-hughughug- I'm so sorry!!! That is so awful, no one should ever talk to you like that! You have the worlds permission to *kitten* slap all of those people. If it makes you feel any better, I've had similar problems with my mother. My sister is a teeny little twig and she's always comparing us and making rude comments...I…

I'm Catherine, and I'm 23, CW 175, GW 150 or lower. I was a tae Kwon do instructor for a long time back when being skinny was easy just due to my age, but basically the minute I quit I started gaining weight. I also developed some terrible eating habits, like eating ice cream to settle my stomach (which needs settling…

Yum!!! Something that worked really well for me last night was something my dad calls egg noodle casserole. If I reach a certain hunger point (which of course happens all the time when I diet) then I feel sick and basically can't even stand the sight of most foods. Before the diet I would eat a little ice cream to settle…

I have had the same wardrobe since high school and nothing fits anymore :/ and shopping is just depressing nowadays. My motivation is to be able to wear my old clothes again! My goal is to fit into my old shorts (my old jeans are size 4, I think that's being a little TOO optimistic) and for the jeans I'm wearing now to…

Such a huge change! Great work! You look fantastic!

I would love to join! That is my exact goal - lose 20 pounds by New Years. So far I've lost two and a half in about a week, hopefully that will keep going!

Thank you guys so much! This is so helpful! Keep it coming! :D

My jeans are usually too tight after I wash and dry them, but today they fit perfectly! (I've only been doing this for like three days)

I think all that person was trying to say is that it is a massively unhealthy weight loss typically. The healthiest recommended weight loss is 2 lbs per week. They're perfectly right to be worried about you.

Thanks guys! That's really helpful! Does anyone know of any specific beans or non-meat foods that are high in protein? Just any beans at all?

Try soylent. It's a meal replacement shake that you can eat for every meal forever and theoretically need nothing else. It's gluten free and has all the protein you need. It tastes like waffle batter but other than that it works great

That is really not good, please see a doctor immediately

I'm in the medical field, and I can tell you for a fact that a hundred pounds of excess weight is just not healthy. It causes so many problems. Everyone is living their own life and everything, people can look out for themselves, but you are trying to make yourself healthier and you should never feel bad for that. It's one…

I did insanity for awhile! It is accurately named but if you like cardio then you're going to love t :) good luck!

That sounds really fun! I will check that out! And I guess I should go back to my doctor and try to get something new :)

Thanks!!! That's great to hear! Very encouraging :)

You guys are so sweet and so helpful! Thank you! My doctor did try advair, but it is an immonosuppressant and it made me really really sick, so I quit that and just decided to stick with the albuterol rescue inhaler. I have been with this doctor for three years now, mind, and he has only just decided that it was EIB the…

This makes me feel so bad as well...I know it's hard, but keep doing what you're doing :) women's sizes are ridiculous, every store has a different set, so try not to care too much okay?

I'm having the same problem, sister. My BF and I live together and he CLAIMS he wants to eat healthier but he hates fish and vegetables and won't touch them and won't exercise anywhere near as often as I want to. All I can tell you is you do you and just try to ignore what he's up to or what he eats. Keep an open line of…

Agreed. This sounds like a psychological problem that a therapist could really help you with. It's not really about how you look, it's deeper than that. Plus, your body is going to change pretty soon (I just turned 23 and mine did at 22ish) so you need to be ok with you no matter how you look. I wish I could help, but…

Yay!!! Another nerd!!! I'm also a huuuuge fan of Zelda, skyrim, game of thrones, Harry Potter...all the nerdy things. CW 175 GW 150 but I've never done anything like this before and I have asthma so I can't really work out much...it's really hard... Would love some friends, we should all support each other in being…

I wish I could help, but I can definitely offer my sympathy. This has been my entire life. My sister is 5'6" and weighs 110 pounds at her fattest ever. She's a beanpole, and she eats and drinks like crazy. Meanwhile my body clings to weight; at my skinniest a couple years ago I was 140. My mother compares us all the time…

I'm 5'4" and 175 right now, I only just started all this :/ I'm 23 and I've been gaining weight steadily since starting college, but actual measurements varied as muscle mass grew. The past year has given me about 20 extra pounds though...I haven't had much support since doctors have always insisted I should weigh 130 ish…

Wow!!! This was so great to read! Good for you - I just started this sort of thing and it's so great to hear that it works!!!
