Wow, your story is amazing. It's great to hear about the progress you and your wife have made so far. I love this site and have been very happy with the firends I have. They have been great and there for you on good and bad days. Feel free to add me :)

Mine is Eileen and I like it, used to hate it when I was a kid beacuse it was my mom and grandmother's middle names.

Drinking to much water to fast can acctually cause death. While I was at basic traning we had someone who died due to this. There have been a few other cases with Marines also. Moderation is the key and if your body dosen't want anymore it will tell you.

I have two things I do. I love clothes and shoes, I so when I reach a large goal of losing 10lbs I will reward myself with one of those. For mini goals like 5lbs I will do something different that's not to crazy, like get my nails done, or a pedicure or a small treat (though the more I do this the less I seem to want…

Welcome to MFP! Love the name and that you are using it as part of your goal! I am never that cerative! I come from a family history similiar to what you are going through so I understand partly your frustrations with the doctors. I have had to watch both of my parents and my sister who is 8 years younger than me deal with…

Welcome back! Adding you now and happy new year!

I can understand your frustration! I have been there many times and get mad at me and then I seem to get further behind in my goals. What have learned is that I need to do this for me and regroup. We are all going to have times when things are not going to go our way and it's what we make of those times and push through…

Hi and welcome to MFP! I love the support I get on here from my friends. I am also very busy and can understand how you feel. I work full time (about 12hrs a day), taking 2 classes for school and have a small part time home business. So free time what is that!!! I am going to be starting a Challenge group on 16 Jan if you…

It's a combination of things that you need to do like everyone else is saying. You need to workout and stick to a workout, you maybe only get through 10 mins the first time but as you keep doing it you will be able to longer and longer. Your diet is also a huge factor, just because you worked out you can't eat what you…

Other people have posted a lot of good info for you. I agree your doctor is not that right on with your calorie intake. If you are doing that much cardio and only eat 1,000 to 1,200 a day you are going to get stuck. You should look at adding in some strength training also. There are some really great protien shakes out…

I understand how you feel. I work a full time job go, also go to school (I am trying to get my BS very quickly so I have no breaks), my husband is in another state right now due to our work, so I have to take care of the house and everything else on my own. Trying to cook and eat right and then study, get my workout in was…

I so understand your issues!!! I had lost 40 stones in late 2009 to early 2010 then gained all but 3 stones back. I have now lost 5!!! But can't seem to lose any more.
