  • I feel your pain. I've been the biggest one of my friends ALWAYS. And I don't want to be anymore. You have the right attitude. Do it in a healthy way, a real life change that's doable, not in a crazy starving exercise every minute way. Don't feel guilty about time spent on yourself. Making yourself healthy is also for your…
    in I hate being the largest person I know Comment by SusanDoesIt June 2012
  • That's the hardest part for me....trying to figure out what will work. It used to be I'd lose 5-6 pounds the first week, at least 12 the first month when I was younger. Not anymore. I have painstakingly earned every ounce down, while any misstep adds 2-3 lbs that take a couple of weeks to get back off. No sense in giving…

  • Sidesteal, you are seriously disturbed. In a very good way, of course.

  • It does indeed sound like your friend has an alcohol issue. (By the way, I've only lost 20 lbs in 6 months...but it's better than gaining, now isn't it???). As the others have said, it's definitely her issue. But in order to remain friends, you need to be honest with her and tell her that she needs to stop trying to…

  • Laurie - you and I weigh about the same. My weight has been up and down and up and down, and I went 5 whole weeks without losing an ounce. Here's what I'd suggest. Look at the makeup of your daily eating. I managed to get my scale moving again by cutting down on carbs...not crazy, no-carb foolishness, but around 100-120g a…

  • Of course I had to read it when you said it was too graphic...humans are weird creatures. Kudos for sharing! Having come from the Hugh Jass family myself, I can relate! Congrats!

  • I did everything right and gained 3 lbs this week from it. What really gets me is that I never seem to make it up...I may just get back to where I was next week. So I LOST a week of loss?? WTH??? How is that even possible? Very frustrating.
    in Pre-menstrual weight gain? Comment by SusanDoesIt February 2012
  • You hit the nail right on the head. Get the calories under control, treat yourself occasionally, work in as many healthy foods as you can. Seriously, I don't want to eat ANYTHING I don't like. I like salads, but not morning, noon and night. I like some fruits, I like some veggies (asparagus on the grill tonight!). So I mix…
    in Yes. You CAN eat 'normal' food! (my rant.) Comment by SusanDoesIt February 2012
  • I agree that NOT eating them would definitely set me up for failure. If it's working...if you're losing weight and exercising regularly, there's no need to change a thing. I eat 'em ALL most days! :D

  • Who's driving that dang wagon anyway, and can't they strap us in??? Seriously, too many times to count have I just stopped the good habits, and oh so quickly eaten my way back up to the top. What's motivating me now, is knowing that I've been unsuccessful (10 lbs here or there) over the past two years, and I am VERY…
