Sharing my half way point! :)
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a before and after at the half way mark of my journey. I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and have lost/gained. The left pic was the end of 2022 after losing my Dad, my two senior dogs, becoming a caretaker for my aunt with dementia in his place and just not caring about…

BJ’s Brewhouse Nutrition info ?
Hey all. Do you read this as 880 for everything listed here? Tacos, chips and beans? There is nothing else listed to specify. TIA.

Does Yo-Yo cause permanent damage?
Hi! I have been inconsistent in my weight loss efforts for a long time. I can be consistent for a period of time. I have lost and gained the same 50lbs twice. I am now at the top end again. I am using my doctor and a therapist as tools this time around. My bloodwork is clear but the scale is moving extremely slow. I mean,…

VSG: regrets anyone?
Hello all. I am coming to a position where I can afford VSG. My doctor is telling me insurance won’t pay because while my BMI definitely qualifies, I don’t have a comorbidity to accompany it (yet). I can pay for it and I have read a lot of good things but I want to hear the bad. If you say you wouldn’t do it again, why?…

Blackstone Griddle oil question
I just got a blackstone and being cast iron it seems you have to use quite a bit of oil on it and the food to keep it from sticking. As someone counting calories I’m concerned about all of the added calories. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Weird question about regain.
I lost 60 pounds over 2 years. I gained it all back in a year due to craziness I won’t get into. Before I lost weight I was a size 24. I got into an 18. Now with my regain I was a 20 and now that I’ve lost 20 of the 60, still a 20. How did the regain only give me one size up when before at this weight I was a 24? Like…

Avoiding the doctor because I’m an idiot.
Long story short, I lost 60 lbs 2017-2018 due to severe depression. I went to the doctor at my lowest weight to get meds for my mental health and eventually weaned off with the help of therapy. With my new found not depressed state, I have not-so happily gained it back. Recently I’ve been experiencing vertigo, insomnia and…

Tell me I’m not too far gone.
Sometimes at my current weight I feel too far gone for this process. Of course I know it is up to me and me only but today I just need to hear other people did it. I don’t know how to lose weight without some form of depression starting it. In 2018 I had a bad regain after quitting smoking and getting help with my…

What is your longest streak of success?
Just like the title says. What is your longest streak of days completely stayed within your calorie allowance?

Oops I did it again.
Hey y’all. Short and sweet. I lost 60 lbs from 2016-18. Gained it back after I quit smoking, got my anxiety meds straight, and ate everything to my little heart’s desire. I’m miserable and kinda pissed at myself but that’ll only get me so far. I need fresh faces, perspective and friends for round 2. Im 31. Have an 11 year…

Trintellix, help!
Hey y’all. I was wondering if any of you have tried Trintellix for anxiety/depression and if you feel it impacted your weight loss? Thanks!!

Can’t believe this and that I’m here.
So I am dealing with a regain. I lost 66 lbs from 2016-2017ish. Stayed up and down all 2018 and today August 2019 I sit at only 12 pounds lost. Getting anxiety meds straight and quitting smoking 4 months ago have been KILLER. I can’t believe I’m here. I guess I can only take a moment of self pity, accept the season I’m in,…

Summer fat fun!
Today we went out on our boat. We jumped off to swim in 8 feet of water. We don’t have a ladder yet so to get back on the boat you had to pull yourself back on with the side about 1.5 feet over my head. The combo of being 5 feet, obese, and no ground to push off of.. you can imagine I looked like a freaking walrus. I…

Slimfast and heart palpitations?
I have had a Slimfast shake every morning for breakfast for the past two weeks. Roughly 5 days ago I noticed that my chest was feeling uncomfortable.. not really hurting, just weird. Almost like indigestion but no burning. And I have been burping a lot more lately. Just fluttering and weird! Bubbly even, I know that makes…

Far from done.. but happiness is ahead.
3 years ago today, the girl on the left went to breakfast with her cousin to meet her new baby. She went home and was smacked in the face with a confession from her husband that had been having an affair. She was sad. Broken. Insecure and blamed herself for being fat. Looked at her then 8 year old and just wanted to hide…

Huge NSV!
I have to share my NSV today. For years I have had serious anxiety about rides and coasters. I am not sure if it ever would happen but being turned away due to the size of my *kitten* publicly just makes my chest tight. Today I took my sister to a local arcade and I got on the mini coaster with her. No embarrassment. It…

LadyBoss program by Kaelin Tuell
Have any of you use the lady boss program? I just signed up yesterday for a free trial for cyber Monday. I work out at home and I am very much a beginner. I feel very lost and confused about what I actually need to do to make working out effective. I personally do not agree 100% with her eating plan but $27 a month for…

Harsh on resolutioners....
I’ve been on MFP for three years. So this doesn’t really pertain to me but I’ve noticed something. On my newsfeed with my friends and my FB, there are a lot of comments about the newbies coming in for January. Comments about how the forums and gyms will be overrun with “new year, new me” people and it’s annoying. Of course…

If you don’t mind the occasional F bomb.
Hi! I’m Danni and I have been on MFP for almost 3 years. I’ve had ups and downs.

Help with this label ?
I want to eat this salmon but I don’t want the sauce. The sauce packet doesn’t have individual info on the package. It’s just written like this. Any tricks to how to figure this without the sauce? TIA!

Lexapro and weight
After a long talk with my doctor, she wrote me a prescription for 5mg daily of Lexapro for some issues with anxiety and depression. I’ve been googling( bad idea) and I am nervous how this will impact my weight loss or make it more difficult. Any input would be appreciated.

Half way there..
Sometimes a change is hard to see and I feel the same as when I started. Today is not one of those days after a Facebook memory! I have a long way to go but I’m proud. Just keep swimming! 50 to goal!!

Help me with this label?
This label has me a little confused. 4 oz of meat and 3.5 of vegetables. Then it says prepared 210. That is of each I’m assuming? So 520 total?

Pocket scale for trips. Yes, I’m extra.
I want to buy a 600g max scale for my purse for logging while out and for vacation this week. But I’m always concerned if I’m pulled over that they won’t believe it’s for blueberries and sharp cheddar. Lol. Am I alone here? Lol
