Project much? There's an awful lot of armchair psychology being applied to woman who isn't even here to discuss what she said...

I don't understand how everyone can assume the best friend meant it out of spite or jealousy? I also don't understand why everyone is assuming she is giving up. Maybe her goals are different than the OP, but is that really her being a quitter? I don't want to weigh what I did in HS. Lowest was 98 lbs. Highest was 140. I'd…

I know how your friend feels, and I'm guessing she didn't mean to drag you down, she's trying to be realistic with herself. There is no way I'll fit in my high school clothes, my body has changed too much and it most certainly wouldn't flatter me to try and wear those styles anymore! I hope you and your friend are able to…

I forgot to specify that I like the Raw Pure & Simple line of Better Oats. Homemade oatmeal for me usually involves plumped raisins or cherries, a dash of almond extract, a sprinkle of brown sugar, and made with vanilla soy milk.

I love oatmeal, and I usually eat Better Oats brand oatmeal. I love the cinnamon plum flavor, and their apple cinnamon oatmeal is really nummy too! They have flax seeds in it, so the texture is interesting and the flavors are subtle and rich. I've lost weight consistently, so the oatmeal hasn't killed me yet. Given my…

*Warning: off-color humor ahead* Stop dating Chinese twins? :happy: Honestly, I have no clue, but now I'm watching this thread, because I want to get rid of mine so bad and it is just as stubborn as me!

Usual: 6" Wheat turkey breast, no cheese, olives, pickles, peppers, spinach, onion, maybe feta if they have it. Vinegar and black pepper. Treat: 6" Wheat sweet onion teriyaki , warmed, no cheese, same veggies - minus the feta cheese, easy on the sauce. I don't understand the bit about their meats being unhealthy because…

I have curves, I am obese, and I happen to live in a 3-D world. My behind and my bust curve posteriorly and anteriorly, respectively. I hate this idea that you can say something horrible about a group of people just because you used to be a part of that group. "All poor people are just filthy lazy whiners, and I can say…

Well, I just came back from shopping for milk and produce. I bought 7 items for 25 dollars. They were: 1 vidalia onion 1.5 lbs red grapes 1 lb carrots 1 lb rutabaga 1 gallon 1% milk Pack of snack crackers and cheese for the wee ones for behaving on the 30 min trip and at the the store A bunch of 6 bananas How much canned…

If you are looking for suggestions on breakfast, I have a few: - bagels, with your choice of toppings....butter, nut butters, preserves, cream cheese, regular cheese, even thin shaved ham or turkey breast - toast with above options - oatmeal, cream of wheat, or grits... - Cold sandwiches - yogurt with granola, or added…

Oreos sold in the EU and abroad are NOT vegan. They contain whey powder. http://www.oreo.eu/oreo/page?siteid=oreo-prd&locale=uken1&PagecRef=633#ans07 Amen to all the "taters are bad" reports. It's dumb what people will demonize. Recently I overheard a woman telling another woman that organic vegetables had less calories,…

I want to visit some of the markets near some of y'all, because the nearest farmer's market is 30 miles away and has a 25% price increase for less than stellar produce. The only CSA is organic only and costs half my food budget . Like I said before, it is geographic and situation dependent.

Actually, like all things diet and health related, this varies widely depending on the family/person and their situation. Eating healthy IS expensive here. I live in the country, buy my food in two week chunks, and cook for 6. This means a lot of bulk product and produce is NOT something that can be bought for the next two…

I love a lot of the stuff mentioned previously...calf fries, cuttlefish, rabbit, cottage cheese and pepper. I like smoked baby octopi a lot. Also, I got this from my mom: cooked elbow macaroni, milk, ketchup and black pepper. Yum! It's comfort food to me. Bbq on my scrambled eggs is the only other thing I can think of. Now…

Hello and welcome! :flowerforyou: I'm fairly new here myself, and I'm positive and motivated. I need to lose between 75-100 lbs as well. I'm on almost every day. I'll send you a FR, and anyone else is free to send me one as well. Good luck and have fun on your journey! :happy:

Thanks everyone, for your advice and experience. I've tried with shoes on and shoes off, so I don't think it's my shoes, but I am getting a new pair anyways, so I'll see if that helps. I wonder if I have the same problem as Pspedal and roberta65. The numbness is in the opposite side of my sciatica, so I might be…

Sometimes when I don't log, it because I ate mostly homemade food that I can't accurately count the calories of. I know it's fairly healthy (I made it!) but short of measuring everything to the last drop (which is not how I cook) and typing it all into a recipe calculator, then to estimate serving sizes...I know I ate…

I agree with what everyone else is saying, and wanted to add that sometimes, being fat is comforting to folk. I was that way for a while. It was easier for me to say everything in my life sucked because I was fat than it was saying I had to woman up and start changing my life. I was also afraid of attention I'd get if I…

Lol, I think you look great in both pics. :flowerforyou: Different aesthetics, y'know? And great job! You're inspiration for me. :happy:

30 F 247 lbs Pants: 22-24 depending on brand Shirt: 2x for most, 1x for certain cuts I carry most of my weight in my stomach (thanks, kids!), with an ample behind, but in a good way for the tuchus. :) Chest has shrunk a little since I started losing weight, but an ample chest helps balance the belly out a little, lol!

I haven't had my tubes tied. My mother did, and she laid around the house for a week after griping and moaning about the pain. She's a bit of a theatrical woman though, so I don't know how much was about the pain and how much was about sympathy. She's had assorted female health problems since then, and while I can't think…

I drink Silk Vanilla Lite Soy milk. I love the taste, and I use it in my protein shakes. I can eat cereal again too! I have heard (no I don't have time to hit up Google Scholar :D ) that some women with a certain history of breast cancer should watch their soy intake (something about phytoestrogen increasing…

Rolling in the Deep - Adele I don't know why, this isn't my usual style of music. Heard it on the radio, and now it won't go away!

I can't function without breakfast. I often wake up hungry, and if I skip breakfast for whatever reason, I'm so hungry and tired by lunch that my willpower to eat right disappears. That said, I don't eat a full spread each morning. Breakfast for me is juice or coffee with a bagel or maybe a bowl of oatmeal. I eat on the…

I was thin as a kid, and thin as a teen. My hips flared out to a size 12 once I hit menarche, but I was 100 lbs soppin wet. Then I packed on a lot of weight out of high school, took meds that caused even more weight gain, worked bad hours and made bad choices for health. I don't know if I'll ever reach my HS size again,…

Lol! My Husband actually prefers the Toast 'Em Fudge flavor over the Poptart brand. :) He eats a 3200 cal day. Poptarts are the least of His worries. :D

"200 Calories 5 g of Fat 140 mg of Sodium 17 g of Sugar I can't believe people are saying they are good for you. :(" I know! Sure, you can eat a pack for breakfast, and with a juice, you've used the typical breakfast cal allotment, but how much did you eat? It isn't a lot of food for the calories. :ohwell: That said, some…

I know I can pick up Sunflower Butter and Almond Butter at my local Target.

I really like sunflower butter, with a dollop of honey. Yum!

And by respect you mean never asked any questions by anyone not perfect, or have any advice given to you from a medical professional you don't approve of. Your belief, that people should not be thought badly of because of their size, is completely contradicted by your very own actions. You attacked that nurse on her size…
