I lost 201 lbs and then my mom passed away and I gained almost a hundred back. I lost a considerable amount of that and then my dad passed and I regained a lot again. I started losing again and now my last remaining Grandparent passed away a few weeks ago. I don't want to regain yet again and lose all the progress I've…

SW: 400 lbs CW: 259 lbs End Goal: 150 lbs I worked my way down to 200 lbs from 400 lbs several years ago. Then my Mom passed away unexpectedly and being a stress eater I regained almost 70 lbs. I made it back down to 195-ish lbs a year ago. I've been slowly regaining throughout last year back up to 269 lbs. My father just…

Above average height in men... But the reason behind it isn't shallow to me. All of the men on both sides of my family range from 5'11 to 6'4. I'm so used to being around tall men that I feel safer both physically and emotionally around them. It probably sounds stupid to others.

Personality - Soft heart and protective. <3 Physically - Height... The taller the better.

Great to know. I've never been to a gym before. I've done my workouts at home or walked in the past. Planet Fitness is really the only one nearby. It's brand new at the mall. My neighbor recommended it.

I hadn't considered low weight and just more reps. Maybe that would work. I automatically jumped to the thought of high weights. Thanks! :)

Unfortunately I think free weights and barbells might be out of the question, at least for my arms. Between fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel I don't want to kill my wrists. :( Thank you for the tip on the book & program. I'll definitely look into those. Thank you so much for your encouragement! :)

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Any suggestions on the machines that would be best to accomplish wgat I need?

Watching The Grinch while freezing my toes off. I can't get them warm.

He made a pass at my brother. :neutral:

7' is quite tall. That would be awesome. :smile: Why was hanging with Shawn Bradley weird? Because of his height or his personality? You could buy those foam hand things. Then they'd be longer. :wink:

No man that I've seen is that tall. 6' or taller is great. 6'6" like The Hound would be awesome. I guess I've always had a fondness for tall men because in my head his height would make up for my wideness. (I've never told anyone that before.) But that's not the only reason. I love to lay my head against a man's chest. I…

Height. The taller he is the harder I fall.

So here's my list: Spitting Smoking/vaping Drugs (Taking or selling) Preferably no alcohol or minimal Child/Animal abuser Emotional/Physical Abuser Anger issues Won't let my 2 tiny chihuahuas sleep in the bed Won't accept that they are my babies Swears like a sailor Politically motivated or just can't stop whining and…

I love this!! I've lost a 2 month old horse and a human brain. LOL

I would love a new friend. I started out at 400lbs and lost 200lbs. Two weeks after I hit 199lbs my Mom suddenly passed away. It hit me really hard. I spent the last two years gaining back 135lbs. (Food is my stress relief.) This summer I finally got back on track and have re-lost 34lbs so far, but I'm having a harder time…

You're not the only person here who feels the "weigh your food" response is a pat answer. I lost 200 lbs without ever weighing a thing I ate. You did not mention (that I saw, I didn't read all the responses) if you've seen your Dr. It could be a new thyroid issue that has just surfaced, early menopause, etc etc. If you're…

I'm feeling seriously discouraged that while I'm now a size 22/20 jeans more than a couple friends who are the same height and weight or bigger are 3 sizes smaller. :(

It takes a LONG time for your mind to catch up with your mirror.

A few weeks ago I bought a top from a 'normal' size shop online (which usually means get it a couple sizes bigger so it will actually fit right.) When it arrived I was swimming in the 3X. It was actually falling off me. I should have exchanged it but didn't know what size to guess at so I just returned it. Last week I…

I've lost 180 lbs so far with 60 more to go... I seem to be the opposite. At 400 lbs I started out at an A cup and didn't even come close to filling those. (Sports bras were my best friends.) Now at 225 I just had to up it to a C cup because I was overflowing a B cup. Not quite sure where I'll end up. However, it is nice…

Walking and cycling.

Wonderful job!! You look beautiful!!

I started topped out at 400 lbs. (The first photo isn't even me at my highest weight. ) The second photo is at 219 lbs. I still have 60 lbs to go. Possibly more.

I still have 60 lbs to go.

Eating whatever I want and not caring about the consequences. I dearly miss pizza and wings and candy. :(

People who spit! Whenever I see/hear someone spit it makes me want to vomit. I'm so surprised I didn't see anyone else list that. I hate tailgaters with a passion. I used to take it in stride until I was stalked by a town cop who would tailgate me all the way home every night after working the late shift. I had to actually…

Awww You're so mean! LOL I'm usually one of those people. I feel bad because no one else will let them out of a parking lot or make a turn.
