WAY TO GO!!! That's quite a milestone! Don't forget to celebrate!

First of all, WAY TO GO!!! I see that you've lost 86 lbs. That's awesome! I feel the same way about working to keep it off. I'm not really sure that I see the benefit of the surgery. You still have to make the lifestyle changes, it's just forced. Also, when I've researched it, it appears that most people lost about 40% of…

I've been doing this for two weeks. I've been successful so far, about 10 pounds. I was drinking a ton of diet soda (4 or more servings per day), which I now have a serving a couple of times a week. I stay around 1500 calories/day, which is what MFP recommends to lose two pounds per week. I haven't been as diligent about…

I didn't ask her opinion on weight loss. In fact, her scale showed that I had lost 12 lbs in the past two weeks, which I commented on. This appointment was for a different issue all together. She took it upon herself to suggest that I consider having the weight loss surgery. When I explained to her what I had been doing,…

Thank you so much for all of your replies. I am touched by the support. I will surely get a second opinion...and keep doing what I'm doing. It's working so far! :)

I know that's right! Now I'm daydreaming about daydreaming about running.

Love this. lol Thanks for the support.

The weird thing is that she was very sweet(?). I think that she genuinely felt that she was coming from a place of helping. But she pretty much just scared the crap out of me.

You freaking rock! Thanks. :)

That's always been my thought, too. I have no desire to have the surgery.

I'm a serial weigher. I was recently at my doctors office and was talking to her about starting this journey and she challenged me not to weigh myself. Her premise was that I should use how I feel to see how I'm doing and not rely so much on the scale. I hate to admit it, but I couldn't do it. My husband even tried hiding…

Thank you for sharing this. I can completely relate. It seems strange feel proud of someone you don't even know, yet I do! You did a great thing. Not only did you make the right choice, but you broke the cycle of wrong choices. Congratulations. If you're looking for friends that log on a regular basis, feel free to ad me.…

Back with a vengance... I love it! I feel exactly the same way. I've tried to lose weight several times, but there's something different this time. This. is. happening. Feel free to add me. The more support the better. Best of luck!

Hi Diana! I'm from Michigan, too...and have a son who is five. I've got more to lose than you do, but am looking for support and encouragement as well. I'll send you friend request. :smile:

Tell me about the FuelBand. My wonderful husband ordered me one. I should have it on Monday.

When I did WW, people used to post on the message boards about this very thing. There was a school of thought that supported varying the number of calories that you eat in a day, so long as you stay under you weekly goal. The premise is that your when your body gets used to the same number of calories per day that you are…

You look amazing and I'll bet you feel even better! Good for you. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow. All I can think is "Yeah... what he said!" it's awesome that you're so gung ho about this. I'm feeling the same way right now. I'm actually out of commission due to an injury but I'm totally geeked about this lifestyle change and how it can make me a better me. Best of luck!

I've been using MFP on my phone for a while but had never logged on the actual website. I've got a lot to lose and a lot to gain from losing. Looking forward to giving and getting inspiration and support.
