I am trying to figure out where I said either of those things. Someone said that you don't have to gain if you are overweight, and I said that is technically true, and pointed out that even though I was overweight, I gained what the Dr wanted. I said that it was correct that overweight people don't have to, but that I…

Goal weight is a problem for me. I lost so much with WW, and never got to goal. It was discouraging to say the least. Right now, i set my goal for like 10 lbs light than I am. Honestly, I think I would just be happy under 200.....which is a far cry from when I was gaining and hit 170-180. I swore I would never gain it…

This is true. Going slower will probably make it last longer. Getting pregnant threw a wrench it weight loss. I didn't really gain until my last trimester, when I just couldn't stop eating.

I just have to say.....people are being a lot more supportive these last couple of pages. This is how I remembered MFP.......

Thanks for this. I need a reminder sometime. I think that was the biggest problem with WW. I lost over 90 lbs in about 1 year. It was almost impossible to maintain. I lost 40 pounds over 2 years on MFP. I can't say if I would have gained it back or not if I didn't have a baby. I am still about 15 pounds lighter than my…

Thanks, because I am letting myself get way to worked up by that person.

That is true. The other poster, who knows nothing about me other than that I am fat and eating right and exercising and not losing weight (yes, because I need to eat less of the better- for- me foods), made statements about how much I care about my son. Did you care about your child less when you were heavy? Did you…

I apologize, but I think you read that totally wrong, or at least not as I intended. I was not trying to be critical of people who gain more in pregnancy. I was trying to make a point to the poster who basically said that fat people shouldn't gain pregnancy weight at all Typing sucks because people read tone of voice that…

I am actually ok with the harsh but true comments. I wish people might be a little kinder, but whatever. It is what it is. At least they were helpful. Some were just hurtful and not helpful at all. That is who I have the problem with.

Ok, Now I am officially offended by you. (and very angry-just saying that now since I am about to say some mean stuff). Did you actually read what I read? I eat healthy and exercise, but am not losing weight. I'm not gaining weight either. To basically say that I do not care about my son is a load of crap. SERIOUSLY, who…

Totally missed that before. I will check it out. One thing I noticed is that people latched on to my negative comment, but no one replied when I said I had lost 90+ lbs with WW 13 years ago or so. I gained that back plus some extra weight. I have the mind set of, "it doesn't matter anyway, because I will only gain it…

I see what you are saying. When I said I felt "fat and yucky," I meant that my clothes feel tight and stuff like that. Overall, my actual health is good. Being fairly healthy and feeling it are not the same thing though.

I felt there was a lot of negativity coming from a few posters. Most people had something to say about counting calories, and maybe even said it harshly, that is not who I was referring to. I was more bothered by the people who didn't add anything to the conversation but a sarcastic comment (because that is to helpful…

I meant continue exercising and eating right. Not that I didn't want to continue with life. :)

I am slightly offended that someone who actually imply that I don't care about my son. I am not just thinking of myself. If that was the case, I would be shoving myself full of nasty food all day long, and not exercising at all. One of the things I said in the start of this thread was that I am eating healthy and running,…

I guess I have a different idea of what nice and mean are. I think that some of the comments were unhelpful and unnecessary, and just mean. Some people just said it how it was, that is not who I was addressing that to. I was trying to direct that to a particular post, but didn't do the quote thing right. .

This can be true. Lucky for me, I gained the amount suggested for my weight. I didn't gain a ton like some people who gain 70 pounds while pregnant. I was actually pretty proud of that fact that I only gained what was considered an acceptable amount.

I'm not so fat that I am going to die anytime soon, but thanks for that assumption I guess. My cholesterol, triglycerides, sugar, etc are all extremely healthy.

I get the logging things, I really do. However, I ate a ton of low fat food to keep the calories low. I now know that low fat food is full of horrible crap. I want to avoid falling into the trap of low fat chemicals. It is disgusting what they have to do with food to make it low fat.

Thank you to those of you who had helpful things to say. I really just needed to express it. I lost 90+ pounds with WW about 12 years ago, and gained it back plus some. I guess that is when my mind set changed. After being so successful for so long, I got so discouraged that my whole mind set changed. I have a hard time…

I've been looking and haven't quite seen a twin: GW: 140-150 CW-244 SW-244 (253 at heaviest) HT-5'3" Age-33 Sex-female **Bonus-if you've lost a lot of weight before and gained it back (like me) and are worried about the same thing happening again...

I like to eat dry chocolate chex and cinnoman cereals (I mix them) or Reese's peanut butter cup cereal for a sweet fix

Hi-not sure if this was mentioned already, but I found that substitution worked best for me. Low fat ice cream instead of regular (put it in a small bowl and it feels like you're eating more), chex mix instead of chips, fiber one bars or brownies, Skinny Cow treats, fiber one and chocolate cookies..... This things might…
