Vancouver here, so emotional, we laughed, we cried and cried some more. Such a powerful gift they gave Canada. Joanne

What a horrible experience especially at this time in your journey. It's too bad you got a health care "professional" with zero people skills and no idea that us humans are not created equal. I have always been overweight but I naturally have great cholesterol numbers, my late husband was naturally slim and slender and his…

Definitely a tough decision. I have been through the loss of my husband then soon after my dad then several years later my mom. Each of those losses brought me huge weight gains. I am not sure how I would have handled things had I had access to MFP. I do know we have this wonderful tool but at the end of the day you need…

My son has a few tatoos most are not visible and I accept them, wish he didn't have them but I am the mom I am entitled to want him unblemished. That said he now has a new tat on his left ring finger - his wife's name in a pretty script. I LOVE seeing that tatoo, he cannot wear his ring (he is an electrician) and I love…

Most change is tough but better for everyone in the long run once you adjust to the "new normal" I haven't been there myself (had to adjust to widowhood - same but very different). All I know is my husband came from a broken home and as he heard once "better to come from a broken home than live in one" Be strong and good…

Thank You :flowerforyou: As an old lady with over 30 years of unsuccessful "dieting" behind me (mostly on my butt). I can't say enough to young (and old) MFPers that this is the ticket. And your rules rock. If only I had this technology 34 years ago I might not be here today. It's such simple physics and it's only when we…

This ^^^ and it never hurts to guess more than less with food (I do the opposite with exercise).

If I wasn't happily married I would ask you to marry me. I need to get obsessed again!!!

Jealous that you get to watch so early. Can't even watch online here. Now this is a book for woman rather than that 50 Shades of Grey -- sorry shouldn't be like that but I prefer my literature to be well written.

Just wondering if anyone else was looking forward to this series. Won't be on until August 24th here in Canada but it's better than the usual six month wait we have to do. So excited myself. Many years ago I was lucky enough to see Ms Gabaldon at our local Chapters. We all had a laugh when asked about the books into…

Bottom line your life you run it the way you want none of her business. That said I have to admit if I had allowed myself just to leave it at the outer package I probably wouldn't be married to my sweet man today. I remember watching this tall well built man with red t-shirt, white shorts, black socks and shoes :noway:…

So proud of you and I know the feeling. Traded in my hybrid for a cruiser a couple of weeks ago, been too hot here (I am a wimp) but looking forward to enjoying my bike as much as you are enjoying yours. In the words of Freddie Mercury - get on your bike and ride!!!!

LOL first world problems eh?? My problem is that I am now in the smallest size available in our plus size store - add to that I HATE clothes shopping and don't want to start looking for another store that will sell me everything from bras to coats - aside from department stores.
-
Ahhh thanks!!!!! I might have this figured out by the time I make my goal LOL Steampunk - done right you never even go near the water - except at shore. You have to jump out of these to go in the water. But then I am not terrified of water -- guess this would be like asking me to pick up a snake "they aren't so bad" NOT!!!

Ok not sure why the pics aren't showing BRB LOL
-
Pretty much all of the above but I did realize it, so does that count. To be fair to the theme of this post I guess my consumption of red meat has all but disappeared. Would rather get my protein calories from chicken or turkey. And who said Cheese...............mmmmmm cheeeese.

Ive bin so upset today loosing July I needed this laff....thanks!!!!

LOL I used to tell my son that we got it right the first time. Always went on the postive whenever we could :smile:
-
My son is an only child (not by choice but it's just how things happened). He grew up privileged but not spoiled, he was always grateful for what he had. He was never lonely, we had tons of kids on our cul-de-sac and when he wanted some peace and quiet he came home. I don't believe he begrudged his onliness but he and his…

I personally have my fitbit synced to MFP so that I don't have to do any manual entries for exercise. I know fitbit states that we can put in our time for cardio. I find that the burn the fitbit tells MFP is adequate. My opinion is that if I can over estimate on food and under estimate on calorie burn then I am heading in…

Coming in October to see your lovely part of our country :smile: Coquitlam, BC here

Just wonderful thanks for sharing, and I echo others, no way you look to be 290, you carry yourself so well and show such happiness now.

Ryan Reynolds and my husband have the same aunt --- he is much younger than my husband so he only knew him as his cousin's irritating young cousin.

Nothing wrong with dairy but yes soy is not good for us on synthetic thyroid meds. It can slow down the medication. Tea is also something to avoid, especially (yes I know) green tea. It's not the tea itself but the way the leaves are processed for tea. Also if you are newly diagnosed it can take months to get the right…

This is so perfect. You have done so well and I am sure you know that as long as we don't string these days together it's "ok" Eat it, record it, move along nothing to see here folks :wink:

Sighs - please don't listen to the part that muscle weighs more than fat - a pound of something weighs a pound. The advice about measurements is bang on though. It's not that muscle weighs more its just more dense, think of a bar of steel weighing a pound and then how many feathers it would take to equal one pound, Steel…

Last September when I started I had 70 to 80 pounds to lose. I followed most of the great advice you have already been given by previous commenters (slow and steady, log EVERYTHING). I am now at 34 pounds gone, rather stalled after a lovely vacation and no kitchen for almost a month. In all that time I refuse to stop…

Don look at your ticker, you have this. I just wish we could send your 'monster" on a one way ticket out of your life. You are smart, funny brave and one of the nicest people I have met here. I adore that you are my friend supporting each day and my heart broke to read this, but it was so important for you to put it down.…

So true

Hi Lisa -- this group is full of great people, sorry it took so long to welcome you. MFP really is a great help and I am a lifetime yo-yo loser myself. This is the first time I am doing it right, slowly, surely and preparing myself to maintain this forever. Find a way anyway in a busy life to make this one of your top…
