@HarryMJ Yeah, to me you have hit the nail/head to in saying about hitting the right amount of food portions according to your perceptions of what 'others' eat....There in lies a huge issue. It is all about what YOU can eat. Including the amount of calories is right for you. In your profile, you admit to struggling with…

You are a simply gorgeous, strong, fit and healthy. Well done you look amazing. <3
-
Whoa *gasp* you look fantastic. Well done mate. The differences between the 2 pics. is astounding.
-
Your words are as inspiring as is your strength, determination and the Wow factor of your transformation. Truly, you look amazing <3

Honestly unless you are with these people 24/7 over an extended period your calculations on what they eating as well as expending is going to be off the mark. For your sake you need to let go of the comparing otherwise it will eat you up. Baring medical conditions there really is scant difference between people's…

OP ^^^^ <3 This so much!!!! If you haven't changed externally enough for you to feel satisfied, be reassured that your 22 lbs of loss has probably come off the most 'dangerous fat' of all. Also, as someone else has wisely stated comparison really is the thief of joy....Focus on you only and know that you have done a…

@Shrinkydink1977 You have gotten great feedback on the BMI front as well as others achieving the 'impossible' I'd like to add my voice to the chorus. At 48 I was at my heaviest weighing 278 lbs fast forward to now at 54 with very different cirucumstances healthwise and I'm still maintaining my loss of 168 lbs despite…

An amazing transformation especially keeping in mind how difficult those conditions are to live with. <3
-
Simply stunning transformation. <3 the new dress and your little one is gorgeous!

@KrazyKrissyy - Others here are ore familiar with your posting history and many of the most respected and senior members of MFP have raised alarm bells and worries about your health. I'm about to put my heart and sould on my sleeve to try to reach out to you. I'm now 54 and starved myself (I'm not aware it had a name back…

<3 Looking fabulous!!

@elphie754 I don't have anything about hypoglycemia I can advise you with but I wanted to come in an give my support, hugs and best wishes to you. This has been such a difficult pregnancy, you have had many struggles and I just wanted to say how wonderful I think you are. You are so strong and wonderfully pragmatic. Each…

Oh Gawd @elphie754.....Girl, I am exactly the same as you and Yeah I kind of feel guilty too but it does help me get out of the funk I'm in and be grateful for the blessings I have.....so there is a positive spin off.

OP being sick sucks and really is a time where you need to respect your bodies needs to rest and recuperate. Seconding the idea of eating at maintenance. Ensure to keep up your fluids, eat nourishing foods (ie: those foods that you enjoy and nourish both body and soul) rest and get better. Don't be too eager to get back to…

We have watched a few of the older shows....and kind of felt like it was the whole "watching a train wreck" scenario....you want to look away but you just can't. I also feel that sometimes this show and the other one, Supersize v's Superskinny waste a lot of time in sensationalism rather than using air time to tackle just…
-
Just want to say this is awesome and I think too that it can be true to some extent or another when you are dieting. Obviously there are those that cut calories too hard or go to other extremes ie: changing the foods they feel they must eat rather than eating foods they enjoy just less. Actually anything to do with diet or…
-
Looking fabulous, congratulations your hard work is certainly showing.
-
As Jerome has pointed out success comes from making changes to your life that are sustainable for the rest of your life. Obviously no-one can be in your shoes but there have been many people on MFP with a lot of weight to lose and importantly they have kept it off in long term maintenance. Whatever you do be mindful of…
-
@GoldenLennon - you are only 25 and as your profile says you are "Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired." Believe me if you feel this way now at your age being older can make the whole 'journey' worse and harder. Our bodies, joints, hormones to name a few do not find obesity healthy. Obesity affects us in all aspects of…
-
Oh Verity, why are you putting yourself through all this worry over and over again? I have to say that your posts do raise concerns in me for your welfare. I think that reading those well intentioned cautionary messages are hitting you hard - they are touching a raw nerve. I think too that fundamentally you do know you are…
-
You look wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story it is inspiring. <3
-
<3 your message. It is very true. Congratulations on your wonderful progress. You look amazing, well done.

Oh dear what an incredibly stressful time you are enduring. Having a seriously ill child is truly every parent's nightmare and focusing on anything else other than their needs is incredibly difficult. I do speak from experience, even though it was almost 30 years ago now. Our youngest child was born, critically ill and…
-
Me. Hindsight is clear sight, so knowing what I know now leads me to believe that I have suffered with depression pretty much all my life. I also struggle with crippling anxiety and PTSD the latter due to an abusive childhood. After my Dad passed away I spent time in Psych wards and those experiences pushed me close to…
-
Incredibly understandable and natural to have these feelings. Taking each day at time and looking after yourself mentally and physically in the best possible way is a really positive step. You will find that you are more strong and resourceful than you ever believed.
-
Oh Elphie, I do feel for you. Long time since I was pregnant but I remember these feelings. The 2 pregnancies did do a number on my weight and thus my esteem and I had a lot of worries about getting back to a more manageable 'happy' size. The 2nd trimester is really where pregnancy takes on new meaning in bumps growing…
-
Yeah - ^^^ meticulous logging will be a great start and reallt help you get the weight gain under control. As wise @VitageFeline said living with chronic illness is already a draining *kitten* without letting the stress of weight gain and the entertaining guilt over what you think you should accomplish despite the known…
-
Congratulations on finding something that inspires you and keeps you going through the tough times!
-
Oh thank the Great Potatoe!!!! I was *kitten* myself I'd missed something. You more experienced members are better at spotting things than me. This sounds like a bit of a mystery OP - water retention maybe a little bit of the answer but not enough to cover what you 'should' have lost at such a deficit. As for gaining…
-
Hmm, there were 2 particularly low days that caught my eye 870 something and a 275? There were also a few entries for takeaway foods, or restaurant dishes and maybe using large as an indicator of calories. You don't sound snarky in the least, TBH I was worried I might offend you. Sincerely though...you sound as though you…
