Great job so far! :]

I was at the eye doctor a few months ago for a diabetic eye exam. I was told I had be careful with my blood sugars because of pressure in my eyes and that I was at risk for glaucoma. I really don't want to suffer through diabetic complications like my dad did, so I'm trying really hard to make sure I'm trying my best to…

It's great that you found such an awesome way to lose weight! I've never even thought about doing anything like this. I've always been a huge fan of rewarding yourself once you completed a task to keep yourself motivated. This is definitely a nice way of doing that because it can show you how well you're doing and not make…

I think it would be awesome, but people can be incredibly hurtful, so do it with an open mind and be prepared for any discouraging people and try not to let it affect your goal. :]

Good luck!

The thing is, pretty much everyone gets them. I didn't start gaining a ton of weight until over the last few years and I've had stretch marks since I was 10 or 12 when my body started to "change", I got them in the top half of my legs and my hips. Now I have them because of my weight gain and they're in places that really…

It's pretty awesome. :]

I'm a total movie/TV junkie, horror and paranormal is my favorite, as well as comedy, so I definitely love horror comedy! I like to have an open mind about the afterlife with my dad being gone, so I have a thing for Ghost Adventures. Halloween is my version of Christmas (especially because I don't celebrate Christmas). I…

Honestly, I didn't even know anything about calories and what calories were until I joined this thing and found out I should have 1500 calories a day or less for right now, which is difficult for me because I'm constantly hungry, but I'm working on it. Until I started logging my calories I didn't realize how many calories…

I've been logging on here everyday for over a month now and I can assure you that this ISN'T going to be an easy ride. I can't count how many times I've said "I give up," in fact, I said it before I clicked on this post, which is why I'm on it, because I feel the same way you do and realized it was nice knowing that I'm…

If you're like me and you're doing this weight loss journey alone, it'll still be possible to get where you want to be, and try not to let it discourage you. It's incredibly hard at times but then there's days where it's not so bad. For me, today is a day where it's not so bad. I constantly went over my calorie limit last…

Good luck! :]

haha I wish I was gaining instead of losing. :P Good luck.

I'm completely obsessed with peanut butter, peanuts, and anything peanut butter flavored! I've had it everyday for years and I've never gotten sick of it. I try to avoid the crunchy peanut butter though... I accidently swallowed my last baby tooth while eating a crunchy peanut butter and jelly sandwich at school in 5th…

I'm sure anything new is exciting. Sometimes I get bored with Michigan, but it's not so bad. haha

That sounds like so much fun. :] I'm from the U.S. in Michigan.

haha The first street I ever lived on was called Ireland, so I can tell you my Irish obsession started very young. My sister went there one time, I was so jealous. :]

I'm not from there but I've always wanted to go there. :]

Great job. You've lost a lot already so far. Good luck with the rest!

You're welcome. :]

Hey. Good luck! :]

Wow. Great job so far. Good luck! :]

Lucky. That sounds like a lot of fun. :]

Thanks for the support. :]

LMFAO! I'm surprised by all the stories on here about doctors recommeding this site. You guys are so incredibly lucky to have such awesome doctors!!!!! A few months ago my doctor tricked me into going to the bathroom and using the cup (which I thought was for my diabetes, so I did it) and then she came back in the room and…

I knew I was overweight but I didn't realize I was obese until FitPal told me I was. I'm trying to get down to 100 pounds. Even when I was between 130 and 140 I was called fat. I'm 5'3 and right now I'm between 200-210 which is the most I've ever weighed and I gained 20 pounds this year.

Good luck!

I've had it for 21 years now. I was diagnosed with it when I was 5 and my dad had it as well. He had complications and died 15 years ago. Managing the diabetes is hard itself. I gained quite a bit of weight these last few years and now I'm trying to lose it. It's not easy.

That's amazing. I've always wanted to go to Ireland! Good luck! :]

Wanting kids is definitely one of my motivators to trying to lose the weight. Good luck!
