The reason was that I kept feeling like I had done nothing in my life, and that all of my current efforts to change were proving to be fruitless. So I went home and…

What Does 200 Lb 5'6" look like?
Does anybody remember Weight Loss Clinic? It was good, provided you didn't mind spending $15/lb on it. I lost 65 pounds on that, decades ago. They did counselling and food journals and promoted exercise and the biggest problem with it was lack of support at maintenance weight. So I lost 65 lb. and wound up at 145 lb. I got…

My 1 year mark and my progression
Well, I started out here one year ago today. Total weight loss as of today is 40 pounds. I actually lost a little over 50, but I've recently gained back a few pounds.

The little things that pi$$ me off :-P
#1) I hate the look I get when I order something healthy and then when I decline the bread or side item it comes with, they look at me like I'm crazy and say "well...it comes with the meal, it's not extra", and when I assure them that I am aware of this, they continue to just stare at me as if they are waiting for me to…

I weighed in at 189.5 this morning and even though that is barely in the 180s, it felt REALLY good to see that on the scale. I mean come on, I started this at 202 and was just glad to get out of the 200s. Now I am back down. My real…

2 years for me this month on MFP

I've gained a few pounds since then and lost a few too- but am pretty much the same weight as when I started (which is down 53 pounds from my highest weight in 2006) Does that mean I'm doing well or doing poorly?? Sometimes I want to beat myself…
