Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. It's such a big help :-) As far as the Celiac Disease group here on MPF, how do I join that? I'm still a little new, and I don't know how to join groups.

Thank you! I didn't even think of Trader Joe's, and there's one 35 mins away from me. I love corn chex. I actually have been meaning to pick up more, lol.

I just got diagnosed with celiac disease too.

You are such an inspiration! Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:

In high school, a guy once said I got uglier every year and since I'm very fat too, no one will want me. I cried for weeks because of what he said. D*uchebag.

LOL! Right? There is a ton of controversy when it comes to fitness instructors. No ones perfect. I don't see any harm in the JM videos, but I am firmly against taking supplements to lose weight.

I love greek yogurt. I been mixing some in with Oatmeal. Makes for a filling breakfast.

LOL!

Your body is in starvation mode. You need to eat more. The same thing happened to me, but, I ate more and did cardio. I ate back most of my calories.

Shawna Waldron from Poison Ivy: The Secret Society. She is the perfect size. She is average-thin. That's how I want to be, I don't want a six pack. I don't want to be fitness trainer cut.

I've never been in a relationship before...so I've always been single.

Thanks guys. Usually I work through being sick, but, my weekend job is very active, and I noticed on Sunday that the more active I got, the more I ended up with chest pains. At least if I do the exercising at home, I will be in a safe place. I just don't burn as much :-(

I have 19 more pounds to lose until I'm at my goal, and it's definitely getting harder to lose. I was losing 2 pounds a week up until now, and now it's only 1 pound a week. It gets harder the closer you get to goal, but, I'm not giving up.

I've hit one too. Keep exercising and eating right, and the plateau will go away. I hit one a few weeks ago and it went away. The worst thing you can do is give up.

I have the opposite problem. I photograph pretty well, but, when people see me in real life, they are disappointed.

I like both, but I like the Stones better

Girly, I'm in the same boat. The more weight I lose, the more men check me out. Very strange stuff in my life, LOL. Awesome success story! You go girl! :flowerforyou:

I am seriously addicted to the rush too, but, I find a rest day to be extremely important in weight loss. The body needs time to rest. I am always thinking about working out and obsessing over calories, and people get worried about me. I tell them, I wouldn't have this much success if I didn't hold myself accountable.

5'3" and my goal weight is 150. I might go lower than that, but, only to 145. I have a very large bone structure and I was told that I would look healthy at 150. I'm 169 right now...getting closer!

This is EXACTLY how I feel! I've spent over 20 years of my life obese, unhappy, and I was even bullied out of my HS 10 years ago. This journey has already changed my life, and I'm halfway through. I refuse to live up to society's version of perfection. I'm doing what is healthy for me, and if I'm healthy, I'm happy. That's…

Absolutely amazing! You look great! Very inspiring!:flowerforyou:

I been dumped because of being obese, and it's heartbreaking. The guys that dumped me were looking for a one night stand because they only seriously date smaller women. I think there are some men that like bigger women, but I think the majority of them want someone who is average and healthy, and with curves. I've lost…

My doctor told me diet and exercise, and I should try to get down to 150 and that I can't go lower than 145, because I have a large body frame.

Just had another NSV. I just tried on a size 11 shorts and they FIT! Just barely though LOL.

I have IBS as well. And for some reason, it's gotten worse since I started losing weight. I still can't figure it out. I thought I was lactose intolerant, so I cut out dairy for a few days, didn't help. I'm thinking about seeing my doctor because it's been like this for a month.

Pants almost fell down in the supermarket today...lol

Thank you :-)

Thank you :-)

smh! I fail at posting pics. I'm sorry guys :-( I did post the pics as my profile pic
