every morning- after my shower- I dont know why but my shower washed a pound and change off of me... but I only count my weigh ins on fridays. I am trying to only weigh in every other friday now- but I weigh daily to remind myself why I am doing this...

I'm not sure I would want to know- although I would appreciate th heads up bc I might do more things in my life before it strikes. But who would want to live every day knowing it was coming down the road...

I have a different sort of vibration device.... didnt think I burned calories with it tho...

So two things- dont worry about what happens at the end- your body wil change alot during this process- and in the end- you're going to be healthier and who knows how your body will surprise and thank you for it... second thing.. we have a group called AWESOME IN CAPS.. you really should join it... I think you'd fit in…

Honey, please done beat yourself up- it only makes you feel worse at a time you need to feel better. Youre sick- your body needs to rest and get better- so let it. I know you have a goal for Christmas- but will it really be worth prolonging your sickness- and compromising your long term success by trying to force your poor…

Thats what I was looking for- THANK YOU!!! It came from here-- http://anattemptathumor.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/scales-like-hips-dont-lie/

there was a post on here somewhere- that I stumbled on - that shows this sort of thing- a bag of sugar is five pounds, etc- to give a real visual to the pounds lost- bc I think it helps. When you think about 5 pounds, it may not seem like alot- but when you think about a five pound bag of sugar no longer carried around…

this made me laugh really hard- thank you

Ojell has a ridiculously cool profile picture!!

So there is a very good reason I'm not married- and here it is... Save the money on his donuts, ice cream etc and use it for your turkey!! problem solved... ;) But seriously- I'm sure its hard to try to be healthy when he isnt eating well- but you can control what comes in the door- and try to cease buying that stuff- in…

Does the site motivate? no- its just a website... ;) but the people here are AMAZING!!! Its definitely one of those things where you get what you put into it. The tools are great- logging your food, taking your measurements, weighing in at your determined intervals, getting involved in groups- adding friends, it- builds a…

I have no answers but I hope you ask more questions bc I enjoy seeing the pic on your profile. Oh that was the wrong thing to say- what I meant to say was yes, I have the answers to all this and more... perhaps we can discuss over a martini... hahahaahha sorry- I couldnt help myself. I'm a creeeeep.....

hells yes- I referee for a roller derby league- and its a major work out- MAJOR work out- its great for your legs- and butt, and its alot fo fun

omg- I'm at work cracking up at this post - Thank you!! I'm still not convinced I'm not going to marry John Taylor....

I weight myself every morning- to remind myself why I am doing this every day- but only "weigh in " once a week- and thats fridays. I have thought about going to a monthly weigh in- but havent decided on that yet.

ditto- you know your intentions are true- but for someone she just met- there is very little reason to think she will understand how sincere your intentions are, and wil likely be painful for her. I'd be willing to bet she knows she is overweight- and is choosing to not address it. But you can talk about your weight loss…

it was bonkers earlier- but now i'm blaring a little toots and the maytals and enjoying a quiet office!!

You look GORGEOUS! Fantastic smile!!

Well since you asked.... Stop beating yourself up. That gets you no where good or positive. Forgive yourself for whatever happened yesterday and start fresh. Every day. Todays a great day to start over- isnt it? Not sure how much you have to lose- but start with 5 pounds. And work on that goal. Try not to look beyond that-…

I agree completely with this- I think when we feel badly about ourselves- its projected to the people we encounter- and when we feel good about ourselves- that projects as well.

i have a very convincing arguement for chocolate is a salad....

well done!! I think people- especially co workers may be cautious about saying anything in case you're sensitive about it. But you look great.

So. How has being angry with yourself helped your situation? I would bet it hasn't- so how about you cut that out- and give yourself some slack. Would you be angry with a friend for having to lose 50 pounds? a random stranger? a loved one? probably not- so wtf are you treating yourself worse than you'd treat a stranger.…

please go take a bubble bath- or get a pedicure- you have made such amazing progress- and really need to not beat yourself up for feeling like taking a mental health day- we do it at work and school. You deserve to do some nice stuff for yourself that isnt going to sabotage your progress. you tube videos of baby aimals-…

OMG- definetly. I also read your other post- and wanted to point out something. You have lost 92 pounds. The average ten year old weighs about 95 pounds. So when you are ever doubing yourself again- think about that- that ten year old justin bieber fan you've been carrying around- GONE!! I know its hard- and so slow- but…

thats what we are here for...awww.. ;) I have found that most food places have nutrition info on their websites- or that some wonderful calorie counter put one together. The best plan is to look before you go, walk in with a meal already built within your calorie range and do not deviate. You can eat at places like panera,…

I'm so glad to see your post bc it reminded me of this : http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-3153/Hilarious-Yoga-Mat-for-Sale-Ad-on-Craigslist.html which makes me cry with laughter every time I read it. Which I consider ab work- so thanks for the work out! ;)

Build one before you go- - http://www.subway.com/Menu/MenuCategoryItems.aspx?CC=USA&LC=ENG&MenuTypeId=1&MenuId=35 They have a really handy calorie/ nutrition thingy on their site- you start off w their pre fab sandwich- and you add/delete as desired- its really helpful.

I mean I lay in bed and feel like I have rocks in my tummy- i dont sleep well when I eat later at night- and for me, personally, i regret it each time.

So... I have a friend who does the same- when I dont answer he calls and calls and calls and then blows up my phone w texts. I have learned its not me, its just him, he is assuming I dont hear the phone ringing, which I never do- but thats besides the point, and it used to drive me nuts too. Its sort of about training -…
