The Over 300 Club
I want to invite any MFP'ers that are over 300 to post so we can all support each other. I know there are several of us on here that are over 300 or were recently. All are welcome! I thought since we have similar calorie requirements and challenges it would be nice to have a thread to post in. :flowerforyou: Amy:bigsmile:…

Just have to get this off my chest
:frown: I have been surprised by some comments by people on this site lately and I know we are better than this. So let's all agree to institute a very good rule my mom taught me as a kid..."If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all." :flowerforyou: I mean I love all of the support and help I get here and I hope…

New and Limited so help may be needed :)
I just started using the Medifast Plan around Thanksgiving at the suggestion of my nutritionist who is a Medifast coach and had seen a lot of success with Medifast and clients like me recently. I had gastric bypass in 2001 and as you can see i have lost a good bit of weight and I have been up and down a few pounds here and…

Something positive I did to love me today! Please add!
So my doctor's goal for me this month was to make friends with myself and stop being my own worse enemy because he thinks my self talk is standing in my way of believing in myself. A friend on MFP suggested a list of good/positive things each day I did, so I am starting this thread for all who wish to to do just that. I…

August Goal-To be my own friend!
I saw my doctor Friday and I was finally under 300 on his scale and at 297 this is the lowest weight on record for me since the 4th grade!:drinker: So usually he gives me a weight goal for each month but this month is something different. His goal for me was to really work on not criticizing myself and to stop being my own…

Reading "Why We Get Fat" by Taubes
I am almost through "Why We Get Fat and What to Do About it" by Gary Taubes. It's a very good book and is worth a read. The first few chapters are a bit repetitive but then it flows and gets into the issues. Anyone else read it? If you have been obese most of your life like me or even became overweight later in life it is…

Starting today no wheat,soy, or fish
I had extensive food allergy testing and turned up many food allergies. :frown: My doctor suggested we start by eliminating wheat, soy, and fish since I was allergic to all fish except salmon which he said I could have. So I am starting today with a wheat, soy, and fish free. So far only habit changes and really careful…

Getting back on track
Anyone else lost momentum??? I plateau'd then moved and lost track of everything. Things have been tough time wise these past few weeks.

Taking Dave's advice Shocking right!
LOL! :laugh: Just kidding Dave! :happy: I gained 2 pounds since weigh in last Sunday. I think I had a lot of water weight loss last week though since I was taking antihistamine for my chest and head cold which is a diuretic for me. So I remembered what Dave198lbs said about the whining and I worked out with a trainer…

Another 1.5 gone forever!
I was kind of disappointed when I got on the scale and saw any 1.5 lb down. I think part of it was last time I weighed in the morning and this time in the evening after work so I know it was a little more fluid. I keep telling myself that 1.5 lost is a lot better than even .5 gained. I need to retrain my ego a bit I think…

I talked myself into exercising!
Okay maybe a small feat for some but I have been really tired the past two days for no good reason. I have done very well doing at least 15 min a day of something and even 30 some days then I did water aerobics(60 min) and strength training on Monday, but yesterday I talked myself out of the gym and just ate my regular…

Another 2 gone forever!
I lost two more pounds since last Tuesday. I must be getting closer to my calories although the past two days I did really badly and was under by 300+ each day. My body goes into starvation mode very easily because of my size so I plan to do better. I was doing well the beginning of the week but my calories kept getting…

Glucosamine and Condroitin
Hope I spelled those right:wink: Anyone take a good glucosamine and condroitin supplement? I was drinking Monavie but I just can't afford it right now and I was told a good natural form of these should help my knees and ankles. I tried cheap ones before but they just made my legs swell. Thanks!!:bigsmile: Amy:bigsmile:…

Calorie discrepancy HRM and websites
I have been using the calories from different websites according to height, weight, etc to enter my exercise each day then I borrowed a HRM from a teacher at work and it was a lot lower than the websites said. For instance this morning I did 15 min on the bike then 10 min working with bands and floor exercises. The HRM…

I did a full 30 minutes on my bike!!!!!
I bought my recumbent bike February 2008 with my tax refund and I used it faithfully last spring until we moved back into an apt. It got burried in my room and I used it as a clothes rack for months. At Christmas my sister helped me rearrange the furniture so I could put it in the living room and watch TV while I ride. I…
