OP, Shifting the mindset of food intake is HARD and it can be overwhelmingly scary. I have well over 100lbs to lose and I have always been the person (before educating myself) that the mantra to weight loss was "diet, diet, diet". Eating over 1000 calories actually produced anxiety for me because I seriously thought "Eat…

I have been unable to sync food to BM from here and exercise won't transfer from BM since Monday! Hope they get this ironed out soon! *frustrated sigh*

OP, I am 26 yr old, 285lbs / 5ft 11in female that does 5Ks races on the weekends and training runs between 3-5 miles during the week. I started with the Couch to 5K training and moved on from there- slow internal training to get your stamina and endurance built up. Next year's goal is to run 5mile and 10K races with a…

bump for later... thank you!

As an obese woman in her 20s I want to offer my 2 cents. First off, it is not your fault she is overweight nor are you a failing parent. Your daughter is 20 years old and a grown adult so frankly you don't need to guilt yourself or her on the topic. My Mom brought up my size in HS and I told her point blank to not bring it…

bump! These look amazing!

I admit there's a part of me that wants to toss a little revenge in my weight loss as well. My ex is 6 feet under so "getting back" is not the reason but the memory of standing in sexy lace and heels infront of him and being told his upcoming raid on WoW was more important left a destinctive mark. I guess you can say that…

Its only lame to you if you do not like beer. I like beer. Dark beer. I have a Guinness Extra Stout waiting for me after my interview this afternoon. I wish Stone sold Imperial Stout in Texas. I cannot get my hands on this stout! Cruel World! :sad:

I do hope OP finds a solution. I am very happy that I will never have to deal with this situation. I'll take animals over children any day of the week.

I call it the Sugar and Fat Withdrawl Syndrome. It gets better. Plan your meals, cook at home more than eating out. If you want to eat out- do your research about what you can get that's healthy and where you can get it. My Fiance' and I will eat out at 4 places. Jason's Deli, Panera, Paradise Bakery, La Madeline normally.…

Okay maybe I am just the wierdo in the happy bunch but when I was 17 I had male friends well into their 50s. Did I date them? No. Did they try to date me? A few tried. I said No. Did I hang out with these friends unsupervised? Yes. Did I sleep with any of them? Hell no. We were friends. Frankly, guys were much easier to…

bump so i can play with it later :D Thank you!!!

Ladies! Go to Title Nine website! Let me tell you what I am a big busty gal and I got my running bras from there :) My girls DO NOT MOVE AT ALL! The sports bras are rates by barbells (more barbell more support etc) They stock sizes up for 44 and various cup sizes. This is my bad girl…

I have a gym where I work in a very blue collar manufacturing plant and hit it 3x a week to get my 3mi in on an elliptical. There is this one very obese lady who is in there too and is always in jeans and some Tshirt. It never fails that she pep talks to herself and shakes her butt to the music. Well, all of her jiggles to…

Okay I have to add some cents :) being in your wife's shoes. First off, congrats on the teamwork!!! Losing weight is difficult even more so when you are changing your eating lifestyle. It is easier when your loved one is right next to you on the same page. :) My boyfriend-now-fiance' and I packed on some weight while…

I'm a success! A whooping 280+ lbs of a success! Hahaha :) I started C25K back in August '12 and did my first race 4 months later. It wasn't easy but it wasn't extremely hard either. I would suggest getting the phone app (I think there are 2-4 different ones) My Fiance and I used different ones- mine pushed me harder…

Each person's body is different. I drink a little less and my weight is slowing coming off. My reason for drinking so much water, besides hydration for workouts, is that I LOVE the feeling of Hot Tea (and I'm addicted to Teavana for this). The warmth makes me feel satisfied and most of the time keeps me from snacking much.…

Geez I'm gone one week an they finally fix Fibit! YAY! Now I will begin to wear mine again :) This seriously just made my morning! :D

I graduated C25K a few months ago and ran my first race last weekend and my best time is around 50mins. Granted I'm 280+lbs so my time is a work in progress. First off, there are several factors that could be giving you bad workout runs. 1) Your health- you said you have been sick, that's a big deal to your body and not…

Think of it this way. You are showing others that even an "obese" person can run a 5K. Think of all the people saying "Nah I can't do that. Look at me." and You are showing them they can accomplish it as well! I am at 285lbs on a 5ft 11in frame and I am labeled Morbidly Obese. I hit my 3.1 run 2 weeks ago and have my first…

To the OP- I have had 2 Merinas. I will say the first time I had Merina inserted it hurt BAD! This was due to 3 factors though (for me) 1) Never had children- so nothing had ever been stretched before. TIGHT FIT! 2) I was tense and nervous. 3) I didn't take pain meds before the procedure. So that made the first time very…

My boyfriend is cooking this year and he goes all out. Frankly, we will have leftovers thru Sunday. I plan on running my 5k training runs today and weds for some extra padding room. I will probably run the day after if I can. However I am not even gonna try to count calories Thanksgiving Day. This is my one massive cheat…

Only been in a few relationships but I dumped a guy I was seeing after a few months because he drugged my wine and I ended up in bed with him. Only thing I will always remember: .......Him: "Is it in yet?"...... There was a pause and I started laughing so hard I was crying. Broke up next morning but I couldn't keep a…

"Thank God you were the naive kid growing up- you didn't get into any *kitten*" "Don't date in HS." "DO NOT room with the ultra conservative AoG b*tch in college. She'll start a witchhunt after her convertion plan fails." "Listen to your mom, she was right about everything." Just remember "happily ever after" does exist…

Sorry this will get winded.... Well I will second on the C25k program (now there is an app for smartphones too!) The C25k is all about SLOWLY working your endurance up. I am currently in the 280s/5ft11in and I am on week 4 out of 8. I love it so much I got my boyfriend hooked as well. I NEVER considered myself a runner due…

Gods, I need a drink when I read these types of threads!

I track weight usually twice a day in one simple phone app- just so I track my flucations with my new running and water intake. Nothing goes through my head on those. Tuesday mornings is my official MPF weigh in and I have a "Please be under _#__." moment :)

Yoru scale had died. Time to invest in a better one (aka a nice digital) walmart for $30 ;) You didn't gain 18lbs of anything- your scale is busted interally.
