  • I made myself one of those jars where you move a marble for every pound you lose. I went a little crazy with it. I move a small pebble for 1 pound, large pebble for 10, gold piece for 25, a "ruby" for 50 and 100, and a "diamond" for goal.
  • Y'all want to know one of the main things I look forward to as I lose weight? Being able to bend over. Right now I have this huge belly in the way so I have to find other ways to reach my shoelaces or paint my toenails. It's so embarrassing when I drop something and have to retrieve it from the floor. Honestly, I doubt…
  • How is everyone doing? Got a little quiet on here.
  • Hi everyone! I am 36, 5'3", and today weighed 259. I started last year at 268, managed to get down to 238, but it was a struggle. I was doing so good. I had removed almost all soda and sweet tea but then I started drinking them again. I had changed the way I eat, but reverted back to my old ways. I would get so frustrated…
  • When I was in my early twenties this guy walked up to me in a bar and licked his finger, wiped it on my shirt, and said "baby let me take you home and get you out of those wet clothes"
  • Mine has finally resolved. I'm a nurse also and I can thank standing all day while learning to scrub for the misery I was in. I had noticed that the pain and limp were much worse when I first got up in the morning or whenever I first got up after sitting down. I found the key was to keep my feet flexed. When you sit do you…
  • Hi! I'm 35, 5'3", and started at 268 on June 21. My current weight is 245. My goal is to lose 50% of my starting weight which would put me at 134. I have a few friends on here and they have helped so much when things got tough. Got to stick together and push each other because this journey is no cake walk.
  • Woohoo!!!
  • What keeps me motivated is looking at the success stories everyday. I watch for pics and I also read the threads about NSVs and things people don't tell you about losing weight. It motivates the hell out of me because I want to feel how they feel. I used to be thin and beautiful and full of confidence and I so want to feel…
  • You look so much younger!
  • After reading your story I went out and bought a basic weight bench. I have everything else to begin a program similar to yours. Thank you for sharing! You have inspired me!
  • Everyone always says not to weigh yourself daily. I understand why, your weight will fluctuate from day to day. But I weigh myself daily because it keeps me on track. If I went a little overboard on the treats I will see it on the scale and get back on plan. So, Sunday morning I was in the ER with kidney stones and they…
  • Hello everyone! I would like to join your little family. I'm 35 years old, 5'3", and started at 268 pounds on June 21. I'm not married and don't have children, except for a couple of the 4 legged furry type. I'm also in grad school, which is super stressful. I've made it down to 258 and I hope to just keep dropping the…
  • In Boston I really enjoyed Jacob Wirth. It's German food and big beer selection. Excellent Italian on the north end
