Welcome! You'll find lots of support here not to mention tips on nutrition and exercise. We're here for you on your journey, I'd wish you luck but you won't need it. :wink:

Well, for me, though I did and do have a considerable amount to lose, it wasn't until I hit 50 or 60 lbs. that I could go down a size and not until 80 or 90 lbs. that people started noticing. But now that I got over the initial hump my sizes are decreasing more rapidly and people are noticing with fewer pounds lost.

I was in a band for many years and people are cruel, there were lots of nights that people yelled terrible things from the audience then I'd start to sing and they'd shut up but one night I was in a mood and answered back with, "Do I come to McDonald's and bother you while your at work?" The rest of the audience laughed…

Definately Muse, "Uprising"

I have a great veggie lasagne recipe. If you're interested send me a message and I'll send you the recipe.

I have to agree with the above. The only person who is going to convince your wife to be more diligent about her calorie counting and exercise is your lovely wife. Really the only thing you can do is lead by example and concentrate on your own goals. Ask her to go to the gym with you or workout with you (I don't know that…

Awesome! Isn't that a great feeling?!

My motivation is usually my family or my health, it has even been something as simple as the support of my co-workers, but when I'm just not feelin' it MFP is my motivation. There have been nights when I spent the entire drive home convincing myself not to go to the gym and I get on MFP and see what my friends have been…

Well, carrots and cellary ar always good and have a good crunch.

Good luck! I know you can do it!

That's a good one Dan, I'll have to remember that.

Well done! Keep up the great work!

Welcome to the MFP of it all! I hope it turns out to be as great a tool for you as it is for me.

I'm totally in!

I so know what you mean! I did something to my hip and can't figure out what the dang problem is other than old age. :drinker:

Welcome to MFP! This has been a great tool for me and I hope it is for you as well!

That's awesome and your deserve congratulations however I really wish people wouldn't (not just you) use this site as a way to promote their home business ventures. Its one thing if someone asks for advice on supplements or a workout program but another entirely if you put up a profile just to sell something to the people…

She took the words right out of my mouth! :happy: :laugh:

Try using a stabiliity ball. Make sure that it is the correct size otherwise it's no use. Sit on the ball so your knees are parallel, roll your tush down until your tail bone is in the ball and your tush is sort of hanging off and do crunches that way. I have lost about 90 lbs now and the hanging belly is one of my biggest…

Freaking hilarious! Your pain hangs in the air like a dense fog I feel for you man!

I too am a cancer survivor, though not thyroid, and gained a ton of weight due to drugs and side effects and lack of energy. You have my support! :wink:

Great job! I've been there, well done.

What a triumph! How inspiring! Congratulations of the highest level!

Fills you up and it's something you can share with the kids! They think they're getting a treat and it's a really healthy snack. I used those make your own popcicle forms with this and my 3 year old loves it!

Incredible! You've done such a great job so far, keep it up!

Think to yourself, "Thin tastes better than anything I could put in my mouth!" You can do it!

I'm looking most forward to my Papa being proud of me and having two boobs again (I had a mastectomy while I was pregnant and can't have reconstruction until I weigh less than 200 lbs, I figured that deserved an explanation)

Welcome aboard! Glad you could join us! :laugh:
