Pasta all the way. WYR exercise in the morning or in the evening?

@Terytha So proud of you that you've hit under the 200lb. mark! I think for many of us 200+ pounders, it's a goal that we sometimes feel is unachievable. Congrats and I hope you hit 185 by the end of June!

@pamiede You are just such a lovely, beautiful spirit! Your entire post made me grin from ear to ear. @BrownSugar174 Currently I’m trying my best to love myself while trying to get out of a toxic relationship (stuck due to finances). I consider just the simple fact that I have stronger boundaries and no longer tolerate his…

When I was your age I had the same issue. I’m 40 now and haven’t had kids and still have the breasts that resemble “two grapefruits in tube socks.” I’ve gone through my entire life being obese for the most part, with some moments of weight loss peppered in between. All I can tell you from similar experience and frustration…

I think the main dealbreaker for me is if they lack respect for me, thus unable to communicate effectively in the relationship and treat me as an equal. I’ve found individuals who are incapable of this usually cannot be truly intimate and form any real connection, and are prone to being very abusive.

Yesterday was my first day and I am proud of how I handled it. Normally I always do this crazy song and dance where I try to find an excuse as to why “I’ll start tomorrow for real... so for now let me have one last binge on x,y,z....” The fact that I resisted and didn’t go eat something beyond my calories is amazing. I’m…

Couch. I’m so heavy in my midsection at the moment, that sitting on a hard chair is not as comfortable because I lean forward so much. WYR be reborn in a man’s body or a woman’s body?

This is so true! Every time I'd tell myself I don't want to exercise, I immediately correct myself and say, "The fact that I don't want to exercise right now, means that I definitely should exercise right now." Afterwards, I always feel better. Never a time I've said, "Oh, I regret doing all that exercise now. I should…

Haha! True. But I'm wondering if metabolism and hormones play into it at all, too. Do you think so? For instance, those with Type 2 Diabetes. Would they follow their BMR? Or would the doctor most likely suggest for them to go lower calorie-wise?

Spa Never be able to eat fruit again or never be able to eat vegetables again?

Yes! I'll add another one to my list: to wear jeans again! Not that I ever really looked good in them before, but never could feel comfortable in pants due to my non-existent waistline and belly. I'd love to have a somewhat flattened belly and be able to wear pants and not be forced to only shop for skirts with elastic…

Scotland. Too lazy to learn French! Ocean or Swimming Pool?

Yes. I am logging all my data and making sure to scrutinize my micros as well. Very important for me. I find that when I'm lacking in certain nutrients, I tend to binge more.

@pamiede CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That's amazing!

I've already mentioned my grief in another thread, but this morning I finally bravely stepped onto the scale and took my measurements, as well as pictures. Long story short, I am so glad I have decided to finally get serious about this. My weight has gone up almost all the way back to my heaviest, which is sad. I was…

White hair... although my eyebrows are a bit wonky, so it's a toss up, really. Never be able to watch TV's/movies/etc. ever again, or never be able to listen to any kind of music ever again?

... not having my eyebrow game on fleek.

Okay, so I weighed myself officially today and took measurements, as well as pictures. So I'm going to add another petty reason to my listed from yesterday: I don't want to look 20 months pregnant any longer. :D I mean, I know that's how I look... it wasn't a shock, per se. But since we're practically Amish here and don't…

Just like one little mistake doesn’t define an entire person and all the good they’ve done in their life, the same applies to health. You are not bad or did anything wrong because you had a day of indulgence. You caught yourself and that’s what counts. Good job! Now get back on track and keep looking ahead and be proud of…

Please invite me! Thanks.

Wise approach. Thanks!

Exactly! :smile: I don't have a specific number set in mind, although I'd like to lose at least 40, which I think is reasonable if I stick to things (i.e. I have at least 100 lbs. to lose, so 40 lbs. would come off easily within 6+ month's time for me). Anything more than that would be icing on the (very small portion of)…

Yes! Thank you. That's why I'm going to make sure to keep coming back here. Great place to keep the motivation going and push myself to succeed. Oh, my OCD nightmare! One of the reasons I tend to shy away from making recipes while counting calories: always afraid it's not accurate enough. @lbostic89 That's so awesome!…

Ugh... either place has bugs. I'll have to go with the motel. WYR be the first one to initiate a kiss, or have someone kiss you first?
