You look AWESOME!!! Great job!!! Darn - I wish I could where the heels you wear - haha!! WEIGH to GO!!!!

Hi Dorian - I started at 348 - about where you are and I am now at 261. Wishing you the best of luck on your loss - but you may want to try a smaller goal to start (possibly 50-100lbs) so it's not so overwhelming. :)

I buy Nature's Harvest Multi Grain bread - 40 calories a slice (for 2 slices it will be 80 calories and 9 net carbs). And the best part is it tastes good!!! :)

Having MORE money -- not only could I not walk in the malls (was in wheelchair for almost 2 years), but really the only things that would fit me when I did go to the malls were shoes, earrings and perfume (and of course the food court).

LOVE them!! They are tasty, help curb that need for a sweet treat and I need help reaching protein #'s. Every other month I order a box of Cookies and Cream and a sample box of 12 different flavors (this month I also ordered 12 singles - a few extra brownie, lemon and coconut cashew). If you choose 12 singles you will get…

Last night at my daughter's Spring choral concert I finallyyyy fit in those tiny skinny people auditorium seats!!! WOOHOO!!! It's only been about 10-5 yrs since that happened!! :) I would always go really early, went to the back and looked for the fat people seat as it was called (it has a broken armrest - so you can lift…

Almost lost a newborn calf - holy moly - haha

1) 8 of my 10 meds are gone 2) this time last year I couldn't stand or walk for more than 5-10 minutes at a time (was in wheelchair) and have now walked 2 -5k's 3) can finally wear my wedding set again :)

I am 5'7" - - the pic on left is me at our daughter's wedding in August 2012 (weighing 348lbs). I started to work on my weight loss in February 2013 and have lost 87lbs to date -- pic on right is this past January (weighing 276lbs). I am down another 15lbs and have to do a new pic soon :)

Very nice positive post!! :)

Every morning I would have 2 philly soft pretzels, a minute maid orange juice and a tastycake (usually butterscotch krimpets). Ughhh - the carbs for my mornings alone were ridiculous!!! And then every night I would have at least 4-6 red solo cups of Turkey Hill iced tea. LOVED MY CARBS!! Haha

I eat Nature's Harvest Whole Grain 40 calorie bread - - 80 calories for 2 slices, 10 net carbs

LOVE Quest bars - but I find them soooo filling - couldn't imagine eating 8 in a day - haha

Quest bars and Chickfila Grilled Chicken Nuggets

My diary is open - - I am at 1300 - - I don't cook, I try to stay under 100 carbs a day AND have lost 86 pounds.

I have a fitbit force (they have been recalled - but I LOVE mine and won't trade in). I have it in black and wear with everything. Logs everything I want it to. I've never had an issue with it - so if anything should happen - I would probably go for the fitbit flex. And fitbit's customer support IS great - I lost my…

Unsweetened Iced Tea, Quest Bars, Watermelon and Dark Chocolate

Welcome to the beginning of a NEW you!!! I too turned 50 this year - and vowed it would be my best year yet!! So far - it has been :) You can do this - MFP is the best tool to help you on your way!!

Great job!! Keep up the good work!!

Never heard of most of those groups/songs.

Oh Thank you!!!

I have lost all of my weight eating out - I haven't cooked in 10+ yrs. Of course I stick within my macros as to what I choose - but it can be anywhere from a salad to a double cheeseburger to mac and cheese. 85lbs gone eating what I want :)

I don't cook - so I eat fast food every night for dinner - - I usually get one of the following: * The new Grilled chicken nuggets from Chickfila * Spicy chicken caeser salad from Wendy's (I swap the chicken out for grilled and use their avocado ranch dressing - no croutons) * If macros allow - double cheeseburger from…

Grilled Chicken Nuggets from Chickfila - yummmyyyy

I'm having a Quest bar - Vanilla Almond Crunch - - - later tonight probably cucumber or grapes

Great START for sure!!! I started at 348lbs and couldn't even walk or stand for more than 5-10 minutes, so I didn't even have exercise on the radar for quite a while. But I stuck with MFP, logging all foods, and finally was able to walk again (YAY). Now I just walk. Did my first 5k on March 15th. Came in last - but I did…

I have sleep apnea - the first month was hard getting used to it - but 2 years later - LOVE my cpap. I never slept so good!! We lost power during storms here this winter and I couldn't sleep without it!! Definitely get fitted again - it'll be the best sleep you've ever had once it's fitted right :)
