2 years ago this site was people supporting each other with very little bickering......now days it seems to run rampant. also....why so many skinny skinny people? "i weigh 110 pounds and want to lose 20......gross

hello, anyone can add me :)

dear ex-wife, kiss my *kitten* you attention seeking slime bucket! Love, New wife

it's great to see the spreadsheet. thanks for doing it! this is confirming i'm on track for weight loss. i've never been a consistent watcher of the Biggest loser or any other weight loss show. I know an avg is 2-3 pounds but it seems so low. seeing the other's weight loss amounts is confirming, for me, that i'm on track.

i'm with you!!! i feel your pain and living it too!!! damn scale, damn TTOM and yes i'm gonna get over the hump and you will too!! hopefully nothing will get harmed along the way :)

great work and great support group you have for yourself. keep it up!!!

CW 199.0 LW 202.5 So i lost 3.5 pounds. TTOM has invaded my life and i'm hoping he moves out and so maybe i'll experience a loss of water weight. :tongue: i'm glad to be doing this challenge. i've been down about not seeing pounds melt away and this puts it into perspective. keep up the fight :wink:

you have great teeth

i am also a nurse. and i think the answer you are looking for is, empathy. empathy can only come when the person is non-judgemental. there are several factors to consider when looking at why people "let themselves" go. complacency, depression, lonliness, fear, emotional abuse, health issues, genetic factors, low self…

i've used this program off and on for a couple of years. the most success i've had is eating the "net" 1200 calories a day. it can be very difficult to do depending on how much you exercise. if you don't exercise....it pretty easy to consume 1200 a day because it's not many calories. i look at it as the more i exercise,…

a 1000 an hour!! you're my hero of the day :)

though i do weigh and record everyday for motivation.....i agree....it can screw with your head sometimes :)

i weigh and record everyday. it keeps me on track and motivated!!!

cw: 202.5......................i hope i can keep it up. lost 4 pounds so far

i'm in love with peanut butter....hope it never happens to me

something i need to work on cutting out

the guy jogging next to me whose sweat is sloshing all over everywhere, including on my legs.....grosses me out. wear a frikkin' headband!!!

SW; 206.5 CW: 205 GW:170 I hope i can figure out how to do all this.....it's hard to find the challenge quickly. is this the place to log in every friday?

count me in

my moment came when i realized i got pleasure from being "full". i actually said outloud, "i love the feeling of being full". i realized i had a problem with food and i could fully appreciate the statement, "living to eat instead of eating to live." it's still a constant struggle for me. there are days i have to "will"…
