I concur. While I do thinik there are plenty of lurkers out there. I also think there are those that are intimidated to post, even online. There are those among us that suffer from such low self esteem that they are afraid of negative comeents or rejection, even here. We are all here for one reason (albeit to varying…

Don't let the overall number of pounds you want to lose get you down. I want to lose approx 200 lbs. I just take it one day at a time. I have realized that I didn't put on all the weight overnight, and I will NOT take it off overnight. There are good days and bad days, but if you use this sight and are committed to…

I find the same thing happening to me. I always go with the Doctors weight. I understand your situation completely. I had a BMI of 53 when I started to lose weight. I still have a long way to go, but every little bit helps. Good luck to you.

You will find many supportive people here,p and some fabulous motivation. Every jpourney of 1000 miles begins with the first step.

I too have become addicted to MFP. I love all the encouraging comments and support that eveyone gives. It is also a way for me to keep track of myself. Keep up the good work and you will accomplish your goals.

I would try the pulled pork minus the bread and sauce. If the sauce is vinegar or mustard based you could have a little. Most pulled pork comes from a cut of pork shoulder. It is slow cooked and fairly lean, abt 50 cal per oz. Also try drinking a lot of water before hand. If also else fails just enjoy yourself, it's only…

When I am feeling funky or down I just go for a walk. I try to look at it as mental therapy, to clear my head not as exercise. After 30 minutes or so, not only is my head clearer and mood elevated but I have also exercised. A double benefit. It's the little things that help me.

I'm in. 3 week since my last trip to the drive through.

Boy can I relate to you and your rewards. Although I rewarded myself with a gym membership last week when I hit 350. Like you I don't want to be the fat parent. I am sick of being the largest person in the room, of having to sit at a table instead of a booth in restaurants, and worring about wether a friends patio…

Hang in there, I know you can do it. I quit smoking 21 days ago. I started quitting 2 months ago, by gradually reducing the numer of cigarettes every day. I did not use the patch, I just used a real strong cinnamon flavored sugar free gum. It made my mouth tingle, and it was a enough to help me put off having a smoke. The…

Hang in there you can do it. I am in the same boat as you. I want to lose almost 200 lbs. I have lost 38 lbs so far and I have not had nor do I plan on having the surgery. I say together we can make your Dr. eat his words. Some people can be so negative. Ignore them, they are not worth your time. Just this past thursday I…

I'm in. I wont be anywhere near my goal weight, but every bit counts. I'll start from my last weigh of 353lbs. So if I reach the 50 lb loss mark, I may actually try getting into a bathing suit.

Consider me in on this. I try to do this all the time but have not been as dilligent as I could be. It will be interesting to see what happens. Best of luck.
