edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I am 27, and I sadly weigh 290 ish. I fluctuate but I have not yet been over 300 and that is my biggest fear. I have been married for almost 2 years. I want that fantasy of that guy being able to wrap his arms around me to protect me. Unfortunately, my husband practically has to stretch his arms all the way out to reach around me. I am trying to find the balance of eating enough calories which seems to be my biggest problem so far. So far this is the longest I have kept any dedication to one diet. So that is a start. New goal-Cut out sodas.

    I started about 2.5 months ago @ 305! I feel your pain! In just that short time I've lost just over 43 lbs. YOU can do it! YOU WILL DO IT! Soda was a huge thing for me, I drank coke everyday. Since Oct. 26, I have not had a single regular coke. I am drinking a limited number of diet sodas and usually water, green tea, crystal light, etc.

    Good luck to you!!!

    Hang in there! We all understand the desire of being thinner for whatever our reason is! Lean on us and there will be days, we need to lean on you! Friend me if you would like more friends and support! Good luck on the Soda. You will get some head aches at first but try diet or tea for the caffeine!

    Well, you are in the right place. This site is amazing. The people on here, really make you want to do it. You see all the progress they are making and things they are doing and it inspires you to do just the same! My advise would be to keep logging in, keep the screen up all day long and just hit refresh every once in awhile to see what people are saying. If you see what you are actually eating it puts things into perspective. You really start to become aware of what is good and what is not. I wish you luck, and you can add me as a friend if you would like.

    Good luck Ladies. The soda thing is tuff to break I was drinking about a 2 liter a day (not good) . Now I only drink one every now and then. Be carefully just drinking diet just because there are 0 calories doesn't mean it's good for you, diet pop has alot of artificial sweetners in it which are terrible for you and can be just as bad. Its very tuff to stop, the headachs can be very bad for about a week. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
