DYING

And there you go ruining this whine and rant page with genuinely positive news! How could you?!?

Thank you. These types of comments are extremely discouraging. I don't know who people think they're helping with this crap.

Unless you're in a relationship with some of the same eating habits as you, it's really challenging. I gained weight in my last two relationships: one was naturally slim and could eat whatever he wanted and never gained and ounce and the other was overweight and didn't care about what he ate. It is really difficult to be…

^^ Truth You have to have a passion for what you're doing, not just rolling through the motions.

(In before Olivia yanks this thread or you get shut down.) Hahahahahahaha All of the above.

Good for you!!! Congratulations on your success so far. Keep up the fantastic work. I'm glad we are friends.

You get it! Big *hugs* and way to go for hanging in there and doing things right. Even if you haven't lost much weight, I'm sure your physical health has improved drastically from before this process. I agree; it's VERY DIFFICULT to see other people speeding past you while we just troddle along, shaving off a few ounces…

I had intended it to be a neutral statement, but I find Russell Brand oddly attractive, so let's go with compliment.

I'm not stalled, I'm making slow, steady progress. It's just EFFING SLOW.

I will respectfully say you've got it all wrong. It's tedious because I've been at this for a year already. I've got over 120 pounds to lose, so while I've lost 40 pounds, it's only just a drop in the bucket. It is my lifestyle at this point, but doing it the right way is very, very slow and I'm still -- what's the…

Thank you for an opinion. It has been noted and will be filed under NOWHERE.

This is Beyonce at the halftime show. I'm can't really tell if it's been shopped or not but I'm leaning towards "not".

There was no point at all except to show some wacky, unusual images and people decided to attack my choice of wording. Clearly, things got way, way off base and if I could have deleted this topic, I would have.

Russell Brand?

Nooope, you can't hide the pretty. Stop trying. lol

Woot! BHM alert. :D

I was over 300 pounds when I started jogging (running is being rather generous) and along with all the other advice, my best advice is some compression clothing. You don't want to be bouncing all over the place, so top and bottom. A good sports bra is key and some tight biker pants under whatever else you're wearing helps…

I'm not running, this is just not the direction I had intended this thread to go and I'm choosing to step away from this. There's no point in continuing an argument about it and it really has no meaning in reality. It will not change my life if you think I'm obese, morbidly obese, curvy or full figured. None of this…

Exactly. And with this, I bow out. I couldn't say it any better myself.

Ok, well if you want to be absurd and completely not open to discussion, there's no point in even continuing.

The problem with obese is that is ASSUMES no shape whatsoever. Someone can be overweight and ALSO curvy (if we use the standard of boobs out, waist in, hips out). Someone can be average weight and also curvy. Someone can be obese and NOT full figured and someone can be obese and have a full figure. Obese is just a huge…

According to this mentality, let's call people with learning disabilities and lower IQs "retards". Why sugar coat that? Do you even hear yourself?

There are actually some people that have a fetish about women gaining weight; there's an entire subculture out there.

While you may view this word as just a technical, clinical word, it's perceived as quite offensive by many. Perhaps you are ignorant to this fact, or if you're not currently "obese" it's difficult to understand just how awful that word actually is. Please allow me to enlighten you with a quote from a friend: PandaPudges:…

ugh...

Seriously, it's just a word. Who gives a crap? Calling yourself "full-figured" "fat" or "obese" doesn't make any difference in who and what you actually are. It's interesting that you see someone that is "obese" that calls themselves "full-figured" as not doing themselves "any favors". What do you mean? Should they loathe…
