I had clothes in my closet that I fit into when I was 18 (I'm now 29) that I never got rid of. Now I recently went through my closet and took out everything that was too big. Well if I had really done that I would have nothing left, but had to settle for the ones that didn't look to awful, lol. My "goal clothes" are now…

The thing I have found that best helps me in those situations is to completely remove the temptation. My roommate brought home chocolate cupcakes the other day and said she wasn't going to eat them. They sat on the counter for 2 days and to avoid letting myself go I put them in the trash. I've always had a thing about…

They don't necessarily "HATE" overweight people, they just don't usually see eye to eye. Obviously a thin person will not have the same interests or world view as an overweight person and therefore will not run in the same social circles, etc, etc. We as a society and as innate human beings tend to go towards the familiar…

I myself have lost 102 lbs and other than a little extra belly skin from having a baby and getting a few stretch marks, no. Extra skin comes from pushing your elasticity to the brink and it not being able to contract back to where it was. If you were significantly larger for a long period of time you will be more prone to…

Ruger P95 9mm is what I carry personally. If you are looking to do concealed carry a snub nosed revolver would be the way to go

Sweat is fat crying! Get off your butt and make it rain!!!!!

I get the exact same reaction all the time. When I tell them the honest truth "diet and exercise" or "move more, eat less" they look at me stoic and jaw droppped like it is doing the impossible. I even had a family member tell me "Well, that's not what I want to hear" as if a magical remedy that would cure all their weight…

Triscuits and Organic peanut butter.

I can stand next to someone who is the same height as me and almost guarantee you i will outweigh them by 15-20 lbs or more. People freak out when I tell them how much I weight, because their reaction is always "where do you put it?" Some of us have large skeleton structures and carry a lot of skeletal muscles. Not using…

I am big boned, 5'8" 168 lbs 7 inch wrist. I am in a size 10. I beleive if you are 220 and have a 7 inch wrist, you are not large boned just like your doctor said. Your wrist will be bigger as you are overweight, so as you lose it will get smaller. My bones protrude on mine, so I know it can't get any smaller. It is…

You don't burn sodium, but you can get rid of excess water weight caused by eating too much sodium. Dinrk lots of water and flush out the sodium, burning it, no.

Feel free to add me, I motivate and can give advice if needed

Losing weight begins in the brain, you have to tell yourself that the "monkey see, monkey do" thoughts in your head are not ok to go with the flow. When we as humans see a group of people especially mentors or peers doing something we migrate towards it and accept it as normal. You are no longer part of that group and have…

Make sure you eat a lot of fresh fruit earlier in the day to counteract the huge amount of sodium that is in the soup and then I say go for it as long as you stay within your calorie goals. My opinion is that obsessing about craving something will make you eat anything and everything to sessiate that craving but of course…

Did you wake up one morning miraculously fat? I bet you he answer to that question is no....This stuff takes time and will not happen overnight. An inch off your waste in 2 weeks is awesome! The scale hasn't moved for me in 4 weeks, but I have lost inches every Friday when I measure. Stick with it, it took time to get the…

EXACTLY!

I never said I was deciding what was or wasn't support, the posts that I read up until my reply were all to the tune of "you need to go to the doctor, your aren't measuring right, you are doing something wrong, YOU YOU YOU" To me that is not why she posted or what she was searching for as a possible answer. The problem…

I can understand feeling guilty if you didn't make the right choices foodwise, but skipping meals all together because you ate a salad or feeling guilty because you ate negative calorie foods is not a good thing. This advice is coming from someone who is always below her calorie goal. Go see your doctor...

My first thought would be that he is unhappy with the level of health he is currently living in and is uncomfortable with you doing something about it in fear that when you do lose the weight you will leave him for a "more attractive" man as the story goes. I would offer him the option of having the same meal as you are…

I am always happy to support or give advice where needed and receive support at the same time. The battle is never over! Anyone feel free to add me.

What happened to support on this site? Geez people, she is asking for help and answering to rebutal all of your "ideas". OP, I COMPLETELY understand where you are coming from, I have a food scale and measure and weigh everything that goes in my mouth and for the first 4 weeks I was on here I ate 1200 cals a day and gained…

I prefer turkey, but that is just my opinion, I don't eat pork at all, so when I have the alternative at a restaurant, I choose the turkey option.

If I didn't track my fruits and veggies, my diary would be completely empty everyday, YES!!

I love hard boiled eggs, but without the yolk, so much better and less cals

Google a list of potassium rich foods, but most raw fruits have a lot and when you aren't where you can get that type of food, I take potassium chloride powder made by now

THIS^^^ If you are looking for an easy way out, this is not the place to be. We are all doing this the right way and making a lifestyle change. Wanting a pricey and dangerous surgery just to drop 30 lbs to me just says lazy

Try a shoulder holster with a small 380 or revolver. Should get your point accross if you find it necessary, but isn't obtrusive. I carry and have a concealed carry permit. My gun goes with me everywhere. It lives in my truck while I am in the gym though.

THIS^^^ I am in control of what is in our office pantry. We put snacks out for patients, so when I go shopping I intenionally only by healthy stuff rather than crap. That way if I do get the urge to snack I don't have to feel bad because the available stuff is good for you. We do however have a bucket of candy for our jar…

You have to take it one day at a time! 13 lbs in a huge accomplishment, especially for 20 days! Don't cheat yourself. I went in 10 lbs increments, I knew I had 100 lbs to lose, but I motivated myself to get through each 10 increment. I weigh myself every day as well and I find it helps me to keep on track. I know how well…

So awesome for you! I can relate on the post pregnancy weight, although I only have one child it was hard enough. Props to you for fighting the fight and getting it done! Good luck on your next 10 lbs
