So hi everyone. I went over in calories tonight, first time in a long time I am usally under. Oh well tomorrows another day, at leaset it was not because I pigged out on junk food or something like that its just the way it worked out I was gone all day so I did not have my checkins that I usally have and just did not realize it till I got home and checked it all in. I am only 134 over so not too bad.

I just started here. Literally today. I'm lookin to lose 90 lbs. I got some major health issues happening which is gonna make it that much harder. Plus a two yr old that was premmie two heart surgeries as a result he's under weight. I am gonna need some major help here. With giving him the stuff to put weight on and me trying to lose.

Hi! Welcome! You are where you need to be. There is much love, help, encouragement, suggestions, respect, and honesty here. Thanks to Christy for this brilliant idea!

You can do it. We all can. There is strength in numbers. :flowerforyou:

I did good today..... Until... I ate a bowl of Sarah lee cheesecake icecream, reeses hardening chocolate and whip cream.... ack! That set me back, even though i didnt go over my calories I feel sick and like poo!!!!!!!!!!

Ice cream is my biggest weakness. Oh man! I can totally relate. (I was reading what you ate, and my mouth started watering.. dammit. :grumble: )

I have tried this to settle my ice cream fix... Vanilla or strawberry protein shake, some water, and 1 - 2 cups frozen whole strawberries. Mix in a blender. Has consistency of frozen yogurt, sorbet (sp?). Satisfies my fix.

By the time you read this, I'm sure you are back on track. Hey, you still didn't go over your calories, so that's a great thing!! :flowerforyou:

Hi !! Read your ticker on not smoking. That is awesome. Congrats. Reminded me of how much I have saved, especially my health, by quitting.

Welcome. :flowerforyou:

I think it would be great for all of us who have over 50 lbs to lose. I have a total of 189 to lose. I'm down 11 so far.

Hello to all my friends on this thread,

My Monday weigh in showed another 4 lb loss in the last week. I keep expecting the pace of loss to slow down but its moving along pretty well so far. I am happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep at your routines and you'll get results.

Keep up the good work, you all are such an inspiration to me, thank you so much for starting this thread Christy:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: , and thank's to all of you who are so open and honest with your proplems:flowerforyou: . There are times when I think some on you are reading my mail,or looking at my life and writing about it. Be Blessed and keep on keeping on. Connie

We all understand.

Ohmigosh I just walked 3 miles...I am so excited! The calories burned are miniscule because I can't go very fast, but 3 miles...that is my personal best for one day! I feel so great!

Thanks, but I need to update. I just did another 35 minutes, so that total for today is probably closer to 4 or 4.5 miles. I am ecstatic and feel so good. I don't know what I am going to snack on tonight since I have so many calories left and ZERO sodium (sodium will be the death of me I know it lol)...but I am so happy that I keep improving my workouts. Thanks for the support. This thread is a God-send. Maybe we can appeal to the MFP creator and ask for a separate message board for people who need to lose 50+ pounds...we definitely do face struggles that the typical 5-10 pound dieter won't experience, and it's great to talk to people who understand...

Thanks for starting this thread . . . i weigh 227 at last weigh in and I my goal is 145 . . . so I am with ya on that 50+ pounds to lose!! :flowerforyou:

ChristyMourning

I don't understand how I can do good all day but at night, over do it! I am praying that today will be different, that I can have the strength to start over. I feel like an addict. I need to do some serious thinking today because it's as simple as, do I want to live or do I want to die? But you see, its not really that easy. I feel like I'm self sabotaging myself. I feel so much like a failure and I want to have success in this life change. I suppose it is from thinking it's just a diet when infact I need to say it is a LIFE CHANGE. I'm going to work real hard today and hope I find my light again so that I may focus and return to getting healthy.

