I started off 308.8lb in July 2011 when I first joined MFP. I'm down to 288lbs as of today. I would love to have you as a friend! We can support each other,....lol.

Thin Honey Wheat Thomas English Muffin w/ Peanut butter is onne of my favorites!!!!

Where should I start? Well first, I'm going to throw a party for myself and invite all my High School friends who was skinny in High School and is now not so skinny and show them the NEW ME! Then I'm going to ride on all the roller coaster rides that I was too fat to fit in! Then I'm going to wear a one piece bathing suit…

You did great! Lifestyle change for sure!

Well, I would say the 85 calorie difference isn't too bad at all. MFP is normally kinda good with it's estimations.

Question: Did your HRM or the machine calculate your weight before you started your workout? MFP goes ouff of your weight. I had a friend ask me why is it that when I workout for 30 minute on the elliptical I burn a few hundred more calories than when she does 30 minutes on the elliptical? My answer is: Because I weigh so…

Yea, don't worry about going over in Protein. Most of us will go over due to MFP required amout being a little low! Good luck to you on your weight loss!

I'm with you Freda! If I eat a sandwich, I have to have mayonnaise,...lol. Mustard don't cut it for me!

Old is as old as you feel! I'm younger than my children and their ages are 19, 18, 16 and 11.

Freda, I think it's just today! Maybe it's something in the air because I have no motivation or strength at all!!!!! I only did 15 on the elliptical even though I tried to go longer. I was just plain tire. Tomorrow you will wake up ready to get back to your Zumba!! This will pass!

You look awesome!! Good luck!!!!!

You look great! Keep maintaining your health!!!

Nice job!

Looking Great!!! Keep up the hard work!!!

I hit the scale every other day but I log once a week on Sunday mornings!!!

Hey, you look awesome! Keep up the good work. I am desperately working to get there!

Congrats!!!!!!!!! You look totally awesome!!!!!

Wow, I have sooo many things that I can mention but this stands out the most. On July 8th I found my scale (which had been hidden purposely by me) and I stood on it. My scale literally had line (- - -) across it. I immediately panicked! I though I broke it!!!! I went on the Walmart's website to search for a new scale. I…

Your are soooooo AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy to know you!!!!

I use my elliptical trainer every night and I go with MFP figures! Because I know that the number are misconstrued, I do not eat the calories back after a workout!

Nice!!! Sounds awesome!!!

Thanks for letting me know! I'm definitely trying to lose weight in my thighs. I wouldn't mind having Venus Williams thighs but I think I need to trim off some of the fat first [laughing at myself - Venus thighs]! Thanks again for educating me on this machine. I certainly burns calories for sure! I pushed myself to go for…

I log everything down to the butterscotch I eat,....LOL

I hang in there with all of my friends no matter the length of non-activity. I get messages in my inbox from some saying "how depressed they are" or "they have been really going through problems". I keep them as friends to keep encouraging them so they know I'm pulling for them and as a friendly reminder of "what I do not…

True,.... so true!!!! Keep up the good work Sis!!!!

Good for you!!!! Hard work paying off!!!!!

Nice!!!!!!!!!

You look absolutely wonderful!!!! Congrats!!!! I'm working on getting there myself.

Even when I find myself struggling to hold on, I think of my friends on here. I figure if I can spend time on face book then I can log on to MFP an check on my friend's progress and log in my journal as well. I actually find myself logging into MFP more so than my face book now. I have something in common with everyone…

You have really accomplished a huge goal!!! You look wonderful!!!!
