You are a riot!!! I'll friend you girl! Hubby's not too supportive here either!

I haven't seen this here yet, but eat before you go out to dinner.....yes I said eat. If you go to the restaurant really hungry, your diet will go out the window. If you eat something like a piece of fruit or some nuts, it will cut down that feeling that you want to eat everything. And then when you go, ask for a container…

Hi Beba, Add me as your friend too. I don't think anyones to get gastric bypass surgery to lose weight unless their life depended on it. You can do this on your own. I too believe that you have to work from the inside out. When you have issues you haven't come to terms with, you can't move on to anything else. If you want…

I used to love Chobani until I tasted Fage.....Wow it has the consistency of sour cream...yum. My favorite is the cherry Fage. I'm almost embarrassed to say, but I use all the cherry and use my finger to get every last bit of it out of the container!!! I know, gross, but ummmm good. Really, I don't eat anything else like…

I weight myself every morning.....I take off the pjs and get on in my undies only!!! Yeah it does drive me nuts, and I'm obsessive about it, but it's the only way I keep on track. I do only record it once per week though. I know all about the flucuations....but who cares?!!!

Hi, I'm glad to hear your BP and glucose are fine, but what was your heart rate? Also, did you ever think it could be the start of something worse like TIA's or the beginning of a stroke? Your carotid arteries could be in the beginning stages of being blocked and this is a serious problem. You didn't mention your age, so I…

Andric1 What do you suggest? That is the calorie allowance MFP has put me on. I am 51 and 5'2" currently weighing 186.6 lbs., looking to achieve a weight of 135. Advice would be helpful. Tell me why it's wrong, please.

Wow, yes there is a big difference. I started out a little heavier than you at 201, but I am down to 186 now, only 15 lbs., but I can't wait to see if there is a difference after 25 lbs. I hope I look as good as you do!!! Great job....keep on going.

VeganPanda -- no 1/2 Italian and the rest is part irish, german, dutch.

SMJ no face photo, but I say you're irish?!

Wow, you are an inspiration! Isn't Zumba great? I love it too. It's the only place where I feel it's okay to shake my booty with attitude!

Logging is the best way to stay on track. Not that I do it all the time myself, but I'm getting better at it. It also helps you to stay within your calorie allowance for that meal and for the whole day. If you don't plan, then plan to fail.....

Hey all, I just saw this thread and would definately like to join. I am 51 now (a very young 51) even though my body doesn't look it. I have 9 year old twins that I would like to be around for and just had a scare the other day. A younger cousin of mine just had a heart attack!! Yikes! His mother and my mother were…

mrskeg - almost...I'm glad I look thinner, but I'm 5'2" at 187 at present, but working on it. Thanks.

duhblond.....you're killing me with your pictures. I want to taste them all!!!

Ukaoma, not good at this, but maybe 190? You look fantastic by the way!!

Make sure you heart rate monitor is working correctly. Put it on, and take your heart rate manually (just in case you don't know -- put index and middle finger on radial pulse, count each beat for 15 seconds and times by 4). Check your heart rate monitor and see if they are the same. You sound like you exercise on a daily…

Ebony you made my day....I'm 51 years old.....and I always get great comments on my hair!!!

What a great story....you should be a writer for a magazine. Thanks for the giggles....my husband thought I was crazy. I am a nurse, and think about germs all the time, so no I would never talk on the phone while I am on the john.....I would be mortified if the person on the other end heard me peeing or flushing. Have a…

Since I'm only seeing your legs....I would say 23 and rock hard calves!! Wowza!

You look fabulous! Can't wait to see the magazine. Please add me as friend so I can ask how you lost all the weight. (If you don't mind) Great job.

As I stated before, most women are a size 16 in the USA....not trying to piss off anyone. Why are you two here anyway if you don't need to lose weight? Are you just maintaining your size 00-6?

:smile: Thank you so much. That is exactly what I meant!:smile:

If you fail to plan, then plan to fail! You have to be ready for those cravings, and be prepared. Have a small cooler or lunch bag filled with almonds, walnuts, fruit, and to fill that chocolate need, try the Atkins bars. They are almost no carbs, and they taste good. I found one that is just like a Payday bar, with some…

First of all, they discriminated against you. I think they think all fitness instructors must be a size 6-8, but that's not what real woman weigh. At my gym, there is a fitness instructor that has to be a size 16 or so, and she teaches, there is also a Zumba fitness instructor that used to be probably a size 20 or 22, and…

You should "shy" away....you look great! Keep on going!:drinker:

Hi Barbara, I'm going to add you to my list of friends. I joined a while ago, but did not take it seriously. I am going to now. I recently went to my doctor's office and weighed in at 200 lbs. I was horrified! Since then, I have been watching what I eat, and most of all portion sizes and have begun to workout again. I am…

I was wondering that too!

Wow are they the same shorts in the 186 picture as in the 166 picture? If they are, look how skinny your thighs got.....wow, you're doing great! Keep on going....
