Great job!!! I am at about the same place as you are (and were!! Almost :) I started at 348 in February and I am now at 279. My goal is to be at 235 (anything more will be a bonus). I am soon to be 50 (January 14th) and I am 5'7". You look great!! I am trying to hold off on posting pics till my one year - but am soooo…

The only thing I drink with carbs is an occasional Total Lean premade shake for Breakfast - otherwise I drink no carbs. I don't think of it as a "diet" - with MFP it's more of a challenge or game for me to eat within my number. I don't eat "clean" - I eat what I want - in moderation. I don't really exercise - I have a…

I started this journey at 348 pounds. I have lost 67 pounds since February 2013. My shakes of choice are the Total Lean pre-made shakes at GNC - I get the vanilla and chocolate flavors (strawberry was not to good). I buy them when they are buy 2 get one free. And the Quest bars are good - very good nutrition wise and they…

That's a great idea - cutting them up into smaller pieces. I have been trying different flavors - as well as trying Luna bars. Of course the Luna bars taste better, but the Quest bars are better macro wise. I nibble on them whenever I need a sweet treat and fruit isn't around :) (PS - the Luna Smores bar is AH-mazingggg).

Great job everyone!! I am 5'7" and started at 348 in February 2013, I am now 282, and my goal is to be 235 (what I was when I started dating my hubby 20+ yrs ago), and of course anything more than that would be a bonus!! I am up to being friends with positive people :) I've lost 66 pounds since February - would like to hit…

I think I may have started as the "biggest" of the 5'7" - 5'8" ladies on her (UGH - but that's past - haha). I am soon to be 50 (1/14/14), I'm 5'7" and my starting weight in February 2013 was 348lbs. I lost 43lbs before MFP (gained 3 back before joining MFP on 9/27/13) and since September 27th have lost another 26 pounds.…

AWESOME!!! I LOVE your documentation - all the "different" pics are great! Congrats - I hope to be in the same boat as you - losing 100+

I too started in the 3's (348) and I am 5'7". The end of January 2013 I went to hospital or bloodwork - I got on the scale - and when I saw the number I thought someone was on it with me. I mean - I am not blind - I knew I was FAT - but Holy Moly - I didn't realize I was that fat!!! That was my turning point. I immediately…

I have the new Fitbit Force. LOVE it!!! Has a display (also a watch) that shows my steps, calories burned, miles walked, etc... It is awesome!!! But it only works with certain "gadgets" (ipod 3, 4 and mini, certain iphones and samsungs). Check that info before you buy :)
-
#19 should say "you PROBABLY don't have a slow metabolism or thyroid problem". There are people who do have these issues which makes it a little more difficult to lose - not impossible - just a little more difficult :)
-
I agree on the extra $30 for the fitbit force - I LOVE mine!! I know someone who has the flex - which has dots as your display to show if you met your goals, the force shows you on the display itself (which is also a watch) how many steps, calories burned, etc... Every night I go home and sync on mini ipad - takes a second…

I won't eat pork - but will eat crispy (REAL CRISPY) bacon I won't eat fish - but will eat tuna Can't eat jello - makes me gag Won't eat eggs - UNLESS they're pickled Only eat white meat chicken, dark meat is gross I eat bread, toast, sandwiches (when I have it) from the bottom up (save the top crust - the best - for last)…

Sadddd - My mom also did this to my daughter in front of my daughter's cousins (my mom's other grandkids who are ALL thin - my daughter fights the same weight issues I do). My daughter was about 18 and took my youngest (who was 6) to my moms for the day to go swimming with all of their cousins. My mom ordered pizza and in…

Four years ago, my entire family and I were at a cousin's funeral and his ex-wife showed up. I didn't recognize her as she had lap band surgery and lost so much weight. My mom turns to me and says "Wow, you should get that done". Ummmm - okayyyy - already sad about losing a cousin and throw that in mom!! Some people just…

Definitely joining - I only seem to lose when I do low carb!! Thanks for the group!!

Thank you Everyone!! Welllll - I'm going to post my "morning" weight on Fridays starting with today's weight (because as I said - todays was a good weigh in for me - haha). Thank youuuu!!!
