Welcome :flowerforyou: Way to go on taking the first step :heart:

The very first thing I did was cut out the Dr. Pepper and the sweet tea. That was all I would drink. Now it's just water and everything else is too sweet for me. The second thing was learning to control my portion sizes, and telling myself you don't have to clean your plate. I started walking for 10 or 15 minutes a day,…

Oh my gosh! That is truly amazing :heart:

The French Onion is my favorite :bigsmile: :heart:

I vote for Laughing cow and crackers :heart: Super yummy!

This sounds so yummy :heart: I have lots of eggplants growing in my garden this year :bigsmile:

I confess I ate extra rice after dinner tonight :heart: My husband looked at me kinda weird and I told him it didn't count unless I measured it :bigsmile: But it does...:grumble:

Bump :bigsmile:

This is so true :flowerforyou: It makes you realize that your life is worth the struggle :heart:

Wow! This is some great stuff :heart: Everyone on here gives me inspiration to keep trying each and everyday :bigsmile: Your all awesome :flowerforyou:

Way to go!!:bigsmile: My first ten pounds were the hardest for me too. Just keep at it, and as you get stronger it does get easier. :flowerforyou:

When you lay on your stomach and can barely see your butt, instead of not being able to see over your butt :laugh: :bigsmile:

Way to go!!:bigsmile: Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

It really got to me when they were all sitting in the theater watching them selves 15 weeks ago and then now :sad: I cried. I can't wait until I have that moment of "wow look how far i've come". :bigsmile: I hope either Kristen or Mike wins. The smaller he is the cuter he gets...just sayin. :laugh:

:laugh: I can't say that surprises me...

I missed like the last 30 minutes. :grumble: Who got voted off? :huh:

Finally someone said it! Good for you! :drinker:

My 6 year old son goes to yard sales and flea markets with my mom every saturday. Well today when he came home and was showing me all the great stuff he found he tells me "guess what mom I got you something to help you exercise and lose more weight". I could tell he was just so excited about getting something to help me…

Way to go! That is so awesome! :bigsmile:

Thank you all so much for your kind words:heart: I really am so very proud of myself :bigsmile: I know I can always count on the ppl here to understand how hard this has been :flowerforyou: I think I may cry :cry: Thanks so much!

About 4 years ago I walked into my doctors office and stepped on the scale..it said I weighed 311 lbs. I was heart broken and burst into tears. The doctor actually recommended gastric bypass surgery, but I couldn't even consider that. In my mind that was way to risky. I was such a disappointment to myself and all I could…

Don't get me wrong I'm so glad the padding is gone :bigsmile: I guess it's just another sign I'm doing something right huh? :blushing: Sometimes though it even hurts when I'm just laying on the bed watching t.v :huh: So it's soft surfaces too. I don't know maybe I should talk to someone if it gets to much worse. :ohwell:…

Ok I know that sounds funny :laugh: But I really do have a question for you guys, and I know I can't be the only one with this problem. I have lost a large amount of my weight from my behind and legs.:ohwell: I've noticed lately that my tail bone hurts me really bad every time I sit down longer then a minute or…

I am so sorry FC. Hearing that ppl have been ugly to you really breaks my heart :brokenheart: You are the kindest, most supportive person. :love: I haven't been on here very long, but I know I can always look for your advise when I have no clue which direction to turn. Plus you always have the best recipes :wink: We get…

I'm not sure if there is a scientific connection :huh: I completely cut sugar out 2 months ago :smile: and now if I have anything thing with alot of sugar in it a get a horrible head ache for days :mad: I also noticed I get really sick to my stomach too. :sick:

Ok so it looks like an Elliptical maybe my best bet :smile: Thanks everybody for your input :heart: I'm completely clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff :huh:

That is so great! :bigsmile: Keep it up!:heart:

Thanks everyone for your suggestions :heart:

Ok so I should be getting my tax return back soon :happy: When I get it I want to buy something to do cardio on (bike, treadmill etc.) that will help me burn a good amount of calories on. So my question for all you fine people is what would be the best thing for me to get? Keep in mind that I still have like 147 more lbs.…
