When I met my future husband, I was about 20 pounds overweight. I met him online, through a chance meeting. As soon as I chatted with him for the first time, I didn't worry about how I looked. I told him before I met him in person that I was chunky (probably at least 20 times just so he wasn't surprised lol). The first…

<~~~ in for coffee and cake - side effects be damned

The title of your post: "im-mad-at-myself-for-getting-to-where-i-was-and-im-mad-at-other-people" You outright blame other people for not telling you that you gained weight. What am I not getting?

We are leaving work early today and I have a long weekend!

I just can't understand you being mad at other people for you gaining weight. It seems you have made every excuse but taken zero personal responsibility. I don't blame anyone else for my weight gain. I also don't give anyone else credit for when I lose it.

One of the things that has helped me the most is doing all my food prep once a week. I meal plan for the whole week (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks) before I go to the store and I only buy what I need. I am 5'5", 37 yo, 338 pounds. Last year, I lost 80 pounds, had major surgery and stopped logging my food. I gained…

[/quote] I was seeing someone for my ankle injury not being weighed though so for 4 months I didnt know...it was all huge shirts (xl/xxl t shirts when I was as far as I knew a M) and baggy string pull pants because my cast was huge. lol. But you are right. I wish my dr had even weighed me when I went to be seen for my…

Old Navy - I have a small-ish waist, but I have big hips and a big butt. They seem to fit great, just too long. I'm also under 5'5" :smile:

I looked at your diary, it does not look like you are eating enough which is probably why you are hungry at night. You are consuming less than 1000 calories/day. Is there a medical reason you are eating so little?

I have about 120-140 to lose. I can always use more supportive friends that have similar goals - please add me! :blush:

Thank you for sharing! I checked your IG, followed! You are such an inspiration!

When my Mr holds my hand in the car Opening a new book Good sex Eating dessert Sand under my toes Weekends away with my best friend Clean sheets

80's hair bands and singing at the top of my lungs in the car. also Discovery ID channel. I could watch it for hours a day and never get bored.

My Mr has watched for almost 40 years - I don't think he's hardly missed an episode and we have gone to numerous live events. They are actually a ton of fun! :smile:

Hi, how are you? @Geoffers38

I have someone at work who tells me everyday that the ONLY possible way to lose weight is to eat low carb. He has outright told me that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight counting calories. :p

Talking about squirrel underpants with my mom :D

^ I agree with this (except I am not lean and fit at the moment). I am overweight. Last year, I lost alot of weight (80 pounds). I was on my way to being a healthy BMI. I had major surgery and I stopped tracking and gained a good bit of my weight back. I don't think my weight has anything to do with my knowledge or lack…

^ this - I try to stay away from chemicals parading as food as much as I can

Also, what about all the patient's that are on government assistance that don't pay for healthcare? I work in the medical field and there are many people that get state funded Medicaid that are obese and smoke. Many of them don't work, so they don't pay taxes to fund their healthcare. So on top of my own healthcare…

I agree

I'm just here for the pictures

I usually drink until I can't feel feelings, so........there's that

central Indiana, USA (love meeting new people, add me!)

Could not have said it better myself - good luck!

thank you for sharing your story! I have thought about downloading C25K but I think I'm too heavy. At one point I had lost 80 pounds, but I've gained about 50 of it back. Your story gives me hope to keep pushing and I will get there!!

@AnvilHead thank you for sharing this - I didn't know you could buy individual samples. I am going to try a few different ones and see what I like best.

I have lots of bad memories and trauma. Nothing I really care to share here, and nothing that "thicker skin" could have taken care of.

You win the internet today.

I don't think children should be allowed in public. Period.
