Just type in google this: "65 kilo to pounds" and you'll get the answer :)

good luck!!! you'll do great!!! it's awesome with all those clothes you once thought it was impossible to wear now not only fit but also look amazing :)

wow! when I looked at the first pic I didn't think you looked too overweight but when I scrolled down and saw the second one my jaw dropped wow what an achievement girl!!! you look great! Please take care and keep those deppressions at bay (as they can play evil tricks on your progress), consult a professional if…

I'm going to buy a sexy nightgown! those made with tulle and lace you know :P that's one thing I never thought I would ever get to wear and I want to wear one before my youth ends! oh! I'll also buy a bikini for next summer if I don't have much extra skin hanging from my ex belly pouch XD

I know that feeling! Well done :D one day soon you'll be buying all your clothes in all those stores you haven't dared to get into until now XD and you'll feel overwhelmed with all the clothes that fit you and you'll spend hours trying on stuff and choosing what to buy keep up the good job!

I was put on a diet two times before this last time in my life. Those first two times I was put on a very strict diet that didn't focus on making me learn new habits. It was very restrictive, I felt hungry all the time and wasn't exercising enough (compared to what a normal person should exercise per day). So I lost a lot…

I wish I could help you with the lab numbers and your endo! I just wanted to say I can relate to all you say, I hope you get things sorted out! I'm in a similar situation but I have to deal with public health service doctors so there are no options for me except waiting until my next yearly checkup. Don't get discouraged!…

I understand the unsafe part in relation to potential serial killers, thieves, and pickpocketers. I've been feeling less safe lately because I'm tinier than i have ever been since high school. But the positive part is that i am confident that nothing bad will happen to me if i act sensibly and avoid unsafe situations. As…

Describing what my life is now (in comparison to what it used to be) would take a lot of space since i had a lot of weight to lose!I almost achieved my final goal :) i'll try my best to sum it up. - i don't get stares any more - i still have trouble finding clothes my size (european size 40 seems to be the most popular…

I'm glad you found what the potential issue is! I hope she feels better soon :) And to the person who said that cats can't eat tuna,ham or olives... Thank you! I didn't know that and my vet never told me not to give him any of that as a treat. I'll have it in mind in the future :)

When i first started dieting i was put on a 1,400 kcal diet. I had to plan my own meals depending on my cooking skills and according to the foods i liked. I started eating lots and lots and LOTS of veggies, and it was hard to get over 1,000 kcal a day. That was until i got MFP and a food scale, and stated measuring…

Argh! hepatic lipidosis! That's the term i was struggling to remember,thank you for mentioning it.

No problem! As someone else said, liver failure (that's what i meant,sorry for my bad English) is not fun at all, i had to spend 15 days force feeding my Simba every two hours, like a baby. It's probably not the case,but after what i had to go through (and my poor kitty,RIP) i can't help but saying that she should be seen…

I haven't tried zumba but any aerobic dance would do wonders and be lots of fun! The elliptical is also a great choice! To me a gym membership worked better because idon't have enough discipline to workout at home :) if you ever want to join a gym you would be surprised at the amount of people who are therento lose as manu…

You need a good supporting bra! Also, try to stay away from high impact cardio until you reach a healthier weight, you can ride a bike, walk on an incline ona treadmill or outdoors and if you find the right bra you can do some aerobic dance classes. When i had 44 pounds to reach my goal weight i started doing body combat…

Peanut butter is something we don't eat here in Spain but i recently gave it a try and i wish i could eat it more often. I don't like it alone but i love it spread on bread slices with banana. Oatmeal has been my obsession since my last trip to the US (i had never tried it before) I have it every single morning! I'm in…

Yep, be careful with that you might need to up the dose of the medication but only your doctor can do that for you. Eating soy products might not do any harm if you have them ocassionally but if you do it on a daily basis it can lower the absorption of the drug. Should you eat some,let it be at least 5 hours away from the…

I tried melting it in a sandwich and it didn't melt very well. It tasted the same but remained quite solid, the spanish version at least

Twinketta, i assumed you were a guy for some wrong reason XD if you see her in the locker room you must be a girl xD sorry fir the confusion. Maybe she showers at home, i never shower at the gym. Maybe you can use some excuse to tell her that she smells bad, like saying that her clothes aren't smelling too well (instead of…

A headache can be an indicator that something is not doing well in your body. Congrats for not letting it get on the way but you don't need to punish yourself. If one day you're not feeling well enough then it won't set you back if you decide to stay at home or say, go for a walk. Listen to your body, there will be days…

I gave them all to charity. Fortunately, C&A still sells the same jeans i used to wear when i was obese, so once i reach my final goal I'm going to go to the store, pick one up and try it on in the fitting room. I'm planning to take pics to keep them as a reminder of how i was like. I just kept some nightgowns, but I'm…

It's hard to say anything without hurting her feelings. Are you sure her odours are due to lack of hygiene? Maybe allergy to deodorants, or some kind of infection 'down there' or whatever? I wouldn't say anything unless the smell makes it unbearable being around her. I would open my mouth only if i was a very close friend…

Do not let the cat pass more than 12 hours without eating. Cats are prone to getting liver disease if they don't eat for long periods of time, or so I was told by my cat's vet. That's what happened to my cat but he had diabetes and that's what made him stop eating, he was in no way as active as your kitty is and was just…

Seville, south of Spain here :happy: hiiii :)

I live in Spain and here we live on a mediterranean diet, which usually consists in using almost exclusively olive oil as fat source for cooking or in raw recipes. My nutritionist told me to use just one tablespoon of olive oil for cooking per meal. That would be two tablespoons per day. If you're happy with your progress…

Great job!!! Really!!! Awesome!!!! You got a huge load of weight off your body!!! Don't you feel as light as a feather already?!? :)

Wow that's awesome!!! It's guaranteed you won't regain any weight then, and you won't have to struggle with large amounts of junk food in the fridge, since he'll keep you both on track. My nutritionist once told me that you end up getting obsessed with food sanitary safety, not just nutritional values, so make sure you…

A guy at the supermarket said 'wow!!! You're so tiny now!!!' And we don't even know each other. Seriously, i have no idea who he is, it just seems that we always go shopping at the same time every saturday and he hasn't seen me in some months so he was amazed when he saw me today. He was a bit embarassed because he let the…

Thank heavens i never got that "lucky" comment!!!! I always get the opposite like "wow you must be killing yourself at the gym!!!" People really don't want to put a shoe near the gym's door... Which i find funny and sad at the same time. But the truth is that you don't have to kill yourself at the gym to lose weight and if…

You got tons of replies and I still couldn't go through them, but I wanted to tell you that I can relate to your feelings. But, you have to know that unless you live on your own, you DO NEED the support from those around you, those who live with you and those who you trust in. That doesn't mean that you have to talk about…
