Lost 85 pounds, but weight loss has STOPPED?
Started in April 2013, and from then until April 2014, lost my 85 pounds. In April of 2014, I lost an extremely close and dear relative, and in the almost 6 months since, I've only lost about 8 pounds, with a lot of bouncing up and down, 2 pounds up, 4 pounds down, etc. I think there may be some connection between the…

Just passed below "Morbidly Obese" into "Overweight"
Great feeling. I will be applying for a re-evaluation of my present Long Term Care premium, and hopefully, paying less money. Just goes to show that for me, it's easier to lose 1 pound 100times than to lose 100 pounds all at once! OOOPS- Forgot "Success" part 2. I just bought TWO new swimsuits, and for the first time id 25…

Do you hold the record for the world's longest plateau?
Please share.

Nuts, I missed posting that I'd lost an elephant penis
.....and an Irish Setter doesn't seem like nearly as much fun!

Dumbstupid question about MFP app/website
Hi folks- I'm not "new" but I need newish help. I'm not crazy about the latest upgrade, and one reason is that I can't figure out how to edit my entries after I record them. When I started, I could enter my planned menu for the day, then edit if I made any changes. Another thing I don't like now is not having access to the…

I LIED, AND I'M PROUD TO ADMIT IT!
I have had a lousy month, for one reason and another. It started with some careless recording on my daily meal lists, and then, on Thanksgiving and the Saturday and Sunday after, I went into full blown crave/binges. With eating lots of refined stuff, sugar, and grain foods, I felt rotten. And my disposition went from my…

Life is GRAND in One-derland!
At 265, I absolutely believed that I'd NEVER weigh below 200 pounds again, but happily, I WAS WRONG! 198 this morning, and still going strong!

Experiences with mammograms after 50+ pound weight loss?
Freaking out- had a mammogram yesterday and got a call that I needed followup mammography and ultrasound evaluation. Turns out the problem was probably because of weight loss/ previous surgery for a benign growth. I'm posting this to recommend that if this happens to you, call the physician that wrote your original…

Happy NSV
i did almost all of a 5K walk for lung cancer this morning. Six months ago I wouldn't have had the energy to fill out the application form. Life is good!

Shocked! How on earth did this happen?
Paid a visit to my GYN today for my annual physical. I knew he'd be pleased with my weight loss but I had no idea it would be quite as pleased as he turned out to be! The last time I'd been to the office had really been 15 months ago, and on that date, I'd weighed not the 245 I'd recorded as my starting weight with MFP,…

"Watching What I Eat......."
I'm getting SO TIRED of seeing people say this. I've always watched what I eat, it prevents me from putting string beans into my ear! I've noticed that most people say this when they don't measure and record, because people who DO measure and record say that's what they do. I'm thinking " watching what I eat" means a half…

Fasting for surgical procedure- your thoughts?
I will be undergoing a surgical procedure as an outpatient tomorrow, and have been told that there is a significant risk of nausea/vomiting immediately after awaking from the general anesthetic. Because of this, I wish to reduce my intake today, but eat something nourishing. I'm thinking a few scrambled egg whites, a green…

Two icky NVS's, and one familiar one.
Icky first- I brush my teeth in a tiny sink that has a high, arched faucet. And since we've had the faucet I've been yelled at by other members of the household for spitting on it. Of course I wasn't doing such a nasty thing deliberately, but because of my puffy, pillowy stomach, I couldn't get near enough to the basin to…

CRAVINGS- What I believe
I have been losing and gaining weight for 50 years. That statement alone is pretty depressing in that in all that time there are only a few periods when I've been able to maintain a healthy weight. Recently I've begun losing weight with the focus of lowering my blood pressure and insulin resistance. Immediately after…

Focused on HEALTH, but WOW. (LONG)
I have been here since the middle of March. I'm 68, but I've managed to stay fairly healthy until a year or so ago, when my blood sugars started entering the low 100's, and blood pressure began creeping into the 130/80 range. I have an excellent internist (weighs probably 140 # soaking wet, and one day not long ago he…
