Well said! We (women and men) are raised thru media to believe that THIN and BEAUTY go hand in hand. So many young people grow up with body dismorphic issues because of this. Thin is glamourized while being overweight is ostersized in our communities. There are men and women alike that prefer "meat on the bones", but as…

I think you will find MFP to be a very useful tool in your weight loss. It will put into clear numbers exactly what you are eating and allow for you to make portion controled choices. If you havent found it yet, they also have a free phone app which would help hubby stay accountable when away from home. Please send me a…

I am speechless! Simply WOW!!!

1st off, CONGRATS on 70 lbs lost! 2nd off WB :) Since this is a lifestyle change and not a diet, there are going to be bumps in the road, but making that decision to begin again and complete your weightloss journey is the best first step! Feel free to send me a request :) Would love to be a cheerleader for you!

You go Girls! Congratulations : )

OMiGosh, I would have never come up that one on my owm! Thank you :))

That is great! So glad you are past the withdrawals and well on your way to healthier you....but can someone please tell me what NSV stands for? I feel silly asking, but I have run it thru my head over and over and can't grasp the meaning lol

Welcome to MFP! I wish you much sucess in your weightloss journey ;) If you are wanting friends for support and encouragement, send me a request :)

Welcome to MFP! Your going to love it here ;) If you haven't discovered the phone app yet, you will want to check it out. It makes tracking your food/exercise so much easier. Wishing you much success!

Welcome aboard! Sending an invite :)

Sweet Tea...and how I do miss it!!! Never was a soda junkie, but I did elimate fast food and fried foods completely. Other than that, everything in moderation....watching the caloric intake and the portion sizes. 5 weeks, 18lbs gone :))

Keep up the good work! I know I find the phone app to be great help in keeping me on track. I'm pretty much addicted to the scanner lol

Welcome aboard! You've joined an amazing site with wonderful and supportive people :) Im not too far from Big D, if you're still wanting new friends please send me a request : ))

and that waist line! Good job! I wish you continued success :) Keep up the good work!

I think you look phenomenal! I think most everyone is challenged one way or another by weight and body image, but often times people don't "think" before they speak. You look amazing!

Admittedly I am a scale junkie. I weigh 5-10 times a day! I get so frustrated with my scales, they tend to gain or loose 3-5 lbs in a matter of minutes. I find myself weighing three times in a row and taking an average. I probably need to have hubby hide the scales and let me have them once a week....but I know me, I'll…

Sometimes the truth hurts!

I considered the HCG diet very seriously, even as far as making a Dr's appt. Thankfully the doctor that prescribes the program asked that I read a couple of books on the subject, especially HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide: a Supplemental Guide to Dr. Simeon's HCG Protocol. After reading the book, I was completely amazed and…

You bet it does! I'm only two weeks into using MFP....but Im actually enjoying the counting this time around :)
