I walked 2000 steps on Sunday and yesterday. 600 steps more than I could manage when I started. A little guy on my watch came up clapping and cheering. Too funny. 2000 steps almost killed me but I did it. I am so proud but it's not even a mile. I knew I was lazy and obese. Didn't know how bad it was until I decided to…

I got water in my eyes now. I want this to be true so badly.

I lost another 4 pounds. I am doing it. I found "Eating well" and I have cooked new dinners. Healthy, yummy, low calories. I am learning. 33 pounds less and nobody seems to notice. Still huge, still big but less. I have never been more aware of my weight and my size than now. I have never been angrier with myself than now…

29 Pounds down. This is exciting. My food log is not perfect but without extras. No more extra dressing. No more extra egg. No more extra sides. No more extra bread. No more extra cookies. No more extra gravy. No more extras of anything. One portion is all I can have. It's an adjustment. It's hard. I am used to overeating.…

Succeed!

More eggs, more meat, cheese snacks, burgers without buns, salads instead of potatoes.

Can I be honest? Be happy. You didn't gain any weight back. I don't know much about diets and weight loss but my guess would be your body is adjusting to less food and lesser calories.

I came up with my own diet slogan. "Starve the hamster, feed the goddess." I have been eating like a hamster. In me, there is a thinner woman begging to be found. I have smothered her with food. She deserves better. I remember her, she was active. I need to find her and treat her like a goddess. I owe her. I am tired of…

I am doing fine. Thank you so much for asking. Thank you for cheering for me. I am learning. I spent hours in the kitchen cutting up vegetables and fruits. I am ready for the week. No excuses to eat wrong or order in. The right stuff is waiting in the fridge. I didn't overeat this weekend. I stuck to my plan. Weekends are…

Are you serious? I make a post about not lecturing me and you post a novel about your thyroid problems and ask me to get mine tested? I have been overeating for years. Ate wrong and too much. I just did. Funny!

If I eat all the calories for breakfast, which has happened, then I fast for the rest of the day. If I have some calories left, then I find something that will fit in.

Love it. Will do.

Hugs and best wishes have 0 calories. Bring it on <3

What I take from this: I can fix my future. I will not fail but struggle occasionally. I am not alone. I will have to adjust my goals after a while. I need to be patient. I need to read more and learn as I go. I am changing my life. I have to get to the roots of my overeating. A little bit of anger is healthy fuel, too…

I was a bit chubby as child, an overweight teenager, an overweight adult. Made it into the 200 in my 30's, and into the 300 in my 50's.

All the comments are inspirational. So much motivation and wisdom. It's a fight for sure. A daily choice. Thanks to all of you.

I can't wait to fit into my bathtub. I can only imagine how happy you must have been. Contrats.

What a transformation. A long way to go for me. It's possible. Thank you for sharing your success.

I start to believe in myself. Babysteps. Thanks to all of you for being here.

I think I already found out all by myself. And (see my above post) I already named the reasons as well.

My weight is the judgment of my actions. I see clearly now who I am, that's why I am here. I am heavily overweight, morbidly obese, almost housebound due to my overeating. I am not much worth feeling sick and unhealthy, hardly able to move. I am a big woman who is unhappy with the way she feels. What made you think you…

I can't believe it. I have lost 14 pounds. I am so happy! It's working. 14 pounds in the first 19 days! That's the motivation I was hoping for.

Why can't you have it? My dietician, who I met for the first time last week made it clear to me that there is no bad food, just bad ways of cooking and eating. I had lasagne for dinner tonight. Cheese 700 calories and I almost licked the plate. I had cereals for breakfast and a subway salad for lunch. I stayed under my…

I have 175 pounds to lose. Starting weight 361 fifteen days ago. It seems all my friends are either much thinner or have already reached their goal. I would love to have more friends like me.

Well done! Fantastic, be proud of yourself.

Of course I need motivation. Who doesn't? Of course I would like to see success. Who doesn't? My mindset is fine, I am here. :-) I know what you mean, and you might be right, but I know how I work best. Motivation at the beginning will keep me going. Small setbacks won't distract me, but overall success is my motivation.…

So much good advice. Thanks. I will weigh in once a week. Every Friday morning before the weekend. Taking measurements sounds like a good idea. I am going to buy a soft measuring tape this weekend, also I will buy a new scale. If I can find a modern with a higher weight limit. I am still scared. I want the first weigh-in…

I can't tell you how much it means to read your replies. I am not alone with my questions. So much resonates with me. I need to get the 'bad food' thought out of my mind. I have done so much wrong for so many years. I don't even know where to begin. I haven't stepped on the scale since I signed up here. I am so afraid I…
