What to do? 1. Stop making excuses for not eating for your health. 2. Stop generalizing Puerto Rican behavior. That's not a cultural issue, that's a him issue.

$20/month for the gym and it looks like they're opening one in my town. woohoo!

for all that work, this is an awful thing to do to a head of cauliflower and a crime against pizza kind. i'm from NY where "a slice" is king. that, my dears, is truly dreadful. i want real pizza.

this. ::snicker:: ::snicker::

Not taking pictures because I'm huge and ugly. I hate how fat my arms are.

My work gets me involved with people who've had problems post bariatric surgery. And I personally know people who've done both the full on bypass and the lap band. I even looked at it for myself at my heaviest of approx 265 lbs. So, from my experience and in my opinion - no, don't do it. If you can do the diet and exercise…

Burrppp!

King Cake? Years ago a co-worker from NOLA had one sent up to NY for me. I shared it, I didn't eat the whole thing on my own. But I think I ate the baby.

WOW.

OMG, so many new myfatness peeps! I need you all to keep watch on my supersize badunkadunk. Knowing you're all watching will not only make me paranoid, but if my lazy *kitten* can do it, so can you. I mean, really, I got the angry lolcat face on when i exercise. If I haven't added you yet, ya'll need to relax, I work…

Sense of humor, yes, I'm keeping it. It doesn't weigh anything.

Seems impossible to me right now. I'm mostly fast wlking right now. But we'll see where I am next month.

Old "new" Mommy here. Just had my fourth baby in October 2012. The last one. Its time to make my body mine while still breastfeeding. Currently 230, looking to get to 150. Add me!

this. i like this reply.

Bronx-born and raised, living in dirty Jersey!

thanks for the info! mostly i just need to get my fat *kitten* out of the door. i live by a new balance store that fits for running shoes, so that's a no-brainer. and i would be running right past my foot doctor's office if i run on the main road. i really have no excuses, do i?

When it comes to fruits and non-starchy vegetables I'm heavy handed. They won't kill me. Chicken and fish I weigh, but generally use the "deck of cards" measurement. Nuts go on the scale, too easy to eat the handfuls I want to eat. Red meat, rice, and pasta always go on the scale. OCD is a real condition. Obsessing about…

I don't understand the use of protein shakes. I thought you used them to supplement protein intake for muscle building. But for weight loss? I think I rather like eating food - drinking my calories causes problems, like drinking to many. And how good can they possibly taste? I don't know.

Wait, how do you make your stuffed peppers? I've wanted to make stuffed peppers, but need something really good to stuff them with that does not include rice. I don't really like rice, save for a few things I have to have it with, like rice and beans.

are you my twin? yeah, mollie is right - someone needs to tell her to shut up.

I joined MFP January 2012 at 255 lbs, lost 15 lbs, got pregnant (#4!!!), then had to step away because thinking about food made me sick. Flash forward to today and I've started logging food, again, but now with even more kids running around. I'm currently weighing in at 233 lbs. So anyone who'd like to, add me - we need…

I love this post! I refuse to give up on real sugar, burgers, fries, ice cream, cheese, bread and the occasional can of ice cold Coke.

great job!

I love this! Fight club mentality! So true! I really hate when people bring up my weight. It's a sore point with me. I don't even like the compliments because they always seem to be backhanded. What about, "hey you look great!" - not, "wow, you were SO fat before." And commenting on what I'm eating, or complaining about…

And we're here for pizza and cake, too. Om nom, nom nom!

Right on! Honesty is good. And humor! We need humor! This cr@p is hard enough already, if you can make me laugh, that's a plus. One of my comments got deleted today because I told someone who wanted to eat more veggies to eat a vegan (because they are full of veggies, duh!) And some vegan got offended, so I got deleted. I…

Been stalked by at least 3 different people. The last guy was married with this huge neck tattoo that was his and his wife's names with a heart shaped padlock. He just creeped me out.

I'm having a cup of apple butternut squash soup, half a honey tangerine, some baby carrots and a sandwich made of a small whole wheat pita with honey maple turkey, sliced granny smith apple, a wedge of laughing cow light swiss, lemon hummus, and baby spinach. Yum!

Height: 5'4" SW: 255 lbs CW: 234 lbs GW: 150 lbs (?) Add me if you'd like. We need all the encouragement we can get!

January 2012 I was wearing 22/24 tops and 22 bottoms were looking a little tight. I had a baby in October and since then my 18/20 tops fit and those 22 bottoms are falling off me. My *kitten* has been so big for so long, I don't have any size 20 bottoms around. I'll go buy some clothes when I'm a 14/16. Until then my 2x…
