I'm only in nursing school, but you're all welcome to add me! I'm losing weight for my health and only have like 2 active friends. :)

You're taking the hardest first steps to change yourself, that's nothing to be ashamed of. I was 275 and lost 33 lbs. It wasn't much but it was the best I've ever felt physically. I've backslid a bit but I'm back on the right track now, and if you need a friend on here you can always come to me. It may help that we're…

Well, I wish you wouldn't judge my character based off of a paragraph in a forum post but I can't deny your opinion. Thanks for the feedback nonetheless, I'll remember it.

Wow, I'm glad it helped. You're welcome, and thanks for the support everyone!

Yesterday, I passed a fellow soprano from my high school choir and she did a double take. That made me so happy. :D

Single for 18 years and counting, woot woot! :drinker:

Well, what I did is I ate what they ate, but following the suggested serving size on the side or back of the box. If something said one half, I ate one half. Before or after, I would drink a ton of water. Water has been the key for me, really. It helps your body flush impurities from your system so they don't stick around…

Thank you! As I said, I'm a bit too used to negativity. Sometimes I wonder why I'm not a bitter old hag... If I have kids, I won't make them follow the rule but I will tell them the story dad told me. He had a cousin that came to visit one Thanksgiving. That part of the family was rather well off, while Dad's were…

Thanks everyone! I'm going to have to remember all of this, it's a lot of information.. I actually rather like salad by itself, but I have an issue with the texture- for some reason if I eat crunchy food - usually onions and salad leaves - it triggers my gag reflex, no matter how good it tastes.

Mine are that way too! Dad always insisted I finish my plate, and if I wanted one more mushroom before finishing but still had a side of potato left, I had to clean the entire plate before i could get more. (Though I've heard his story behind that rule and I honestly don't blame him) Thanks for reading, by the way.

Very well done! I lost 5 and have lost an additional 24 lbs since then. Add me if you like, I'm full of encouragement. :D

Aw, thank you. :)

Oh wow. I shudder at the thought of all that oil. ._. Thanks. It's tough but so far I'm doing well. Sometimes I think they were working against me.. never had I been bought so much fast food and milkshakes as when I first began my diet.

That's what I thought. But I know what being bitter does to a person, so I forgive them. They're only trying to show their love. :) Thanks. I like that phrase... though I pictured myself trying to wave off a gun that had been super glued to my palm. xD

Again, I thank everyone for every bit of advice. I've been able to think of quite a few things I need to mention to the doctor that I might not have thought of on my own. I'll run it by my sister, too, before going. Ironically, she's going to school to be a nurse.

I will. Since I don't know all of the rules of this place, do you know if I would post a reply on this thread or make a new one in this topic or is there a better suited one? Thanks.

I'm eating around 1400 a day, so I don't quite think it's that but I'm definitely going to see one.

You're fine. They're a normal as ever, though they're not normal periods. You're very pretty, by the way.

May I ask what a B12 is?

Thanks. I'm going to go to the doctor as soon as I can.

Thanks for all the help, everyone. I'll have my sister help make an appointment as soon as she gets off work.

I didn't think it'd be that much cause for concern.. Now I'm really worried. I don't have a doctor (the reason I posted here) but I'll do what I can to get one.

I'm only 18, but I promise I'm not as airheaded as my fellow teenagers. :) I'm new too, so anyone is welcome to add me.

I've had my account for a while, and let me just say that the tracking helps a ton! I never realized how much I ate in a single day until I began tracking it and watching how many calories and such that I took in. Good luck! If you need any encouragement just message me. :)
