When I was in your position, I wouldn't take no chances cause those attacks were just awful. I'd follow doctors orders, but thats me. Best of luck to you!

You look great!! Well done!

I can't wait to get down to 199!!! Congrats!!!

Too much fat for sure can effect me (or used to), and before I started this diet EVERYTHING bothered me! I had mine out in 2002 and my dr said I had one of the most serious side effects after having it out that hes seen, including simple water at times. Since changing my diet, I can pretty much eat anything :) Good luck!

Great job!! I've had chronic back pain for much of my adult life, but once I started exercising the pain has just about fully disappeared. I no longer need the meds to function! Its a great feeling!! Keep it up, your doing fabulous!

That was my all time FAVE sub from Subway last year!!! I'm so excited that its back!!! Enjoy!!

Yayy!! Thats awesome!

I have always worked out in the mornings, and I'm far from being a morning person! In fact, I dread my 630 morning alarm! I eat a banana while my kids get ready for school, drop them off come home and get at it. Its been my routine since starting. Weekends I may wait til late morning but its always before lunch. I agree…

Congrats on your progress! You look great!

Wow!!! You look fantastic!! GREAT JOB!!

I'm so going to make these!! Thanks for sharing!

One word -- WOW!! Congrats!!

I was always told interval training burns more calories, so I walk/jog in 1-2min intervals for 15-30 minutes several times a week.

I like Jillian Michaels Whey Protein Powder, the vanilla, as it goes with several flavor options. I use a cup of unsweetened almond milk, scoop of whey powder, and a 1/2 - full cup of whatever no sugar added frozen fruit I want that day. Today I skipped the fruit, but was still delish :)

I was diagnosed with PCOS in January. For some of the other issues I have that go with it, my doctor has told me to cut out added sugar (which is so incredibly hard for me), dairy as much as possible, and go crazy on veggies and fruit. She also suggested exercising AT LEAST 3x a week, though I do 6-7x, and toggle between…

Thats what I'm having for tonights snack, 2 hard boiled eggs (minus the yolks) . Filling, delicious, and healthy!

Love it!! Such a great feeling isn't it?! That happened to me just the other day, and I couldn't be more happy! Congrats on your weight loss!

I started at 247 also. 4 months in I've lost 22lbs. It was a constant struggle day in and day out to change the ways I had grown custom to for most of my teenage/adult life. Like others have said I had to chose between food and my health. I chose to get healthy for me and my family. I still have days where its not easy to…

Impressive!!! Congrats!

After going through a very hard time in my life a few years ago, I decided to get Carpe Diem tattooed on my inner wrist. It means Seize The Day in Latin. I took my life in my own hands and since my life couldn't be better! That tattoo may have hurt like the ****ens, but it helped me get through a rough time. The 3 is for…

Phew!! Glad to see I wasn't alone! :smile: If tomorrow is your normal weigh-in day, will you be sticking to it after all that candy or skipping it for this week? I didn't eat THAT much, but still that dang EB better not ruin my weigh-in!! Lol

Bump

You nailed it! I'm addicted to my treadmill, most of the time lol, and I can not get hubs interested in working out with me. I think it would be fun, hes just not into it... Sigh

I was diagnosed in January 2011, and since then have changed my lifestyle and so far have lost 18lbs. It IS possible with a lot of dedication and hard work! Feel free to friend me! I know how hard it is but you came to the right place. MFP has been amazing support on my journey! Best of luck to you!!

I'm so looking forward to when that will happen to me! Great job!!

Absolutely!! Thats the only way I can choke down water is to add flavor to it :)

Not wrong at all, if they don't like it they don't have to eat it :) I'm actually interested in that recipe!! :D

5'7" - ultimate goal is150 but if I can hit 160 I'd be content
