Good luck! You can- and will- do it!

Love it! Your title alone made me laugh out loud! You are doing great!!

Feel free to add me! I started at 267, and am at 240! Working my way down the scale!!

I am on here a lot! Usually after each meal, or after I snack. It helps me to feel connected to the site, and to what I am doing. It also helps me keep an eye on where I am at, and where I am going in my day. If you can remember what you ate in the day then you can go on the site less. You just need to figure out what…

Today! Jiffy Corn Casserole!! Yikes!!

I am at 1300 calories a day. I did 1200, but whenever I went under I got that warning in red from MFP and it freaked me out. So I upped my calories to 1300, but I still try and keep closer to 1200. Feel free to add me.

Thank you for posting this. I avoid being photographed all the time. I never saw it this way. Maybe, just maybe, I will give it a try.

I hope you continue to walk on clouds! You worked hard, and it paid off! Well done!!

Feel free to add me! Today was not a "typical" day for me, but I keep an open diary and am a good cheerleader!!

Congratulations!!

Every day, but only Wednesday counts!

I was asked that question 30 years ago, and I still haven't forgotten it. That is the worst question anyone could ask. I know it hurts, but the person is clearly a social idiot. I wish there was a really funny way to answer it. Sorry it happened to you. Chalk it up to ignorance!

It is an uphill battle, but one we can win! Friend me! We will be successful together!

Here it goes- I have always been overweight. Five, ten pounds in high school. Twenty pounds in college. The older I got, the higher the number became. For me, my weight has been my protection. It protects me from the outside world. It hides the real me from those around me. If they can't see me behind the fat, then they…

Nicely done!

You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story. You are a great role model for everyone who reads your post, but most importantly for those beautiful daughters of yours. They are lucky to have you!

You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your story. You look great. Congrats.

Add me! I log in every day, and am always looking for supportive friends!

What is a VLCD? I am on 1220 calories a day, which I think is low, but I also have A LOT of weight to lose. You need to take advice how it is - advice. How do you feel? Do you trust your doctor? Have you had any blood work to make sure your vitamin levels are acceptable? Good luck figuring it out.

This happened to me for the first week on my diet. But it went away. Try eating a "healthy snack" like baby carrots or celery when you start to get shaky. Hopefully yours will go away with time like mine did.

Good for you! It is so hard to go out of our comfort zones! I have a HUGE problem with portion size. That is probably my biggest food issue. Since I started on MFP, I have had to work very hard at eating and cooking realistic portion sizes. My idea of what should feed 4 people, and the real amount were very different. But,…

You can add me, too.

I have stopped eating the foods that I can't control myself with- Doritos, popcorn, chips and queso.....

Popcorn. The more, the better. With cheese.......

So glad you asked that! I had the same question!!
