I just love that thing. Yeah I know its a day to day thing. Still it will be beautiful when I see the predictor go under 300 lbs. Today it predicted 310 lbs. So I have my hopes up.

BTW. Did anyone ever think they would weigh 300 lbs. when they were a kids. I sure didn't.

    I actually almost hit 400 lbs at one time. I never imagined it. Yet there it was. I've been working out, walking, and hiking. Sometimes I think I can't be this heavy and like you I look in the mirror and oh yeah I'm up there.

    I actually have the OPPOSITE problem! I recently got close to 400lbs at 371 which is the highest I've ever weighed and when I look in the mirror I'm like WHAT?? How can I possibly weigh almost 400lbs? I HATE IT...can you be in visual denial????? Is there a such thing? It's so weird, I wish I could see myself as others see me....or maybe not!! Maybe then I'd STARVE myself!!! LOL.

    Either way though this weight is just NOT acceptable...I'm 5'10 and my BMI is OFF THE CHARTS...LITERALLY!

    Oh yeah, and I too love the 5 week predictor!!! VERY motivating!

    Keep up the good work!! You are doing great!

    I love the 5 week predictor! It really motivates me. It makes me think "WOW!". I think quite often it's hard to lose the weight so slowly, but when you think about it in the sense that in five weeks you will have lost such a huge total.. it's fantastic. Definitely spurring me on at the moment :)

    I never thought I would weigh this much. I've been through many depressing stages in my life where I have just been in total disbelief.. but feel positive that I am doing something about it now.

    I have a love/hate relationship with it. I find myself checking what it would be if I didn't eat lunch or something, and I'm tempted to skip meals just to see that 5-week number go down. When I eat normally, it's just not going down fast enough and I freak out sometimes.

    Oh well...hey, I told my dr I needed Xanax! :laugh:

    Hi,

    I love that predicter too :-)
    I actually don't manage to stay under my calorie goal very often. So each night, when I hit on "complete", I check if the predicter says a lower number than my actual weight, and as long as the number is lower, I am ok. Once that predicter says more, I really need to do something, knowing I had a VERY bad day.

    yeah there can be visual denial. and it is sort of the same thing I have. like in my head i don't see myself as 400, but once i look in the mirror I see it.

    and like you my bmi is off the charts as well. lol ...can't wait till i'm at least near the chart that'd be nice lol

    The 5 week predictor gives me hope for the future which is something good to have when I'm so big.
