I Chunkybun (although I want to dub you something else. Sexybun???) Tonight I walk zeee dawg!:drinker:

You are sweet! I need to keep the "chunkybun" (short for chunkybunny) to remind me why I'm here.

I had a friend FatGuy350... I kept after him to change his name because he was working so hard on becoming something better. And I hated calling him by his screen name.

He has now lost a bunch of weight... and changed his name.

I encourage you to motivate yourself by anticipating where you are going.. and not by beating yourself up for where you have been.

Hugs!!

exactly how I feel. Had a friend named fatazzery or something of this sort when I started. It made me all the sads

because she had these gorgeous eyes. She changed her name to reflect her beautiful eyes.

That was a loooooooong time ago

By the way, are we there yet????:grumble: :laugh:

We're never there. We're always here.

Haha.... it's not really a bad thing. My husband came up with the name as a 'cute' way to motivate me. The first time, it was "say what???" but over time, I kind of grew to love it.

We'll be on a hike or something, and he'll be way ahead of me calling, "come on Chunkybunny let's go!"

Before anyone jumps on this and starts berating my husband, this is the way we interact, and it works for us. I call him "Stinkbutt", for the record.

After being overweight for many many years, I still am very judgmental of myself when I look in the mirror. The mirror may lie but a picture never does. :bigsmile:

This is a comparison of today from one year ago.

:laugh: wrong thread, we would laugh with you here not go all crazypants! LOL.... I am sure Stinkbutt has a few other names for you that cant be used as your screen name

So glad you are interacting on this page. I find the inspiration to do so many things throughout the day thinking of these Fitspos!!

:flowerforyou: Have a great day Bunny!!

This is one of my WHYs...

I want that to be a good thing.

I like this! I always want to be an inspiration to my kids.

How do you make these? I think I have one.

Seth and I, 3 1/2 yrs ago...me, super morbidly obese; him, living with failure to thrive and cerebral palsy. The before pic was the day he had surgery to place his feeding tube.

Today we are both much closer to healthy weights and this little man is my inspiration as we live out our reclaimed lives.

I do most of mine on my phone... I use photo grid to make collages or position a single pic on the right background. It had a text feature that works nicely, but for that, I like using another free app called Phonto.

I then upload them to photobucket and resize to 450 wide by whatever tall.

If you need help, feel free to PM me.

Look forward to seeing yours!

Tears. I was a nervous wreck before my 2-year-olds ear tubes. I can't imagine what you were going through before the surgery. You both look amazing. What a miracle you've accomplished, mama!

I am a newly-started journey in progress, but I love this thread and wanted to share. My Fitspiration needs a bit of explaining.

I started getting extremely overweight 2 years ago. I blamed it on working at home and sitting on my bum all day. At the same time, I was getting sicker, and sicker. So I ate unhealthy everything when the doctor said there was nothing wrong but my obesity, sank into a slow depression, got bigger and sicker. I couldn't go anywhere or do anything, and I felt like the world's worst mother of teenagers.

Flash forward to Sept. 2013 and I finally hit my rock bottom. I was wearing a size 2XL in maternity tops to hide my pregnant looking stomach and pants so tight, even if they were a size 24, that I was leaving permanent marks in my skin. I cried, I ranted, and I demanded a new doctor. Had a diagnosis within 2 days- a bad case of gallstones.

Had my surgery in November 2013 and ended up being that 1/100 person that gets a bile leak. I was seriously starting to regret my decision to have surgery.

But, I had an awesome surgeon who told me that the stomach would go down, and if I started eating healthy and exercising, I could lose the weight now.

Flash forward to Feb. 2013. I am now in a size L top and a size 12/14 (I'm like that darn in-between size) pants. I barely recognize my stomach now and I have cheekbones again. I still have a long way to go, but if I can do this, anyone can. I can walk, I can bend, and I can even almost do kickboxing.
