Bouncing up and down for 2,5 months soon. Never gaining more than 5 lbs even from water but never dropping from my current lowest weight either... :(

The only part of me that knows how to grow thicker skin is my heels :|

About every 5 kg (11 lbs) my clothes pretty much hang on me. Right now belt is the only thing saving me from anything embarrassing and my shoulders are taking care of my shirt somehow staying on me but it looks like someone just wrapped a tent around me. But I can't afford to buy clothes once a month and thrift stores…

I had a nose surgery myself but not for appearance. I had really hard time breathing because my nasal septum was crooked (it didn't show outside at all) and blocking nostrils because of it. It still didn't quite fix the problem completely and some scarring inside nostrils happened but it helped breathing little bit. Just…

Just that it usually doesn't happen straight to your face doesn't mean it never happened to others. It is very real to a lot of people. Makes me wonder what do you think of school and workplace bullying. Is that made up too or is it somehow different then because it happens more often and in specific place and time?

Dated someone who played games whole night shouting in Teamspeak or Skype and went to sleep 4 am while I had to get up 6 am for work. Lack of sleep made me really moody and anxious and made bipolar disorder a lot worse because of it. I asked him to go sleep earlier so I can sleep too, he wouldn't do it. Wouldn't do a lot…

I've had my own share of fat shaming in stores. Like usually I buy low fat mince meat (usually has only cow or cow-pork mix) but this time I was buying pork-cow mix from sale since it was 50% off. At cashier a middle aged woman behind me scoffed "no wonder you are so fat when you eat that stuff". I had three packs of that…

I used to think this too, that they have something I don't. But now I understand why. I really don't need that excess food to stay satisfied and full. I actually like it more like this, I'm not eating myself full but enough to get hunger go away. It leaves me with far more energy to do things and makes me feel better. I…

I'm dropping in clothes sizes so fast I can't afford new clothes and thrift shops don't have my size because it is still larger than usual... Everything just hangs on me either from a belt or my shoulders and it looks awful. And I still have 40 kg (88 lbs) to go :(

Have you tried earplugs for sleeping? Good earplugs stay in your ears and block noises well, when you have problems with sleeping and stress you wake up easier from little sounds already. Also can you separate bed with your husband so him moving on bed won't wake you up? If it is possible to have a separate bed you can…

I take caffeine pills in morning for school, I hate how coffee and tea tastes so I rather have my caffeine as a pill. I don't need it for a workout but I'm just not a morning person haha :D

100 grams of banana? 1 banana can be anything between 100 and 200 grams. Around 90 calories per 100 gram (85 to 95 calories listed in different sites). Grapes? Around 60 calories for 100 grams. They usually sell them in pack of 500 grams here so that pack alone would be 300 calories. Avocado? 190 calories per 100 gram!…

You do realise you don't have to have those things in your house? And if you do feel like having treats, why don't you make them in small size enough for one or two portions? It's not hard to make a small cheesecake which is enough for one person. Doughnuts? Buy just one if you want one, don't buy more that same day. And…

Just how bitter people will become when you can do what they have failed doing for years...

I Hate U I love Chocolate

I have hypothyroidism and losing weight atm, sometimes I have 2-3 weeks when I don't lose and gain little bit but then it drops again to new lowest weight. Good medication helps a lot with having energy to do stuff.

You might not be happy and satisfied with things like lack of money and bills piling up but you can have plenty of other good things in your life to keep you happy. If those other things are good enough for yourself and there's enough of those good things for you, would you think you are happy for those things and when you…

I'll answer as well. I have high blood sugar but it's not high enough for diabetes so I still have a chance to beat it. I'm also studying for a career where it is also required to carry a lot of heavy stuff, be able to work with machines (some of them require hell a lot of strength to be closed or opened) and climb really…

I've been using 200 ml as a cup size :smile:

I've found a lot of healthy recipes which taste so amazingly good. I don't feel like I miss out anything since those recipes added to my favourite foods a lot so I can just choose any time a healthier choice I like as much as other options. Sometimes I can have one of my old foods as well if I feel like it. On top of that…

Buy headphones or something else to block out noises of your own breathing and other people and play your favourite music. Go to gym or out to do whatever you want during times when there are no other people at start. Do things you have to focus on a lot so you won't have time to pay attention to what others are doing.…

I weigh every day in morning to see how my weight is but log it 1-2 times a week only. And check in evening how much the food I ate has affected my weight but that's also just curiosity and won't have anything to do with logging. There's no real need to weigh that often but I just want to know stuff :smile:

Surströmming. Remember to open the cans on your bed and spill everything at least twice! ;)

Hey, trying to lose 120 lbs and already lost 20 lbs since january. Feel free to add me :smile:

It doesn't need to be constant suffering. Healthy food can taste delicious. I was having hard time adding fruits and vegetables to my food but then I figured out why not have a smoothie? Fruits, berries, some yoghurt and little bit juice or milk... Tastes so awesome and fresh and it is really filling for the amount of…

Hmm, would it be possible for you to go out with him and eat only half of the food you order and take rest of it home with you for lunch next day? That could be one solution you could try sometimes :smile:

Worst thing about getting fit and healthy? I need to maintain it unless I want to waste all that effort I put into it so far. Better learn to like exercising and watching what I eat for rest of my life... Sigh

I had too many problems weighing far more in scale than how I look or how much I weigh. Depression, constant exhaustion from hypothyroidism, money problems, anxiety and no proper treatment to any of those. There was just no way to deal with my weight when there were things far more exhausting and burdening and being obese…

120 pounds to lose and 20 already gone! 25 years old so it's good time to get rid of it finally :D

I know this feeling too well! I took my belt to the shop I bought it from three times now to add more holes and to cut some of it off. It used to be 130 cm long belt (from furthest hole to buckle) when I bought it and I had to use second furthest hole from buckle that time but now it is 114 cm from buckle to the furthest…
