Joining MFP was the best thing you could do for yourself. Just having an idea about your calorie intake for the day was enough to make me stop eating junky. My first day of logging I was eating over 4000 calories a day! Congrats to YOU for taking the first step at a better healthier life. Just start with small things (eat…

It's hard for me to believe either! They don't consider it to be a healthy weight until I'm in the 150 range. I come across a lot of people with the same measurements as me but they want to be 120 pounds! That would be losing some organs for me. lol

Thanks everyone so much! I really do feel like a different person. The changes in my health alone have been worth everything that I went through to get here. My knees no longer hurt and I'm not always motion sick from blood sugar. Now I'm always cold, people feel closer to me when they hug me and even my hair has become…

Didn't realize they were so big! Resizing now.

The Cure Soon to be Coheed and Cambria. =)

I agree, I currently live in New Bern, North Carolina and I couldn't believe how everyone down my street and in the neighborhood were from Ohio! I am the only native of North Carolina on the entire block. (Not that I'm complaining. I love the business and development it brings here.) North Carolina is such a diverse place…

Donuts Today...since it's donut day. I'm a teacher and it's our last week of school. Students have been bring in candies and cupcakes ALL week long.

I was =) Age: 27 Height: 5'8 HW: 256 CW: 161 GW: 150 Please add me if you'd like some motivation and inspiration and NEVER EVER EVER give up on this journey. It took me 13 months to get here, just imagine where you'd be. =)

I eat the Special K protein cereal with unsweetened almond milk. My usual breakfast "go to" are Low Fat Ego waffles and turkey sausage. As many people have stated, it's all about moderation!

Reading over these comments are kind of disturbing. I would really consider seeing a professional. =/

Amen! I read the statement without emotion and didn't get the same internal dialog. These are people on the internet that you will never encounter or talk to again. I wouldn't stress it.

I had PCOS and Insulin Resistance. I started following a diet for insulin resistance called the "Link and Balance Diet." It taught me the proper way to plan low carb meals and portion control. I've lost 94 pounds in just over a year and I no loner have PCOS or Insulin Resistance and I am 100% able to have children. Just…

Why not ask about the position? Why not ask him why you're not being considered. Communication is key in any job.

Height 5'7 Age - 27 Gender - Female Highest Weight - 256 lbs Lowest Weight - 163 lbs Current Weight - 163 lbs. Goal Weight - 150 lbs. 13 pounds to go!

The first step of my weight loss journey was to change the way that I thought about food. Food is not love, food is not comfort. What actually changed my outlook on food was The Hunger Games. What a great post!

I eat a low carb, high protein diet. I'm also a school teacher and don't have a lot of time to prepare my snacks, especially when I'm teaching. Here are my usual "go to".... Crackers and Cheese (cheese sticks or laughing cow) Apple and Cheese South Beach High Protein Bars Atkins High Protein Bars - Almond Cranberry is…

I had an English muffin with egg whites and ham. Coffee too!

Those running shorts are amazing! I can find them at some places for $5 each. Best investment ever!

I'm cold ALL the time! Winter was almost unbearable for me because I was so cold. I guess having 92 extra pounds really makes you hot! Also, this isn't a bad thing but surprising...when people hug me they feel closer! It was weird trying to adapt to the closeness of a hug.

THIS THIS THIS!!!! Losing weight is a lot of mental work too! I couldn't have said this better. Lived and learned!

I'm addicted to the Keg Root Beer. Zero calories, sugar, and carbs!

I did water aerobics all last summer, three days a week. In the two months that I did it, I lost over 20 pounds. It was a lot of fun and you didn't even know you were working out! I'm counting down the days when it starts back again.

I only use natures own sugar free and prepperage farms whole wheat soft bun. The bun has only 17 carbs and I eat sandwiches on it. I've recently been obsessed with flatbreads. You get a lot out of a 20 carb sheet.

Yes, low blood sugar is horrible. Look up some symptoms of hypoglycemia. I even have horrible mood swings! And it's totally normal, your body is adjusting to diet change.

Don't look behind you lovely! You're not headed that way. =) The only thing that matters now is that you've figured out what you were doing wasn't healthy. You've got the rest of your life to fix it. Best of wishes and luck!

I get told this all the time. I think it's people trying to be polite about weight loss. I wouldn't read into it.

I use the Zen Labs C25k App and It's awesome! I listen to it while I'm running and it doesn't mess with my music.

New Bern =)
