I have always heard people say that weight has nothing to do with attractiveness and I tried to believe that. Even when I was at a healthier weight, I was attracted to a wide array of body types. However, since I have put on the weight, I have been rejected repeatedly because of my size. I've heard women openly make…

I actually gained a couple pounds while at Disney World in June. :ohwell: I have lost it since we got back and am currently trying to get more off before my next trip in October. No kids (well, actually they were teenagers) this time, just me and 2 friends. Plus, the room I reserved for October has a full kitchen; so,…

Agreed.

I have the same problem, except the close friends I have are all anti-social. Now that my childran are all grown, I find I have a lot of free time on my hands and no one to spend it with. I have been trying to put myself out there, but being a little bit of an introvert makes it difficult, especially since I don't like…

When we go to Disney, I always start out trying to eat healthy, but by the third day I am so caught up in just enjoying EVERYTHING that I stop worrying about it. It will probably be worse this time since it will be my first Disney trip under 300lb (hopefully; I still have a few more lbs to burn off). And yeah, you can take…

11 elementary schools (k-5) spread out between Pennsylvania and Alabama. 1 Jr High, 1 HS, 2 colleges. So, 15. And please don't ask me to name them. I was like 7 or 8 yrs old and only spent a week at some of those schools.

I love Disney! Going back to Disney World in June; can't wait. Hoping to lose at least 15 more pounds before the trip. This will be the first time I have been under 300lbs while at Disney. The last 2 trips I was over 400lbs and needed a cane to get around. Needless to say, some attractions and rides where uncomfortable,…

One of my feet would go numb after walking or standing for more than 15 minutes. The issue was connected to a pinched nerve in my lower back (actually right at my left hip). There was never any real pain associated with it, just a lot of tingling and numbness. Instead of walking, I went to the Y and started using a…

Awesome job!

I had noticed clothes not fitting and how bad I looked in a mirror/pictures, but I never cared about those things. What really kicked started me was when I had taken my teenaged children to Busch Gardens. That day was miserable for me, and probably not too much fun for my kids. I was over 400lbs at the time and couldn't…

Accordng to a Nutritionalist at he Mayo Clinic: "Drinking a reasonable amount of diet soda a day, such as a can or two, isn't likely to hurt you. The artificial sweeteners and other chemicals currently used in diet soda are safe for most people, and there's no credible evidence that these ingredients cause cancer. Some…

Yes. I actually ate at Wendy's today with a co-worker. I had a Spicy Chicken Go-Wrap, a small Chilli, and a medium diet Coke which comes to about 520 calories. Would have actually done better if I would had the Grilled Chicken Go-Wrap instead. There are a lot more low calorie options at many fast food restaurants than…

I know this thread is almost a year old, but I kept seeing the word 'diuretic' and I wanted to add my two bits; it may be helpful or may be rubbish. In fact, I am just going to quote a response to question posted to a Mayo Clinic nutrinionalist. "Question Caffeine: Is it dehydrating or not? I've been seeing ads that say…
