ive lost a guinea pig and a human head...yay!! love this!

I have never run before but envy those who do. I have wanted to do c25k but never had the motivation to do it....I think this group is it!

once found a dead baby mouse in a pack of crisps. Didnt stop shaking for a week. One good thing: I dont eat crisps anymore!

i feel exactly like this. EXACTLY! you hit the nail on the head. I am so insecure when out with my husband. I honestly think he doesnt care but im so embarassed for him we rarely go out :(

I lost 56lb five years ago on a 'diet' and gained back 98lb. Thats why MFP is so great because its about breaking bad habits so you are not dieting but actually jst learning to eat healthier. If this poor gentleman had the support we have from friends on this site maybe he wouldnt have gained it back.

This. Glad im not the only one.

Hi finally a group for me. I currently am 5'11@274lbs...my husband is 5'9@170lbs so as you can imagine I feel enormous next to him. We were both slim when we met 11 years ago but he hasnt changed a lb despite being 10years older than me and I have gradually put on over a 100lb. he says he's happy with me no matter what but…

even the small triumphs are big successes.....you have every reason to be proud and excited!

Im 30 from the uk and have been here a week. Lost 6lbs so far. You can add me if u want:smile:

fantastic results and your story was sweet and funny. You look great!

wow...well done to you.....and lol at your wife:laugh:

some great motivational stories here....I guess its pointless to lose weight and exercise and then kill myself with cigs. Perhaps its time i stopped making excuses and just give up.

thanks guys, i know weightloss is an excuse to keep smoking....I think i was kindda hoping that if i got myself in shape it would be easier to give up.:blushing:

lol, now im terrified:sick:

this is about par with my stationary bike:smile:

thanks guys :D i know i need to stand up to him on this but it sometimes helps to have people confirm what you are thinking. Wish id had this site before, you cant beat the support and motivation that comes from people in the same boat as yourself. i will do what the site says and hopefully he will come around when he sees…

:heart:

sent you a request....

u look awesome!! well done!!

:smile: last week 280 @5'11....currently 274........my goal weight would be about 175

you may not be able to convince them that what works for them doesnt work for you. When people find something that works for them they can be pretty closed minded to other options. But with or without their support you should carry on with your way and when they see your results maybe they will come around. good luck :D

http://www.barbellsandbeakers.com/2012/07/04/people-tend-to-overestimate-the-amount-of-calories-they-burn/ I personally dont eat back my exercise calories but i know that it works for some people and not others. Try both for a week and see what works best for your body. However this article above was very interesting and…

well done you look amazing!
