  • But what can you do about cellulite anyways? I have a terrible time of doing of accepting my thighs, but things could be a lot worse! Back in the day, when I was very pregnant and out for a walk, a couple passer-bys, looked right at me and my big belly and said "that's just ugly." That was confusing. Shortly thereafter…
  • Old thread, sorry.
  • Cold Brew has become my go-to treat. I started with Starbux Narino cold brew and bought a Bod Brew system. I explore any coarse ground coffee as well as using the Starbux filter packs. I drink iced cold brew more often than hot, and enjoy it black, or with unsweetened coconut or almond milk. It is easy on my tummy besides…
  • I felt desperate to lose weight and tried Creative Bioscience 1234 diet drops which helped me to lose fat. I have kept off 50 lbs for 3 years now by keeping it real. Persevere!

  • I am overeating after having lost 50 lbs and need this support here. I really appreciate the tips, and will work on them. My favorite one so far is more exercise because I think I eat for entertainment too. Good question! Thanks
  • Truth.
  • Hi, I used diet1234 drops and lost 50 lbs, now learning how important it is to not overeat. Feel free to message and friend me. I keep telling people cuz I thought I would never be able to lose the fat. There is a lot of info online and even youtubes about weight loss. Some is phoney but some really helps. Make 2016 your…
  • Hi, I had 3 c sections that left my belly sagging. It was so bad it got caught in pants zippers. I had dried apple wrinkles all over my stretched out tummy. Yes, 3 beautifully healthy sons, all grown up. I always felt bad about my thighs, belly, upper arms, even back fat was beginning to show. So 2014, in desperation, I…
  • Hi, I would like to get more understanding on MFP. I have been here over 4 years, lost 50 lbs, and now maintaining and slowly gaining muscle. I am just not sure what I am doing and would love support. Currently 5'0", 113 lbs avg, 19% body fat, 93 lbs lean muscle mass. I would like to focus on strength building. Please add…
  • Thanks for the workout info.
  • Losing a lot of fat this past year made a difference to me too! and now want to build muscle strength. I am 5'0.5", 110 lbs and 19% body fat. Not being able to eat as much as I used to still is a shocker - but the way I look and feel makes it so worth it. I wear a size 2-4 and was pushing 14s when I started!
  • Hey, age is just a number right? I am 63, a tad less than 5'0", and my weight is less than 110 lbs. I just lost 50 lbs this past year. I think I can help you with support and ideas to lose the fat. Then you can start weight training to get strength and curves where you want them. If you think we have similar goals, send me…
  • Aloha, I am a tad taller than 5'0" and a tad less than 110 lbs. This past year I lost 50 lbs. Now I want to strength train and need support to get going on this. Looking for a twinsie not necessarily identical, but who sees something in common with me with goals. I am a retired school psych, 63, married, 6 sons, 2…
  • Thank you EydieMarie for the supplements info. I am 10 yrs older than you and know it will take time because of the loss of elasticity with age- but it is not forever. I am accepting the results of losing 50 lbs this past year with tolerance because it is healthier for me to be at my present weight despite the excess skin.…
  • Need to develop goals that can be measured with my Zip. This past year I lost 50 lbs and now I want to develop muscle strength and tone. I don't use my Zip for friends, so just need this group for motivation.
  • Hi and Aloha! I gained 45 lbs in menopause and was getting fatter and fatter no matter how much I exercised. I joined a gym, took daily fitness classes and kept upping my intensity wtih cardio workouts. I did feel more energetic with muscle growth, my daily activities seemed easier like walking up and down stairs and…
  • This is a great group for me too! I learn from your losses, your gains, your acceptance, your frustrations. Success Story: I had a goal of 140# before leaving on vacation Monday. I am going to Europe for 2 months and SOOOO excited! I met my goal by losing 15#. YAY ME! During these past three months, I learned to measure…
  • Aloha, I have not been spending much time on the computer so forgive me for not being with it. I have been packing and cleaning getting ready for our vacation as well as our move. My son's house is not in danger from the lava flow still and he is calming down. We will go there next week to bring supplies, and do some more…
  • Ooookkkkk, let's turn this trend around. I feel for all of you for the long haul when you have been losing and then hit snags in the road. For me I have a long haul of NOT LOSING and only gaining, so I am pretty happy to see my efforts are rewarded. I lost 2 lbs since last week :) Now let's kick some butt everybody!
  • ditto bvifun for kudos to all. bvifun - keep posting please to get support and give because just knowing you are thrilled and happy about your work here inspires! Grandmotherch - I was surprised at the big weight swings in 24 hrs for you. You got this vacation to enjoy though so just do it! Cabfjb- Welcome. Just want to…
  • Rant: I get angry easy with my son. Rave: I let it go of my anger quicker this time without using food to stuff the feelings down or comfort me.
  • Gran - you sound happy from your GD visit and had fun. Over Labor Day weekend we had several relaxed days and are keeping a watch on the lava flow headed towards cutting off a highway near my son. No evacuation is needed yet. My son loves the outdoors, camping etc and he is strong on survival skills. He will not be…
  • WINNERS ALL!! Computer- good loss especially getting close to your goal, not easy to get off the last little bit for most. JB - congrats as you have been struggling - bet you are happier with the effort than not trying? Marian - carbs will come right off, they put on like 3 lbs with the water retention, you've got this!…
  • Rant - I didn't appear to lose any weight on the scale today. Rave - and it didn't worry me too much.
  • Congrats on your weight loss! Love this Charlie - the new improved YOU! :flowerforyou:
  • Glad you are here Dreamon! Rant: I thought I had lost SO MUCH weight at 8 lbs that I tried on my jeans and shorts and they are still too tight! Rave: Now I understand how to tell if I am really losing weight or gaining weight besides weighing on the scale - TRY ON CLOTHES!
  • Dreamon - welcome, and are you going to log your food and exercise? I am getting more specific with my September goals because I tried on clothes yesterday. 1. Fit looser into my current jeans and shorts. 2. Lose 2 lbs each week for a total of 8#. 3. Swim everyday.
  • Happy 2 month Anniversary! I love that you found love and know how important it is to live, love, and learn. I was just realizing that I weigh about what I did when I met my dh - no guilt, just renewed my effort to get healthy :)
