I am definitely addicted to food- a foodaholic, through and through. Before I started making dietary changes, I ate all day long and all the wrong foods. I ate to comfort myself when I was sad, ate when I was happy, excited, angry, etc etc. I ate when I was full. I would go to bed at night and literally dream of the food I…

Haha! Nice ;)

Mine is open- I eat the exact same thing every day- aside from my 'cheat' day, so it's pretty boring anyway! I don't mind sharing with people- I figure we're all on here for pretty much the same reasons, so I am happy to be open and honest about my journey. I do what works best for me and so far it's working pretty well :)

I'm nice! A bit too nice for my own good, most of the time ;) I have absolutely no 'guidelines' anyone has to follow to be my friend- I am more than happy to be friends with anyone on this site. We all need support and motivation, from time to time, and who am I to judge anyone else? I have my own issues to deal with! Thin…

I've dealt with weight issues for most of my adult life. Over the past 5 years, I really let myself go- weighing as much as 333 pounds at one point. I was in a very unhappy relationship (we're still living in the same house but we're not a couple- waiting for this house to sell before going our separate ways) and I ate to…

You look fabulous! You can definitely see a big difference. What a nice gift from your husband :)

Congratulations! That is amazing and you look fabulous. I love success stories like this- keeps me motivated :)

That's amazing! I wish I could do that. Congratulations on a job very well done :)

I weigh myself daily but only log it once a week. I have a cheat day once a week- usually Saturday.

I do an hour and a half of Tae Bo and 40 minutes of brisk walking/jogging combo everyday and it's helped me to lose 63 pounds since November 2011. I used to only do an hour of Tae Bo, but added the extra half an hour and walk/jog combo, last month.

SW- 310 pounds (November 1st 2011) CW- 247 pounds (March 10th 2012) GW- 125 pounds

I'm really loving this site! This is my second time joining and my first time reading through the message Boards- it's really nice to meet so many people who are all trying to improve their health and lose weight. I actually deleted my facebook and tagged account as I want to focus only on losing weight..so..this is the…

My childhood home (which my parents still live in) was often visited by ghosts and the unknown. Everyone in my family (accept for me) has seen a black floating presence, both inside and outside the house. When it has been seen inside the house, it always walks toward the same bedroom (interestingly enough- my old room),…

1. I love spiders 2. I have BDD 3. I am extremlely shy until you get to know me- then you can't shut me up! 4. Two different physics told me I was Clara Bow in a past life. 5. I have never been in love.

I have about 130 pounds to lose. I started in November 2011 and am down 63 pounds. Still have a long way to go, but I am finding this site very helpful with a lot of support. Feel free to add me- that goes to everybody :)

I do Billy Blanks' Ultimate Tae Bo workout dvd and it's fabulous! I could never do workout dvds before, as I couldn't ever follow them and found the instructors weren't very helpful. Billy Blanks is an awesome motivator and he really keeps you going. I do this workout every day and it's made me feel so much stronger and…

I am a much happier person! I still have a lot of weight to lose, but the difference in how I feel now verses before I started making changes, is incredible. When I was at my highest weight of 310 pounds, I was miserable but also in denial about my weight. I knew I needed to lose weight, but I wasn't in the right mindset…

Likes: how much stronger and 'lighter' I feel getting some confidence back (still have to work on it) Having more control over my emotions Feeling happier with each passing day Dislikes: Looking at my body and knowing that even if I reach my goal weight, I will be left with loose skin, no boobs and probably a lot of other…

I'm 5'2" and 247 pounds and I am on 1200 calories a day. I was only eating 1,000 calories a day but MFP has me set at 1200 calories, so I make sure to eat as close to that as I can. I can honestly say that I rarely feel hungry and often I have to force myself to eat more during the day. I work out a lot each day as well,…

Hi there- At my highest weight, I was 310 pounds- which was November 2011. I've lost 63 pounds since then and even though I still have a long way to go, I am feeling so much better and happier about myself. When I first started working out, I could only do a brisk walk for about 3 minutes and then I was completely out of…

Hi! My name is Amy and I've been back on this site for a week now. I am finding it a great way to track my daily calorie intake and I am finding the messageboard a lot of help, with very inspiring stories. It helps to know that we're not alone in our weight loss journey, and there is a lot of support here. I have lost 63…

Congratulations..you look spectacular! Thanks for sharing your weight loss achievement; it's very inspiring :)

Hi everyone :) I've lost 60 pounds and still have another 120-130 pounds to go. I am 5'2" and 37 years old. I am here for anyone who needs support- feel free to add me :)

I am 5'2"...the highest weight I've been was 310 pounds. I am 248 pounds now and want to get down to 125 pounds.

I have lost 60 pounds and still have another 120-130 pounds to go, so I have a long road ahead of me. I joined this site about a week ago...I was a member late last year but didn't stick with it and stopped using the site. However, I am back again as I really want to control my calorie intake and see where I need to make…

I am on 1200 calories a day, but I earn a lot of calories back due to working out. I only ever use the extra calories on a 'cheat' day. I joined this site in November 2011, but didn't commit myself to using it daily and subsequently stopped using it altogether. I rejoined about a week ago and am committed to using the site…

I live with an extremely negative and not so nice man- we've had a terrible and rocky relationship for the past 8 years and are just waiting for this house to sell, so we can finally go our separate ways. When I first started on my weight loss journey, he would take every opportunity he had to put me down and make fun of…

I do the Billy Blanks Ultimate Tae Bo dvd workout. It's an hour and a half long, plus it has a 29 minute 'fat blaster' workout. I love this dvd and I usually have a very hard time following workout dvds. Billy Blanks is a great motivator- he really challenges you and motivates you throughout the entire dvd. He makes…

I won't judge anyone on this site. Losing weight is hard work and I am not here to judge anyone, just here to work on my own weight loss journey and to offer support to anyone who wants/needs it. I don't always manage to reach 1200 calories and sometimes the foods I eat aren't the best, but I do what works best for me, as…

I eat around 1,000-1,200 calories a day and have a 'cheat' day, usually once a week. I work out a lot and don't make up any calories for it, as I am trying to lose weight and it's working for me this way. I am doing this to lose weight but it's also a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. I am happy to talk to anyone on…
