I have about 200 to lose. I'm 53 lbs in so far. Add me :)

Yes that can be difficult. For us, we have found that him having more during the day, means we can make and eat dinner together. Works out well. And then if he wants something before bed, and I am out of calories he'll wait till I'm asleep sometimes so as not to eat it in my face. Not that I can't handle it, but he just…

My husband started at 475 and his calories were also super high, compared to mine. Especially considering he is more active and I work a desk job. But we are losing pretty close to each other, outside of the initial water weight. We both lose 1-2 lbs a week as long as we accurately track. It can be kinda frustrating that…

I totally feel you on those. I can not stand to hear someone breath or eat, lol. My ex-husband was a loud breather and I would constantly be annoyed, can you just not breath or something. And the lady who sits next to me at work is a loud eater and she eats all. day. long. Besides the fact that I am trying to lose weight…

What is this in reference to? I'm confused, are you saying we should want to hide our MFP accts? Mine is on here as well but he just doesn't post or view the forums.

Oh, thats great info. I am always trying to find a dressing that actually taste good.

I personally have never tried any Walden Farms products, BUT I have heard horrible reviews from people here. Come back and tell us what you thought.

53 lbs lost so far. No way near done but seeing pics like this is motivating!

Yes, I have experienced this for going on 10 years now. Being over 300 lbs, my period pretty much stopped. I would have random ones here and there, so maybe 1 a year. But I would also have random mini periods where I would bleed for a day or afternoon, then nothing again. I've been to the doctors multiple times, many…

I got the Charge HR a few months ago and it has really helped me stay motivated. Something about seeing those numbers really works for me. And it syncs just fine w/ MFP and my iphone.

I spend a lot of my time on weekends running errands so I understand what you are saying. I will try to eat before I go, and then I pack bottled water and snacks to eat while running around. If I must stop somewhere to eat, I check the calories before I even order, usually while I am in the parking lot. So for example…

Went back to Fredericksburg, TX for our 1 year anniversary last week. I hiked 2 miles of Enchanted Rock. It was hard. Like "Omg I don't think I'm ready for this" hard. I am still over 300 lbs, but I've lost over 50lbs and I wanted to do it. I survived.…

If I were to focus on the BIG number I have to lose to get to a normal BMI I would feel extremely overwhelmed. My starting weight was 367. I set a goal for 299 in August. I am now 15 lbs from that goal. I am not even 1/2 way to my BIG goal so I am no expert at this but here is what is working for me: I read a lot here. I…

Add me to the list of judgmental people. Sigh... I don't judge peoples grocery carts, bc I eat everything so you don't know my life. I just portion and track! BUT there is a lady who sits next to me at work, and I swear she has "found" every pound I've lost. She eats all day long. It really stresses me out sometimes bc it…

Couple things here recently. One I am getting stopped more and more by the ladies at work. I work in a large law firm so they seem me in passing and yesterday 2 ladies were coming back from lunch and stopped me in the hallway to say that they noticed how much I've lost and that I am doing great, whats my secret, etc. The…

WTF. Wow what a reaction. I don't know if I could remain friends...That would bother me.

When my husband and I were dating, when we would go out to eat we would catch people looking. And ok maybe I can't count every look bc we don't know why they were looking, but usually you can see it in their facial expressions. But I also have a very vivid memory of going to the movies and seeing a police officers nudge…

I'm curious to know, if those of us who feel that there def is a difference in the way we are treated, and those who feel like there is no difference, what weight level we all started at. Self confidence, or lack there of, doesn't seem to be what it is. We've had several people already squash that one. Just like a few…

I have pretty much always been morbidly obese. I'm 5'2" and in junior high I was already 175. I have never known what its like to be hit on, or flirted with out in public. I can probably count on my hands how many times that has happened to me. I've never had a drink bought for me, or anything like that. Now I have always…

After being here for 120 days I am finally learning to listen to my body when it comes to hunger better. Previously I couldn't tell anything except SUPER STUFFED. But it was probably bc I didn't know the difference between hungry and not full. If I was no longer full I would eat. That's how I got to 367lbs. Now, I eat on a…

Me too. I decided to take a few days off of logging for the holiday but I am back, as of yesterday.

My shoes today were tied a little too tight, so instead of suffering all day, I was able bend down and loosen the laces and retie them w/o it being an ordeal. My feet thank me.

Wow that looks awesome. Can I get your recipe?

YES! Those mini cupcakes were the best!

The big one I did was Adipex (phentermine). I lost 70 lbs in 2 months and I didn't even try. At first the Dr at this place told me to eat 1200 calories and 24 grams of fat. That lasted like 2 weeks. It was so hard to stay at the fat grams. So I just started eating what I wanted and I still lost weight. I didn't have any…

Hi Brittany. I'm Rhianna. I don't have or am planning on having any type of bariactric surgery, BUT I looked into it a lot. I did a ton of research and ultimately decided it wasn't for me. Instead I've been here since around July. I have learned a whole lot about weight loss and calories by reading the forums. My SW was…

I haven't even set my ultimate goal yet. But for now I am aiming for under 299. I started at 367. So I def have at least 100 lbs to lose. Been here since July-ish. I've lost 48.6 lbs so far.

Houston!

Oh to add I pretty much only cook chicken on low, around 6-8 hours depending on the amount of chicken.
