Fantastic! Congratulations!!

Hi there! I think our nutritional needs are quite individual: when my oldest daughter was 14, she was 'grossed out' cooking chicken and decided to eat a vegan diet; I am a good cook so I was very careful with making sure that she got all of her nutrients. Then my youngest daughter decided to go vegetarian. She liked cheese…

Ha ha .... I'm feeling your success! Bravo!

Fat does not weigh more than muscle. Think about it ... a POUND of fat = a POUND of muscle. However, a POUND of fat takes up more SPACE than a POUND of muscle ... at least that is my understanding and observation... (Use of CAPS is not intended as yelling, just for emphasis :smile: ) Or put a different way, five pounds of…

It's great to see so many tall woman responding to this link! I can relate with the difficulty in finding clothes to fit - I have very long legs. Regular size shirts are too short in the body and sleeve length, but I am very thankful that my mother taught me how to sew. However, I am finding some shops that carry 'tall' in…

I like the 'BELIEVE' sign above the doorway which is above your head in one of the photos! :smile: What a transformation! Congratulations!!

Hi! Welcome, I too take medication for an under active thyroid ... for the last 35 years ... guess that makes me 58! I have also taken anti depressants in the past and many of them do cause a problem with weight gain. If you thyroid tests are normal, than you are getting enough medication to make up for the deficiency from…

"Your gaining muscle maybe? " Nope. A pound is a pound, whether it's a pound of fat or a pound of muscle. Basic laws of physics. A pound of fat just takes up more room than a pound of fat. At least that is my observation. Not sure how many calories you are consuming or how much you are exercising, but there is an imbalance…

Ask and you will receive! Count me in as your friend too. :flowerforyou:

I say ... wait it out until lunch. Just think of 'fasting' before surgery .... one morning won't hurt. And if you decide NOT to hit the vending machine, I bet you won't forget your lunch tomorrow :smile:

Ok. I threw in my numbers yesterday but wasn't sure about them. Thought I was 185 - 188, but I am 184. That's my SW for this challenge. Maybe I lost some weight during my first week :smile:

I'm in too! Thanks for the challenge.:smile: Starting weight April 17 - I am not sure but think it's around 188 ... will weigh myself in the morning Weight on Sunday April 23 - Weight Loss for the week -

Hi! I am six feet tall and CW is 185. GW is set somewhere between 170 - 175. (I was as high at 198 a year ago but I have my daughter's wedding coming up in 8 weeks and the dress that I am sewing, is a bit tight at the waist. I didn't do a lot of measuring before cutting out the dress so there is no going back ha ha.) She's…

I am 6 feet tall and weigh 185. For sedentary lifestyle, my caloric intake for 1 pound loss/week is 1430.:smile:

Hi Snowbaby, I am postmenopausal but i always had heavy and long periods. I was diagnosed with a fairly common bleeding disorder: Type 1 von Willebrand's Disease ... heavy menstrual periods are one of the main symptoms for females. (Males can have this disorder too.) I couldn't take the BCP because it made my migraines…
