I got bloodwork back in September and for the first time ever my cholesterol was in the high range. My doctor told me if I didn't get things under control, I would need to be on meds for it. And that has been my biggest motivator. Something just clicked when I saw those results. I've been using MFP since October and am…

I see internet dating as just another means to meet someone. No different really than meeting someone in the grocery store, bar, etc. I wouldn't say I was "dating" anyone unless I had met them, gone on a few dates, etc. I'm a busy professional, I don't like bars, and so internet dating was perfect for me. I had some fun,…

I used to, but made DH go to a sleep clinic and he was diagnosed with sleep apnea. He uses a c-pap machine now and no more snoring (well, except when he "forgets" to put it on but that's another issue, lol).

Wow, that's awesome! I had a similar "aha" moment which lead me here. For the first time, my cholesterol crossed into the high range and it was a kick in the pants. I've lost 17 pounds so far and am hoping for better blood results when my doctor rechecks them in January. Glad you posted this - gives me hope! Congrats!!

Whenever someone asks me an inappropriate question, I always defer to the Ann Landers' "why would you ask that" response!

Me too! The first week I lost like 3 pounds, but then the next two weeks I stalled. Didn't gain, but didn't lose. I was very frustrated! But, I stuck it out and have lost every week since then. I'm determined to win the mind game this time!

Hey girlie! I'm nowhere near or at goal, but like you, I've tried everything and never could last very long. For whatever reason, it is clicking with me now. Part of it has to do with some not so great blood results I got and my willpower NOT to be on medication for certain things. So, when I think of cheating I think…

you look great! Thanks for posting - I started at 280 and it often feels like I will never get to onederland - thanks for the inspiration!

That is actually what prompted me to MFP. I've always been a "healthy" overweight - cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure normal. A few weeks ago I had some blood work done and my cholesterol is now in the high range (not astronomic, but still higher than it needs to be). My triglycerides were also above 150 for the…

Funny you say that - I browse the success stories every morning for inspiration and I've thought many times about what I WILL say in mine WHEN I reach goal!

Raising hand! It seems so overwhelming at times. I've lost 12 pounds so far and while I know that is great, I can't help but think "yeah, it is just a drop in the bucket" when you consider how much I have to lose.
