Beautiful clothes for you....
I have some GREAT women's clothing that are SIZE16 or X-LARGE that I can no longer wear. They are barely used and I'd like someone to get to enjoy them. I'm a size 12 (or 10) and a large or medium top now, and thought someone else could use my larger sizes on the way down. Many are from Christopher and Banks, all are…

It worked for me before.
Hi! I'm 47, married and have 2 boys, 10 1/2 & 14. I lost 42 pounds by using MFP about 9 years ago and kept it off for several years. It was a wonderful time and really changed my life! I'd always been overweight, but was just trying to take off some excess pregnancy weight and get back to my normal, slightly overweight…

Sugar Addict needs support
So, I have dieted successfully before, but over the years the weight has crept back... Especially since a major injury and surgery on my foot. This time I am trying to be healthier in regard to my sugar intake as I lose weight. I'm also trying to eat low to moderate carbs each day. I am having MAJOR sugar withdrawal. I…

Weighing In...
I was recently asked to speak at a Ladies Retreat that the local congregation of the Lord's church was hosting. I thought it was a GREAT topic. This year's topic was: 'THE BIGGEST WINNERS'. We had pink shirts patterned after the show and everything. Several people spoke. The topic I was asked to speak on was, "Weighing…

One Year Ago Today
One year ago today, I was just an unhappy gal. I felt frustrated and without hope. I was 5'4 and 189 pounds. I was wearing size 16 and XL (or more). One year ago today I couldn't imagine being where I am now. I didn't dare even dream it. I HATED looking in the mirror. I felt ugly & unattractive. I remember thinking...if…

curious about coffee
I'm just wondering if anyone knows, how much is too much coffee? I LOVE my coffee and drink 2-3 cups a day. My blood pressure and heart rate are great (now...after losing and exercising regularly!). I don't drink soda very often and I drink diet soda when I do. I always drink my water and more. I just wondered what you…

I'm confused.
I noticed that when I set the setting to lose 1 pound a week, 1 1/2 pounds a week, or 2 pounds a week, it still won't ALLOW me to lose more than 1.4 pounds a week because it already has me at 1200 a day. Does this mean I cannot lose any faster? I thought it was healthy to lose up to 2 pounds a week. Could this be a reason…

I can't believe it!!
I am actually sitting down typing this wearing a pair of size 10 jeans that I couldn't even begin to button on Thanksgiving. They are too tight to wear out, but they are NOT a brand that runs big and they do NOT have extra stretch. My husband accidently bought the wrong size while out of town, working. He wanted to take…

Question about the steriods my doctor prescribed.
I am sick and also have asthma. My doctor prescribed steriods along with an anti-biotic. I take 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 a day. I am taking them today, but I am SCARED. I've heard horror stories about people gaining weight on steriods, but I want and need to get better. Do the steriods themselves make people gain weight,…

Is there such thing as too much water?
I just wondered if anyone knows if it's bad to drink TOO much water. I drink 12-17 eight ounce glasses a day. I just got in the habit of drinking it and I really like it. I feel good and everything. I'm just thirsty, especially when I exercise. It's so cold and refreshing. I'd be interested in any feedback. I know many…