By the way, Yesterday was the first time I have ever been able to put on a pair of jeans in years! Maybe I can use that as incentive.

your attitude it awesome... "find your light again and focus" has to be that way.. its really the only way.. and the jeans are a great motivation!! congrats!!

and the hair looks awesome.. wish i had your attitude.. i envy that!! stay that way... its a great thing ! :flowerforyou:

SAME EXACT THOUGHTS. nights and weekends are my worst. i know i self sabotage.. and im trying sooo hard to stay in the moment and be AWARE.. ive been thru a lot of crap.. i'm seeing a therapist and TRYING to gain insight into my whacked out mind.. sigh.. and according to her, we are close to the core because the weight, for me, isnt about liking food.. its about stuffing emotions, hiding behind a wall of fat that i have built to protect myself.. and what im protecting, is the little girl that was abused who is afraid to come out and play.. to come out and enjoy life... man, it really is effed up (sorry, but it is).. i dont know me.. god that is pathetic to say... but i really dont.. ive just done my best to survive.. to be a chameleon and fit into different settings... adapt to whats around me, instead of knowing what i want.. sorry.. didnt mean to babble...

but yes its a Life Change.. but its also a LIFE SAVED.. i HAVE HAVE HAVE to do it this time... cause if i dont get it... i will continue to kill myself... slowly, but thats what i am doing with the food... killing myself..

we all have our reasons, baggage, life crap... but we also have each other.. and ive never leaned on anyone in my life.. never... but now i have to lean on you guys.. and i hope you will lean on me... WE HAVE to do this.. all of us.. i know that Annex1 knows exactly what im talking about.. im sure we can all help each other.. we have to keep on keepin on !!

Hey everyone. I am so sick this morning. My weight is the lowest its been which is nice but its cuz my body desided to flush itself out. :noway: . Anyways. 174.6. I am not recording it in the check-in part cuz I know its not true but it is still a nice number to see.

chubbymexicanswife

I love this idea! I lost 120 lbs before and then I got laid off, moved to a new state, started dating (cuz I was smokin!) and met my now husband. All of this made me just say "I'll worry about it tomorrow." Well, we're getting ready for a garage sale and I was going through my "skinny closet" when I realized I want to wear those close again and be that cute again...so here we go. I lost 120 in a year so I'm hoping I can do it again for myself, my husband and my son! Thanks for all the support! 5 lbs down...lots to go! Good luck everyone and if there is anyone in the Nebraska area let me know!

Having a low calorie shake for lunch along with some celery. It's crazy how something I never really liked can taste so good. I am referring to the celery.

Just had a moment and decided to say hello to all.

Back to work.

I admit it, I LOVE ice cream. I have such huge cravings for it. I usually don't keep it in the house because I will just sit there and eat it till it's gone.

I do like freezing yogurt and eating that instead (and is usually takes me awhile to eat because it is so hard)

I totally understand. We all have demons but mine are alot like yours. I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder, Depression and anxiety. I have had a traumatic childhood and I can relate. I am a compulsive over eater, I eat in the place of emotion and are quite shell shocked when it comes to displaying emotion. I use food as a suppressor. Anger was my best friend for along time and I feel like I have wasted ENOUGH of my life with it and with being over weight. There are so much things that I have missed out on in life.....
Thank you for your kind words. I hope I can get it all under control...

I have decided to change my food by having my biggest meal for lunch and eating less at night so that I burn more calories before dinner of what I ate.

Christy, most of the time you do so well, and you are helping so many of us, by starting this thread and being so honest and open with your life. We are addict's and food is our fix. It pushes down all the hurt and pain for a little while, and then we have the rebound of guilt. You are not a failure and you will have sucess - so you slipped and ate at night, big deal today you're trying again and that takes real strength. Sometimes I think the problem with night eating is boredom, we're busy in the daytime and then at night all the stress and thoughts have a chance to come into our minds and then we eat. One thing I try is to stay out of the living room with the t.v. blasting food ideas - I have enough food ideas of my own. Take care of yourself, congrats on the jeans, and be Blessed. Connie

I love this quote you have posted. I need to win my battle each day and with that it wins the war.
Tonight I had some fresh peeled cucumbers and a nice glass of Merlot wine. I feel better.
