Good morning from Chicagoland USA. I've lost a few pounds recently after reaching the heaviest weight I have ever been. Quite embarrassed at myself when I look in the mirror so really need to get that weight off and get healthy. Would love some motivational supportive friends to help me along the way. I have over 50 lbs to…

I am 5 ft 2 and weigh 188. Already lost 6 lbs. I do better with accountability. So much harder to lose as I have gotten older. Currently 46 yrs wise. Need some friends to help make it thru. Please friend request me.

Hi, I am a 41 year old mom of 3 ages 21, 15 and 5. Been on a roller coaster and have fallen off the tracks a few times the last few years. Looking to make 2015 a permanent lifestyle change as well.

"I'll Be There" - originally Jackson 5 - then by Mariah Carey

We had many reps like that - there was one that every Friday brought in Starbuck's for the office and the doctor - didn't really see the doctor that often, but brought it in and dropped off stuff for the staff and make sure we had all the samples we needed. Those kinds of things slowed down when they put more regulations…

^^ Truth in this. Drug reps do provide doctors with lunches - true, but they discuss the ins and outs of the drug and answer the doctors questions. The doctors I worked for would even request the reps to come in to discuss different things about the drugs to see if it was a common problem/solution and such. The doctors I…

I have had severe bouts of migraines too, nothing helped. Laid in urgent care for hours with all the different migraine treatments given. Nasal Imitrex I found to be my best fix. I have used nothing but peppermint oil on my temples and taking a few deep breaths of it with my migraines for many years now. I suggest getting…

Having worked in medical offices before and meeting with drug reps consistently - this is very true, no matter how minuet the chance of a side effect, they have to list it. Did you know that Tylenol can cause liver damage? It's only with extremely high doses of repeat usage, but they must list it. Working in a urology…

Last year she did a science fair project in which she took a plain burger and fries from McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's and a Homemade. She observed them and kept them in the same kind of plastic containers for over a month to see the breakdown of each - Homemade was incredibly disgustingly moldy with multiple colors of…

Thank you everyone! She has been doing a different project involving eating hot peppers and seeing which liquids would dissipate the burning mouth the fastest, but it wasn't working out so well for her, she doesn't like hot stuff and it was making her feel sick, so she hasn't been able to finish it. I told her to find a…

Thank you for your help!!

I weigh everyday - first thing in the morning after using the restroom - but only log maybe every week or two. Like knowing how what I am eating and what I am doing reacts on the scale. edited to show time of day :)

Great Attitude and confidence OP. I don't wear bikinis - even at a younger much slimmer (size 0-1) age - I have always been self conscious - working on that. Thanks for the inspiration.

Is hubby a healthy weight or does he need a lifestyle change as well? I would suggest that he make his own account and join you on your journey so that he can see how much he is eating as well. My hubby and I are on here together. And actually my hubby is the one that showed me the site. It is an eye opening experience…

OJ in cereal???? That gave the the hebbies - yucky. I would eat it dry.

I never drink Diet - I think it tastes nasty...And have switched to the soda stream - no high fructose corn syrup - I carbonate my water and add the syrup of choice. I don't think pop is good for me - but don't think it will kill me either. May make weight loss a little slower - though I don't think I drink enough to make…

Da Bears!!! Although I also like the Atlanta Falcons as well - I was born and raised a Georgia peach - can't not cheer for the Falcons :) I don't watch sports though - football included.

Great Job! Love the pics showing the changes you have made. Congratulations!

Hubby and I are doing this journey together, and he decided he is following the Biggest Loser Weigh-Ins, so now it is Wednesday mornings.

Things already listed are annoying as well, but I think my biggest pet peeve of all time is being lied to. Slow, ignorant drivers are annoying too. Dirty bathrooms. People that let their kids run around all over with no supervision. People that wear a whole bottle of perfume/cologne - that kills me! Especially when at a…

Varies - but try to eat many smaller meals throughout the day - so that I don't get hungry. Dinner is usually my largest meal - but I like having a family meal together where we all sit and eat together, so I save my largest meal for that time. I would prefer to not eat that late, but having the family time is much more…

I ask "why's" all the time too :) I do wish my hubby would help me more - but no one is perfect. He works hard and long hours and pays the bills - I do everything else - literally. I make his lunch everyday, do laundry, clean, take care of kids, cook dinner every night, shopping, taking out the garbage, pretty much…

I think we are both quite intelligent - both learn quickly - each excel in dfferent areas. And we compliment each other nicely :) Hence the reason we celebrate 20 years of marriage this New Year's Eve!

^^^made me laugh too. And so true!

Married to one, mother of one and grade school friends with two. I have a few that we have talked about meeting up, just haven't had the chance yet. And I have many MFP friends that I would love to meet at sometime.

Bump. Thanks

I am so happy...actually lost 0.2 last week with Thanksgiving! Yay! Ate a lot and drank a lot (visiting family out of town). So happy I lost, though it be small, a loss :)
