Welcome to the boards! I'm from Houston.

Welcome to the boards! You'll find lots of encouragement and support here. I'll send you a friend request.

I'm a bit far from you to play squash with you but welcome to the boards! You'll find lots of encouragement and support here.

Welcome to the boards, Carlee! Remember, it takes time to gain weight and therefore it takes time to lose it. Aim for gradual, steady progress. That's your unsolicited advice for today!

Welcome to the boards, Qle. Don't you realize that Q is normally followed by a "u"??? Haha, I am sure you have a good reason. I think the goal for all of us should be to just get as healthy as possible, not necessarily as skinny as possible. But who am I to argue with you about your goals? You know what's best for you. And…

Not me, but welcome to the boards and best of luck!

Welcome to the boards! Sounds like you have been through quite an ordeal. I admire your determination. As far as the junk food goes, I used to eat a ton of it. But not so much anymore. I believe it just became a habit for me not to eat it. The first few days of abstaining are pure hell, but each day becomes a little…

I'm not from your area, but welcome to the boards and good luck! You'll find lots of support and encouragement here.

Welcome to the boards! I have struggled with compulsive overeating my whole life. Not so much anymore. I think some of the answer is behavior modification, or put more simply, creating new habits. It's been said that anything you do for 90 days in a row becomes a permanent habit. So if you can put two days of not eating…

Wish I were... but anyway, welcome to the boards! You'll find lots of support and encouragement here.

Hey Squats, welcome to the boards! Yeah, I went to the gym two days in a row now. I had leg surgery way back in October, have used that as a bad excuse not to go to the gym. So I feel really good about going back. Muscles sure are stiff, though!

Welcome to the boards! You'll find lots of support and encouragement here.

Welcome to the boards! Honestly I doubt too many of us have your problem. Only thing I can say is if it takes reducing/burning 3500 calories to lose a pound, or 500 extra calories per day to lose a pound a week, it must take 3500 added calories per week to gain a pound. Good luck!

Welcome to the boards, Tamara! There's lots of support and encouragement here. I'll send you a friend request. Good luck!

Whiskey and a cigar. I don't advocate anyone starting smoking, but I do smoke a cigar every night and it's pretty hard to put food in your mouth when there's a cigar in it, lol!

Welcome back, mamaloca! You can do it!

Hi Jessica. Welcome to the boards! You'll find lots of encouragement and support here.

Yes we can, and yes we will! Welcome to the boards!

Welcome, Christina! You will find lots of support here. Good luck!

I don't do the ketogenic diet, but welcome to the boards! I'm sure you'll do great and there is lots of support here.

Welcome to the boards! You can do it!

Yeah, do it for yourself. You deserve it.

Wow, that is absolutely incredible progress in a very short period of time! Welcome to the boards!

Welcome to the boards, Steven! I applaud your goals, but to be honest, they may be overly ambitious and I would hate to see you set yourself up for failure. Losing weight that fast can result in a yo-yo effect and you could wind up regaining the weight you lost. One pound lost per week is recommended. Look at it this way:…

Welcome to the boards! One small bit of advice: count ALL your calories. In the past, I didn't count coffee creamers and alcoholic beverages. But now I do, because they really add up. Good luck. I know you'll do well!

Welcome to the boards! I don't live in Maryland anymore but I grew up in Rockville. Good luck with your goals!

Wow, that is a tough one! I have always had the same problem. If I could go back and eliminate the crap I've eaten after 8:00 p.m. for the past twenty years I would be 30 pounds lighter right now. Recently, when I come home from work at 10:30 p.m. I microwave a small sausage and wrap it in a tortilla. That's the end of my…

Welcome to the boards! Sounds like you already have a good program in place. I'll send you a friend request.

Welcome to the boards! I know you can do it!

I don't know, but welcome to the boards and good luck!
