I'm originally from a small town about an hour south of Springfield (called Gillespie) but I now live in the Netherlands, Amsterdam more specifically. Planning a trip "home" in 19 more days and cannot wait to be in the good ole USA!

I agree with a previous poster who said he's trying to contol you and fears if you lose weight you'll leave him. If he cooks and you're not sure what's in it because he won't measure, don't eat it and tell him why each and every time in the exact same way. If he puts the "yucky veg" on your plate because he doesn't like…

i think I already replied but for those who are still responding, feel free to add me!

I have felt the same ways for many years and it was paralysing! I would go to the store and just have no clue what to pick (this was back before Eating Clean came along). I wanted to be right. I wanted to be smart. I wanted to follow all of the advice and not mess up. It was so overwhelming. I chose a source, one that made…

250 mls a "cup" a "teaspoon" and a "tablespoon" are all units of measure in the USA. Nobody actually uses a measuring tablespoon to eat with at the dinner table. All of these measurements will be exactly the same An American tablespoon is NOT equivalent of a spoon that you use at the table in the UK. A US teaspoon is NOT a…

I chose the weight that was the highest in my weight range for a healthy BMI for my height and build. I have been close to 285 pounds almost my entire adult life (weighing 230 when I was 15 and never getting on a scale again until my mid 20's, I'm now 35 years old). Getting down to 200 seems like a huge accomplishment but…

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

amen

red bell peppers are a nice snack if you get sick of carrots. They go well with humus or are good alone. You can always try making a smoothie for breakfast and including some of your veg there. A lot of times for dinner i'll just have tomato and cucumber slices with some feta sprinkled on top (along with my protien/carb).…

ditto! it was like a creepy, over zealous commercial! That said, I had no idea people did anything with pork rinds other than eat them straight out of the bag. I also didn't know they were high in protien!

why wouldn't she just delete the friend who wasn't being supportive rather than locking the diary? My diary is open only to people on my friends list because I know how public forums can be and I don't need those people getting in my head. Not everybody is nice. Not everybody is considerate. Not everybody has a good heart.…

WTF is wrong with your mother?!?!?!? You poor woman!!

I am so happy for you and your health!

Mostly places will tell you that 3 pounds a week isn't a healthy or realistic goal but if that's what you choose, so be it. Agree with previous posters though, you're not eating enough to fuel your body. WW should be giving you activity points, you need to use them.

I'm happy to lend some support!

You will drive yourself mad if you constantly check different sources wanting the same answers. Stick to one site that you trust and go with it. This whole game is based on estimations so you just have to try things out and see what works for you.

Is it okay that I dislike you for looking awesome in all four shots? LOL :laugh: You have a fantastic body! Well done on reaching your goals!
-
This is what I have done and the advice I give to you: -take tiny steps in the process especially if you start feeling overwhelmed with information (low carb, no carb, eating clean, raw foods WHAT???) There is a TON of information out there, a million people trying to lose weight and twice as many ways to go about it. This…

WOW! what a fantastic goal. Great job!

sure!!!

depression isn't just a state of mind (no looking at the bright side will cure somebody of depression) it's an actual illness that needs to be taken seriously and possibly medicated. I think you may fit into the category of depressive, just from your short post here. Call your doctor and make an appointment. Take this…

I'm an American living in the Netherlands (for the last 8 years actually). I also lived in Wales for a short time in 2004. The world doesn't hate America. Sure, they don't love us as much as we love ourselves but I have yet to run into somebody who just hates the entire country as a whole, and I'm sure anybody who would,…

I had this exact same problem! And I know how you feel, so desperate to get it right that it can be crippling. When I got to the point where I was just so overwhelmed with thoughts, choices, what's right, what's wrong, what are people thinking, is this good, is this bad, does it have carbs, how much fat, what about…

I didn't bother to read every snarky post so sorry if I repeat. I got help for my binge eating. It was the only way I could break the cycle. I would eat until I was so full I could have easily been sick. I had no awareness of what "full" or "hungry" meant. I just knew that if I wasn't miserably stuffed then I wasn't done.…

Holy crap you look fantastic!

this made me smile! Way to go!
