Thanks ladies!

Judy... I'm sorry that the very first person to reach out to you felt the need to check your spelling/word error. Some have nothing better to do than to point out the errors of others. You get that a lot around here. Whether you want to loose it or lose it ;) this is a great site. You get out of it what you put in though.…

I've definitely been there... I do have a person or two on my friends' list that are recovering from ED. One in particular tries so hard, and has been on the right road for years now, but her struggle is real---just as I have been here for years trying to lose weight. She supports my efforts and I support hers. We fight…

I'm hoping it shows... The first pic was me at around 200#... no, I was not pregnant. The last is me at about 160#. I simply eat less and move more. That's it. I have maintained for over a year now bouncing between 160-165, and do have roughly 15 pounds that I would like to be free of. I'm 5'3"ish.

:heart: :heart: :heart:

Dorothy knows this story anyhow but.... My son is having a hard time in gym class. They are encouraged to run/jog each class starting at 3min and increasing by 3 min each time until 20min. He was pretty far behind the majority of the class. Last night he and I drove to a flat area, timer in hand, and off we went! With some…

One of the BEST feelings!!!! May you have continued success!

OP... I concur with the others who say, please seek the help of a professional and not the help of a bunch of internet folks. I wish you the best.

I'm not picking at you, I have never seen your posts before.... but if the folks on MFP are not being 'nice' to you, maybe, just maybe it is because you are talking about losing more weight when you can clearly see ribs in the after pic in your profile. :flowerforyou: If you don't want the internet world to make comments,…

Simply AWESOME! Have a beautiful day!

If you stick to it, one could pretty much guarantee that you will be closer to your goal than you are right now, but definitely doable. :)

The best time for ME to log is either while food is cooking or being prepared or directly after I eat, while still sitting at the table. I prelog if I know what I am going to eat in advance, but that isn't often.

Love me some Saints :)

Height, weight, age, activity level, etc. 1000 calories a day would make anyone depressed... doesn't sound great :(

zero calorie foods or drinks. I do mark my water though. gum ketchup. Yes, I know that ketchup has calories.

HA! You crack me up! In for tips! :flowerforyou: You are going to do just fine in your race.. GO YOU!!!! :drinker:

Truly awesome!

I've been at this for 3 years at the end of this month. I lost 20 the first year, lost another 20 during the second and have gained and lost the same 10 pounds again and again for the third year. I have a goal to lose 50... and I will. The word "lifestyle" gets thrown around a LOT... but it's true for me. Good luck!!!!…

Meeting up with one of my dear MFP friends at her vacation home!!!!! We were able to meet last year there for the first time, this meeting will be FABULOUS!

Sorry... but yes. SAHM work very hard, no doubt. However, being a full time secretary, full time wife and mom, and full time housekeeper, I have to agree. If you work 10-12 hours a day to provide a situation where she CAN stay at home, she should be taking up the slack around the house. But... that being said, please pick…

Fabulous work!!!!!!!!

My husband is supportive of most all things that I do to make me happier. He supported me when I was 250 pounds, he supports me now at 160. He supports my choice to make different versions of dinner for each of us, by assisting with the extra dishes. He supports that while he is watching tv and the stationary bike is too…

"It's one of those things that you DON'T have to give up when you want to lose weight. While those munchies are a killer, you learn to make it work... like with event showers, birthday parties, etc. and other things that you don't wish to give up but still want to enjoy" :wink: I know many many people who smoke weed on…

What would I do???? :huh: I would have informed my teenage daughter about "pot" before a manicurist did. Letting her know that some people smoke it for a buzz that happens to be safer than the effects of alcohol and some use it to cope with pain under the supervision of a medical professional. :smokin: I would also have…

I've got a few pounds to go, but my thoughts on myself are as follows.... When I lost 40 pounds did my boobs shrink? Yes a bit, but they are BETTER :wink: When I lost 40 pounds did I get a deflated balloon belly? Yes, but it's soooo much more attractive in clothing than the INFLATED balloon belly :wink: When I lost 40…

I'm a witty, honest Mexican.... *looks down at skin*, *tests out accent*... :huh:

For the WIN.

You have done amazing!!! I'm learning more and more each day that maintaining the loss is one of the hardest things I have ever done. You may be inspired by the stories of OTHERS... but YOURS is one to the stories that inspires ME and OTHERS. Today, I am thankful that I have gone from the "I'll do it tomorrow" girl to the…

If you want to lose weight... the only word that matters in your post is START. :flowerforyou:

<3 u Marla!!!
