I have been overweight (obese) all my life. I probably weigh less now than I did in high school. My problem is when I look in the mirror I have no reference to how I look now; but my brain has moved away from what all the obese picture show. I have a hard time remembering what 350 was like. So I have a hard time relating…

Well since your arm didn't move the tatoo did. Nice job! Keep up the good work. That was fun.

Thank you for your compliments, but a picture taken by oneself in a mirror (opposite of me) with a cell phone will create the allusion that the tattoo has jumped to the other side of my body. :bigsmile: I challenge you to put a sticker on your shirt on the right side, have someone take a picture of you face on, then you…

well, the ones facing you are taken by someone else and the ones on the opposite side were taken by myself with my cell phone in a mirror.... trust me, ALL me. There are plenty more on my FB and BB pages. I don't know how to use or believe in Photoshop. Not trying to start anything because your results are fantastic: but a…

Very nice results, you look great. How did you accomplish the moving tatoo?

Good Luck to you. When I started I was right where you were. I started at 322lbs got down to 210lbs and now through strength training am up to 218lbs, but smaller than ever. You are doing it the right way, making good choices. Read labels, watch the sodium and most important you portion sizes. The portion size will become…

Why plan to fail? If you have a slip up deal with It. If you feel your food plan needs cheat days and slip up meals; it is probably to restrictive. IMHO you need to eat whatever you like in MODERATION.

I agree with you completely. Not only the doctor, but almost everyone that works there. When I was 322 lbs, there was no comment about my weight and walking past there lunch room I saw 6 boxes of Dunkin Donuts. I switched doctors to the thinnest one in the practice and when I started to lose weight I would no even let them…

Lighten up, Francis!

I'm 6' 2" 58 years old. I started at 322 now 212. Maintaining for the past year. Now working hard to shape up. Good Luck all. It can be done!

Weight loss is hard. I lost 110lbs over the course of a year and when I started I had no plans on doing such; but when I weigh myself the first time I had lost 4 lbs and something clicked in my mind that I was not going to give those pounds back. Get over the fact that you are on a diet and aim your efforts to create a new…

I started at 322lbs on 1/11/10 which was probably 30lbs below my highest and on 1/22/11 my doctor said I was at a perfect weight of 222lbs with a range of 200 - 225. Today I'm at 214lbs. You can do it! I'm living proof.

I was checked out a few years ago because while having a medical procedure my RHR was 29. My cardiologist did a whole battery of tests including a stress test. Everything came back perfect and I was told that not everything can be explained, but I was in no danger. Now after losing 110lbs, everytime I donate blood my RHR…

How old were you when you got engaged? 29 How long had you been together before getting engaged? 6 months How old were you when you got married? 29 Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Yes 29 years and our anniversary is today! Happy Anninversary Sue, I love you!

Hey fellow maintainers. Long time lurker, first time poster. I been following this thread for quite some time. I lost 110 lbs over the course of a year in 2010. I have been on maintenance (in my dr's opinion) for over a year. I have only come to this realization myself recently. I guess since I have lost weight before but…

If you weigh every day you are going to get days when your weight goes up for no reason. Try and focus on the general pattern. Your going down so keep up the good work!
