Do I burn more calories reading silly posts on these message boards? Or how about when I answer the silly posts?

Wanting to be healthier is my sole motivation. Seeing the toll obesity has done to my health is scary. I love myself enough to get as healthy as I can. Perhaps you are young and feel great, think about how you will feel 20 years down the line and the havoc obesity has wreaked on your body.

I have never body shamed anyone, All my life I've been called horrible names because I am overweight. I would never do that to another.

The best advice I could give is to see a doctor. If you are still gaining weight on such few calories there might be a medical issue along with your eating disorder. I wish you the best.

I will buy new clothes in the petite department! I also want to ride a zip line again.

You can add me as a friend. I need to lose 100 lbs. Anyone else who would also like to add me as a friend I would be happy to have the support and to also lend my support. This year I'm taking care of me!

Congratulations and thank you for the inspiration!

Hi, I do lower body on one day and upper body the next day, alternating them during the week. Sunday is a day off. Your muscles need time to recover, well at least that is what I've read and it works for me. Strength training makes me feel great. Good luck Rachel

I was also in denial for MANY years. 20 years later my health is seriously at risk and I have to do it! Don't wait until your health is damaged. Good luck and you can do it!

I was in a plateau for 2 weeks and finally just lost 2 lbs. I think I wasn't eating enough and my body felt like it was in starvation. I measured myself though and I have lost several inches, so the scale is not always a good measure of your progress. Keep trying and you will get there!

Maybe you are gaining muscle.

Congratulations! That's awesome.
