I have lost an Average Human Leg! What have you lost?
This list is awesome. We were talking about it a little earlier. I looked online and found the list to share. I have seen this list before, but thought it was worth repeating... I'm hoping to lose a Gold Brick more, before I'm done! 1 pound = a Guinea Pig 1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts 2 pounds = a rack of…

One Year Today!
One year ago today, I decided to take back my life. I was obese, unhealthy and miserable. I never left my house. In fact I had not ventured outside in 5 years. I was basically just waiting to die. I didn't think it would be much longer until I did. I was sad, afraid and ashamed. I changed the way I ate, the way I moved and…

Uneven Weight Loss?
I have lost around 90 pounds since March. I am happy with my results and very happy that I am not ending up with the sagging skin that I hear so much about. But, I do notice something else that bothers me a bit. When I look at my body, I see that my right leg is noticeably thinner than my left leg. When I was thin, they…

Are Manners a Thing of the Past?
I was raised to respect other people's property and if I saw something I wanted that belonged to someone else, I was not allowed to just go take it. Am I wrong? I ask because I am having some weird feelings about my neighbors. I have two huge pear trees in my yard. As long as I have lived here, 5 years, people would come…

Fitbit Users and Giving
I'm not sure how many MGP users, who use a Fitbit are aware of this, so I'd like to let everyone know. I do this and I think it's a great way to help others, just by doing what you were doing anyway!

Who is your biggest supporter? How did you meet?

My Story and Partial Progress with Pictures
I've never posted photos of my fat for everyone to see before. And I am quite nervous, but here goes. If it helps just one person to see they can do it too, then I'll be happy. I believe that you're never too old or too fat to change. A little history... I just turned 55 a little over a week ago. I have been thin most of…

Sharing NSV with Family!
I am smiling right now! The reason? My 19 year old son just walked in my office. He says "Hey mom! So, since you started losing weight and changing things around here, I've lost 12 pounds!" I said "Really?", he said that the first day I started(In February) and bought my new digital scales, he had weighed at 236 and…

I like to eat, eat, eat Apples....
Most of my friends know me well enough to know I have an addiction to apples and peanut butter. I eat it at least once a day for my snack. I have been on a search, a quest of sorts, to find the PERFECT tasting apple. I have been trying different varieties and here is what I have found. I like slightly sweet but, not too…

What will your reward be?
I know that, in the end, the best reward will be having lost the weight and gaining health and confidence back. But, what, if any, rewards are you looking forward to, after the weight has come off? For me...My reward will be a new half sleeve tattoo. I have not found or worked up a design I want yet. I just really have…

Concerned About Calories, Advice Needed Please.
I'm not really sure how I can eat 1200 calories a day. I am struggling to even get close. I have always been a 'meal skipper', normally eating one meal a day, even when I was very thin. Since 2/24/12, I have been using Body by Vi shakes for meal replacements and eating a sensible dinner, along with a couple snacks. I lost…

What Do You See?
One of the first things I noticed when I went from Fit to Fat, was my knuckles getting smaller and smaller, until they basically disappeared. Now that I've started the trip back, from Fat to Fit, they are one of the first things I see returning. I just noticed knuckles when I woke up. Is is odd to be so excited about…
