In November 2013, I weighed 384 pounds at the doctor's office. My doctor sat down across from me and told me I needed to lose some weight, the same talk we had had 6 months earlier. She told me I should work on not gainning anymore by our next appointment, that in itself would be an accomplishment. In May 2014 when I…

I bought the Weight Watchers Scale which also measures Body Fat. Can program up to 4 people. I ordered it from Bed Bath and Beyond, total cost including taxes just over $53.00. It was delivered right to my door and no shipping costs.

To keep full I drink lots of water, and try to pick out foods that are high in bulk and low in calories. For instance, I love fresh strawberries, blueberries,zucchini, cucumbers, fresh green beans, brown rice, black eyed peas, english muffin.

This is my first attempt with MFP, but I've gained and lost many times thru-out my life, always gaining back more than I lost. I guess the key is to always log-on to MFP and weigh weekly to keep in check.

How did I begin my journey, you ask?? I started, plain and simple. I logged on to MFP. I logged everything I put into my mouth, good or bad. It was right there for me to see. I starting eating more fresh fruit and fresh vegetables and less can and boxed food. I measure my food. If I want to eat out I check to see if the…

I had weight issues as a young person too. I had an uncle I dearly loved but he could be rather blunt at times. He said to me, "are you having a race with your aunt to see who can be the fattest". It broke my heart. I've never forgotten those words from him. So hurtful. Everytime I saw him afterwards, I remembered those…

Look for a Farmers Market in your area. In my area, I can find one either Saturday Morning or Friday Early Evenings. The produce is usually cheaper and fresh. If you don't have a Farmers Market, check with neighbors who have gardens and they may sell you produce and may even give you their extra.

I started my journey with MFP on May 28th and at first I was doing well. But now I'm struggling. Struggling with the sugar monster wanting to take over, struggling with looking at the scale too many times. We just have to work thru the struggles and the sugar monsters. If we can't get it right today, then we have to work…

Years ago when I was in the gym, I used the elliptical alot. When it started feeling easier, I increased the intensity. On days I didn't feel so well, I decreased the intensity until I felt better. Only you know what you can do :-)

Fresh Spinach, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, hard-boiled egg. Sometimes I put in a little bacon. I make a dressing that goes really well with it.....a little goes a long way for taste
