That is really amazing for 20 days work. Really shows what dedicated hard work can do.

"You don't look like you weigh that much" is a good thing. "Is that all you weigh? I thought you would weigh more than that." Now that would be a bad thing. We do tend to be sensitive about our weight. But you are in normal range for your height, you are within 10lbs of your desired weight and you look like you weigh less…

You were cute before, but you are WOW! now.

That is wonderful. Keep on maintaining! That's the part I failed to do. You look great and I know you feel great. Nothing taste as good as being healthy feels.

Love the zig zag thing...that is so true. The thing that is keeping me going, this time, is that I am not being so strict on the calories and going for a slow weight loss. I want to loose it all Right Now but in the past I would burn and fizzle in a short time with trying to go too fast. I'm in for life this time. This is…

Happy Birthday! I'll drink to that.

mmmmm. I like that idea

Thanks! That is a great site.

You look great. Are you sure there is 45 lbs to take off???? You really look tiny.

Oh how I see myself in you 20, 30 years ago. I will tell you what I wish I could have told me. Don’t wait for perfection to embrace your beauty, your femininity, your sexiness. Yes, you will look even better as you loose weight, but you are beautiful right now. You do not need to try to hide in those bulky shirts because…

Have you been to a doctor? That would be a good place to start.

Looking good!!!

That is so incredible what you were able to accomplish in just one year. I hope you plan to stay on MFP for life. You are a true inspiration for others.

I'm 53 but feel 40 :-) unless i'm walking, but no kids.

Whey protein does tase good. Is there any protein that is not from milk that tase good? I've tried some that are awful.

Thanks fo asking because I need to know too. Milk products make me break out . Big cystic break-out, not good at any age.

Welcome! I have been on for almost 1 week and I wake up thinking about MFP :drinker: At least It keeps me aware of what I am eating and how much I move. The support is great here. Donna

I am 53, 4'11" and 225 lbs. I have pain in my legs and knees when I walk and even more when trying to just stand for any lenght of time. When I was in my late teens and early 20's I went thru a lot of insane diets. One hamburger patti a day and then there was the one banana a day, always did extreme diets trying to be that…

Oh, I just remembered, years ago I was going to a personal trainer and when I had a migraine but was able to function with the Maxalt he would have me do light resistant work with bands and light weighst to not over excert but to keep the blood flowing and it went surprisinglly well.

I know migraines are caused by many diferent things. I take Maxalt for mine and most of the time I am able to function. I'm not experienced enough to answerr your question, but I wanted to share what has greatly reduced the frequencey of my migraines. I have eliminated all dark colored sodas. I had to prove this theory to…

What a great question. I like reading the other replies. The vitamix blender for my spinach, carrots, tomatoes, peanut butter, banana and almond milk smoothie. It makes me feel good and satisfied and I don't have as many cravings. But I'm the only one I know that like my smoothie. I also add flax but not in the blender.

Wow! This really gives me hope. I am just starting out and it seems very daunting.

Not your exactly your twin, more like the Christmas ghost of your future if you don't stay on track. lol 53 4'11' SW 230 CW 225 GW 125 I lost 4 lbs b4 joining MFP

I thought I was really crazy. I couldn't find it anywhere on this site and then I found it on my iPhone. That seems strange that it is on the phone app but not on here. Thanks to everyone that tried to help.

Thanks for your response, guys, but that is still not what I'm looking for. What I saw told how many fat grams consumed, the goal fat grams and the number of grams still availble...did this on sugar, protein,, iron etc. Am I crazy/// I'm sure I saw this somewhere. Anyone else?

This is a journey you will detour "every once in a while" and then get back on the path keeping your eye toward where you want to go. Every moment is a choice. Don't look back you have to allow some flexability or you will crash a burn.

Welcome! I am on day three here and I also have 100 lbs to lose. I don't cook either. The Vitamix machine has been a god-send for me. I used to HAVE to have a drive thru burger or Taco Bell. Now if I don't have at least one smoothie a day I feel awful. They are expensive but now knowing how much it is changing my life, I…
