I started November 2015 at 280lbs, I'm now at 150lbs

Oh shucks, Imma weirdo. I'll see myself out.

I work in a medical unit inside a correctional facility from 3p-12p. The schedule helps allow me go to school in the mornings so that one day maybe I won't have to work a crappy swing schedule inside a jail. In some ways I think it's helped my diet as well -- every morning I end up packing all the foods I eat throughout…

I've been adding a spoonful of crema to my cottage cheese lately. It just makes things richer. I love crema so much <3

Skip the starch and cheese and it's super easy. Tonight I'm having roast turkey with mole sauce with roasted potatoes & root vegetables. Nearly 5oz of turkey, the mole sauce is pretty dense and I'm still only going to be at 400 calories or so. A common go-to for me is an entire bag of frozen veg mixed with a frozen…

lol thank you! But to be honest, there's tons of loose skin there. I can make the skin on my arm "clap" it's so floppy. BUT STILL no one looks at my arm now and first thinks "omg loose skin" (unless I'm showing the flappy arm trick). At the end of the day, a healthy body size still ends up looking far more attractive than…

On the right:

That's basically how my journey has gone. At the end of the day, I may never end up in a healthy weight (I seem to be dropping clothing sizes faster than weight and have decided if I start fitting into size 4 I'm going to put the breaks on this diet thing (I'm 5'6"! Not a tiny lady!), even if I haven't made it to a healthy…

I was 275lbs 11/2017 back when I first joined MFP. Now I'm 155, but I still wanna make it down to 140 just like you lol Adding you, I always love to have more friends on here!!

I've been doing 1200 calories for nearly 2 years now. My body apparently keeps forgetting to go into starvation mode or something, which is cool. I supplement a lot of food with low calorie veggies, stick to high protein and high fiber and I'm a pretty happy gal. Today's meal plan: Breakfast (200 calories): 3 slices of…

A friend reposted an old photo of me from 2013 on Facebook and at first I legit didn't recognize myself. The photo shows well why these days it's possible for me to flap my arms in a way that my loose skin smacks itself #sexy. But f'real, I look way better these days, flappy skin and all. Dec 2013: Today:

:lol: guys, this was a one time thing. Of course I normally go fart somewhere else. That's what makes this whole thing so danged weird.

It's better to enter in everything individually.

I agree it's funny, that's why I posted. But that's a lot of assumptions from details not given in my story -- I had worked with the coworker for 20 minutes at that point (ever, it was her first day). She'd already sprayed the room once. I hadn't tooted between her spraying the room the first and second time, I wasn't even…

It loses water weight. Water doesn't have calories. If it loses calories otherwise (e.g. stuff sticking to the pan) it's negligible.

Part of my tootin issue is my love for broccoli and brussels sprouts. I had 3 cups of leafy greens yesterday too!

I really like my diet! It's nutritious and keeps me happy at 1200 calories a day. I will definitely try picking up some simethicone or charcoal or something tho. I didn't realize it was such an issue, my work is pretty stinky even without my toots.

"Hey deviatednorm, can you come into my office real quick? So...how's everything working with work? Okay okay...good to hear...so...last night, can you tell me a little about what went on?" "Uh...idk what you're referring to, last night was slow and uneventful." "There was a nurse who sprayed something tho? So... uh...…

This all stemmed from me asking a coworker to wait 20 minutes until I left to spray down the main office with lavender for the second time that night. I didn't realize she was doing so to cover my toots, I wasn't having a super bad fart night even! My boss asked me to let folks spray their heart out and that I should sneak…

Yep! :/ Most embarrassing trip to the boss's office yet. I'll definitely have to give those a try. My coworkers are nurses and such, I guess they can wipe a patient's *kitten* but my toots are just too too much. ...they are pretty bad.

So close! Just 5-10lbs to go :)

When I joined MFP I wore a size 24. Yesterday I went out in a size 6 dress and got plenty of compliments on how well it fit and how good it looked. And I kinda agree! ;)

July 2014 or so at nearly 300lbs: Yesterday at 155lbs: I hope to one day be half the person I used to be.

It's possible. All of it.

Lost 120lbs and counting just by following MFP's recommended calorie amounts. Started at 1750, now at 1260

I like using different balsamic vinegars -- spicy, fruity ones are probably my favorite. But orange juice or lime juice on its own works really well too. For an add of creamy, mix with some plain greek yogurt and add some spices.

Hardboiled eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese

Noodles & Company has a chicken kids meal that can be combined with a cup of soup for a satisfying, low calorie meal.
