Plus size-Super size weightloss support

Hi everyone,

I've been absent from this forum for a bit. Business travel keeps me busy and also presents me with a little bit of a challenge to stay on my plan. I have a long history of eating poorly on the road and..... old habits are hard to overcome.

I am keeping at it and hope you all can find some strength when you need it. I know that I always the same for myself.

Hi all! :flowerforyou: You are reading the words of a truly super sized man! I need to loose 60 lbs, and have been here for about 3 weeks so far. I lost 3 lbs into the second week, but this week only lost 1/4 lb? Anyways, my pants are decidedly feeling looser, wooo hooo! :happy:
But yeah, us Big Dawgs, have a bit of a different journey than some of the wonderful people that don't have quite so much girth (and such) around the name-your-least=favorite-body-part. :drinker:

Oh, on a side note, from a newbie here, one thing I do to keep me motivated is to keep my Food Diary up on my screen ALL day long! I'm a geek, and do quite a bit of business via the web, so each and every time I jiggle the mouse, I see how many calories I have burned, and how many I need to consume. It REALLY REALLY helps me to plan my day with regards to both exercise, and eating.

Hey Christy!

Sounds great! I've been having a problem the past few days with late night binging. It's like I'll be all ready for bed and just want a taste of something and lose control and undo my whole day's progress!

Hello everyone,
It is thursday and I am checking in. I am not changing my ticker till next Thursday, That is when I weigh in with my DR. but if I am correct I have lost 3 puonds this week but I am not holding my breath on that one I have been eating out alot. I am very happy I met a great guy and we have been dating BUT he takes me out to these great restraunts and well I want to eat the good stuff. WEll I have told him that I can't continue to eat bad like this so he has invited me to his house for dinner and he would cook that is awesome. I am ready to have a man cook for me Antway he said he would cook something healthy so I would not feel so bad.

Good LUck to every one.

computer problems have kept me off the site for about a week. I really mised it. I think I did okay at first, but the last couple of days have been less than committed. Lots of stress at home and work to go along with no computer. Let's just say that I hope I didn't gain much.

BrandNewLaura

Still no word from Christy? Where has our fearless leader gone? Christy, come back we need your energy and encouraging words!

I just found this site a couple weeks ago so my starting weight on here was 224. so i am using the 224 for starting weight on here. wishing everyone great success!!:drinker: <lots and lots of water!!! :flowerforyou:

One short note before my am walk.....

I can relate to losing my self-control over a plate of chicken wings! One key point is to remember those trigger-foods that make us weak, neglect our selves and our hard earned efforts! Just think... all week you have exercised enough to burn a pound --- only to eat it up within 15 minutes - over wings!

We must remember and reward ourselves with the knowledge that our hard work is deserving of praise and is key to our self-worth and healthy well-being! yeah those wings are good... the little demon sitting on your shoulder is nasty and pushy enough to make you forget about all that hard work! Over wings!

So many trigger foods ... know them and avoid them... if you must have one... think for a minute... can you only have one?? I know I can't. I am weak over food, i have a love relationship with food and yep I am a food addict! I deal with this by simply avoiding it all together.... it is easier that way.

Now that I have weighed my options and made a sound resolve to achieve my goals, I have banned trigger foods from my kitchen! ( No junk in my trunk, no sir...ee) When I do groceries, I limit myself to the perimeter of the store... stores are set up so you can obtain foods from all major food groups, by just sticking around the store - no aisle shopping (therefore nothing packaged)... If shopping on a budget, avoiding the trigger aisle can save you a bunch! Plus you pass on the teasing...

Mind over matter! Jo

Hope this helps!

Joselem

Wise words Joselem!

I've also started to pay close attention to situations that lead to bad food choices. I do a lot of driving in my business and have eaten enough food behind the wheel to feed a small country. These days I eat nothing in the car except a occasional protein shake (not the same as "eating").

I also had a bad habit of arriving home really hungry and finding something to eat within the first minute of two. That almost always meant that the pantry or some left over was the choice. None of you will be surprised to hear that the choices almost always ended up as high calorie, high fat, junk food.

Then.... on to dinner for more of the wrong stuff.

No matter how hungry I might be when I get home I don't allow myself to do anything other than ignore it for a while. Even if its only 15 minutes to be sure that an old habit doesn't make the choice a bad one.

I hope this helps someone. It has really helped me.

Cheers,
Tim R.

Hi all,
I have been away from this site for a long, long time. I have just started back to watching my weight etc. for health reasons and because I finally want to do this. Since last week I am proud to report that I have lost 3 pounds and I too have about 75 to lose. I have to say that I was quite upset with raincloud's comment that she suffers with major depressive disorder and has resigned herself to the fact that she will never be happy. I too have suffered with this terrible debilitating disorder for the past 6+ years, and I just want to say that you can beat it! I did! I tried everything there was to try and finally came up with a plan that worked for me. The depression was one of the major reasons contributing to my weight gain over the years and now that I'm over it, the weight is starting to come off. So to raincloud, keep your chin up. You too can be happy again!

I have not been on for about 2 weeks. I got on the scale this morning( I found my husband's hiding spot). I am down another 2 pounds. I have not been logging my food for 2 weeks and not exercising. I had some weird health thing going on but feel much better so I am back on track.

Joselem

wow! You are doing great! Keep up the great work... EVERYONE!

CHEERIO! JO

I have about... well if truth be told, to get to my right weight I need to loose 115 -125lbs!! (seems unobtainable) I just started on this website a few minutes ago and it appears to be very good. You can count me in on this looooong hopefully not to daunting journey.
If any of you can help me navigate through this I would really appreciate it cause I don't know what I am doing! :bigsmile:

Hi all how have you all been doing? I had a rough spot here the last couple of weeks, but now I'm going strong again, can't wait til thursday to post!

Take CARE!!! SARA

I truly think that the Day at a Time option is the ONLY way I will ever achieve my goal! Even when I get done logging food and exercise for the day, and the banner says I'll weigh 240 lbs in 5 weeks, it just seems impossible. So I'm just gonna worry about this day, and this meal, and this snack, and this exercise. Otherwise I'll end up self sabotaging, yet again.
