I wish more people knew about gastroparesis, the comments on this may seem to have "good intent" but it can actually be quite harmful to those who are genuinely trying to seek help. Gastroparesis is a rare condition from damage to the vagus nerve for a myriad of reasons. Its name states exactly what it is... "gastro"…

Yeah, i normally eat whole grains for the morning and I actually ate some this morning but forgot to post, you actually reminded me haha. i keep up with that because the protein and fiber/grains are how I start stabilizing my sugar for the day. I have no time to make the middle of my day the largest of my meals. I actually…

I sometimes will overeat protein. What are some energy dense foods? It doesn't really matter if I'm hungry now or not. Sometimes in the 30 minutes I have to eat, I cannot eat a massive plate of food just because i need to eat 2000 calories a day.

Well, you are completely off as to what MFP has suggested. Which is the point. But, the even BIGGER point is that MFP's suggestion of ACTIVE is not what I actually do. And that, again, is why I've posted this.

I actually follow this pretty closely (aside from the caloric part). I don't try to eat excess sugar because I'm actually hypoglycemic and it doesn't help me anyways. But what I don't get, is how do I force myself to eat that much food? Sometimes that much food just makes me want to puke and I feel like just filling up…

That was my ENTIRE point of this post. MFP's not reliable on this, so I need guidance as to what I should be eating. I'm currently losing about 10lbs a week. It's not a complaint, but I'm concerned as to the rate that I'm shedding it. I stated that MFP's numbers DON'T work for me. If you do the math, you'll see that my…

Okay, I guess this didn't go as well as planned. If I were to put that I am entirely sedentary, my BMR is 1786, roughly. If I were to calculate my daily activities, I would be burning like 10k calories a day, which makes no sense. and I would have an enormous deficit. If I eat back my exercise calories, aren't I limiting…

Wow, thank you all for the support. In less than 30 minutes I received more support than I have in years. I'm finally serious about this but sometimes need someone to push me or hold me accountable.

Then I shouldn't get naked period, because it's for myself.

I don't want to have just flaps of skin hanging there, I'm worried about this with my stomach as well. I don't have very good elasticity in my skin, they're already a little droopy. I'm not worried about clothed so much, but I don't want to lose every bit of confidence when I get naked in front of someone for the first…

I became so big because of a lot of things in my life. I was molested when I was 6 or so and then for about3years ages 10-13, and beaten by my mom almost every day of my life from about 10-18 years old. I was raped 8 times in the winter of 2005/2006. I got myself in bad abusive relationships where I was put in the…

I (re)started Jan 25th and have lost a total of 15.1 lbs. Congrats on your weight loss. I can't wait to see what I look like when summer comes around. :)

Oh, and I'm in love with Hugh Laurie, Mike Krzyzewski, and Troy Polamalu.

So sexy.

Okay, so I guess I need to reiterate what I meant. I have a small chest, I've been had abusers in my life that told me no one would find me attractive until I had larger boobs and a smaller tummy. This is NOT why I'm asking this question, but why I feel that men don't find small chests attractive. I am worried that if I…

yeah but once it comes off, there's a lot of disappointment to be had. Hahaha.

But at least they didn't get any smaller, right? Haha. I've had a hard time coping with mine not growing, even when I was pregnant.

I realized I haven't looked like that in over 6 months haha.

@analehm a little like Tia Carrare

Adorable and sexy. So hard to combine. <3

@Wendilouwho - Amanda Palmer

Oh no, partly cut off. :(So sorry everyone

Charlie Hunnam & Johnny Depp & Seth Rogen & Adele & Kirsten Dunst & Claire Danes (okay okay last one, I swear) Drew Barrymore

When you're around :P

I'm terrified of short heights. Not heights in general, short heights. Like standing on a ladder or on a roof. See, if I'm on top of the Empire State building, and I fall, I'm not gonna live. However, if I fall from a ladder or a roof, I'll hurt myself and I have to deal with the pain or the wheelchair, whatever. So I'm…

Bump :)

HW - 350 lbs (approximately, was in a wheelchair so I knew only an approximate) CW - 208.6 lbs GW - 135 lbs 24 years old and 5'6'' (forgot this part!)

Walk around your house, but instead of taking steps, do lunges. Also, I have an article somewhere and I'll see if I can find it to show you, but do some scissor legs. Lay on your side, prop yourself up on one elbow, put your legs on top of each other, sides of your knees touching, and lift up the leg on the bottom for your…

Thank you so much guys! I'm currently at a plateau, if you can call it that. I just keeping fluctuating 2 lbs up or down.

Thanks everyone. I didn't realize how skinny I had gotten until I saw these pictures side by side. I'm feeling really good right now. :) it's truly an inspiration to hear that I'm inspiring. I've been feeling down recently and just got the cahones to post this :).
