I lost a lot of weight reducing portion size and calories within my mfp goals, walking and resistance training, find what you like and it will work for you.

Woot! First Rhode Islander

Good luck and have a great week! enjoy that sunshine and get some walking in to feel even more fab!

senna,(teas work well), chia seeds, ground flax seeds,psyllium(meta mucil), prunes, figs,40+ grams of fiber plus more water, green tea, coffee, bitters..colace,enemas,cleanses..be careful, you may get some serious blowback

I do build the exercise into the "eat back", I have found my body likes its calories, and being diabetic, I have discovered to really cut back makes me tired and lethargic.

Hello! Im 5' .05", and I eat 1400-1600 cals a day, and I also exercise around 400 cals worth, I have lost 50 lbs with diet and exercise, and occaisonally, I do have a cheat day to keep myself sane, but have the determination to go back to the plan, I weigh 143 lbs, 20 to go! Good luck, it is very doable.

Hello, I am 48, no little kids anymore, but yes, it gets harder as we age because of menopause, shrinking muscle mass and slower metabolism, we are behind the 8 ball it seems sometimes! Just keep at it, and dont be so hard on yourself with the 1200 cals, it can leave you very hungry and cranky. Dont be hard on yourself if…

air popped popcorn,veggie straws, yogurt(light or plain) with chia seeds

It is so amazing to watch your progress through your posts. You are so inspirational, thank you!

10 sets, not 110 sorry

start with weights, there are tons of good ( and free) workouts for arms to strengthen and firm your arms, and never fear, you wont turn super bulky unless you want to be a serious gainer, triceps kickbacks are one of many fabulous toners to investigate, but you want to have harmony for all your muscles, a basic 110 rep x…

try some digestive enzymes..e.g.."beano" is really good for legumes, its not a magic bullet, but it helps your body chew through the tough stuff. Good Luck!

Truly a phenomenal transformation, cheers!

zevia soda is good; it does have a bit of the ":aftertaste" of super-sweetened drinks; the only danger with the Stevia-sweetened is that caramel color(cancer risk!).

I take a whole foods supplement and 10,000 i.u. of vitamin D, with extra selenium, zinc, and magnesium, I don't know if it's a placebo, but I have more energy, and feel fairly stable. Not ever to replace a good diet, I try and eat healthily, but it can be a daily battle.

Congrats! You absolutely look stunning! Thanks for the inspiration!

The old health scares..High Blood pressure, developed diabetes..sucking wind at the simplest chores..and not liking who I saw in the mirror!

personal preference, really. It's all important..strength training, flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, and optimal healthy dietary choices..a healthier new you! Good luck =)

A big thumbs up! Congratulations on your determination to get healthy! There are a lot of people who will cheer you on your journey! Let me say welcome. The emotions will be a rollercoaster ride and you will experience many things, just be honest with yourself and know that MFP'ers will help you along the way.

try using avocado instead of mayo..high in natural 'good' fats, some chopped raw bell peppers and cucumbers or pickles mixed in is yummy too..possibilities galore..enjoy experimenting! Tuna melts are great too!

Gogogo girl! Excellent!

Fantastic! Congrats on that awesome NSV!!

Ive lost 16 lbs on 100 mg seroquel daily..I guess everyone is individual. I am bipolar as well. I have been walking and stationary biking,and sticking to the calorie guidelines on my MFP goal suggestions. Good Luck!

you are looking great! Thanks for the inspiring pics!

How about a recumbent bike? easy on the joints, and you can put as much or as little effort to suit your needs, especially being asthmatic

Hi, I take Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism, and latuda for Bipolar, my goal is to to lose 70 more pounds, I've lost 10. Its very doable, I just have to watch my calories and exercise , and the weight has been steadily coming off at a pound a week. Good Luck!
