Oh its so hard, I just want to get sick when I look at them. I just can't understand that I see others on here who have lost like 10 or 15lbs and you can see a huge difference and drop like 3 jean sizes. I've lost about 25 and can't tell much difference and I am inbetween my size 24 and 22......oh its so frustrating. At…

I wouldn't hesitate to pay. I truely believe what goes around comes around. If you do the right thing, then good things will happen to you

Not too sure how they work, but I have found them cheaper on Ebay and Amazon, I want to get one eventually also. Good luck

had a nasty man start mooing at me in a bar, then he had most of the bar doing it after awile.

I am on phentermine and it really does help me to not be hungry at all. Since my habit is overeating and not when I am hungry, it has helped, but I cant use it for long. Hoping to use it til my gastric bypass surgery

i'm in. I have already started walking. Did about 40 minutes yesterday.

I know that tupperware make a nice salad bowl with a place for your fork and I believe your dressing. If not, I think that most walmarts have little tiny rubbermade cups that would work good for dressings

I think their minds are just on the moment and they are thinking about fishing and the other things that they like. Unless it is a skinny girl who walks in front of them, then they notice...loo

Sounds like a really good idea and you are getting it figured out...

This is just my opinion and most will disagree but I don't eat if I am not hungry. If I do, it will lead me to overeat and that is one problem that I am trying to cure. I guess I also try to do what my body says. If it is hungry I eat and if not I don't. May not have been much help, but that is just my thought

I dont think that anyone should judge someone else. We need to be supportive of everyone on here. We do not know everyones story and should not assume. I was on 1200 calories for a very long time and couldn't lose much, so I went to the bariatrics clinic and to my family doctor, they have put me on phentermine to keep me…

My 91 year old neighbor just brought over her homemade chicken salad, so I splurged tonight and had that...it was so good, but probably not the best thing to eat

I have absolutely no idea. My fiance normally cooks so hopefully he will come up with something. I will probably have yogert or cereal..blah

It has been that my experience with someone like that, that is one of the reasons that it has kept me on track is to prove to them that I can, and if it makes them mad, then oh well. It is especially upsetting when someone makes a "fat" joke about you, when they are just as big... Dont worry about those who are not…

I think you are right. I guess it just makes us feel bad since we think that they are the ones who should notice. Even if he loses 5 lbs, I know. I can tell when I put my arms around him. So I guess that is what makes me a litte upset. I find myself trying to look thinner so he will say something. I need to just realize…

Thanks, There are so many different theories about weight loss and everything that you could just go crazy trying to follow everything. I think it comes down to listening to our own bodies

I have been on here for a good while, and understand what everyone means, and why we need to eat back our calories, but I have heard for sooo long that in order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories then you take in. So that would defeat the purpose of losing weight, right?

Thank you all again for all the encouraging words. I have started to understand the 6month diet and have started to make some changes. I am really trying to eat slower, that is a huge problem that I have. My doctor also told me to start and chew my food up to applesauce consistancy. Both of those are very challenging for…

I googled it and found what my calories burnt was for my weight and the Time, and I added a new catagory for "misc". Didn't want to put any other word for it, guess I was trying to be a little discreaat

Getting on here everyday and trying to focus on all of you who have been able to do this and watch you alls success really helps me. I think that is does get me through. Thank you all

I am so sure that it is such a big ajustment to your body and it will take time to get used to all the changes...hang in there, I am sure it will get better...and talk to us..HUGS!!!

Thank you all for the encouraging words. I know I can do this, I just have to get through these hard days. I have lost before so I have to keep telling myself that I Can Do It Again.... So glad I have you all here to keep me focused.....a million thanks and tons of hugs!!!

thanks Mary. My depression is really kicking in right now also. I get so frustrated with this weight. I don't want to go anywhere anymore. I keep telling myself that I can do it because I have before, but just don't see how right now. I am so hoping that after surgery it will help me to keep it off this time. I know we…

All I know is that if I eat 1200 or more calories, I will gain. As of right now, I stop eating when I am full. If it is under the 1200 then so be it. If I continue to eat when I am full, then that will lead to overeating. Just like someone said. Listen to your body.

I was also weighing myself every day and getting so discouraged, but now I am only going to weight myself every two weeks (hopefully) Good luck

I had to stop working out because I was in soooo much pain. I walked for about 15 minutes today, did two minutes on my elliptical yesterday and I have one already... Thanks, i;m glad you posted this because I really thought that it was just me that got them

Thats how mine are, painful painful painful. And they leave scars. So if I wear sleeveless shirts you can see them on my underarms and people just stare at them,

I get painful zits on my stomach area if I workout or sweat. There is nothing that I have found that helps it. The doctor put me on antibiotics, but it didn't help any. I do try and scrub them with the golden dial soap or any antibacterial soap...Are yours painful?

I am also going to use this 6 months to prepare and try and lose as much as possible before surgery so that will be less after. I was afraid to lose too much because I don't want them to deny me for losing it on my own. I don't have trouble losing, its keeping it off. I am also using this time to get all the appointments…

Such an inspiration, great job!!!
