I like sweetened condensed milk too. I discovered how good it was when I made refrigerator cheesecake with it. It is pretty tasty. I have eaten it straight out of the can.

I agree about nutella. How can a nut butter with chocolate be considered healthy? It tastes like fancy chocolate to me. I had it once and ate it very quickly, never again.

Peanut butter, brownies, cake, sweet and salty bars, any peanut butter treats, cheesecake ( refrigerated or baked), potato chips

Life can get better. I tried to kill myself when I was 14 or 15 and for a long time ( a good ten years) I hated my life and would have killed myself if given the opportunity. After I got married and had my son that gradually changed to the point where I do not feel suicidal at all and I do not hate my life anymore. I love…

I agree about the sweating thing. My main motivator is just to be able to move in the ways I need to and want to without pain or difficulty. I hate being limited physically. Also, I feel so ugly and ashamed of my body when I am getting out and doing things regularly. I do not like to look at myself in the mirror in public.…

I am an INTJ and I like MFP because I like logging and knowing what is in the food I eat. I do not really look at the graphs and charts. Also, MFP is free and a good source of data so that is a bonus. I like the forums. They are motivating when I can spend more time on them. I guess I am more utilitarian in my usage. I…

I think fasting can be very good for you. I just watched a movie about eating lower calorie and how it can cause you to live longer. He also talked about the health benefits of intermittent fasting. I have heard that from other sources as well, so I think there are benefits to fasting and/or eating lower calorie than we…

I got my new yoga pants and shorts from Lane Bryant online. I have gotten pants at Walmart before but they never last very long and usually don't fit very well. The shirts are kind of low quality too. I get shirts from KMart online. Not a lot better but they seem to be better quality than the walmart variety.

I would rather have the curves of my thin sisters and cousins than the curves I have being this heavy, honestly. Fat curves are not that great because I just do not do well when I am fat or gaining weight physically or emotionally. I do so much better thinner.

I disagree with the bolded part. I would be happy to be curvy in the best way I can be at goal weight. My husband always tells me how when I lose weight my curves start coming out more and he can see more of my hourglass shape ( to him). Even my boobs look better to him as I lose weight because they stand out more. Maybe…

Wow, you look really good. Do you work out a lot? I am pretty much the exact same size as you. I have lost quite a bit of weight in the past 4 months. I am not near as shapely as you though. You seem to be a very thin 288 lbs. I feel so much better emotionally already and I can actually move again. I am wearing a body…

I have. In the last few months I have lost quite a bit of weight (38 lbs) not eating clean. I try to be as balanced as possible with nutrients but I am not always great about that.

I have a cousin who is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and she works as a bookkeeper and has for years. There is no reason not to work just because you are pretty. I am sure she gets unwanted attention but it has never interfered with her ability to work.

You don't have much weight to go. Just aim for a .5-1lb a week loss. There is no reason to rush it. You aren't that unhealthy. Try 1300+ net to lose the weight if you don't have any medical problems.

I have the same response from cottage cheese. Something about it gets my gag reflex after a few bites and I don't usually have any problem eating things that taste iffy.

Hi, I am 28 and would like to lose 140 more lbs. I am not a great accountability friend though.

It's coke. My son says pop though.

Bachelor's in Religion with a minor in psychology. I hope to get a Masters in Counseling in the future. I am thinking of seminary as well. I love studying religion but I am a little weak on the social background to get into seminary.

I have cousins who are probably 5'6'' and around 145 lbs. and they look awesome at that weight. They do not have any extra flab. That is my goal. My sister weighs 130 and is 5'4'' and looks skinny, so I think I would look about like her in the 140's considering our difference in height.

My husband is my best friend. We became friends first and then got into a deeper relationship. For me sex flows from a friendship relationship. I have never really had any desire to just be friends with amazing guys. If they are so amazing that I want to be friends with them then I would probably end up wanting more from…

Nay, unless you really want them. There is nothing wrong with getting them. I think people look best with their natural breasts unless they are extremely flat chested so it is hard to fit into anything or get breast cancer and need boobs to look and feel normal. Fake breasts tend to look fake and there are risks involved.…

I would not want him to. I know men will look at other girls at times because they are men and it is natural, but I don't want to encourage my husband to do it. I am the only sexy girl my husband should be enjoying and really looking at. He is the only man for me as well. We say this to each other all the time. It just…

True, even considering that I was not eating enough like OP.

I have this problem too. I think I am going to need to plan in advance and get foods that are high in potassium. That is my goal for the next month. I have only been eating like 1,500 or something and that is not enough.

Some people think sneaking food is stealing but I don't think it is. My dad said I was stealing food when I was a kid. I don't think I was. We had an open policy about food. We could eat what we wanted when we wanted it so why would only some foods be off limits sometimes when they never really said it? I guess the problem…

I snuck food when I was younger. My dad punished me for it yet I kept on doing it. He also tried to get me to be more active when I gained weight, while I liked the activity, I think it made me feel embarrassed about my weight. I always felt ashamed to eat what I really wanted around my parents so I would wait until they…

I normally think of myself as pretty reserved and boring but I have done a few somewhat crazy things. 1. The second time I met the man who I was going to marry after meeting him online and just chatting and IM'ing, I met him by myself, flew halfway across the country to stay with him for a few days. Our first meeting was…

I don't remember ever really getting extra attention because of my boobs, but I have always been at least a little overweight so that may be the issue.

That is perfectly normal with bigger boobs. My cousin has bigger boobs (size D) and a lot of times shirts would kind of stretch too much across the chest and look tight or the chest area would be too small. She was only a size 8 at the time. It is just something you have to live with. I have the same issues even when I am…

I am very similar, except for the long hair. What about those people who gained weight in childhood? I don't think they are at the point yet where they are lazy. I think I gained weight when I moved away from family when I was about 8 years old. From what I remember life was really great before that. I was very close to my…
