You lost a half of you! I bet your feeling fabulous inside and out. I am hoping to be able to get there too. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Congratulations! I am so so happy for you! I am half way to where I would like to be. I measure everything I eat. yeah!

I use kelp noodles, I like their crunchiness. They don't taste bad as you would think.

Congrats for the loss!!!..I understand the losing and gaining. I did the same thing last year. I am trying to get back to my 213 from my now weight 237......I want to get down to 145 but its the journey not the destination right?!? I keep on exercising and eating healthy. I tried the keto but my hubby says I am more paleo.…

40 for me but I congratulate all of you in the hundreds!! That is dedication. I hope to be there someday!!

My food scale is my hack. I have a very hard time with portion control. Water is another good hack since I hate drinking water but it helps filling you up. I do drink plain tea if I can if not I add 1 stevia packet. I only eat fresh fruit, veggies and meats.

Think before you Do things! Trust your heart in every choice, it will help you in the end! :smiley:

I need motivation also.I was 190 when I was pregnant with my boys but lost the weight, now I have spine problems and I got Heavier then when I was pregnant and I Hate it, So much that I started this Low…

I am going to be 39 this September! Congrats on your Engagement, I have been happily married for 16 years. My hubby is on here also, he is also your Friend on (MFP) I Love that we are doing this together as a couple. I have never been overweight before, it started a few years ago when I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis…

I have been doing this for a while but my new Lifestyle is Paleo. I do not eat carbs if I can help it. I eat everything as whole as it can be. NO processed foods, limiting sugar and choleserol (since mine is high). I have lost 9 pounds before I started logging on here. I am very excited and motivated since my family is…

What R we Rating Looks or Fitness/weight loss?? Person above me is fit for sure 10 for U :) I don't rate looks because beauty in my eyes are more than skin deep!

My son is obese and he is going to be 13 in June, he weighs more than me and is the same height as I am. I would recommend not saying anything. This morning we said something about how much he was eating, he started to cry then Forced his way to his room. I felt so bad, I try getting him more active but it just doesn't…

I did Zumba once a week for a few months, I will be going back next Saturday. I tore a muscle in my calf and couldn't walk. I am excited to be going back. I miss the gym it sure helped me stay on my weight loss plan. It is a lot of fun even if U don't know the moves I make things up as I go along. The goal is to keep…

Hey did U know they make Light Vodka now, That is what I drink with diet soda or whatever. I had 7 shots tonight and it was only 240 calories! I can drink more and not get hungover Just love it. Oh and I still have a few drinks and I have lost 20 pounds so far in 6 weeks.

I have Plantar Fasciitis also, I bought my insoles at the Good Feet store and saw wonderful results. I am not allowed to run now due to me having spinal stenosis. I was a very good sprinter in middle school, I miss running too. My physical therapist asked me what was wrong with me (for missing to run). I do have some…

I live in Wisconsin but I can still be your friend :)

I drink occasionally too. I used to drink a ton and it did contribute to my weight gain! I do keep it under control now. If I drink more than 3 or 4, I go to bed. I found out if I don't do it that way I want to eat and eat and eat!! I also work harder at the gym those days:drinker:

I have heard that to lose fat in certain areas Cardio exercise is the way to go. I always thought U had to do tons of tummy crunches to lose it. I was told that isn't going to do it.

Bumpity Bump Bump!

I am praying the doctors can fix the pump so he doesn't have to suffer.. He is such a blessing to his family, such a Gr8 Man of God. I sure hope he gets his new heart very soon. He is one that deserves it!

It means Non Scale Victory

Good for U getting rid of it. I have had the same problems but now with wanting to lose weight I noticed now that I don't drink like I used to 6-10 drinks a night. I have been losing weight steadily. So far 20 off only 20 more to go. I was using alcohol as a pain reliever, I have spinal stenosis (the narrowing of the canal…

I saw your calorie intake How about exercise? Do U drink enough water during the day? That does help. I also found out today we are suppose to eat back or exercise calories. U sound very discouraged:grumble: so I hope U keep to it. :wink:

I had a problem a few weeks ago where the number stayed the same I felt heartbroken. Eating right and all the hard work at the gym and not losing can be tough but I do know this is a lifestyle change so one week isn't going to hurt. I kept at it and the following week I lost 3 pounds. I also adjusted my calories I give my…

Thanks I was wondering about that too!:wink:

If the water is still brown, Did U rinse the beans after dumping the icky water? Also I cook my beans on med heat for the 1 - 2hours but sometimes I cook them a little longer so they are softer. The beans should be getting bigger than before U rinsed them. Other than that U are doing it correctly

I do zumba every Sat at the gym! My mom and I have been doing it for 8 weeks now.Feel free to add me :) Have a good weekend!

Have U tried chewing gum instead. I love the extra dessert delights! My fav is the apple pie. If your not a gum chewer is there something else u can do to occupy yourself during the down time at work like go for a walk, do some light exercise, reading a book or magazine? I also suggest eggs with whole wheat toast or…
