You worked hard and it shows. Thanks for posting the pics.

Welcome to my fitness pal! I have some issues with having separate food for myself and kids, and it's not always easy to just eat my food ie gluten-free and lots of produce etc. So, I can understand the issue with family members and the fact that they don't gain extra weight like I do.

Nice to be reminded to be here to support one another.

Someone asked me if that was why I lost weight after I lost about 40 lbs.

I ate pizza a couple times this week. Nibbled some Newman's of my kids (I try to avoid gluten) and some rice crust for me. Sometimes I gain from doing this, but I wonder if it's all the salt. You painted all day. That would make me pretty hungry. Pizza= bread + tomato sauce + cheese + maybe meat and/or veggies...

I like your story. God Bless!!!

I had felt stuck at a certain weight +/- a few lbs, for 2 yrs. All this after I lost about 35-40 lbs. I'm not sure what works, but I recently joined this site and have lost more weight. I also try to eat as much fresh produce as I can compared to cooked and processed food. I feel like after joining this site, I have to…

Hello, I'm in SW pdx! Starting a couple yrs ago I needed to lose about 80 lbs. (I lost almost 40 with TOPS) I've been on this site a couple months and lost 7 lbs.

I like pizza, also. Any homemade meat that I make like chicken or fish I crave, although in my mind I try to eat very little meat in my diet. I've been using this site only a couple months and used to eat a lot more raw fruit until I saw how many calories are in it and even health food things, like raw cacoa nibs were…

I may weigh myself a lot. I got the Wii fit and weigh in everyday, I put away my bathroom scale for months, because it's not that accurate. Before the Wii weigh-ins, I was also weighing myself multiple times a day especially the days right before my weight loss group. Once I took the advice I read somewhere to only weigh…

Hello I'm in Portland.

Hello, Wow, what a wake-up call? Welcome to the site. You can add me as a friend :)

My doc said my goal is btw 130-150 lb, so I picked 140. I have been stuck btw 158-166 these past 2 yrs and it is frustrating. I keep reducing my diet and exercising more. I replace most of my clothes because about 3 yrs ago I was 203 lb, and felt progress and ok at this weight. I just recently got some pics back of myself…

...I would like to find a track to walk/jog/run on though, regularly.

No gym at school, there's one near by. I don't go to the gym, I'm a single mom and full time med student and work part-time at school. (So, busy juggling 3 schedules)! The last few mos of school last yr I exercised (walking around in empty classrooms at school or various things at home) and studied at the same time. Most…

Interesting.

Hello, I have lost 40 lb before this site and been trying to lose almost 25 lb for a couple yrs and have been stuck. Hang in there! I've been using this for only a few weeks. I'm hoping it'll help me get out of this rut. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Hello, welcome to the site. These past couple of weeks I've felt bad about not losing any weight and being stuck at a similar weight for a yr or two, but I lost 40 lb a couple years ago and realized that I have kept that off so that's a good thing. I like this site though, because I tend to nimble small bits of food…

Welcome! I've been here just a few weeks, and I like seeing what I am really eating/drinking; especially the small things, because I'm finding out they add up really fast.

Grew up in Oscoda. Is anyone near hear? I'm visiting my dad and feel stuck at the house without much food. It'd be cool if I could have someone pick my kids and I up and go somewhere...anywhere.... esp somewhere we can get a snack.

I hope you can have a good vacation. I am about to go home from mine and I have been around someone who makes a lot of comments about what me and my kids eat, but sneaks the food that he says we shouldn't eat. Hard on the mind. I have been trying to stay connected to this site and feel better. I haven't weighed myself in…

I was going to try a postal scale, but haven't used any yet.

Yes, I've had people say it. One person even walked away from the middle of a conversation after asking what I was doing to change my weight. It's good to have this site and help support each other!

Hello, I am new here too! Welcome.

Hello, I am also new. I have dealt with eating disorders as well as other things, including quitting smoking a few years ago. A couple or years ago, I had a better time losing weight, 35-40 lbs and now I feel stuck.
