I think it depends on how much you have to lose. When I started with a little under 150 to lose it seemed like sooooo far away. So I set little goals for myself, like losing 10% of my weight. Having to lose 32 lbs. was a good starter. Then after that I hit that goal I found that I was only about 18 away from being in the…

There's people who want to bring you down. Who knows why, be it because they are jealous or they just thrive on negativity. Recently someone was asking me how long I've been dieting and how much I've lost. As soon as I said I started March 1st and I've lost 60 lbs., it started. "You know people who loose weight too fast…

I made it to my first mini goal! I'm officially Obese and no longer Morbidly Obese!!!! Next mini goal, to be closer to 200 than 300. 18 lbs til 249. I can do this!

Last check in weight: 277.6 (5/29) Current weight: 268.2 (6/11....9.4 lbs down!) This week I officially reached my first goal of getting out of the Morbidly Obese BMI catergory!!! I'm officially just "Obese!" Total loss since starting: 59.5 lbs! (Also I feel I should mention I suck at checking in every week so mine is…

1. How freaking weird, yet refreshing it feels when people start calling you things like "little lady" and "skinny mini." Knowing darn well you are still pretty big and people who don't know you are probably confused as to why people are calling you that. LOL 2. How active you become. Before I started, I would get home…

I want one of those sappy candid family photo shoots, dang it. You see all these families with their fall or beach photos laughing and playing with each other. All I've ever thought was, yeah, how unflattering would those pictures look? Me sitting down in a field and the photographer taking a shot of me from the side with…

Feel free to add me! My PCOS story is on my profile. Lost all my weight about 8 years ago now and bam, got pregnant. Now I have a 7 year old lol I gained it all back plus some during that pregnancy. Over the years I kept gaining and tried a ton of fertility treatments that didn't work, but magically somehow despite not…

My doctor told me to stop exercising so much! She said with PCOS walking/exercising for long periods of time was counterproductive. She said to stick with 20-25 minute walks/workouts. I cut it back to a 20 minute walk in the evening and the weight started falling off! I pick up the pace and find that I'm now going farther…

It's that can’t eat, can’t sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of stuff...

I swear my mom is the worst at this. She always insists I eat something else, or at least have a snack. I know deep down it's just because she's worried that I'm not eating enough or that I'm starving myself. (Because to her that must be the only way I've lost 50lbs already lol) Despite me telling her I have a calorie goal…

Apple slices and peanut butter is my favorite fruit snack!

Luckily after loosing 50 lbs I don't have it anymore, but I hated having swollen ankles/legs every day. You could literally push in on the top of my shin bone and make an indent. Like freaking play-doh legs.

So I need to tell a story in order to get to my petty reason. I used to work on this unit at the hospital, worked there for a solid 7 years or so. I distinctively remember this one time a there was free lunch for the holidays down in the conference room. I told the charge nurse I was going to run down while it was slow and…

All I've ever found from drastically cutting anything out of my diet was that I ended up starving and tired! I'd get sick of it after a few days and just eat everything in sight. This time the only major thing I cut out was my pop (soda/coke/what have you.) I started March 1st with 147 lbs. to loose. As of today, I'm down…

I started with 147 to loose, down 50lbs as of today! Feel free to add me!

Welcome! I started with 147lbs to loose and as of today I'm down 50lbs! Now I have less than 100 to go!!! Don't let that big number scare you, it get smaller everyday. =) Feel free to add me!

7.6 lbs away from being Obese instead of Morbidly Obese!!!

I never realized how much my eating/exercise habits influenced my family. Since I started the healthy lifestyle my 7 year old has started ordering water (like mommy) when we go out to eat instead of her usual chocolate milk. Around the house she'll drink water and ask if her snack is a "healthy choice." My husband and kids…

Last check in weight: 284.4 (5/14) Current weight: 277.6 (5/29....6.8 lbs down again!) Only 49.9 lbs away from meeting my 100lb goal!!!!

I never get the "why are you starving yourself" but I do get the "Oh get a piece of cheesecake! Oh wait, your on a diet right?" or the "Just get a smaller slice of pizza! You'll be fine." LOL They mean well, but it's definitely not easy being the one on the diet. If I know what they are going to be having I can usually…

327, I'm 5'9. My goal is around 160-180. I'm 283 currently.

My 5 week projected weight loss. (Even if there's no way that's correct lol)

Fellow PCOS girl here. I was wondering if you take anything for your PCOS? Birth control/metformin etc. I have found that birth control really mellows my hormones and has aided in my weight loss. I match my carbs with my proteins and usually stay around 80-100 of each per day. My max calories are usually 1400 and normally…

I feel you girl! I'm one of those people who loves to eat out because of the pure convenience. I still have fast food at least a few times a week. They key is making smarter choices. At McDonalds I'll get a grilled chicken wrap, a fruit and yogurt parfait and a water.. or at Wendy's I'll have a double cheeseburger (extra…

Yes. Went to get a pregnant women's partner from the waiting room, saw him, said, "Sir, you can come back to see your wife now".. spoiler alert: He was not a sir... Have you ever met someone you thought could be your soulmate? (But either you or them are already married/in a long term relationship)

Update!!! Last check in weight:291.2 (5/1/18) Current weight: 284.4 (5/14/18....6.8 lbs down!!!!) There's no stopping me :) :) :)
