WOOHOO!! Just had another great loss this week which surprises the WHOOPS out of me!!! Now a total of 77lbs down since Mar 14th...that's 11 weeks!! Can't believe this is now my life instead of where I was before my pacemaker surgery and my life with PERSISTENT AFIB had a choke hold on me. I'm motivated and super excited…

Robin :) Girl, you are not alone. There's so many of us in the exact same boat here on MFP. I'll start with myself. This is my 3rd time in life being more than 400lbs. As a matter of fact, I was 499lbs on March 14th...just 11 weeks ago. I went in the hospital for a pacemaker after 4 years of fighting AFIB through…

Omg, very HAPPY CONGRATULATIONS🎈🐻🎉👶🏼🎊🎠🎈Dreams do come true 🌟🌠🌈 Sounds like you're doing beautifully both with your pregnancy and your weight loss journey. Reminds me of being pregnant with my 2nd child 29 years ago. I happened to have been 26yrs old and weighed 350lbs or so. No health issues other than weight. But docs…

My Starting Over Weight: 499lbs on Mar 14, 2019 My Final Weight Goal: 150lbs The Milestone I'm Most Looking Forward To Reaching: 250lbs (where I left off in 2015 on my first weight loss journey here before my AFIB and heart meds side effects kicked in and derailed me) My Current Weight: 426lbs My Loss This Week: 3lbs My…

Thanks so much @slimmdown 😊 I've adopted a nearly completely water lifestyle. Seldom do I enjoy a glass of diet ginger ale, so sodas are mostly out of the picture. I may have a cup of decaf coffee or tea once or twice a week, but water for sure is number one for me merely because I've always loved it. I admit I do prefer…

I learn something new all the time here on MFP. I've not only had to confront myself on food choices and amounts, but also how many times I eat during my day. For so very long I thought the fewer times I would eat, the better to lose weight. Unfortunately, for me at least, that just meant I was eating usually under 500…

Oh boy, you have a lot going on way over there! This weather we're having now in Georgia is our sweet spot. Doesn't last long though before we start seeing those 100° temps. So I'm just enjoying my days on the porch listening to the birds and feeling the random breeze while that sun shines. Even the passing rain shower…

Cory, I'm losing once again because I'm off heart meds now. Had a pacemaker put in mid March and no more meds. Those things had doubled my weight over a 4 year period of taking them. Starting losing the very next day after stopping them. 40lbs within the first 3 weeks, and now 26 more. I know at some point the real work…

How's about a new friend in the 400lb range? I'm Betty and today I'm weighing in at 433.8lbs after a 65lb loss in 2 months. I'm trying real hard here. I've been faithfully on MFP since July 2014. Devoted logger. Happy to have a new friend and to be a friend😁

Hi all. Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend. Beautiful 90° sunny day down here in Georgia. Stepped on my scale to see another little loss that I'm cautiously proud of. That's a total 65lbs down over these last 2 months. If I'm dreaming, DO NOT WAKE ME!!!

Hey guys. So today's my usual weigh day and, even though I saw a slight gain the other day when I stepped and peeped on the scale ahead of time, today I see it sliding back down. No real extra loss for me...just back where I was. Anyways, it's a win for me so I'll take it😉

Hi y'all. I thought my week went pretty well...at least until I stepped on the scale a few days earlier than my official weigh day on Sunday. I saw my numbers creeping up and now I'm getting upset with myself. I felt like I was eating good with lower calories and good macros, and I've been steadily moving more and more for…

Thank you @tammyfranks2 and @CheezWhiz88 for your encouraging words😁 I managed to walk down my long driveway and back yesterday...which is something I haven't been able to do in quite a while. Pretty proud of that, and it motivates me to try more.

Hey, guys🙋🏼‍♀️ Betty from Georgia here. I'll be 55 in a few months, and I'm making changes in my health and body this year. Looking to lose more weight than I ever have in my life, so this is very daunting for me. Would love some support and welcome any distractions to lighten my spirit. And for those that care, I have…

Hey all😁 Betty here making my first ever progress report. My Starting-Over Weight: 499lbs on Mar 14, 2019 My Final Weight Goal: 150lbs The Milestone I'm most looking forward to reaching: 250lbs (where I left off in 2015 on my wonderful weight loss journey before my AFIB and heart meds side effects kicked in and derailed…

What a lovely welcome💜💚💛💙 Thank you so very much😊 I'm super excited to be here😁 I'm grateful to hear about some of each of your stories here and looking forward to learning more and sharing our days here...both good and bad. It means a lot to me.

Hi all :) I'm Betty and I've just joined your group. I'm thrilled to find people in my same weight group who can relate to me on all levels. I'm 355lbs right now, but seeing my scale go up pretty much weekly due to my heart meds' side effects. My docs won't change the meds because "heart issue first, weight after". This is…

Name: Betty Age: 52 Highest weight ever: 430lb Last weigh in : 355lb Goal weight:150lb Years of yo yo dieting: 35 I'm a dedicated logger, so you will definitely see me here :)

I'm always having a struggle of some sort :/ I stand here today weighing 355lbs and fighting with AFIB, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and absolute limitations and pains due to my super size. Now tomorrow I just might weigh even more...due to side effects from my heart medications that are out of my control. It's…

Congratulations on your hard work and success so far :) As I was reading your post, I noticed so many things we have in common. Just want you to know that you are not alone in this struggle. Mine may be a little different in some ways, but we are still in the same fight. If you should like to have another friend that can…

Even though I have lost 120lbs so far, I still have a goal of losing 100 more! So I'm in the same boat with y'all. I can say back when I started here at 369lbs, I didn't even think about exercise for a while. I needed to get myself in check with my food first. So first I made changes from grabbing unhealthy snack food and…
