Hi! I don't know about this basing your calories off of your BMR, I've never looked at that. I've been using the Harris Benedict Formula. I had lost about 40lbs but then life happened and I lost track of me for a little while. I'm using it right now, I have my husband on it, and my friend has lost 50lbs using it. It's…

Roseanne - All of the still shots were taken in my home town. I have been watching it since it first started and own it on DVD and watch it every Tuesday-Friday on Oxygen LOL I can quote them. It's kinda sad, I know, but it keeps be from being so home sick while traveling around with my hubs for his job :)

Tall big girl here LOL I'm 5'11" and my starting weight was 242lbs. I'm down to about 230lbs right now and only on my like third year here trying to get to 155lbs LOL Oh well, these things take time. But welcome, I wish you all the motivation in the world and feel free to add me :)

I think it's great! It helps put things in perspective :)

Don't call me a rat, buddy.

I think I'm going to figure out a way to do this, I'm in.

Hummus (I like the Roasted Red Pepper) or Laughing Cow cheese wedges

Oh yes, you are certainly not alone. Lots of us on here and lots of us frustrated. I did want to suggest really looking into the Metformin before getting on it. I went to a really lousy OBGYN who basically belittled me into taking it because she said I was too fat to get pregnant, have a healthy pregnancy, and deliver the…

Oh I do it all the time, but the worst was about two years ago and hubs was out of town and making a purchase I didn't feel was necessary but I let it go and decided to make a purchase of my own. I mean, that's only fair, right? Well he didn't like MY purchase and was giving me hell about it so I started texting my friend…

My number one is the skin thing. It already is sagging and has been since I was 12yrs old...ugh...

On a day trip with hubs and our two dogs, walking in a ravine, and stopping to take some pictures :)

I'm 5'11" and always felt way too tall until I met my boyfriend (now hubby) in high school :)

Classic

Thanks ladies! I'm DEFINITELY going to check into that Weight Watchers book :smile:

And this ^^^ is horrible and hysterically funny all at the same time. Awesome sense of humor! :laugh:

I can't seem to properly manage our finances, keep the house clean, stop putting the "pro" in procrastinator, clean up dog vomit without practically vomiting myself, walk too close to the edge of the bed with bare feet and ankles after dark, or sleep without tucking myself in all the way around and having either my husband…

Thanks guys! *Bump* :)

Also, I'm totally anti shakes I want to EAT my calories ;)

I find it works better for me if I snack 2-3 times a day. I'm not a big breakfast eater...never have been...so I'm always hungry before lunch time. I find if I eat every 2 hours I'm good to go. Yes that sounds like a lot, but here's a typical day for me: Breakfast: 9:00am - Quaker Oats Chewy Granola Bar Snack: 11:00am -…

Friend request is on it's way! You can do this! These people are amazing :)

Request sent missy Welcome :)

My dad comes from a taller family but is about the tallest one at 6'3" which I believe comes from his dad (I never met the man) because it seems that my grandma and her whole family were all of average height or shorter (we're not close) but my mother is the tallest of what little I know of her family, coming in at 5'7"…

Usually I always want to see if they're taller than me or not, and then depending on their personality my feelings go from there. Rarely do I meet other tall women, and very rarely are they taller than me. Having said that, I've been lucky enough to have a tall woman in my life (my mom's best friend who is like an aunt to…

I'm 5'11" and currently about 228lbs but am aiming for 155lbs :)

I'm 5'11" and also started at 242lbs in a pant size 18/20 and XL shirts...though I may have needed to be rocking a 2XL :-/ My lowest weight was 205.8lbs and I was in 16's (I did have a stretchy pair that were 14/16's) I'm currently back up to 229.8lbs and let me tell ya, these 16's are NOT comfortable, but dammit they're…

I'm from Indiana and my hubby has been working in Florida since September. I drove down for Thanksgiving and Christmas to visit with him for the holidays and when I made the Thanksgiving trip I hadn't much more than gotten there (a 13 hour drive with both of our dogs) when we had to leave to go to dinner. For the Christmas…

This is phenomenal! I love having other totally tall women to chat with!! :)

My hubby is 6'4" which comes in over my 5'11" so it works really well. I can even get away with a small heel, though I rarely wear them LOL We have been together for 10 years and definitely had a LOT of ups and downs...some really bad downs with infertility and consequent financial issues...but he is my rock and I am his.…

Every day!! All of our friends (male and female) are so much shorter than me and I just feel like a big ol' man LOL

I lost it on one of my bosses a couple years ago for the "But you're so tall" comment... I said, "Ugh I HATE that! It's like saying, Yes you're a cow, but you're a TALL cow, so it's less offensive to my eyes." She really didn't know how to react to that... LOL
