Trust when I say there were days that I didn’t make good choices, but every day is a new day and you can start again every day. Don’t give up if you have a bad day, just try again the next day. It’s the persistent trying and not giving up that got me here, but I definitely treated myself when I needed to. So many people…

I feel this, haha. I'm an emotional eater too. I'm also a boredom eater. I like to eat. I'm having to change my relationship with food daily. It's not easy, but we can do it!

I tried to send a friend request, but I think MFP hates me. Haha Anyway, wishing you the best of luck! You can do it!

Hey, good job! You are worth caring about yourself because God loves you. I don't ever get spiritual on here, but I noticed you mentioned the guidance of Jesus and I just want you to know that I am praying for you. You've got this!

I also meant to say one thing that has helped me stay on track is doing walking challenges. I found one on Facebook last month for St. Jude and this month I'm doing 60 Miles in September for the American Cancer Society. I track how far I walk every day to make sure I stay on target and it gives me the motivation to do it.…

I love the "very married" part and should have included that in my introduction when I did one. Anyway, I am so proud of you. It's not easy taking the first step and you did that! You can definitely do it! I have all the faith in you, you just need to have the faith in yourself. <3

I did that. I went to a running store and they measured me, watched my gait, the whole shebang, and they tried putting me in Hokas, but they didn’t have enough ankle support so they gave me a pair of Brooks instead. Last year when I was heavier than I am now I didn’t have any issues. I think I just went too long and need…

I meant to say that I’m down to 248 now from 300, but wondering if being so out of shape and not exercising for so long has made my feet and ankles weak, but not my legs or back. Did you run on a treadmill? Is it better to go on real streets? Running is the end goal for sure, but walking is kicking my butt right now, haha.

I'm always looking for new friends. I am 44 years old, married for almost 4 years and we have 3 dogs: a Jack Russell Terrier, a Cane Corso and a Beagle Mix. I started back on this journey on April 26th of this year and am down 41lbs. I won't lie and say it's all been lost naturally because I started on Wegovy and was then…

It's easier to shave my legs and I can get up off the couch without help!

Have you ever tried a ReliefBand? One of my co-workers says her dad gets motion sickness and can ride things again since he bought one of those. They're pricey though, like $280, but sometimes they run sales. There's also one you can get that's an AppleWatch band. From what I can tell it works like a tens unit to prevent…

Thank you so much for the advice! Yogurt and berries sounds so much better than chicken, chicken and more chicken. I'm forcing myself to eat the chicken anyway, but thinking maybe I'll force it down and then reward myself with something I DO like. 70lbs is incredible! Congratulations! You must feel so much better! Thank…

THANK YOU for explaining this to me! I've always hated the initial weight gain with new exercises, but having it put in perspective like that helps a lot!

OOP don't give me ideas! Haha I guess it's all just a learning process and sometimes our bodies will do what they're going to do and we have no control over it, even if we change the batteries in the scale. That made me laugh, but mostly because I GET IT.

UPDATE!!!! The scale is moving back down again and now I weigh less than when I started the Wegovy. I am guessing it was just some initial bloating or something as my body adjusted to the medication and got used to eating carbs again. 🙌🏻

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🙏🏻

Thank you SO much! I'll be speaking to a dietitian soon and also getting some labs/bloodwork done to see if I have any issues that might be causing me to hold on to the weight. I've been logging everything here and it definitely looks like I need way more protein than I'm getting. I already logged everything today and it…

I don't get periods because I'm on a progestin only birth control that stops them completely. Definitely going to talk to my primary doctor to see if he thinks this is even the right medicine for me or if I should try something else. I could try sauces to hide the flavor! Another problem I didn't mention is that I can't…

I hadn't even considered looking to see if that's covered! Thank you! That's something I will definitely look into because I recognize that I need help just setting up the food on my plate, if that makes sense. I'm trying to follow the pamphlet and make sure my meals are balanced, but I might be trying to load too much of…

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Physically, I feel fine. I haven't really had any of the nausea, tachycardia or dizzy spells that some people complain about, it's just the idea of certain foods that I think I'm sick of that make me gag. I'm not fatigued or anything. I've just started the lowest dose at .25 though…

(I read your whole reply, but cut off most of the quote to make my response shorter, haha) Thank you SO much for this. I don't wholly trust the doctor I've been going to because he seems to be stuck in the past as far as what does and doesn't work when it comes to making healthy food choices. He was trying to prescribe me…

I love this!

Congratulations! I'm not a smoker, but I know plenty and I have seen how hard it is to quit so you are amazing!

I'm happy to hear that! I love encouraging others to do their best. It encourages me to keep going!

You will do it!! We are powerful! Thank you. ^_^

It's one of those things you just don't think about. I am not complaining about that though. I have to buy new shoes, ohhh noooo!

Thank you. That's very sweet!

Is it weird that I've been equating my weight loss to bowling balls? It's fun to say "I've lost another bowling ball!' but I should come up with something more amusing. "I've lost a small dog!" I like to be confusing.

I laughed out loud, haha. Thank you!

Thanks everyone! I always love how encouraging everyone is. You guys are the best! <3
