Need some encouraging friends
I've been on MFP since January and have several friends but I need more that will help inspire me. I had gastric bypass surgery on February 15, 2006 and this February will by my 7th anniversary. The surgery helped me loose about 160 lbs but because I didn't make the life style change, I gained back 60 lbs. I have now lost…

Going over on protein
This may sound stupid but I was just wondering about going over on protein. The last couple of days I've been way over. I started a protein drink in the morning and have had chicken for either lunch or dinner. Are mine set to low? Is is bad for me to have to much protein?

25 years- What a journey. (pics included)
In the last 25 years I've gone from 250 lbs to 396 lbs back to 227 lbs. What a journey it's been. Not one I would have chosen for myself but I have learned so much about myself. I'm stronger than I ever thought I was. I've proved to myself I can do things even when everybody tells me I can't. Before- Age 18 Current- Age 43…

He is here this week so I went to my parents house to see him yesterday. The first words out of his mouth were " Meowy, (his nickname for me) you're so skinny!!!" When we…

This is for all of you on blood pressure medication
I had a health scare this last week. I hadn't been feeling well, getting very light headed to the point of almost passing out. I finally went to the doctor and was on the verge of kidney failure. My kidneys were functioning at about 12%. I went to a specialist and after looking at my chart, he determined that because I had…

Afraid to eat
Lately I've been afraid to eat. I've been on this weight loss journey for so long and I can see an end in sight. I have so much anxiety about it that when I do eat, my stomach hurts and I end up only eating a few bites of what I served. If I'm hungry, I drink water. I had a goal that I wanted to reach my goal weight before…

My progress so far
In February of 2006 I weighed 394 lbs. I wore a size 32W pant and 4/5X shirt. After trying everything to loose weight, I finally decided on gastric bypass. It helped me loose the weight but because I didn't make the lifestyle change that I should have, I gained back half of what I had lost. I finally made the commitment to…
