Crying Jags
I’ve never had this happen before when losing weight, but this time around, I can't stop crying spontaneously throughout the day. When I go a few days or more without losing, I stop crying. I’ve joked that my weight was holding in emotions and when it goes away, those emotions get released. This new problem is frustrating!…

78 lbs gone! With pics.
I stepped on the scale Thursday and saw something I had given up on ever seeing again. I’m sorry, Three. You and I have been together a long time. Too long. You have had your time in the limelight, but now it’s time to let your slimmer sister, Two, have her time. She won’t be around as long as you before the fabulous One…

Can you see your belly button now?
Mine is hiding. I don't mean lurking in the doorway where you can get a glimpse at the right angle but hiding under a canopy never seeing the light of day. :frown: The difference between the "canopy" and my belly button started at 3" and it has decreased to 2.5" after losing 70+ lbs. I'm just wondering if anyone started…

NSV - Walking
I just walked a tad over a mile! This might not seem a lot for most people, but it's a small miracle for me! My back didn't hurt and I was able to keep up a decent pace of 2.3 mph while pulling my oxygen tank along. Just six months ago, I couldn't walk more than ten minutes without my back killing me and it was at a…

NSV - I Conquered It! with pics!
I’ve always loved to hike. Even at my heaviest, I would walk in the foothills even if just for a few minutes. After I was put on oxygen in March, I knew I would need to wait to walk in the foothills again. I’m on the larger tanks that you pull in a cart, not the best thing for dirt paths and mountainous trails. I was…

Need Side Dish Ideas!
I'm going to try this Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese tonight. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/04/chicken-rollatini-with-prosciutto-and.html I'm just going to replace the prosciutto with ham. Any suggestions for side dishes? The family is getting tired of the same old vegetables.

NSV - HUGS! (pic)
My husband and I have both been losing weight. Between us we have lost 133 lbs. This makes hugging much nicer. Not only can my arms go all the way around him I can now clasp my fingers together!

Smaller Face Pics = Increased Motivation!
It’s hard to stay motivated sometimes. I had a pretty lousy weight loss for September and even though October is picking up, I look in the mirror and feel like nothing is changing. I’ve been interviewed on KNAT-TV three times in the last year. Today, I received a DVD for the last two interviews (one in June and the last…

Bad causes NSV with happy ending
The Bad: I found a lump in my breast this week. I'm the same age my mother was when she had breast cancer. :sad: The NSV: Odd sensation. Something is missing. What is it? Oh, I'm not craving comfort food. Rechecking my brain, emotions and various body parts. Nope, no cravings and now that I have thought about it still…

Do you remember your first? MFP friend that is!
Who was your first? Do you remember why you followed them? For me it was my husband and daughter so I'm not going to count them for this. :smile: My first official MFP friend was TheFranLover. I followed him because of a heartfelt post about his sister and his concern for her. :flowerforyou: So, who was your first?

Funny NSV
I've lost 40lbs, 4" from my hips, 3" from my waist but what does my husband notice last night? My forearms! :laugh: While sitting across the table from my husband he reached over and while touching my arm told how much smaller it looks! :laugh: I've doing belly dancing and it's great for the waist but I hadn't thought of…

My *kitten* is getting smaller! (pic)
I was interviewed today and was looking at the photo and compared it to one that was taken on the same set in Nov. I know now where all the weight is coming from. My *kitten* is shrinking!!! I'm really not sure what my weight was. I'm guessing 380-390 even though I'm using 377 as my highest weight. Larger photo…

2 NSV and a bonus SV
NSV1 I've always had really weak arms even when I was thin and in decent shape. This time I said forget the 2 lb hand weights and just move the arms. Next day I could feel some soreness but I could still use them. With the hand weights the next day would stop me cold. Been doing this for about 2 weeks and feeling the…

Plateau Question
The scale doesn't budge, the inches don't move and the clothing still fits the same. How long before you call it a plateau? 2 weeks, a month, 2 months, or ??? I know all the techniques for breaking one I'm just curious as to when you call it a plateau. And does it matter what stage you are at in the weight loss? 100+lbs to…

Chocolate NSV
I DID IT! I was at a friends house this morning and she usually has a basket of lifesavers. Today it had milky ways and 3 musketeers. Oh Noes! I passed but our other friend who skipped breakfast grabbed a few. Oh Noes! Last week I had to leave my husband to finish checking us out of the store because the chocolate candy…

Turkey Burger Sides Ideas Needed
Since we are watching carbs I'm at a lost for sides! I cut out fries/potatoes and the bun. We usually have crisp green beans with it. Looking for additional ideas. I'm not against carbs but looking for lower and better options. What do you have with your burger?

30 lbs gone! With pics
I joined MFP May 1. In March my husband was diagnosed with diabetes and instead of going on medication he wanted to make dietary changes and lose weight. Also, in March I was hospitalized with pneumonia and have been on oxygen full time. We both needed to make some serious changes. When I joined I had already lost 11lbs.…

Clothing NSV
I tried on a pair of shorts 2 weeks ago and while they had been snug I thought would be ok. Bent over and the snap popped open! Back in the closet they went. :grumble: Forgot to throw my bigger ones in the wash last night so I thought what the heck I will just suffer with a popping snap. Got them out and they are looser.…

2 NSV
My first NSV and I have two! 1) I started MFP May 1st and already have been able to cut my acid reflux medicine in half! Just eating better and not so close to bedtime has made a big difference. 2) My feet had been hurting so bad it was hard to walk around the house. I thought I needed new shoes but after losing just 11lbs…
