I like to eat more at night too. I typically eat fewer calories during the day and have a reasonable dinner and a snack. It's not an easy change to make but it can be done. If you're an emotional eater (like me) it may help you to slow down and think about why you want to binge. I'm getting to the point where i can…

Hey. It's me again. I did a little poking around on the internet and I found some things to share. I think I'm going to start doing the yoga myself! :) I wish you the best of luck. ~Sarah http://www.livestrong.com/article/150367-paraplegic-workouts/ -you could probably use your hand weights to do these…

Hey Marcus, my name is Sarah. I don't know much about being wheelchair bound or diabetes but I can appreciate having a significant amount of weight to lose. (Fifty pounds would just be scratching the surface for me, lol.) I'm sure you probably have, but have you looked around the internet for exercises/diets for diabetics…

Thanks for all of the support guys. <3

Aw! <3 Awesome!

I just had one while still warm. I'm a brownie lover by nature so I was really excited to try this recipe. I say they're not bad. I like them enough to possibly make them again sometime but, of course, they will never take the place of traditional brownies. XD

I have them in the oven right now! The batter was really yummy so I have pretty high hopes for these! Lol.

Oh, I hope these are awesome! Lol. I want to make them so bad!

Creating a weekly menu has greatly helped me. Start reading labels at the grocery store. Whole, natural foods are almost always the best way to go in terms of nutrition and/or low calories. Good luck! :)

I can't wait for my success story either. XD I want to get in shape so that I can do more things with my kids. My dream is to be able to take them to a theme park in 2013 and ride the rides with them. That's a HUGE goal of mine. <3 I can't wait. And good luck to you. We can do this together! :)

The only things I am doing is eating better and moving more. XD It's hard a lot of days. I've been really uninspired to exercise lately, but I'm trying to get back on the wagon. Anyone in here can feel free to add me as a friend if they want. I'm on daily and I generally give support/tips and ask for the same from my…

Hello. My name is Sarah. I'm a twenty seven year old mother of three. Six weeks ago I weighed 402 pounds. I currently weigh 380. I came here after giving myself the same ultimatum. Luckily i have been able to stick with the changes so far and have seen results. This site is an awesome place to meet friends and find…

I think I probably have a lot more weight to lose than you but I'm on daily and try very hard to encourage everyone at least once a day. I'm always willing to listen and give advice. It's a hard journey but it's easier with friends so feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

My children are a huge motivation for me. I'm twenty-seven and I have always been overweight and/or obese. Just recently (the last year or two) I have really been able to see a decline in my body and abilities. It was time for change a LONG time ago but I can't rewrite the past. I'm making the change now and have lost 22…

Wonderful! All of your hard work is paying off! :D

Your situation sounds difficult. I remember how dark and lonely depression feels. Just remember that what the others are saying is true. I lost forty pounds two years ago and I never once exercised. I simply watched what I was eating. Ask your doctor first, but I feel like it probably would be to your benefit to move…

Uh... muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound is a pound. BUT muscle is more dense than fat, meaning that even if you weigh the same amount your body may be shrinking. You should take your measurements once a month or so. If you are gaining muscle your measurements should shrink slowly. Your body will be…

Don't feel like a failure. It happens to the best of us. In fact, I have a thread going right now where I asked for advise on how to prevent myself from binge eating. We're in the same boat today! XD

Thank you for so many awesome replies. You guys are great and there are a lot of new things in here for me to try. :) Thank you again.

27 here in northern New York. You can tell by my ticker that I've got a long way to go. I've decided that I'm going to be dedicated this time though! XD This battle can be won. I will do it and if you fight hard you can do it too. :)

I'm 27 and currently morbidly obese. I am trying to change my lifestyle. My motivations are my children, husband, general health, and the desire to not let my youth pass me by. Feel free to add me if you'd like some more support. I'm here for a long journey so I'll be here for a long time to come. :)

*wouldn't hurt someone

While it probably would hurt someone to eat only apples for one day, it doesn't really sound like a good idea either. The human body requires protein and fat. Eating only apples would be cause a lot of sugar intake and probably not offer a full feeling that would last for very long. I don't if this theory would work or…

Potsdam, NY here! Way up north. :D

I haven't had this problem yet but I'm interested to see what answers come up. Try not to be discouraged. (I know, easier said than done.) It's normal to hit a plateau now and again and it probably doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Just keep going. Don't give up. You can do this!

This is as simple as it gets. Good point of view.

I agree with this. It's anything that get's your heart pumping and blood flowing. It's the best way to lose weight. Weight lifting will add lean muscle but that also is weight gain. If you're looking to only lose weight right now then you probably want to stick to cardio. Weight training will give your muscles more…

Welcome aboard. :)

I had a piece of chocolate cake when I was out today. It was so yummy and well worth the calories. Don't guilt yourself over the occasional treat! :D

Are you getting many vegetables? They help to fill you up and are good for you but they can be expensive. And I would think jogging after dinner would be fine. I sometimes don't get to work out until after my kids go to bed. So I've already eaten most, if not all, of my food for the day by then. Remember to drink plenty of…
