My hugest (is that a word?) downfall is pain. I have some major chronic pain issues that started before I gained the weight and has mounted up over time because of the limitations of having a broken back, fractured neck, 25+ Surgeries et al. A couple years ago I joined here following a surgery and was able to lose 100 lbs.…

Sorry that happened to you. It sucks when it happens. I tend to think the binges we experience from time to time is a direct result of being too restrictive and setting too many things off limits. It's the human condition it seems, to want something we "can't" have. I refuse to do that and it's not always easy. The more…

Ive left several targeted "groups" because of this type of thing here. Yes, Im over weight and yes I need to lose weight...and I will. What I struggle with here are a couple things. I have a lot of trouble coming into MFP, belonging to any group who has maybe 10 or 15 members who talk about virtually nothing except self…

They both look good....but the one piece isnt quite as good as the 2 piece. Do the two piece and rock that b!t@h like you never have before. But...the Mom in me has to say this.....CLEAN THAT BEDROOM UP AND MAKE THAT BED OR YOU'RE GROUNDED!!!:angry: :blushing:

Ive been working super hard at recognizing when Im hungry versus when I just wanna eat. So far it's working. I applaud you for catching the binge and stopping it in its track. Thats hard work all on it's own. What Im finding works for me is to literally stop and think how icky Im gonna feel if I binge...how badly I hate…

I keep pickles handy allllllllll the time. When a sweet craving hits I reach for a midget dill pickle or 4 :drinker: I find that kills the sweet craving that's going on and doesnt add calories or fat. It has worked for me for a long time and I love pickles anyway so it's a win win. I wish you much luck and continued…

oooooh myyyyyyyyy

Id love to be that thin. I have a bff that was down to 80 lbs at one point...she's 5'8. Anorexic beyond belief. I on the other hand am 6' tall and about 3 times that :sad: When I hear someone that is that thin and tiny complaining about being fat.....I think maybe if Id THOUGHT THAT WAY WHEN I WAS THAT WEIGHT maybe I…

UGH...this^^

I wanna add a sideways tilt to this thread. JASPER!! Thank you for creating such an awesome topic. Im a clothes horse..(no pun intended) Now ya wouldnt think that 'zactly possible for somebody that's been over 300 for 20 years would ya? Im also 6' tall ...long well muscled and defined legs "up to there" as the saying goes.…

We had a working lunch at work (go figure huh) today. We had ordered the very best pizza in town....my personal fave..thin crust vegie. OMG this thing is sooooooo good. And........I had a piece of a corner piece and left it at that. Everyone asked, noticed or remarked. Many asked if I was pacing myself >>insert raucous…

Today is my day 21 and rather than "Checking in".....I will be "Checking out" and leaving the group....or you can remove me, either way. This apparently isnt the group for me for whatever reason Im not quite clear on or privy too. I do wish y'all much luck and success with whatever you do and wherever you land. Be good

Hmmm...

GOOD GOD Almighty...........are you people serious? People, family? Friends? and no names have actually said these things to you? What the heII gives ANYONE the right to speak to another person in this manner? OMG Ive lost all hope in humanity just reading these things. I cant recall ANYONE EVER speaking to me in this…
-
^^^this^^^^ Just dont stop. Even when ya take a step off the ol wagon....realize it, accept it and get right back up on it. Doesnt matter if it's one day or 20.......GET BACK ON. You can and you KNOW it. I "fell" for several months and it sucked donkey doo...but Im back and rockin it hard. Will it happen again? I would…
-
I guess Id have to echo this. Ive not received any negativity and again, I think it's because those that know me know better and if they dont know me they dont matter. I wish everyone here great success in your journey no matter the reasons behind it.

I have big hands, long fingers and super long nails. ANY weight loss is apparent in my hands almost immediately. People always feel free to remark on my hands. I tend to "talk with my hands" a lot and it's kind of annoying to catch people staring at my hands. It's an ick factor for me I guess. I also notice a weight loss…

Checkin In. Thankful / Grateful for: Every single day and all that it brings.

I fell today too BBC. I caved to Gummi Bears. WTF was I thinking........the calories I can absorb and account for and counterbalance....but umm....aaaaaa...errrrr....ahmmm....the sugar was the killer. I didnt even eat that many but the point was, Im a freakin diabetic for gawd sake.........WTF possessed me? Im well within…
-
CheckCheck Checkin in...... A little warm outside with too much humidity and severe storms on the way. UGH Kept my calories low but did have a handful (<2oz of cashews)....vegies...a small salmon patty and some pickles. I caved some early this morning and started to eat a cinnamon roll.....but stopped and gave it to the…

I wont miss not being able to breathe. Ever since I had that mold infection in my lungs I havent been able to breathe good...or even normal. It has encompassed my lungs like a fishnet stocking and wont allow me to take a deep breath. BUT...after just more than 2 weeks Im seeing and feeling a huge change. I CAN and WILL do…

OMG I am soooooooo freaking impressed. You have definitely encouraged this incredibly cute somewhat chubby lady from Wisconsin to get her big *kitten* out there and walk.. but you said more than that....way more than that and my heart heard it. Like a lil whisper...an inkling....that says "she identified YOUR fear" and…

YAYAYAYAYA Blond....it feels kinda good when they say things like that. I kinda wish mine would say it a little more. ~sigh~

Ive been here a couple years. Ive lost more than 100 pounds and was / am doing good but........... I fell off the wagon as they say about a year ago and got LAZY. Yup.....LAZY...there is NO other excuse to offer. I picked up (said lovingly) about 30 freakin pounds. What an eye opener. However...it was an educational…

Julie....UGH Im trying here girl...Im trying. I keep checking in and reading but forgetting to post. I get up so freakin early, like 1--130a, almost every day and the days I get to sleep late Im up about 2--230 :drinker: I'll work harder at checking in..honest :sad: BBC...we are always so hard on ourselves. I sometimes…
-
RP...that is sooooo stunning. I love hearing about your progress....you are giving me so much incentive and encouragement and I dont think you even realize it:drinker: I have a couple little NSV I wanna share. I bought a new leather desk chair not to long ago and was disappointed that it seemed so narrow. NOT that I was…

Well...I had to come here and report back that we had a wonderful lunch with my sister and her husband. Lotsa nice chat and giggles even though the damn place was packed with a ton of people with really big mouths and no respect for other diners. What is up with that anyway? People laughing and talking literally at the top…

Karen...sorry you're feelin punked. Hope it gets better soon

It's Saturday...... we had an awesome shrimp and fish supper last evening and I still kept my calories for the entire day to less than 1500 (just barely) I should be doing house work......but Im sitting at my desk in my jammies, wrapped in a mink blanket thinking Im surely going to freeze to death. It's 54 outside and…
-
Sandy....it's ironic that you talk about wanting that stuffed, full feeling. I say that only because it's a feeling I absolutely freakin HATE!!! If I could find some way to feel like that after 2 bites of ANY food, Id have it made. Ive noticed it more and more over the last year. I avoid eating at holiday meals with my…
