This isn't my first rodeo either, and all I've been doing is gaining so I have more than 100lbs to lose! I "restarted" yesterday, and I'm always happy to have new friends! If we all stick together, we can definitely do this!

I've gone through every page and I have to say you have all done an amazing job. I cannot wait to be where you all are. I wish there were more pages because it really pumps me up and gets me excited to shift all this weight. Well done to everyone!

I feel you. I'm in my early twenties and I'm not really thrilled about the idea of loose skin, but it might happen. I already have a billion stretch marks, they're everywhere, and they may get worse losing the weight and all. It really upsets me thinking about these things so I try and convince myself that this is for the…

Watched these out of curiosity as I know nothing about lifting. But damn I wanna lift so bad! You all are so impressive! I have the strength of a newborn though. For. Reals. So I doubt I'll be lifting any time soon hah.

I never thought of beans!

Yo man, toss me some of dem eggies.

Oh man, I just avoid the elliptical all together. I last about a few minutes and I'm done. My legs KILL. Mind you I am a heavy gal and am very unfit, so I suppose it would take practice and stuff. I suggest just going on it a couple of times a day and eventually you will be able to start doing longer! It's like increasing…

Ever since I started MFP I've been in a great mood. But today I had a breakdown, while I was on the treadmill. Mind you, I hate the treadmill, and I'm a bit down about not appearing to lose weight and I think I just lost it. Depression sabotaged my weight loss last time I succeeded and I don't want it to happen again.…

So many awesome people! Feel free to add me, as I am also pretty awesome. Age: 22 Occupation: Unemployed. It's very difficult to get a minimum wage job around here :/ College: Going in September for Animal Care! :) Location: GTA Ontario, Canada Fitness Goals: To be the best me I can be. Lose 80-90lbs, get all toned and…

Ahh, I really want some sort of breast augmentation definitely. They grew in so fast and they are a sorry excuse for young breasts lol. I may end up getting a reduction depending on how they look when I've lost weight. I never really lost much weight from them so it all depends on if I look somewhat in proportion or not…

Just go out if you want! I know it's hard but if you want to enjoy that outing, it's like there's not much of a choice. Personally my friends can go suck it if they want me to eat out right now haha.

Aw OP! You remind me of me in the younger days when I knew nothing about nutrition. I mean, I still know next to nothing, but I know that can't be good! There was a diet I was on that had all smoothies for one week, and since I didn't like smoothies or the veggies, I just ate fruit. I didn't last the whole week because I…

I would say just avoid them and go for more fruit. But I also dislike vegetables but I find my ways of eating them. Like, I hate broccoli, but if they are stir fried with garlic, broccoli is yummy. I also feel you with the gagging problem. Peaches make me gag, and smoothies make me gag. It's the texture. If for you you…

It's true, motivation comes and goes it really does. I've tried losing weight many times and I just wasn't motivated enough and ended up giving up. This time though, I am so determined. This app helps A LOT. I'm excited to lose weight and be the best me I can be :) You'll get there! Or if you're willing, just push yourself…

Yes, I've heard that weight can have something to do with TOM. But I personally never had a real period no matter my weight, had it once or twice a year and it was bad! Taking birth control to keep it monthly now so if you're worried you could try that. If it doesn't change after some weight loss, I recommend going to the…

Hi there! I'm only a beginner at all this, but If I can help at all, I'd be glad to :)

Thank you everyone! I'm not going to let it bring me down, I'm determined this time! :)

Alright, I'll definitely pay close attention to how I'm feeling the next few weeks. I'm just not used to eating so little, since I grew up on very large portions (so bad!) I'm just learning how to control myself. So I'll make sure I'm eating the right amount, thank you.

Thank you! And my overall goal is to lose 80-90lbs overall, and as fast as possible. So around 2lbs a week. Through this I want to make sure I keep my muscle intact as I will be toning through this. I want to not have any ill side effects from lack of nutrition. And feel as full as possible with the least amount of…

Three words. Chicken. Tikka. Masala.

Hello :)

Hi Kerry! I'm here to lose a total of 80-90lbs after a lifetime of being so self conscious about my weight. I lost a whole bunch a few years ago, and got majorly depressed and ended up stopping my regime and gained it all back, and now more! I'm a big binger and I eat my feelings constantly, I gained an extra 40lbs over…

Thanks for the tips! I've looked up some recipes for pizza, and I really want to try a cauliflower crust pizza! I won't binge, I know I can do this! I having some curry tonight, so that's exciting for me heh.

I'm hoping these cravings go away because I'm done being a slave to food! I do wanna lose the weight, I do I do!

You can do it! The last poundage can be oh so stubborn!

Hi Cara! I'm sorta in the same boat as you weight wise, I'm at my heaviest ever! I've always been a bit on the pudgy side, but I let myself go. I'm a big binger on bad foods, so I'm trying to cut it all out for now hoping I get over these cravings and then start teaching myself not to binge heh. Happy to hear you're…

I don't have much, I have some very light Dumbbells for my upper body and some different resistance bands/tubes. Ahh the plank, something I suck at. Time to start doing it and get good!

Okay, so more on the core. I want to be stronger in that area, I feel like it will help my back too. But it's just finding the right exercises.

I work out at home for now :)

I would love some more friends! This will be a long journey so all motivation is welcome :)
