Speaking as a diagnosed food addict, 1200 calories at this point would be impossible for me. I wish I could eat only natural, whole foods but just staying at 1800 calories is good enough for me! 1200 is the bare minimum anyone should go though, you need that just to keep your body going so I hope anyone eating that is very…

I am terrified of seeing 300 again but honestly since getting under 280 and I mean I am just barely under 280 I am horrified of seeing that 280 again. It took so much pain to get under that to get back to 280 or over would kill me!

Hi hun! I do have OCD and talk with my therapist about it! It affects me with weight loss big time because once I decide to try to lose weight that is all my life is about, I am completely obsessed and focused on that and its just really messing with my life. I end up getting really hard on myself, I definitely recommend…

Looking amazing!! Great job! Keep it up!

Hey all! I was 310 when I joined MFP I am currently 288 and struggling to stay on track! Could use all the support I can get so please feel free to add me!! We can support each other!!

You are looking amazing already! Keep it up!!

Thank you everyone for your responses!! I deal with severe depression and the therapist I see believe thats a huge part of all this.. I am OCD so I obsess on things big time and whenever it comes to me really wanting to lose weight it becomes the only thing on my mind and it is the only thing I focus on. She says I need to…

I know its different for everyone. I have the same problem. My hard time comes around 7:00 and of course thats the time I want to not eating anymore. The only thing I find that works for me is to just go upstairs to bed. I don't go to bed, I read a book, crochet, play on the itouch, play a game with my daughter, clean the…

WOOHOO!! I ended up doing just shy of 2 miles! My back pain cut me short by like 5 minutes! I pushed through 10 minutes more then I thought I could so I am really happy!!! Tomorrow I get an epidural injection in my back so I will actually be out for working out for a day or 2 so I am going to walk before I go and then will…

Hey everyone!! Thank you all for the friend requests and the replies! I did start seeing a doctor about 2 months ago. So far its a lot of trying to get the right meds and its still not working. I see my therapist Friday who is in the same practice with the psychiatrist I see so I'm going to talk to her and hopefully they…

You look AMAZING!! Great job!!! I seriously could just cry looking at all these photos!! I have so far to go but seeing how all of you have done it actually gives me hope that maybe one day I can get there too!

I recently started seeing a psychiatrist and talking with her awhile she said "well you know you have food addiction right?" and I was like well DUH LOL Duh to me cause I never realized I did but she said its more obsession.. I will sit and think about food all day long and if I let myself I will eat all day, hungry or…

I would love to do this.. starting next week.. I will do this.. anyone want to do it with me?? Add me as a friend please!!

I have all her books!! We have tried a lot of them and I would say have about 20 of them that are in regular rotation around here

Hi Everyone! I'm Tammy!! I started my journey at 310!! I am currently between 290 and 300.. I just can't get out of the vicious cycle of being stuck in between there. I would love to find others that are where I am at. Feel free to add me! I can't wait to get to know you all!

Sounds like you are where I am! Everything for the healthy BMI says I need to lose around 160-170 lbs. I honestly don't ever see that happening but I would be soooo happy with losing 100!!

I have well over 100 lbs to lose so if anyone is in my shoes please add me!! I really need to find friends in the state I am in to work on this with!

all I can think of is man those calories in the drinks.. enough to get drunk.. is more calories then you can eat a day LOL I feel so guilty when I have a glass of wine.. 180 calories in that puppy ugh

I love the chocolate ones!! I don't care for any of the others but those chocolate ones will kill my craving fast!

I want to see more of these posts!!! I am so lost for what to eat anymore. Its been a month and I am sick of everything and sick of planning meals.. its getting hard to keep going. How do you all come up with this stuff??

I feel your pain! I think for me its not so much the actual exercise its the pain I will get in my back and legs from doing it. But I have to power through it. I think the main thing is, which I know is hard cause you want to lose the weight quick, is to start out slow. Just do the bike one day, then do the rower the next,…

Welcome James!! I too am looking at a big number of pounds to lose, its daunting to think about but we need to do it! I would love to be friends with you.. we all need extra support!

Well I think I agree with what most people say, after you lose weight for so long you are bound to start building muscle, muscle weighs more then fat so that can cause your weight to go up. You could always try mixing up your workouts, try something new to give you a bigger calorie burn and see what happens

I feel the same as you! I have always been a big girl and it has held me back from so much! I am really tired of it, I want to be happy with myself and not hold myself back from things cause I am afraid of what people will think of the fat girl doing it, if that makes sense! Anyway I am going to add you now! I think we all…

Hi! I too need to lose over 100 lbs. I am 2 weeks into my new lifestyle change and I have to say its hard, its gets really tough to not just say oh forget it. But I know I have to do it and I WILL DO IT! I would love to be your buddy!

I have 100 pounds to lose so I am right there with you girl! I am soon going to start my diary (is that the blog right?) lol I am new to using the site. I signed up awhile ago but never really tried using anything here. I used to have a blog on blogger and it really helped me stay on track and I loved sharing my recipes.…
