The same thing happened to me. I lost a total of 13 pounds, then I started gaining back the weight (poor diet again). So I slowly starting being MIA from this site, thinking I was a failure etc. So then I fell "off the wagon," so to speak, and now I am back again and I have lost a total of 7 pounds. So my advice is to plow…

I want to lose 100 pounds. I thought about surgery, but I know now that it is not for me. I have been here before, but stopped coming. Now I am back again, going for it one more time. I can relate to some of your struggle....I would love to be your friend on here and encourage each other. Friend request sent :)

Holy Crap...you are an inspiration!

Soooo should I eat everything, but just in smaller portions? I am really lose here, cause I try and try to lose weight but always fail.

I want to lose 100 pounds too.... :)

I just want to thank everyone who has commented on this thread and taken the time to give me advice. My inbox is also flooded with messages from people who care and only want the best for me. I appreciate everyone's answered..I really do. I read through them all and have a lot to think about. I promise to you all (and…

I guess I still feel that the weight gain is not my fault......I blame it on the medications. So that is why I feel the surgery is for me. My story is a little different. I was taking very strong meds for a while to balance me out.

My weight gain was not because of emtional eating. I have been on meds (anti-depressant and anti-anxiety) for a very long time...years. So that is what caused the major major weight gain the past few years. The meds will kill you if you do not try to do something about it. On one hand they help me with my mood, on the…

Yes the classes are for maintaining weight loss, and also an evaluation, psych evaluation, etc etc etc. All these things to make sure you are qualified. I understand that I need to change my eating habits and fitness habits......but like I said, losing 100 pounds is overwhelming. It is like I need a jump start of some…

There are some requirements that must be met. For example......you have to be at LEAST 100 pounds over weight. Which I am since I am only 5'2 and weigh about 230. Your BMI has to be at least 40, and mine is 42. You also have to have some issues or problems to your health in order to be considered...well I have high…

Hi...I would love to be friends with you!

Hi! I would love to join you and lose 40 pounds with you. I want to lose more, but I have to take it one step at a time. Small goals first. I will request your friendship!

You look amazing! I also started out at about 230ish and have only lose 12 pounds, I also started about 2 months ago. I am soooooooooo happy for you and hope that some of your dedication and perseverance flows to me because I need it! You are doing great, And you are right, when you hit 170, there is a big difference. How…

Thank you TheAquaLlama! Funny thing is my ex used to be in love with Amy Lee (probably still is) and so now I think maybe he dated me becasue of that? Who knows....

Awesome job!

Hi! So nice to meet you. I would love to be your friend...you will find that the people here on MFP are amazing and I know you will enjoy this journey. Add me (:

I cannot wait till its is me that has lost 20 pounds! What a great accomplishment...keep going, you can do it!

I guess I am a little early and should worry about it when I cross that bridge......It's just that I KNOW this is it. This time, is it. I will get there and I cannot wait. Thank you all for your good advice and kind words.

I am trying this too. I mean I walk here and there, but I do not go to the gym per se. I only lost 6 pounds so far..so I dont know if I qualify as a voice of reason here. I have been doing this for only a week, so I am a newbie. Hopefully I wont have to exercise a lot, becasue it makes me so hungry.

I am going to take a whooooooole lota pictures. I hardly ever take pictures now...so I cannot wait! I am also going to start dating again. Being overweight has stolen my confidence in this department.

Hi Sister, Glad you joined...we can do this together..we have all the tools here, just need the will and the discipline.

I am in the same boat as you....I have it set for 1200 calories (I also sit all day) and I am averaging about 1,000-1200 calories per day. I do not feel hungry, and am losing weight too. I am just not as hungry....(but that could be because I am taking this formula with fiber in it to fill me up). Anyway...I am right with…

Nice to meet you, I am new here too...lets be friends!

You were right...we are the same. My goal is exactly what your goal is. I always start off strong, but fall off the wagon so to speak....gotta keep trying though, because we never fail unless we quit. So even if we just pluck along, at least we are trying. I know this is not going to be easy at all. Losing weight IS the…

TDM...we are friends now. Seriously, you all here are blowing my mind with your willingness to help and support me. I hope to return the favor to you all, and together we can all encourage and motivate one another.....

NSImportant, I like your suggestions, thank you so much for them! I am a vegatarian though, so the meat on is out of the questions, but I thought your other suggestions were great. Lets see if I can apply them in real life. That is the hardest part of course. We all KNOW what to do, but its about doing it.

Alejandra, I am a member of Curves too! So awesome about your success.....keep it up, very proud of you.
