Personally, I am over 400 lbs, and I know every time I have a medical issue, the Dr almost always doesn't even get an examination, They just say, its your weight....that is a hard pill to swallow, but so was the countless calories I ate to get here. I get annoyed as a big person when I see women and men wanting to be…

That is a big step in the right direction! Congratulations on that! when you drink it is one, FATTENING and two it makes it hard to make good choices to eat when you are wasted...lol I quit drinking and did for the same reasons. I could not drink sensibly and it was just better for me to quit. good luck with that and you…

with all that working out, maybe you are not eating enough? I know it sounds weird, but sometimes, eating more will help you to lose. You can try that, I know that the harder you work out, the more fuel your body needs and if its not getting enough, it will try to 'reserve' and that slows the weight loss down. crazy but…

Well, if you notice on your food intake page, you see headings like protein, carbs, sugars etc with a goal limit...You should be paying attention to those as well... Not all calories are created equally. The body has to work harder on certain foods. also it depends on how active you are because depending on your activity…

you look amazing!!! wow great job and what a great accomplishment!!!! Congratulations on all your hard work!

I had been a WW member since 2000 and I had not lost any weight and I was getting so tired of not losing...so I quit ww and my friend told me about this site...I LOVE the dedicated commitment and support you find from community members here. But I did recently re-join WW with the new 360 plan. I LOVE IT!!!! It deals more…

I have to stay off facebook, Sometimes it is just too much TMI you know? But I do log in occasionally to say hello to friends...but like the last few days with all the shootings and sadness, I have had to just stay away.

All time favorite is Christmas Vacation ....but I love them all! I have quite an extensive collection Nothing like the Holidays is a good one, The Family Stone is my favorite sentimental movie, but I love Home Alone, and of course all the classics!!

I have the Zumba, which is great for cardio...I also have the Biggest loser workout which is KILLER....and it gives you a little bit of a personal trainer effect...its interactive and fun and you move so you burn...I can tell you that I cant do them very long, due to my inactive lifestyle I have had for so long, but I do…

what great results!! Nicely done!!!! Great job!!!

Low Vit D levels can actually slow or halt your weight loss. My Dr had me take a high dose for like 8 weeks then follow up with the 1000 daily...get your levels checked to make sure you need them...

I always manage myself well during the work days, When I am off work in the evenings after 2 pm, I tend to do my picking and or mindless eating....Its a bummer...but shows that if I was more active, food would not be my go to....

We all have a starting point...dont worry because now, you will never see that # again, you can watch go down in flames!!!! Congratulations on starting and staying!!!! just remember that number and let it remind you of where you DONT want to be!!! good luck and hope to see less of you each week!!! lol

You are in the right place!! I have never felt so much support for any 'program' as I get here! You can do it and we are all here to cheer you on! Go girl!!! And CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NURSING!!!! WTG!!!!

I am sure what you meant was you hate the way your teen is behaving...lol ...I know this! I feel you on it...My daughter is 21 legal to drink in any country and she has been driving me crazy since 15!!! lol so I know what you mean...sometimes we have to let go and let God...its so hard to watch your child (or anyone you…

lol

You have got to buy the book, '400 Calorie Fix' It is so great and could really help you with this 1200 cal daily diet your on...it really has some great ideas and can keep you full and satisfied on 3 meals of 400 cal foods!

I am doing great!! I am really working on binge eating and I am hopefully going to move into a good work out routine this month that will help boost my goal! This is shaping up to great year!!!!

Try air popped and then use the seasonings like ranch, cheddar cheese, etc, only adds 12 calories per tblsoon and SOOO much fun..they even have cinnamon and sugar for a sweet treat!

Unjunk, you need a hug! Seriously happiness is not a myth...its a state of mind...and a HUGE choice one makes every second of every day. If you are unhappy with in yourself, it will be hard to share happiness with someone else...but true happiness is love of oneself. I know recently I have had days where everything SUCKS…

Don't think for a second that no one has noticed!!! You have lost 38 lbs!! that is great!!! imagine almost 4 ten lb sacks of potatoes!!! that is an incredible loss. The reason no one has said anything is weight is a very touchy subject for some people...and its an embarrassing subject for others. People are noticing they…

I weigh in every Friday morning. I then have my cheat day on Saturday and then my new week begins every Sunday. I have great success with that so far! I used to get on the scale every day, but I don't and cant do that to myself anymore lol

What science teaches us about calories is you have to burn 3500 MORE calories than you take in to lose one lb of weight...so as I am sure you know, the body burns 'x' amount of calories just with everyday living like breathing, heart beating and organs functioning...They figure a normal sized adult uses 1200 calories just…

1) boneless skinless chicken breasts 2) bag of broccoli crowns 3) bag of romaine hearts 4)bananas 5)oatmeal old fashioned oats 6) peanut butter 7) fat free catalina dressing 8) 97% fat free ground beef 9) bag of yellow Onions 10) whole wheat pita pockets

I LOVE IT!!! SO SO SO TRUE...I have weeks where I am just working like mad and I actually gain! so It all depends on your body, your metabolizem and if your taking medications etc. But generally the bigger you are, you will see big losses...check out the show Biggest Loser...they get on and one person will lose 35 lbs the…
