Oh I am most definitely an anger eater. The number one set off? My grandmother hassling me about something I'm already eating. I'm munching away on my 3:00 pm snack, a reduced fat cheddar stick, happy go lucky. She comes in and makes some smart comment about cheese or something or another (or hassles me about doing my…

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. :) I would post it on here... but 50,000 words = 184 pages. I will gladly email it to anyone who will sign a contract promising not to steal it.. :tongue: :laugh: Actually I'm going to print it out and send it to myself before I send it to anyone as a cheap form of copyright. But after…

It's great to see losses on here! I was afraid everyone would have fallen off the wagon like I did! :laugh: I'm really glad you guys have lost this week, what with all the craziness of the holiday. Unfortunately I did not meet my goal of maintaining this week. Last week: 266.5 This week: 267.5 At least it's only one pound.…

Weigh in! Starting Weight - 303 Last Week - 271.7 This Week - 266.5 Loss this week - 5.2 Loss overall - 36.5 Finally broke my 3 week long plateau! I didn't just break it I smashed it all to pieces. The Doc reminds me that it was probably water weight, but I don't care. I've lost and I'm going to keep it off. That's my goal…

I'm still floating about. I hadn't lost anything in 3 weeks though. Week 1 - 269 Week 2 - 269 -_- Week 3 - 271.7!!!! Week Today - 266.5 Makes NO sense!

Step 1: Work out like crazy the days before and be REALLY REALLY good. Step 2: MEASURE/LOG EVERYTHING Step 3: Eat small portions throughout the day instead of full plates (The food goes up at 12:00, we leave at 9:00 pm. We usually walk around and reheat whenever we feel our stomachs get a little less full) Step 4: Instead…

Yay!!!!! Congratulations! I can't imagine how good that feels! -blows party noise maker- I must admit... SW: 303 LW: 269 CW: 271.7 I gained nearly 3 pounds! I knew I was doing poorly and I didn't change it on the weekend. I went down to the pizza shop and pigged out on garlic knots. -sigh- But no time to mope about. I've…

It's fun to smash stereotypes, but we all must realize that if we dress a certain way, we will be viewed a certain way. My pet peeve is in general my aunt and her boyfriend. They're the types of people growing food in their own back yard because "The government puts chemicals in our food to make us fat and eat more," and…

I'm not going to weigh in on Friday this week girls. I'm moving my weigh ins to Mondays, so I'll weigh in for next week's stats. I was pretty off earlier this week so I'm kicking my bum in gear these last few days and hoping that I'll at least stay, if not lose -some- weight by Monday. That, and with the holiday's coming…

Bump for Friday weigh in. I'm considering making Monday's my weigh ins. Keep me accountable during the weekends. I do tend to over eat during the weekend. The "oh I'll just be really good during the week" idea.

My clothes haven't changed that much, and I've lost 34 pounds. Some things that were tight are a little loose but I haven't officially changed sizes yet.

Oy. If I had a scale at home, I'd be on it every five minutes. Everytime I passed it I'd step on it. I've done it before. So I tossed my scale and started weighing in at the doctors office. Their scale is more accurate and I have a digital scale at home where I weigh my clothes to know just how much to take off. (anywhere…

Last week: 269 This week: 269 I maintained. I'm actually slightly excited about that because I originally thought I had gained a pound. Turned out it was my shoes... I weigh in at the doctors office, and normally i wear flip flops which weigh maybe an ounce and a half. I wore my sneakers today because it's chilly! And they…

Starting: 303 Last week: 269 This week: 269 Loss of: 0 I'll take it, after my bad choices this week (oh halloween....) And originally when I weighed in (I do it at the doctors office so fully clothed) I freaked because it read that I had gained a pound! Turns out since I wore sneakers and socks instead of my thin little…

Digital scale! Better to be exact. :)

Saving for Friday...

Okay so I've seen a lot of people on here arguing their sides with the "I'm fat and I have kids so should I get them taken away from me" arguments. You all either have children or had a parent who was obese and are outraged at this. I was a kid who was shuffled in and out and in and out of foster care here in the states.…

Great Job Debbie! ^_^ We are all doing so great. Keep it up gals!

Weigh in Day for me! Starting weight: 303 Last week: 272.7 This week: 269.0 A loss of 3.7 pounds. ^_^ I'm very happy that I kicked it in gear this week and lost what I gained PLUS two extra pounds! I am back on track and... NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE! My BMI (which I know is a crappy number system but still) is under the 40…

I remember when the thought of eating less than 2200 calories seemed not only difficult but near impossible. My calories are down to 1590 (to lose 2 pounds a week) and I'm not having any trouble keeping within them. I moved it down because I was having trouble eating enough for my 1860 limit (losing 1.5 pounds a week) so I…

I'm weird, I like it actually. :)

Just a thought... in another group I'm in, they have a spreadsheet that they update each week with starting weight, current weight, weekly loss, percent loss, total loss, total percent loss, and average weekly loss. I could make one up for us if you guys would want me to. I personally like it because we see everyone's…

kevins(ex)girl - Your son is probably upset about the recent split. Have you considered having him talk with someone or is he just too young? On a personal note, I think the Excel spreadsheets motivate me the most. :) Nothing like seeing all those averages and everyone's success right there with mine, even if we've…

-sigh- Last Week: 271.7 This Week: 272.7 I gained a pound. Doesn't surprise me because I went to my family's pizza shop and I was starving... stuffed my face. This is what I get. I know better than to go down there when I'm really hungry, all will power goes out the door. Ugh. Today's a new day. Back on track and even…
