I'm a "no" vote... went to the 10th, hoping people had changed --- nope. Went to the 25th... The people I really wanted to see didn't come, all the rest did. No more for me. But I didn't have a very good high school experience, either. So maybe I haven't changed either :)

You can do it!!!!!! :)

You can always go with the (often revealing), "Why do you ask?" or "What makes you say that?" It gently turns it back on her and could open a dialog about HER issues (Much more fun to discuss than ones own :) ). I got some of that from my sister-in-law and realized that she'd never seen me that thin (5'8" and 165!!!) and…

^^^Yay!!!! Whooooo Hoooo!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to OP and wonderful proud shares from everyone else!!!! I'm Proud of YOU!!!

OMG, my dear, you look Amazing in that dress!!!! And in your other pics. I think the comment about being a swimmer is you have that lovely long torso, and so look streamlined. While I totally get wanting to look your best, on your wedding day the only thing anyone will see is the joy shining through your face and your aura…

Yeah, what JONZ64 said!!! I'm a Very Happy 55!!!!

My brain still hasn't caught up. I lost 75-80 pounds and have now kept that off for a year. But I'm smaller than I ever thought I'd be. But I still "feel" fat.... I still head directly to the plus department for clothes, even though I'm in size 14 now... Pictures are helping for me. When I'm wearing an outfit and feel…

bump...

yay you!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't that feel good??!!!!!

thank you all!!! I'm 5'7.5" and started at 260. I'm around 175-180 now, and have maintained for a year... Waaaayy below what I'd ever see again in my life!!! But am wondering what it would be like to be 25-30 lbs less... So thank you! Maineapple, I'm right with ya!!! :)

I just joined!! Whoo Hooo!! I'm 55 and live in the Sacramento Valley of CA. I've maintained for a year, after a loss of 80 pounds. I use my Fitbit and MFP to help :) Greetings to all!!!

absolutely!

Just for giggles I wore my Fitbit One inside my drysuit while scuba diving... Poor thing was Very Confused :) Other than that, I do love my Fitbit. Have lost 80 pounds using it! Yay Me!!!!

Thanks for the help! I tried one, had issues, and so hadn't tried again. I will now!!!

I'm intrigued with those who are speaking of fatigue. I'm working with my doctors to see why I HAVE to sleep 9+ hours a night, and still may be fatigued in the day. So far? Ain't nuthin' wrong w/ me! So later I'll look at some of the links, and see what else comes out here. Thanks!!!!

Oh, and I'm in the Mature Age zone, too :smiley:

Hi! Feel free to add me, too. I lost most of my weight in 2013 to early 2014 and seem to be in maintenance now, eating about 1200. I agree -- I wish more people would open their food diary for just the same reason. I got a great recipe for Carrot Potato Quinoa soup from one of my friends. It's also good to see how others…

Happy Birthday! I've got 55 coming up in a few weeks... And I'm ready for my annual birthday box of Capt'n Crunch!!!! With an apple and a walk :)

Working in the yard for 4 hours... LOTS of bending and stretching!

Vacaville CA - Between SF and Sacramento Cloudy and cool at 60 today :) Let's get back to sunny!!!

Good morning, lovely ladies!!!!!! Glad to see this. I'm 54 (and a half :) ) and 5''8". My highest (this time around) was 255, and I've been around 170 since May. I'm trying to allow that to be ok, getting used to it, letting my skin shrink.... Which is just doesn't do as fast as it used to!!! Like OP, I'm maintaining at…

Thank you all for posting here!! I'm 5' 8" and like many, never been so low in my adult life. At my highest (this go around :) ) I was 255. I had pretty much settled that my 'normal' adult weight was 235.... Well, now I seem to be pretty stable at 168-170!!! On me that's a size 12-14. First time I've been out of woman's…

I recently tried the Arbonne because my cousin became a consultant. The flavor and 'full' feelings were the same as I'd been getting from other products (EAS Lean 15 for example). I did go back to the EAS for two reasons -- Price and calories/serving. If it weren't for those two things I would have stuck with the Arbonne.…

"But you have such a pretty face! ".......

Good for you for making a choice to live a healthier life! I started at 255 pounds, (5' 8") and have been up and down all my life. I don't have any special wisdom to share -- just wanted to cheer you on!!!! Keep going!!!!

Whoo Hooo for you!!!!!!!!! I think you are asking smart questions (I learned a lot!) and have a wonderful attitude! Keep up the good work!!!!

YAY!!!

Yay! I thought it was just me!!!! Luckily I work in a small, friendly office, because I've decided what type of exercise I'll be doing in their area!!! the programmers' cubical? Dips, of course! And pushups against the admin assistant's desk... the boss's office is sit ups :)
