After losing 100 pounds in seven months, a coworker said, "It's really great you are losing weight sooo slowly. That way you won't look drawn and haggard." My stepdad said to my husband that I would just gain all my weight back anyway. Good thing he didn't say it to me. He'd be talking around a knuckle sandwich.

I've done both (weight loss and quitting cigs), and I commiserate. Quiting smoking is hard! I had to completely remove myself from any and all smokers. It was banned from the house. I quit cold turkey, because tapering down didn't work for me. I had to completely change all of my habits. I had to stop hanging out with my…

I heart this. And people who do not listen. As in, "When is the support group meeting?" asks dumb *kitten*. "It's the always the second Tuesday of the month. " Next month comes, same question. Really, why not just wave your middle finger at me because that is what you are saying by not listening to me the first seventeen…

Add me if you wish. My starting weight was 314 and I am now 183. I had surgery 9/2012. Surgery or not, we all have to work at it, and it helps to have folks around who understand how daunting the prospect of losing over 100 pounds can be.

Absolutely not. I am a FF cup and wear a sports bra with actual cups. My boobs wouldn't move if a hurricane blew thru town. Get thee to Nordstrom; they carry cups sizes to J.

You are going for a certain feel, so an exact reproduction is not necessary. The accessories can make the look. Think kitten heels, pearls (as the previous poster mentioned), a pale pink manicure, maybe a fur wrap or shrug (fake is fine and the thrift store is a great place to look), a sleek, small bag, black cat-eye…

Hello and welcome! Add me if you wish. Anyone here can feel free to add me.

For the third week in a row, I have lost no weight. On one hand, I could cry. But on the other hand, my clothes are a little looser, so I am not getting fatter. Although I have been a daily weigher, I might take a scale break until next week. Gotta keep chugging. Weight 183

Syntrax Nectar Sweets Cappuccino. And Quest bars--so many good flavors.

And this lady: Marijuana Pepsi. Yep, that is her real name. http://www.today.com/id/34641678/site/todayshow/ns/today-today_news/t/marijuana-pepsi-will-see-you-now/

Tsunami Rain ( I kid you not) Syriana (right after the movie came out) Magnificent and Glamorous (siblings) Jack Kanoff (say it fast if you don't get it at first) Rowdy (a toddler--he'll probably grow up to be an accountant) Atreyu (yeah, right from The Neverending Story)

@Ashkea76, go to Nordstrom. They carry bras up to J. I just bought myself a seriously supportive sports bra there. It has actual cups, because I hate the uniboob action regular sports bras give me.

I've lost 131 pounds so far and gone from a J to an FF cup. Nordstrom is the place to go for bras, FYI.

Hi Pat and welcome!:drinker: Any of you feel free to add me.

Hello and welcome! Feel free to add me.

I'm not a fat ***** anymore! As in, in traffic when someone is pissed at you, justifiably or not, and you are fat, the first thing they yell is "Fat *****!". That hasn't happened in a good long while, and no, my driving is exactly the same as it always was. And I'm not invisible, although how a 300lb woman can be invisible…

Yes. ETA: When I worked at a very large chain restaurant, the religious crowd were notoriously bad tippers and demanding to boot. Yes, I just painted a whole group of people with a very large brush, and there may be some who are kind, gentle souls who tip well. But that was not my experience back when the dinosaurs roamed…

Make one right choice. Each successive right choice is easier. And don't beat yourself up if you have a treat. I have small, planned treats on a regular basis. The key for me is planned. You can do this. Look how far you've already come.

Hello and welcome. Add me if you wish!

I heart this.

For some folks, feeding you equates with showing love. Just keep saying no. My coworkers sometimes forget and put stuff on my desk when I am gone. In the trash it goes. I don't even bother saying anything.

By the way, everyone that has something negative to say about this post obviously doesn't have a complex with calling themselves fat. But the POINT of the post still remains clear. I have never met a person in my life that has never said anything negative about themselves. The POINT of the post is to be kinder to…

Maybe people feel the need to say they are fat, or obese, or fluffy ( I don't get that one, but everyone can use the adjective they like), because society seems to demand penance from fat folk. As in, it's not okay to be fat ever, but at least if it is acknowledged by the 'fatee' then the very visible offense of being fat…

Hello and welcome . You've got a lot happening but you have come to the right place. You can do it!

Add me. I have 18 lbs to go
