Fabulous You!

Hugs

Welcome! You've got this and we are here for you! Hugs

Someone close to me who was helping me lose weight asked me why do I always wear such long shirts and they are so big on you. The answer was that I didn't like wearing anything fitted cause I didn't want anyone to see my bulges. But I took their advice and bought much smaller clothes. And so guess what, I did look smaller.…

I do not like the constant comments I receive daily. My brother-in-law and a male friend looking me up and down telling me I lost weight. The people every single day that have to comment on the salad I eat for lunch, every single day questions about my salad and you are being good etc. I have been asked if I plan on losing…

I enjoyed hearing what you had to say. I especially liked when you said "obsessing way too much over things that didn't matter". When I heard it, I think you were talking about your body and maybe after weight loss not being happy with it. But now that I type this, it seems your phrase would go with anything - a person…

kangaroo pouch - wow, so that's what they call that, always have to have a not nice name for a body part

All great advice. Hugs and you've got this!

You did great, thinking through the wanting/craving. Hugs

It is really hard when someone is constantly eating foods in front of you that you cannot eat. If I was out and there was dessert, I would bring him home some. But then the food would be there for days and days and I would see it or while we are watching tv he is sitting right next to me eating the food I brought home. So…

Hi, So tonight I had leftovers - chicken, broccoli and cauliflower. I definitely feel full so no need or want to eat anything else. At night watching tv when I "feel" like eating I will actually chew a whole pack of gum (not at once lol but probably 2 or 3 hours. Great advice all of the above you received.

Never heard of Gym Shark. It doesn't matter to me what brand people wear.

Hugs and was wondering if you have a library nearby - sometimes there are programs to just sit and watch which can be enjoying and sometimes there are book clubs or craft clubs, just something to ponder. Hugs

Take the stairs; go to the gym. I kinda did how I would normally eat which is for me to watch the carbs (think pasta, rice, breads etc ((not the kind of carbs in veggies/fruits)). So anyway I would kinda decide beforehand which meal I would want to eat the carbs or a half of a carb for lunch and a half of a carb for…

This is crazy I can see now but many times I will just have 1/2 banana because the old Weight Watchers plan used to be to just eat 1/2 because they were to fattening to eat a whole. Sheesh - I will now eat a whole all the time.

Pilates 101 and you rocked it! lol

My scale always does this too. This morning it said I was down 10 lbs. Would love to have been that weight but knew it wasn't right. Weighed again - down 10 lbs. Weighed again - up 10 lbs. and then weighed two more times. It is just what I have to do to get the correct weight. Annoying - sure. And for me, because the scale…

Hi, A favorite uncle told me he would give me a perm if I lost weight. Mentioned it at a hospital when visiting my Grandma. All out of the blue. Why? Why was he looking at me, was there a discussion beforehand with my Aunt and Mom? Never got that perm. My Dad said once to me that I shouldn't lose my girlish figure. Another…

I am not in maintenance yet. I too have a problem with the scale. So I am only weighing myself once a month. I just weighed after 28 days. I have my hubby hide the scale from me. Then when I am ready, will ask him to bring it down. I feel like I may keep it here but why I would do that I don't know since whatever the scale…

Lost 70, gained 28. Now on losing mode again, down 13 of those 28. I am in a much happier place when I am eating healthy and in the right quantity. After gaining, I do get sad and it can be hard to restart. Hugs

Just Do It! nike

I was going to mention about getting the liver smaller to prepare for surgery as someone above said. Some bariatric docs want you to eat really light before the surgery to see that you can do it and adhere to the eating schedule after the surgery. My girlfriend who just had some type of foot surgery wasn't able to walk for…

I saw a couple on you tube explain it and they did it and lost. And I also watched Penn Jilette's video and he seemed excited about it and did lose weight. The couple said they lost all their food cravings.

I do not understand trying to lose weight while pregnant. Aren't you supposed to gain weight, like 15 - 20 lbs. at least? But trust your doctor and/or seek a second medical opinion to be sure. Hugs

I was looking on-line at Atkins 20. I see it is mostly 3 meals a day though there were some snacks you could eat. Do you just do 3 meals or do you also have snacks and if snacks, how many do you have a day? Thank you and continued success!

I definitely need to start adding in Diet Coke/Pepsi when I get that need/urge to eat; maybe it will stop my searching for food I do not want to eat; fill me up, I like the taste so I think it will be good for me. Thank you. I was trying to stay away but see no need to. I do try to stay away from the caffeine ones, I don't…

I like all the above tats. I have been thinking about getting one. Where on your body does it hurt the least?
