I have lost 20 lbs in six weeks and have never felt more alone~!
I didn't know if I wanted to cry or laugh this morning. I have lost 20 pounds in six weeks. I am doing my thing. I signed up here but I am not sure why anymore. I can log my food and can read posts and stories, but I can't interact with anybody. Nobody answered when I introduced myself here and I have 0 friends -not sure…

‘Twas the night before Christmas (For Dieters)
While trying to navigate through the Holidays without derailing my weight loss (almost 40 lbs soon) I came across this gem and thought I share it here on my MFP board with all of you. Four days ago, I tried to eat myself into a sugar coma. I went from being completely sugar-free for 105 days to "eating all the sweets you…

Lady Magenta *Update* I am no longer lonely here, now I feel I belong
I have lost 30 lbs in 75 days. The scale showed 318 lbs today in the morning. I started at 348 in September. :) I don't even know if weight loss is the most important achievement right now. So much has changed. It seems it finally 'clicked', and I am in command of the food I eat. Perhaps I finally understood that food is…

Will it be still a good Christmas if I don’t fall off the wagon?
Over the last six or seven years I made numerous attempts to lose weight. I followed trend diets and tried to copy what everybody else was doing. High Protein, low carb! Smoothies and juicing! You name it, I have done it. I am obese, morbidly obese. The highest weight and my start weight in September was 348 lbs. It always…

I feel humble and full of joy -all 313 pounds of me
I took a day off today. Christmas had to come out of the attic and somehow find its way into our living room. We are older now. My husband is 66 and I just turned 61. When you get older, things get harder. When I got bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier, it almost killed me. Moving hurt, moving left me huffing and…

It's me -again! Now down 32.4 pounds (Day 82) and in Love :)
The scale showed 315.6 lbs this morning. I have lost 32.4 pounds since September. I am all smiles. I have started to take pictures of myself. Not too pretty, but very honest. I will be a success story, so I will need them. :-) I am sugar-free (no added sugar), and the other day, I decided to eat the old soy yogurt that had…

Well, Oprah, thanks but "No" (Update Lady Magenta now 25 lbs)
I was wondering when someone would notice my weight loss. Even for a big lady like me, 25 lbs is a lot. I can feel it. I have left the 5x tunic blouse behind and I am now wearing a very loose 4x tunic soon to be replaced with a 3 X. I know, most of you can gratefully not relate and I hope you will never get that big. But,…

Obese RA-Worrier fighting for normality
I will be 61 years old soon but don't feel like it. The numbers in my head and on paper don't match. I was diagnosed with RA 14 years ago, and I had my fair share of ups and downs. I was always overweighed, and then, when moving hurt too much, and I was put on prednisone and other 'good' stuff, I ballooned up to 350 lbs. I…

"Workout for whales" needed or 15 minutes of something?
I am heavily overweight (325 lbs) but down 23 lbs from where I started not even two months ago. Someone asked me if I work out today at a different thread. I know I need to but where do I start and is what I have planned even realistic? When I call it "Workout for whales" I don't mean it disrespectful and I don't try to be…

Want to join me on my journey to lose over 100 pounds without weight loss medication?
I am a 60-year-old female and for the life of me, I don't know how this happened. Did time fly? I am only 40 in my mind? I feel much younger and want to be active again. However, due to a chronic pain disease, I stopped moving around and started an almost sedentary lifestyle. I have taken Prednisone for 10 years which made…
