don't get the previous post so jumping back sauce pan

I had a college professor once make a statement that stuck with me about how "rude" has become the socially acceptable norm. On a forum this size you're bound to run into this. And while some people just don't care if they are rude and in fact feed on the drama, others don't even realize how they are coming across but will…

LOL

all I can say to that is OW! Anyway my stubborn used to insist he would only wear regular boxers. Even after he put on some weight and they got uncomfortable or he'd rip them he still fought me. So it took me years but I finally got my husband to try boxer briefs and now he won't wear anything else.

I also am severely overweight and have been my entire life. So not to be funny and I'm not saying that your advice isn't valid, but I think you're not understanding it from her perspective. If you're friend is very overweight and has been for a while, her mindset is in a completely different place. She may really want to…

I've seen alot of the things already posted. I think the worse cast of somebody reading a paper was this woman who had the grocery ads spread across her steering will and had a marker out at the same time. I was half expecting her to start clipping coupons any second. But the funniest thing I remember seeing, I was a kid…

I've only been back to this site a few weeks and I've noticed some heavy handed moderating. Besides this threads being completely removed instead of just locked. According to my other friends this isn't the normal atmosphere here so wondering if they have a new mod or one is suffering burn out? Anyway I felt strongly…

If I'd only read the story I would have said it would be reasonable to believe she didn't put her daughter in the tanning bed. Seeing her mom go all the time, a child that age could make it up that they'd gone after getting a sunburn. But the problem is after looking at her everyone believes she did it because anyone…

I'm laid off at the moment but I've worked midnight shift for so many years I swear my internal clock is broke, lol. Making sure I ate, slept and had a pretty consistant routine as best I could helped alot, and my husband was pretty supportive if he wasn't also working nights. I completely agree with you on the working out…

And sorry if I repeated anyone, when I was writing my post nobody had posted yet, lol.

Really whatever method you choose, it all comes down to keeping track of the food you eat. Neither method is wrong, it's just about preference. I do think WW is appealing because there alot of the work is done for you to get you started. You give them your info and they hand you back the tools and the point range you're…

With that "hello from scotland" I'm sure you're goin to get a ton of responses, lol. But yay I get to be one of the first! I also have alot to lose and am done with the dieting. I'm making life changes right now and the weight is one of them. Friend request incoming :)

I'll be 38 in 8 days. But this is the second year I've been 37, lol. Silly I know but somewhere going through one of life's rough patches, I got it in my head I was 37 for a good portion of the year that I was 36. When I figured it out I was pretty ticked at mentally aging myself a year, lol.

I agree with some of the previous posters on just not talking about it except with those you know you can trust. Unfortunately sometimes people you think you can talk to will surprise you, and just because you don't talk about it doesn't mean somebody else won't bring it up. But what you can say back to these people really…

Being a gamer too I thought the same thing, lol. But whenever I see something I know I have to go google :X If I'm understanding its just the word used for fats, proteins, sugars and carbs? Anyway I'm pretty new to the site and always used another site to log my food but after Em's comment on comparing to MFP I had to go…

This is just me personally but if I don't eat all my calories one day on accident because I wasn't hungry, I don't worry about it. I usually end up having a day somewhere in the week where I'm super hungry and go over a bit that makes up for it and it seems to average out. As far as just eating bananas or crackers, the…

Just my thoughts but every weight loss doctor I've seen always seems to do a 1200 or 1400 calorie diet. But when I've successfully lost weight I always did better by using harris benedicts equation and going under that but not going under my BMR. I actually lost more pounds per week than I should have by eating more food…

I can relate only too well to being able to need to lose the weight now in order to feel better and not be in pain. Sending you a friend invite :) p.s. I live in Ohio too

Wow, not that there's ever a good time for that but sorry it happened right in the middle of you're trying to finish school. I need to lose weight for my health also and would love to have you as a new buddy :) friend request incoming

I'm not a nurse but I've worked as a care giver in some aspect or other since my early 20s. I've been working with people with disabilities for the last 15 years. But taking care of everyone around me even outside of work to the point of putting myself on the back burner is almost second nature. I guess I feel selfish if I…

I had to google to see what an ice block is and I'm still not sure.....is that just another name for everything not ice cream? One site showed everything right down to popsicles, but then I also found SkinnyCow has something called an iceblock but I've never seen them here in the states.

Wow you do not look 35. I used to live in Redding, a few hours north of you but now I live in Ohio because of my hubby being from here. Don't be discouraged by the scale. Like you already said its common to be still making progress and have the numbers still not show there. Maybe it's time to take measurements and pictures…

Jillian, love your screenname "jillybean" :D Wait....do they still call it a screen name or did I just date myself back out of AOL days? nuuuuu. I saw your inspirations on your profile...I too would love to be able to do alot of things without being winded.....stair climbing being the least of those atm, lol. And riding…

There's alot of things you can do to help. I'm not sure how keen on this you'd be but before I was laid off I started taking my own food to work. I did alot of pre-planning and then some freezer cooking so it was done ahead. I not only saved money but there were tons of times my coworkers would be sitting there with their…

I had a bunch of really nice people msg me and let me know....and I feel silly for not knowing that because it seems so obvious now. But thats nothing new :)

I can't even picture myself being 110 lbs but that is my ideal weight putting me at needing to lose 228lbs. Right now if I could even lose 100lbs I'd be ecstatic. But yea, not to be mean but I tend to shy away from people who only have like 15lbs to lose. As far as binge eating, when I was still living at home was when I…
