Trust me I know. I make sure to never bring up her weight if she's around. My parents brought up my weight a lot when I was a child and well, here I am. The only reason I know her weight is because she loves to hop on my bathroom scale. She doesn't even know what the numbers mean. I'm definitely going to look into some…

For sure I don't mention her weight. I talk to her all the time about being healthy and she understands. She loves my cooking even goes so far as to compliment my broccoli cooking skills (thanks? lol) it's once she goes to her dad's. They have their own habits over there and she's accustomed to them. She knows she gets…

I said my parents never brought me to the doctor's unless something was wrong. I was obese as a child. It's not something I would think to go to the doctor's for honestly. I never went to the doctor's for my obesity as an adult. I'm going to bring her tho. Our doctor isn't the most helpful but maybe we can get some blood…

This is what I will probably do. I'll just report back what the doctor says and he can do what he wants with the information. Because @jgnatca is right. I can't control how they do things at their home. Thanks everyone! I've been worried about this for a while now. I thought it was my duty to do something about it but now…

Yes I was definitely thinking this.

We don't go to the doctor much. She's due for some vaccinations so we'll be going soon. I was raised with not going to the doctor unless something was wrong. So I haven't been to her doctor for any of this yet. That's my next step. We're in Canada so all we have is a "family doctor" and he's honestly so awful. It can take…

This is what I've been doing and this is what I was leaning towards (I'm not much of a talker lol). I'm afraid that even if I brought it up there would be no change. Especially because it would make them look at their own habits and if they're not ready to do that then I'm SOL.

You're right about it being more of a relationship issue. We normally text, we only see each other in person about once a month when "the switch" falls on a holiday. Our relationship is definitely better than it's ever been, it's been a long 6 years that's for sure. I would never bring up anyone's weight lol was more for…

Stopped seriously tracking on the 23rd didn't start back up until the 31st. I was 148lbs before the holidays and I was 150.5 on the 1st of January. As of this morning (3 days after) I am down 1.2lbs so I'm at 149.3lbs atm. From what I remember eating, some of that has to be some real fat lol I ate way over maintenance most…

All of this. Like every part lol I LOVE spicy food now. I put frank's red on everything now and I was also so amazed that I was literally bloated 24/7.

beef jerky

My ideal goal look is unattainable, but I think that's the point of this exercise.

My resolution is to be kinder to myself. I think it went very well. I put on a face mask. It was great. My fairly expensive purses and makeup came in the mail. I'm happy. Thank you me, that was very kind of you.

Witchcraft.

Weight wise? Cause technically it's the same amount of food except the chicken is just over 200cals while the pasta (cooked) is just over 300. So I could add like 80 grams worth of chicken. ETA: Totally estimating of course. I shouldn't have said "you should" lol it's all good I don't expect everyone to feel the same way.

You should really focus on eating more meat if you're worried about hunger. Protein calories I find are the most worth it. I have a hard time "spending" 200 calories on carbs (which is easy to do) but a VERY easy time "spending" 200 calories on protein (which is a *kitten* ton of food). Yumyum.

I added you. I'm also 22 and started at 230lbs. I'm down 82lbs so far and I have 18 to go! You can do it :smiley:

Thanks so much! Not much of a fitness story, more like a consistent calorie deficit story lol I don't do any exercise really, especially now that it's winter. I'm waiting until I'm done losing weight to start toning. I never did like working out lol

ketchup, eggs, hot sauce, bread

I'm 20lbs away from being 100lbs down. Add me if you would like :smile: It does go by faster than you think.

If you're ready to go to bed just go to bed. I always save at least 300 calories for night time snacking since I don't eat breakfast. I love snacking lol but if it's close enough to bedtime I'll just go to sleep instead and save those calories for a nice carb filled supper the next day :smile: Drinking water I think is the…

Gaining a pound over the holidays and being totally cool with it. I got back on track no problem and I'm pretty friggin proud. This is my first time slipping a bit during this "journey" so I was really scared how I was going to react to the inevitable and I killed it. WOO! Bring it on 2018!

I started at 230lbs at 5'3" and am now 150lbs. I have loose skin but nothing is hanging lol just a little jiggly. You're young so I think you'll bounce back just fine. I've read (in these forums) that it takes a couple years after weight loss for your skin to shrink to what it's going to be forever, so if you have loose…

Sounds like an angry fat person wrote it lol

Is it only a Canadian thing? I guess I just figured everyone did it but I am Canadian soooo....

I don't see many men wearing two-piece bathing suits tho lol so apparently they are safe from judgement.

Literally every full grown woman will have a stretch mark or two. This is stupid.

Same girl. I've lost 82lbs and people tell me I'm skinny enough. Maybe from how big I was I am but I'm still overweight so eff off.

I didn't log. 3 days of turkey dinners and desserts and I woke up this morning 0.2lbs lighter than 3 days ago. Not even any water weight, I was amazed. It's now that I'm worried about. I'm currently snacking on a bag of pretzels because I'm still hungover. Meh, I'll be back at it tomorrow.
