Congratulations on your weight loss...That is Awe-SOME....you can really see in your pictures...Keep up the great work..You have Motivated me to stick with it...I have 50lbs to lose but would love to take off 75lbs if possible...

Start weight : 210 Current weight: 210 Goal weight: 190 Ultimate Goal: 160 I'll be weighing in on Saturdays...starting with this Saturday the 20th

Kirk...you are right on!....Testing can be expensive...and lost of GI doctors hate doing the Celiac biopsy...Stick with Fresh Real Foods....Try to eat it in its pure form whenever possible....

My 8 year old son is on the Autism Spectrum. He always had digestive issues..so we started the Gluten Free diet..he never was tested...but after 2 weeks...I really noticed the difference in his behavior...and he wasn't crying so much because his tummy was hurting...You don't miss the Bread and pasta and cookies and such...…

ALSO...remember to drink lots of water throughout the day...8 to 10 glasses is good..it helps flush out the toxins....at least it helps me lose a little bit more weight when I stick to that!

I like to eat fruit with a Chicken breast...sounds kinds weird BUT it's pretty good together...kinda like a breakfast salad. Or I make a smoothie ....other times when I'm really hungry I'll eat poached eggs and toast...but I try to keep my carb intake low...I know that's the only way the weight will come off....So no…

Jean jay..Way to go!...you can already tell that the weight is falling off..keep it up!...I just joined and wanting to lose 50lbs by Valentines 2015....

You are right...crap is crap..even if it's gluten free...I know I have to watch my carb intake to lose weight...just joined..trying to lose50lbs..again...feel free to friend me if you want!

I know what you mean..I love food...and eating it!..just joined too..trying to lose 50lbs again...Feel free to friend me!

I cannot lose weight and drink on a regular basis either...too much sugar and carbs for me!

Way to go!...you know what needs to be done...and you are doing it...feel free to friend me!

Lots of vigorous house cleaning....which counts!..tomorrow..doing Zumba....can't wait:drinker:

That is rude..I also hate it when someone says..OhYou HaveSuch a Pretty face!...What's that suppose to mean...lol

What are smart ones?

Don't know yet...I'm gonna do my first weigh in this Sat....I'm so Excited!

I do alittle bit of both!....MY family celebrates with eating...and I have a hard time going to family functions and NOT eating... I know I'm an emotional eater..so it depends on the occasion...and where I'm at emotionally.... It's just something I'm working on now...I need to figure out if I'm REALLY hungry...or just…

I've heard that you should: 1) put lotion on your skin everyday....2) Do toning exercises (resistance bands or weights) If you lose the weight with no toning you'll just be "Skinney Fat"....like Jonah Hill the actor... He lost lots of weigh, but he still looks chunky...lol

I have to admit that it does turn me off to see overweight fitness instructors...My BAD...but I cannot trust someone who does not practice what they preach! Fit instructors Motivate me..and challenge me to do better...

Thank you Scott for sharing those words of Wisdom....you are truly committed to this way of life ....and it shows in your weight loss!...Keep up the good work...:smile:

Congratulations on your weight loss!...You are awesome...and Thanks so much for sharing those Pics...IMHO...Pics never lie....It can go both ways...the Pictures show us when we have Gained the weight....:sad: BUT Pictures can also show us our SUCCESS in this weight loss journey....:drinker: .....Keep us updated....

I know what you mean...it's like those extra calories are the Reward...like money burning a whole in my pocket!...If I do end up wanting to use them ....I try to eat somethng LOW CARB...I know for me...keeping the carbs down is essential to my weight loss...Hope that helps...and keep up the Good Work!

This might sound simple.....I found that I needed to chew something..not that I was truly hungry..But...just needed to chew as a stress reliever...so I started to chew Gum at night...and it has helped..alot..

Sounds so familiar...whenever I get around my family...I get this nervous energy...and I end up eating everything in sight!...We get along well NOW...but growing up was hard with them..lots of negativity in their thinking...But I love them!....I just feel self conscience around them...like I am six yrs old again...and…

Sorry to hear you have been having troubles....try taking it just one meal at a time....ok you ate too much...Soooooo next meal you get back on track...No Big deal...beating yourself up will only trigger another binge...We all do it...We are here for you!((HUGS))

I understand where you are coming from...Thanks for sharing ((BIG HUGS)) to you...I sometimes cycle through a period of binge eating...and then it just stops.... I really try to focus on my body...am I really hungry or is it thirst...sometimes its hard to tell the difference...Keeping a food journal helps alot! ALSO...this…

I do ZUMBA and walking tapes...I love Leslie Sansone (Walking off the pounds)....I also go to YOUTUBE and bring up tons of free fitness videos...I also workout with Resistance Bands twice a week (15min each session).... I prefer to workout at home...I'm so done with the Gym scene:drinker:

Thanks for sharing.....1)Food is NOT your enemy!.....2)You are in control.....3)Take it a MEAL at a time...I know you can do this....We are here for YOU! ((HUGS))

Hi...I just joined MFP a few days ago...I've done various programs off and on..I plan on combining food portioning with resistance bands...I want to lose weight and TONE my muscles at the same time...I don't want to be "Skinny Fat" but "FIT"....enjoy!

Some people are over zealous and his approach stank...((HUGS))....Hope you have a better day today!....

Are Male or Female...I'm sorry ...I could not tell...
