Dating
Has anyone dated, online or otherwise while being overweight? If so what was your experience? What advice do you have, especially about online dating?
I am FOBulous (Fat, Old, Broken), but I want to be FABULOUS!
I have been overweight my whole life. During this pandemic, I have watched my weight increase to an all-time high to 387 lbs. I have excuse after excuse...my daughter married a Canadian and they have been in Canada for the last year and a half with my baby grandson. We have had to cancel her "wedding" not once, but twice.…
Progress Pics
Hello, all! A friend of mine encouraged me to take some progress pics. I didn't want to do it because I didn't think there would be much difference that you can see. But I did it anyway out of curiosity and when I put the pics side by side I almost started crying. I started at 330lbs with 200 pounds to lose. I have lost 42…
Progress Report
A previous group had a thread like this, and I thought I'd start one here, too. We've been doing updates in various threads, but this will give us a centralized place to keep track, and would be less likely to be lost if we all had individual threads! I know those participating in the challenge are putting their updates in…
Is this group not active any more?
Just asking as sad to see that there doesn't seem to be any activity on here now. This was my favourite group last year so I'm really hoping it isn't gone forever. Anyone out there and still wanting support to do this?
Today is the last day I'll be this fat
Hi All, I restarted 4 days ago and the above is my mantra that stops me whenever I start to think I'd like to eat something that'll blow my diet. So far so good. I'm not entirely sure what I weigh currently only that I'm heavier than I've ever been and desperate to get rid of it. The bathroom scales seem to have quietly…
Crawling back in shame - likely contains triggers
I have so many “reasons” (ie excuses) why things fell apart and I gained it all back. I guess they don’t even really matter. It all boils down to - if I loosen the reins a little bit, if I stop logging and weighing and all that crap, I end up spinning out of control for months. I smoked on and off for years. Like 2 packs a…
Greets!
New to MFP but I'm not just starting out. I reached my heaviest ever this past fall/winter and I was miserable all the time. I finally decided to get serious about my health and started eating better and tracking my calories on 1/1. Started at 386.6 lbs and now my recent record low is ~321.5 lbs, though it always…
OA
Curious to see if anyone here has ever tried overeaters anonymous? Hubby and I have been kicking the idea around and found a meeting close by, but are not really sure what to expect. Does anyone have an experience - good or bad - with a group like this? Thanks guys!
I just need to vent
Sorry friends, I just need to vent. It may seem I have been MIA for the past few months, but I've been here. Quietly observing, but here. My life has been filled with unexpected medical emergencies from close family members, from my mother-in-law passing away after an incredibly short and unfair bout with cancer - which…
