last post... maybe a friend of mine just posted an OOOLLLLDDD picture of us on IG- to see where I am from there and the comments.. was enough to make me realize WHY!!!!!!

after reading and having some time to think about it overnight! :) I think I will just take things one day at a time

Thank you...my day turned busy but I am definitely appreciating the responses, encouragement and understanding so far. will reply soon :)

ok I know it goes against all your work and thought process so far but I know when im like that over two weeks I have a maintenance (go over) day... that means I eat at maintenance that day allow myself the extra calories and somehow a few days later im back down don't know why but almost guaranteed it shoots me out of my…

I love salad.. and if would eat them every day if I had time to prep all the goodies I like in it! and yes it fills me and no I don't feel deprived alternatives hmmmmmm anything really

that's weird, my husband did something similar and gained 10 lbs in a WEEK! he lost over 50 lbs in two months but darn 44 lbs in ONE month sounds like a lot- maybe he wasn't really telling the truth!

I cried because my dress was too big... I had to work so hard to lose the weight and they order the wrong size I ended up spending a fortune to make it smaller.. seamstresses are expensive! start looking into your options NOW

the sad thing is she probably has no clue.. youd be doing her a favor by telling her really

I have two scales one in the restroom and one in the living room... it used to make me binge.. and sometimes I would get upset but now I just give my scale the finger when it tells me something I don't like and walk away determined to keep going until I can say "ha ha scale, im down' this is silly I need the scale to keep…

heck NOOOO!!! I am going to enjoy my bday weekend. I dont believe in cheat meals/days but my bday is this coming monday and I plan NOT to worry about calories and what i eat for TWO days maybe three... then i will go back on the wagon and i know i will because of the gain. Ive worked so hard i dont want to measure…

yah im trying to work on it... I don't really log the exercise tho because I just trust whatever fitbit says I should prob add the things it doesn't count like swimming or cycling or jogging with the stroller

I did in the last two weeks raise my calorie goal and feel like that somehow opened pandoras box or something... I felt like whoa I have 200 more calories....lets see what I can fill it up with! I was being a bit unhealthy and netting 900-1100 max on some days and most of the time I don't log my exercise so I can see this…

I don't want to look in my diary but im sure there is some truth to this

ok glad im not the only one... yes this seems like

wow AMAZING!!! good job keep it up.. our stats are similar but I was 358... I look at pictures and I just cant believe it! keep it up! we will get there soon enough! whats your goal?

^^^ yup what she said if i was doing intuitive eating i would intuitively get back to 358 lbs soon enough

lol Italian sausage... ive used that but in Spanish- Chorizo- thaks for the tip, yes that is probably a good idea, but id have to put in the pantry because that's where i keep the snacks! i know its not a good idea to keep snacks in the home but i rather have some healthy choices than resort to the vending machine at work…

Stick with it for your future self, do not screw her. ^^^^^^^ never thought of it that way! wow! thank you

thank you everyone again... exactly what I needed to hear today. One day at a time!

wow 80 pounds that's awesome! good job! i do feel like i will always be LARGE and considered obese. thanks for letting me know others feel the same... :)

THank you... aghhh im in tears! not bad tears.. just tears I realizing how hard this is and the determination and discipline it requires

I have a 6 month old and have already started thinking of her 1st less than 6 months away so I hear you... I would just say one of the reasons for me getting fit AGAIN- is for her! think of your son. and if he isn't walking yet he will be soon! youre going to need all the energy you can get and junk food, unhealthy food…

bahha... it was your wording don't take anything here personal there are some people on here that are quick to attack at anything they disagree with. before I got married I added these few changes along with my "diet" and exercise: adding cucumber/lemon/mint/ginger/chia seeds to my water- the chia helped me feel full…

^^^ SHOPPING!!!!! even if money is thight :) it would help me hehhehe and still keep you moving. I hear you I get really really heavy and painful ones. funny thing last month I got my first period after not having it for 15 months (I had a baby in Jan) and it came back full force probably worse than I ever felt.. on day…

people will always always always attack or be negative.. on these threads.. don't take it personal. I have toyed with the idea of IF 5:2 but it would be too difficult for me. the hubby does it all the time to get out of being stuck and it works for him. I personaly don't think its unhealthy, I used to do merely for…

no I hear you.... which is why I even posted the topic..... actually I gained 1.3 pounds and ive had a couple days where I was below my 1200 and didn't even log my exercise so the gain doesn't make sense... not that im defending myself but here are my two reasons anyways 1. If the scale is not continually moving down...I…

I really hope you are right....I keep reading on other forums and topics how bad and unhealthy it is to eat below BMR and blah blah blah... I feel like its what I need to do for now even though I realize its not sustainable long term

Thanks....good read :) Sort of answered my question!

though it may be effective, why should the OP even take it if she had success without it. and ^^^^ theres a difference between feeling like your chest is going to explode from the medication vs fast heartbeat due to cardio way different feeling. the OP will most likely NOT die from it and though the drug is prob ok to use…

have you ever taken it? that stuff makes your heart RACE- and man I wouldn't sleep for weeks. there is NO doubt it causes heart problems and even the side effects and drug warnings are clearly labeled on the pamphlet the pharmacy gives you.
