I don't think that is cruel. I used to think that to myself all the time. It is the truth. I would be prettier if I lost weight. I have always considered being fat unattractive. It does make me less attractive.

That is not true. Most of the guys I know like women who are not fat but not skinny either, kind of right in the middle, or at the top of a healthy BMI. When I was 30 lbs overweight sometimes I would get looks, but as soon as I hit 200 those pretty much stopped and any higher than that I am not really noticed at all, not…

I agree. I think it is good to get a couple hours ( 1 -3 ) in the sun every day that you can. It will not age you. I think you have problems when you are spending more than that in the sun. My family lives in South Carolina and it has not aged my mom or dad or siblings.

I have not binged in several months since I started Myfitnesspal. I have had a few days where I ate at maintenance but no major binges. I think it is a blessing and I really want to lose the weight. Drinking a lot of water and eating more whole low calorie foods really helps. Making sure my calories are set at a…

I do this occasionally, and I feel so guilty for eating all of these dream sweets. I am so happy I did not actually eat the food when I wake up.

one, obese people need help not condemnation.

I would set it up at your mom's house. It is nice to have access to the program when you want. I just got mine and really like it.

For me ( even though I have a long way to go) being able to move with less pain makes it worth it. I have had so much progress just losing the weight I have that I can't wait until I get to goal. Fitting in smaller clothes is pretty exciting too. ( Not quite to the next size down yet but my clothes are much baggier on me.)

I like to look at collagevideo.com to find good beginner workouts. There are so many choices and you can narrow it down to what you want. I noticed that when I do the easier workouts I don't get injured. After I had my son I tried to start exercising again at the same level I was before I got pregnant and I injured myself…

Good job! You look so different in a good way in the after pic, but you were still pretty in the before.

I wanted to add that I have bought some of her exercise dvds for beginners, and they were anything but for beginners because of the many different exercises that could hurt an overweight/obese/morbidly obese person's back if they do not know correct form ( like good mornings and deadlifts). I have back/hip issues and have…

He was not getting on her being gay. It was her attitude/actions being gay and lying about the truth to improve her image.

I believe him. I never really liked Jillian Michaels attitude, persona, or training methods ( yelling at people). Her facial appearance has changed so much since the beginning of the Biggest Loser. She used to look so feminine and pretty, but now she looks so much harder and more masculine. I don't think her face would…

You did a great job! You look great in both pictures. I personally would be happy to be at your before size! I have a long way to go to goal.

I agree that thinner people are usually eating less food. I watched my sisters, cousins, mom and many other people who were thinner than me throughout my life and they ate so much less food than I did. They ate much smaller portions less often. I can put away a lot of food on a daily basis.

Calories in versus calories out does matter. I always ate what I wanted and I was fat. It was obviously too much and my body told me that regularly by having stomach issues. My sisters did not always eat what they wanted and actually ate much less than me and were not fat. They ate very small amounts and sometimes skipped…

I am so happy that you got to see your daughter graduate. That is such a special moment.

You know she is just jealous of your body.

I had a regular slice of fresh pineapple the other day and it used up about 100 calories and 28 grams of sugar which was most of my limit. I think the setting is too low.

No, I would not. My husband is very smart he got an MA in English and almost finished a Ph.D. in the topic as well. We like to discuss things a lot. He is an amazing writer.

My mom did the same thing when she adopted a dog. She still has the dog so her technique worked. My dad didn't like it at first but he usually relents after a while. :)

My husband always is willing to take care of our son so I can do school or surf the internet and have me time. He is really great about that. He also is very faithful and I am never worried that he would cheat on me. He is kind as well, not a mean bone in his body towards me.

Good job!

I have never opened a bloody egg. As for umbilical cord, I think I know what you mean, I think those are in all eggs. They seem to be in every one I open. It doesn't bother me. Occasionally I will get egg shells in my eggs. I prefer the egg whites I do by hand. The ones in the carton kind of gross me out, but they taste…

Ok. :) I will keep that in mind.

I have noticed. Not a Jackie Warner fan, but it doesn't seem like there is much variety in home video workouts discussed here. There are so many different trainers that I like better. I am not really a fan of either beach body or Jillian Michaels.

My younger sister never sweat much and one time when we were at universal or Disneyworld she overheated. After that she carried a fan with water to spray on her face. She was a little girl and got so red. I have never had that problem!

People sometimes say how good it is to ride your bike to work or school. I tried this once and never again. I was so sweaty and uncomfortable by the time I got to school. My face was so red. Who wants to be at those places so sweaty?

forehead, boobs and back.

I don't think you look pregnant in your most recent profile pictures. You just have some weight to lose still. Your belly looks pretty flat, though it does have some extra weight but not out of proportion with the rest of you like a pregnant belly would be. My belly is the same at 200 lbs and have extra weight. Even at 180…
