I did this last year when I first signed up. I wanted to know exactly what I was eating a day so for 3 days I logged my "normal" foods. I was eating well over 3000 calories and was still hungry. Didn't take long to see a problem. Those were 3 work days. That doesn't even count a weekend where we would be eating out.…

Thanks for all the kind words everybody. I'm glad I can inspire, encourage and support all of you in your own quest to change. It's not an easy road and there are always things to lead us astray but we will always have each other to lean on.

Keep up the good work!

Don't give up. We all have days, weeks and months like that. I say months because it took me almost 2 to get straightened back out. Just take today and start over. You'll be fine. Don't let a couple of bad days rule your life. We all have them and in the end you just have to forget it and move on. Good luck to you.

Wow is all I can say! I just read your blog and what a journey you have been on. I must say that even with swelling and tubes you look amazing. I am just totally amazed by the difference. I hope you continue to heal well and I can't wait to see the final results. Thank you for being so brave as to keep a blog and do…

I'm sorry you are so frustrated. I have done WW and LA Weight Loss and had success with both of them but I'm just the opposite of you in that I have done WAY better by counting calories. I find that I don't feel deprived by doing it this way. THAT being said, I think you should probably pick which ever one makes you feel…

I definitely think she threw the weigh-in. What I don't like about it is her lying about it. If you don't want people to doubt your integrity then don't do stupid things to cause it. I hope they go below the line soon and she goes home. I like her husband but I think he feels that he has to please her no matter what. I…

Me in November of 2008 right around 350 pounds Me on January 1st 2010 after losing 91 pounds trying to post these. don't know if they'll work or not.

I can't get over how different everyone looks. I would love to post before and after of me but I post from work and I am now blocked from photobucket. Plus the fact that my user id has my last name in it and this site blocks part of it. LOL. If you look at my profile you can see a before picture of me and the one in my…

Wow! You look amazing!!! Congratulations on your success.

I know exactly how you feel. Try to hang in there. If you're like me going home isn't an option.

Thanks everybody. I appreciate all your comments. I do intend to do better. No more excuses. I was reading one of the Success posts about what was the moment that made you start losing. I posted there about wanting to take my son to an amusement park this summer and not wanting to be embarrassed about not fitting into the…

Mine came last February when a coworker was telling me all about the trip that her kids would be going on in May to an amusement park with a school program they were doing. I realized that my oldest would be starting school in September and that he would be going on trips like that and I wouldn't be able to ride any of the…

HOLY COW!!! Look at the difference in your pictures! You look absolutely amazing!

Wow! You look great.

I've been fat all my life. I honestly don't remember a time when I was small or close to the size I should've been for my age. I remember every summer trying to lose weight while out of school with fresh garden vegetable available. That's when my dad would tease me about wanting a milkshake or some other scrumptious…

thank you. I get a little down on myself at times because I let stress get the best of me and then I want to eat everything in sight. I'm lucky though, I have a huge support system around me and they aren't above telling me it's time to ease up on the munching and remember what I'm working for.

Congrats on reaching your healthy BMI!!! that's so great!

Sorry for being late checking in. Lots going on. It's been a bit of a struggle but I'm still going down. I have slacked off on logging my foods and I really need to get started doing that again. At least I lost a bit this week. Let's hope I get at least CLOSE to 260 by Christmas. Updating for the week. Start Date July 15…

sounds like what I had this morning. I had asparagus and mushrooms sauteed in 1 tbls. parkay light butter and once done I put two eggs in and cooked until done. I was taking it to work so I put it in a bowl and cut up a wedge of laughing cow light cheese on it. When I got to work I nuked it for 30 seconds to warm it up and…

I had an off weekend. I have been so stressed and depressed about our situation right now that I pretty much just ate crap. I had a major "I don't care" attitude but I look back and see that I do care. I could've gone WAY overboard but I didn't. I didn't make the best choices but I did try to limit my intake of them. Well,…

Great job.
