Thank you so much, Cody. I appreciate and agree with everything you wrote. You are exactly right and it was just the encouragement I needed :)

Thank you all for sharing your stories! This is exactly what I have been dealing with the last 2-3 months. The inches are coming off and people are noticing I'm smaller, but the scale numbers just don't want to move! It gets discouraging and I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I was even tempted to stop exercising long…

I have about 70 lbs to lose. I have already lost 55. I am always happy to have encouragement and support from more of my MFPeeps ;). Feel free to add me!

I am a single sahm and homeschool Mom. I stay busy and have put everything and everyone else above me. I am finally realizing the need to take care of myself. I lost 35 lbs in 2014 and am down 55 lbs from my highest weight. I have learned that, for me, all calories are not created equal. In order to really lose, I have to…

My mother has nerve damage in her legs that causes her a lot of pain every single day. She's been almost reduced to sitting in a chair most of the time. I recently found that there are videos for exercises on Youtube that you do from a chair and even chair yoga. It is a less painful way for her to get light exercise in.…

Friend request sent :) I, too, have tried every trick in the book. I was thinking about it today... It's kind of like being bricked into an area and knowing that the only way out is climbing. People try to sell you every other way it, but the only real way is just to face reality and climb the wall. Or stay fenced in and…

I'm a 36 yr old single mom. I want to lose the baby weight. My daughter is almost 13. LOLOL! Anyone is free to add me. I'm fairly new here, but I love it and am very plugged into it.

I am a 36 yr old single mom. I went through a particularly terrible divorce 10 yrs ago and haven't felt "hot" in a long time. I have tried and failed and tried and failed over and over because I couldn't believe that I could achieve my dream or hold onto the idea that it was important enough. My mom is in her early 60s and…

I have been on a diet or thinking I should go on a diet every day of my life since I was ten. I would yoyo up and down through my teen years, but I was never thin. I was almost a normal weight for about a minute when I was in 8th grade. Then I gained back weight that I'd lost plus some extra. My obesity (which was about 70…

Hi, my name is Amy. I haven't been on here very long, but I lost almost 40 lbs on my own before joining. I tend to go up and down though. I'd like to eliminate some of the back and forth and speed up the losing :) I am learning the importance of making good food choices in order to be successful. All calories are not…

Hi, Sarah :). Your story sounds a lot like mine. I struggled with weight from the time I was 10, but I've just gotten bigger until I peaked at 270 lbs and a size 24. Little by little I've been changing my attitudes about food and am down 43 lbs from what I weighed four years ago. In my 20s I was more worried about my…

I've been on here almost a week and am pleasantly surprised at how encouraging and supportive people are. Weight loss is a constant battle for me, but over the last few years I've lost 43 lbs. Sometimes I gain some of it back, but then I get it off plus a little more. Feel free to add me! We can all use all the support we…

Mom, you can do this! I want NOW to be the beginning of the best of our lives! Forget things not tasting as good as skinny feels. Nothing tastes as good as healthy and reduced pain feels! I'm excited and completely determined with a clarity that i don't think I've ever had. No more excuses. No more "365 reasons to party…
