woot

I have said that same thing to myself, so I'm not going to hold back in responding to you. Just fricking DO IT! Tell yourself NO! you don't need to eat that. Stomp your foot and get mean. Talk to yourself, holler at yourself. Never "should" on yourself again. I 'should' be doing this or that blah blah blah is NOT allowed.…

You're funny. If you are picking up ANYone here the good thing is you will get to know them on a very deep emotional level which I'm pretty sure most men aren't looking for!!! LOL Good luck, looks like you know what you are doing as you've had success before.

You are hilarious........Congrats on your success. That is awesome. Oh, and even though I'm overweight I don't have much of a butt so I've decided if I can't have a butt that sticks out much, it's gonna be the hardest butt it can be. To eat or not to eat? Oh yeah, eat! and workout.

Welcome, this is a great aid to help you reach your goals. Add friends a lot and encourage as you get encouraged. It is very helpful all around and there is some great information here too. The people are awesome!!

Thanks. Great info!! You are very good at this. And if many people don't respond, chalk it up to taking all the information in cuz that's a lot. Keep it up!

Wow, you look great

Yessssssssssssssssssssss back atcha. Good for you. It's gotta feel so awesome. I'm happy for you.

YOU KNOW WHAT!! Good for you!!! You kept trying everything, didn't give up (not really, obviously) and found your answer. Great job and thanks for sharing that.

Ah, that's great!! LOVE IT!

Congrats. You are a success and don't you forget it!!!

I'm replying to both of you. I suggest you get more friends and support them. it's very supporting of yourself when you help others. When I type positive thoughts to others I had to think of them first, and then I am actually saying them in my head when I type, and consequently I'm helping myself. I had someone suggest to…

Would you like to elaborate?

Nothing is unrealistic.........people here are great and will support you through thick :( and thin :). Pun intended! Welcome. Add me too if you like.

Same here for me today. Up .8 pounds. I've been working out more and trying to do more cardio and I went up!!! but I got on here and told everyone how bummed I was and I worked out twice today and ate good food and drank my water. This place is the place that I have gotten the most motivation in my life. My BF doesn't…

Okay, I teared up. You got me too. Just makes me wanna hug you and encourage you and for me and for all of us here. Introducing yourself that way is pure honesty and frustration with your efforts........Stay here and get ideas to switch up your food intake, timing, whatever it takes.

i guess we can. I think he looked better before and now he looks older. But I'm always thinking my age is working against me but if he can lose the weight at HIS age, I have no excuse. I do worry about looking much older after losing weight. Some people look younger, but I think that's younger people. Who knows; Thanks for…

Absolutely beautiful...

Welcome. This is a great place to get support. Keep accepting and requesting friends and keep asking questions and giving support and advice yourself, and you will benefit a ton.

I guess we just gotta know it ourselves. No one has said anything to me either......I've only lost 8 pounds, but I feel it. Revel in our victories and know that eventually people WILL notice. I remember noticing someone had lost weight only after they'd lost around 20 pounds and it just seemed like all of the sudden!!! she…

I just watched a TV show and the fitness guy encouraged people to weight once a day. It gives incentive to see one way or another how you eat that day. I only log once a week, and don't weight everyday, but this morning I got on and the scale is up a pound which, consequently, made me prepare more vegetables and less of…

I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I personally haven't lost enough weight to experience it, and of course may never feel that way, but I agree with the other post. Up your calories. Have something you usually don't have and bask in your progress and inner strength. Like my midwife told me: Push until you get on the…

Add me as a friend and let's do it!! My knees messed up (lately); my hearts messed up (usually); I'm not overworked but I'm underpaid!!! LOL, and I have more to lose than you.........Welcome.

At 140 you cannot be a plus size. That's ridiculous. You are "curvy in some areas more than others." That's a lot of syllables but I LIKE it.!!!!

I wish you luck too....................but i DO want to be skinny :)

That's awesome!!!

I'm sorry...........but your picture and your one liner just made me laugh out loud. You'll be fine. OF COURSE you feel fat after eating that..........and honey, 7 of them next time isn't going make you feel any better. I KNOW!!! get only one next time you feel like it and cut it up in 7 pieces and savor each bite.

You gotta steal some time from somewhere else for YOU. Plan your meals and make them ahead of time. You are important and you need to treat yourself that way. You have to eat more often and more calories or your body is going to hold on to its fat. I buy cut up veggies or have a 1/2 day that all I do is cook and chop…

B is for Buddies Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine compared solo dieters to teams of dieters. After 10 months, the latter were likelier to have maintained their loss (66 percent versus 24 percent). THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE! THANKS........

Maybe your body went "Hey, I'm not going to have to go into starvation mode cuz I just got tons of calories." They say that's the way to do it is to shake it up so your body doesn't get used to anything.......like so few calories. Congrats!
