and have my Orientation for the Richmond program next week. I'd like to know what criteria they use to determine who gets the surgery, how long others in BC took from Orientation to Surgery, and what I can do to…

@payntr How are you feeling? What did you do, or not do, before surgery that prepared you for where you are now? I'm scheduled for my orientation for September 21st so am a long way off from having surgery yet. I'm wanting to be in the best shape going in to the surgery that I can be - mentally, emotionally and physically.

Hi Michelle. I have my orientation on September 21st and am really looking forward to it. I just finished a book that explained the options, pros/cons and suggestions for success and it's all a little overwhelming. I'm excited though because I feel I'm ready to take this step. I, too, want to lose 10% of my body weight…

I can't believe all the action on this thread! Good for all of you for keeping hooked in. I've added a bunch of you as friends and if anyone wants to add me, I'd love to support and motivate you through this. I'm back on track after a month 'holiday' with too many chips and salsa and virgin pina coladas (pinadas). I wonder…

Hi everyone! What a great thread <3 I hit my goal and lost 51 pounds and over 60 inches in 2014. I have another 100 pounds to lose so would love to support and be supported by anyone else on this journey! I'm positive, active and always willing to help :smiley: Add me and let's do this!

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some MFP friends. I've lost 50 pounds so far and still have 100 pounds to lose. If you're interested in becoming 'friends' to help support and motivate each other, please add me. I login every day and have an open diary. I also lead a group on Facebook called Clearly Healthy that anyone is free…

I'm in!! Met my goal on stage 1 - looking forward to setting a big scary goal for stage 2 :)

I've lost 51 pounds so far and want to lose another 100. Anyone feel free to add me if you're active on the site and want to change your way of life! I login every day, have an open diary and love to support and motivate!

Hello everyone, I'm glad I found this post! I'm looking for some MFP friends who have a similar amount of weight to lose. I've lost 50 pounds this fall and still have 70 - 100 more to go. It's a big scary goal, but I've taken the steps to make it happen! I login every day, I'm on Day 116, and have an open diary. I hope…

Hi there! I understand not wanting to count every calorie and spend all your time at the gym. I get it! When I first started my new 'healthy' journey in September, I just started eating healthy foods and I removed the processed stuff from my cupboards. One month in, though, I decided to really start doing things right. I…

Hi there! I need to lose over 100 pounds as well. Would love to have more MFP friends. I'll add you :)

My weight loss has stayed consistent throughout the challenge. I'm in a fantastic Facebook nutrition and fitness support group if anyone is interested. Reply to me or message me and I can tell you more about it. I have never done so well and these people are so motivating!

Day 17 is fantastic for me. I'm on Day 4 of the P90 exercise program and I'm loving it. I've never felt so inspired. I belong to this fantastic Facebook Group that has provided me with such motivation and inspiration, daily. My goals for this week are: 1) Continue P90 program 2) Walk mid-afternoon to take a break from…

I'm doing really well! I'm really proud of myself (patting myself on back now). Today was day 4 of my exercise program, after spending a year on my butt, and I've already moved up from 15 minutes to 40 minutes. Goals for this week: (1) Exercise daily; home video in a.m. and walk in p.m. (2) Eat ALL my calories each day to…

Happy Friday everyone! Great day today. Did my workout first thing this morning and it felt so good to feel my muscles tense from yesterday. I know I'm working on something now - I can feel it. Goals for today: 1) Eat more. I have been 200 calories under for two days in a row and I know that is not good for weight loss. 2)…
