I will tell you, as a morbidly obese person, the people at the gym don't care what you look like. Most of them don't even know you are there. If anything, they are silently praising you for getting up and getting out and moving. Do what makes you comfortable. You don't necessarily need to go to a gym to lose weight. I have…

food and some Christmas clearance at Target. I went in for a box of Ritz crackers. I spent $58 :#

I have this same issue at work!!

Inconsiderate people. I went to pick up lunch for the office. 5 bags of food and a drink carrier. There was a table of 4 middle aged men who sat there and watched me struggle to get out 2 sets of doors and not one of them offered to help me.

I think we really need to know more about you. How tall are you? How much do you weigh? Are you weighing/measuring your food? What is a "little naughty"? When you workout, are you lifting or just doing cardio? What is your intensity level? Do you wear a fitness tracker or HRM? Also, I would ditch the Slimfast. You need to…

Hi, please add me! I'm Sam. I lost 80 pounds, gained 30 back after having a major surgery. I have about 190 to go, but I'm on the way. Always looking for new and supportive friends!!

also I ate a mini candy bar today just so my calories left would not be "666"

My pants are too tight and I have to poop

have a beer (or 5) with!!

I like all the men. Pizza is a very close second!!

I will happily take all your "gross" PM's (Sarcasm)

It makes me sad that you are even asking this

1979

Started in a size 30 US, currently in a 20/some 18's!

accept!

LIES!!!!!!!!

I know I've gained weight, but it's ok because I've been lifting for 5 minutes and muscle weights more than fat, right?

Zoodles are DELICIOUS!! And so easy. There is a tool called the Veggietti (spelling?) and I think it's less than $10. I flash sautee mine in a pan with some garlic flavored oil, fresh pressed garlic, some salt and pepper. https://www.instagram.com/p/BAYGVA3iEch/ (edit to add link to picture)

My fave are Old Navy for sure! They have lots of bright colors and patterns and the sweat doesn't show. Good luck! :sweat_smile:

I am just now getting to a 3.1 or 3.2 walking speed. I started at a 1.5 at almost 400 pounds a year ago. I am happy to report I am down to 285 pounds, and I have completed 6 5k's since last summer. So, yes, walking works! Good luck! :smiley:

Sometimes keeping a journal helps. When you start to feel like you want to binge, write down what you are feeling, what you are doing etc. It can really help you identify your triggers. Try to find activities that hold your interest. I like to read, go for a walk, color, watch a movie. You are the only one who can decide…

^ this - it always makes me uncomfortable. I'm sure that the person giving the compliment is coming from a good place, but I don't feel like it's ok to comment on my body. I'm losing weight for my health, not for attention.

Thank you for sharing your story. It's nice to see real stories like this. You are absolutely gorgeous at 160!!

A pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same. Muscle is leaner, but it's doubtful you've built that much muscle in 2 1/2 weeks. Many other factors play into this; how much you have to lose, if you are eating back exercise calories, if you are weighing your food. I would invest in a good food scale (you can get one…

I have PCOS. I have been at this (seriously) for 8 months now and I have lost 77 pounds. I have not lost all stomach fat, it's impossible to target certain areas but I have gone down 5 pants sizes and 1-2 shirt sizes. I weight and log ALL my food. I cook once a week and package meals for the whole week; breakfast lunch and…

OP, I'm not trying to be harsh or disrespectful, but I'm not really sure what you are looking for posting this thread. If you are looking for someone to tell you that you're right, I think you're in the wrong place. I have been at this on and off for many years. I have lost 77 pounds and I still have 110 to go. I weigh ALL…
