Another fun app is Zombies, run! which takes you on a path to safety from the zombie Apocalypse. You don't have to run, it can be used for walking as well. It has a bunch of missions and its a something that adds some fun to your workout. They have a few app, the walk, which I haven't tried yet but i've seen good reviews…

I'm sure other places sell it but if you don't feel like making your own cauliflower crust, you can buy a good one at Trader Joes!

@jonraines32586 that’s very smart! I’m hoping to get a construction trailer to work on soon so that could be great in there.

@mellykelley thanks for those ideas! I think the no microwave is really throwing me off as I’m so use to eating leftovers or picking up food from a restaurant so I’ve been struggling with what to bring that I can eat cold. I think I need to get myself a new lunchbox for sure! @fatoldladyonamission I didn’t think of a…

I think everyone loses weight in different places so don't let anyone not noticing get to you! Sometimes its just loosing a bit from lots of places or loosing a lot from one place. I think setting small goals is helpful as it gives you something to work towards. I get super stressed at the bigger number loss but when I…

I'm sorry your dealing with this, it's never fun to deal with *kitten* people. You should have friends who support you, not bring you down. If your friends in the group (outside of the one) are really your friends, they'd hear what this person is saying and dismiss it as they know you well enough to know it's not true.…

Do they have a side salad where you can get the dressing on the side? You could start with that and get one of the options and eat half of it. If there is any discussion about why you're eating less, you can say that the salad filled you up more than you thought. I haven't really told a lot of people about losing weight so…

I’m currently single but meet someone an online site and we dated for 3 years. I think like some other folks said, having photos that are accurate to what you look like is important as it weeds out folks who may not be interested based on your weight. It can be really scary to put yourself out into the world as no one…

What a great thread as I think there are lots of awesome lifestyle changes that aren't related to the scale that should be celebrated. I think mine would be giving up regular soda. I didn't realize how much I was drinking until I stopped and how much I really craved it daily which I wouldn't have guessed. I also love to…

UGH, I've totally had the sinus thing happen too and in the moment, you just want someone to help, not lecture about something that isn't related! I think lots of people feel this way unfortunately and it can have such real consequences. I have to get an infusion every two weeks for a disease I have so I see a doctor (the…

@CassieBinTC I think WLS is a big decision, like any major surgery, and I know people who've had mixed results. I think for some people, it really is their only option but for myself, I'm not ready to make that decision. The fact that you can only eat small amounts would be very triggering for me as I'm in recovery from an…

It's great to see everyone's goals as it gives me ideas as well! I guess my large goal is to make it to 200 pounds but I haven't been at that weight in a long time (as I can't even remember when I was that weight) so I'm just thinking about losing but not reaching any number yet. I guess some of my goals feel superficial…

Thanks for coming up with the question Cassie! I'm not doing anything special like keto as I've done that so many times and the anxiety of doing low-carb is more than it's worth. I also have PCOS but I figure losing the weight in a healthy and not extreme way is better than another crash diet. I do try and focus on eating…

Hey y'all! I was so happy to find this message today as who can't use a little extra support. My name is Liz and I'm 30 and live in Virginia. I started actually tracking a couple of weeks ago and started at 355 and today I weighed in at 343.7 so that was exciting! I have a disease called Fabry disease which causes brain,…

From my past experience , I think having an eating disorder or disordered eating patterns can warp your opinion on what is extreme and what is not. When I was active in my ED and when I first recovered, I was so focused on how other people ate, how they dieted, how they tracked what they were eating and I felt like they…
