  • This is what I love most about MFP. People who have been successful at weight loss share their tips and encourage others! Your story is amazing and I am so happy for you AND for your family...I know this has transformed ALL of you.
  • Where did you find the infuser cup? I'd love to get one.
  • Do it for you...If he isn't supportive, that is an indication that really must DO IT FOR YOU!!!
  • I would like to address the comment about the "cost" of buying protein and fats for a low carb diet. I have found that I am more satisfied on a low carb diet. I am not scavenging for high carb snacks (like Doritos which are now $4/bag). I am actually seeing a drastic reduction in my food bill. A small container of tuna, a…
  • Accountability ALWAYS increases the chances of success! This program allows us to be honest about our decisions. And we have a supportive network of comrades who are either where we are or where we want to go. Yes, I do believe it works! Logging meals and snacks is a proven and effective way to change from mindless eating…
  • All I can say is..."You have really made a decision to improve your quality of life. HOORAY FOR YOU!!!"
  • Wow...I don't think I could manage on such a limited caloric intake! You have already accomplished so much! I believe you will find the support you need here. So many have successfully lost the weight. Most who have lost a lot of weight say that it is marathon...not a sprint. Hang in there. I'm sending you a friend…
  • This is wonderful news!!! My husband was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes about 4 months ago. He stopped eating all sugar immediately. I hope his next test is a s good as yours! I have also given up sugar to get healthy and lose weight. There is no downside to this...
  • Very impressive~thank your for sharing your story!
  • Just pondering your comments...and thinking how grateful I am that I enjoy shopping at thrift stores and antique malls. I don't know what I'd do if I actually enjoyed cooking???!!! Maybe you could make some new dishes and share them with those of us who don't enjoy cooking....
  • Yes, I have had one...mine was a "tummy tuck - breast reconstruction" following breast cancer and mastectomy. It is MAJOR surgery. Always weigh the risk with the "perceived" benefits. My body literally looks like a road map. You are much younger than me, but I can assure you I did not plan to have a C-Section, Partial…
  • K-E-E-P G-O-I-N-G!!! You look "mahvalous dahhhhling!" I love your commitment and determination...!!!
  • I am 100% ... IN !!!
  • Bikini...and that's how I look...in my DREAMS!!! LOL The bodybuilders all kind of creep me out...a little to masculine for my taste. I respect the amount of effort it takes to achieve the results but I just don't personally find it attractive. I don't even like the bodies of men bodybuilders. I like fit-looking and healthy…
  • Wow!!! I noticed IMMEDIATELY that you no longer have a double chin. I am thinking of how many women would LOVE to have this "side effect" of weight loss! I commend you for your dedication...it has definitely worked!!! Thanks for the visual encouragement.
  • That is a wonderful comment and something I needed desperately to hear myself. It is so easy to stay down...and it's usually because we are looking behind. I am thinking about all the other issues in my life that "resolved themselves" as I moved forward. Let's commit to an unbroken focus on what's good and all the great…
  • @kiramaniac: I reset my goals to the lower numbers and now it looks like I've eaten more than my daily fat allowance for breakfast. I'm so confused. I keep reading that I should "up" my fat to nudge my weight loss. After 2 weeks I have only lost 5 lbs. I figure that some of that has to be water weight so I'm a little…
  • I read the message on my phone and now it's gone...can you re-send? Thanks.
  • My husband was diagnosed with diabetes about 3 months ago...WOW...what a change in our lives!!! He was already lean but he has really stuck to the diabetic recommendations and he has already lost a pant size! (His goals are sugar control.) I really needed to lose weight so this was a great opportunity for me to get it…
  • Everyone on this thread can add me!!! I am very new to this, but in less than 1 week, I'm in Keto!!! Looking forward to success...I have a lot to lose but more to GAIN!!!

  • You are (and were even before) BEAUTIFUL! I know that a 35 lb. weight loss must FEEL great!!! I can definitely see a difference. I notice a more relaxed appearance overall...and your beautiful eyes are much more noticeable! Congratulations and best wishes for your continued success!
  • I'm 5'3"...grrrr...and too fat for high heels! But that's about to change...
  • Better late than never! I missed the firs few days...but since I just had my 29th Anniversary on August 14, we went out to dinner last night. I'm just getting started on the low carb way of eating and I need lots of ideas...I'M IN!!!
