You are doing so well and look great! I'm at 325 right now so I know how hard this is. Keep up the great work!

My family eats fast food every Wednesday after church choir practice because we only have 45 minutes to get home and eat before bath and bed time for my six year old. I find that Wendy's or Runza's (a NE Chain) chili is a good pick - high in protein and fiber, not bad on fat and has veggies. On Friday we always have Pizza…

535 + 250= 785 :)

485 + 45 =535

150 +285=485!!!!!! And the month is only half over!

3/13 30 minutes 265

150 last week 3/12 60 of light cleaning, 25 water aerobics = 85 minutes 235 minutes

I have about 200 to lose so your story is really incredible and inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

Me too, Allie! I hate being asked when I'm due.

Yuck! Feel better!

I do chair yoga and water yoga at my gym and I'm 327. I hate looking in the mirror but it eases the back pain from my fibromyalgia and then I go home and take a fabulous nap before I get my girls from school!

I'm at 1740 before exercise for two pounds a week. I usually net between 1500 and 1700.

I've gained and lost a bald eagle since I started.

If you go to my profile there is a before pic (in a sweater) and my now pic is my profile pic. I'm not sure how to post pics on here. There's definitely a difference in 12 lbs.

Sun-mon -10 hrs mon-tues-10.5 hours (My meds make me really sleepy)

Hi, I'm Kathy. I'm 35 and a wife and mom of two girls ages 6 and 9. I gained 130 lbs on psych meds for my bipolar disorder, but am at 327 right now. My first month on here I gained 12 lbs because I was still on the evil med. Now I am off and lost the weight back to my starting weight in the last few weeks. I love MFP, and…

I'll match you on the 500 minutes!

Especially the drug companies that make the psychotropic drugs that just pile on the pounds.

Muscle and fat weight the same (pound is a pound, but muscle takes up less space then fat, so if you are replacing fat with muscle, you will weigh more. Look for Non-scale Victories(NSV) this week (how clothes fit, how you feel, how is your quality of sleep).

It's all ****s and giggles until someone giggles and ****s... I'm so sorry, I have been waiting for days to use that line.

My kids are school age and I stay home so I hit the gym 3-4 times a week. I'm nursing a knee injury right now, so I have been water walking and doing chair yoga. I love the water because it supports my body and the chair yoga really stretches me out and strengthens me. I see the orthopedic surgeon on Friday so he'll tell…

I made the cake with yellow cake mix and sugar free cool whip on top. My family loved it! Mine came in at 116 calories, that's with the cw.

Hi - I also am over 300 lb from emotional/binge eating. I found support on here and have found low cal versions of foods I can't love or substitutes - sugar-free jello pudding with cool whip in place of ice cream. I've also replaced lunch with a protein bar or shake. And exercising most days DOES release endorphin s that…

That is awesome!

Hi, I'm Kathy and I'm the wife of Pete and the mom to Emily,9, and Mallory,6. I am currently disabled due to a severe mental illness. I've always been big, but not this big. I've gained over 100 lbs because of psych medication, but just got off the worst culprit last Friday. I'd like to lose those 100 lbs, then maybe about…

I'm so loving this thread, not as nerdy as my husband, but extremely nerdy in my own way! Sheldon from big band theory is my favorite and I have to see any and all superhero movies (especially x-men, even watch the cartoons on netflix - without my kids).

Love this! There's also another one that is baby seals on a dance floor that says "Stop clubbing, baby seals!". Cracks me up

Mom of two here, and I'm a hundred pounds from my prepregnancy weight of my nine year old. I'd join the group!

Hi, I've been on here for 50 odd days and haven't lost anything yet, in fact I gained my first month because of meds. I'm 336 and would like to lose at least 100 lbs. What was working for me exercise wise (until I hurt my knee - I'm on crutches now) was water aerobics. We can do a lot more in the water then on land. Take…
