    I scaled down to 1400 because I figured like everyone I was going to under-estimate my calorie intake by at least 200. I think with a scale I'll try for exactly 1700. I have to lose at least 20 more lbs by April, doctor's orders. If I can do that I'll be satisfied.

    dear Bloated fatty Consider changing your user name-and the way you think about yourself. How about Greek God 2B or tallnslim or shrinkingman?

    Self talk is important so set yourself up for success! 20 lbs gone already-you've got this!

    I picked this user name A) because I thought it was funny and B) I want to lose enough weight so that it becomes ironic rather than insulting.

    Honestly, it's a bit offensive.

    That's fine if a bit opinionated to think that but years ago on the BBC there was a cooking show called "Two Fat Ladies" - was that offensive too? I didn't think so, because they were both in on the joke.
