I think I have body dysmorphic disorder (just kidding, I know I don't actually have the disorder). However, I just don't see myself as fat as I am. I pick up clothes that are way too small for me and think they look really too big. It's crazy. Here is my picture from this morning (trying to look as skinny as I can). I just…

PIP - OUCH Katla - thanks for remembering me. Sue - please tell me where she had the vase made. Lanette, thanks, I think my new horse is beautiful. I've always wanted a smutty buckskin and I am a sucker for a bald face with blue eyes. They only reason I'm not keeping him is that we really want to get down to 3 horses. The…

The newest, biggest version of me. This is the horse I bought to replace the one in my profile (an ex-friend actually killed her on mother's day). I will be selling him though. I realized I had bought him while heavily grieving. It wasn't time. Cheryl North of Chicago

How much did you use to weigh before you balooned to 310?

I only got a 14 but I feel older than dirt. Cheryl North of Chicago

I'm old but I'm in. I'm at 192 and want to be 155. It's been five years since I've been 155. I'm 58 years old. Just started the Mediterranean way of eating. Was 198 a week ago so it's already working.

Wow. Just WOW

Thank you. I will check it out. Yes, my brain is older than it should be due to the amount of trauma it has suffered. Also, I will be going to a Brain Health center that is supposed to give me a list of preventative measures.

Well, y'all are still here. No matter how often I leave and come back, this message board is still going. Well, I am back again. Fatter than ever. But this time eating right has nothing to do with losing weight. I discovered that my brain is way older than I am. If I want to prevent or slow down dementia I need to get into…

Wow. Just Wow. I feel like a first grader. Don't have time to read it all so I look for the pictures. Thanks everyone for the design suggestions. Lenora went above and beyond. To the person who asked, my little mare is a registered paint although the only color she has is a lot of chrome.

Lenora - I got a new rug - better? (We will eventually paint the walls). Also I thought I'd throw in a couple of pictures from this weekend's ride. People used to like to see them. Cheryl in NorthEastern IL

Hi Everyone. The sibling pictures are great. It's interesting how much larger families were back then. No wonder spankings were popular :wink: Yesterday I got new furniture and I am told I now need to paint my walls since the colors are so close. What do you think??

Mary: Can't help but wonder how Sam survived his childhood with all those girls. Probably a good thing he was the oldest.

Thanks everyone who welcomed me back. And yes, it is the same horse as the last time I was here. She is the short, fat, been there, done that mare I bought after I decided since I didn't bounce like I used to I need to quit riding the young ones. And since I only ride bareback I needed one short enough to get on from a…

Meg, you always and consistently called me Carol. But I always knew if you were saying nice things, then it was about me :)

By the way, how do I bookmark this so I can find it easily? Never mind, found it.

Hi, I'm back, FATTER than ever!!!! New beginnings. Who, on this board still remember me?? I live north of Chicago, am 57, have teenagers and horses. Speaking of horses, I blame the year I spent in my chair after my previous horse broke all my ribs on one side. No more excuses. I'm taking a new approach. I've only been…

Wish you luck. I was doing great last year when my back went out. I've been good for 3 days now. Finally got motivated.

Any advice at all. Everyone offers advice when I mention losing weight. Advice to do something different than I am doing. But wait . . . I have been steadily losing for 5 months - why do I need advice?

I'm still here. Honest I am. Missed the November board completely and now it's almost time for January. We started doing hospice care for my mother in law which lasted 5 weeks. She passed on November 25th and we just had her service on Saturday, so all of that has taken me away from communication. However, not from…

Wait Megblair - you're not supposed to refer to me as wessecg. If you can't remember Cheryl, I would at least expect Carol from you :wink:

Awww Katla, I'm sorry you lost a grandbaby. Hope your daughter recovers.

Grit, I NEVER diet in New Orleans. I miss the food too much not to try to eat everything I haven't eaten since the last time I was there. I'm going on November 11 through the 15. But I'm lying a little. I will try to avoid some of my fried favorites. I get it now, the obese vs overweight is per the BMI. I'm a 28 so I guess…

I am so looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow. There is a possibility that I will be in the 170's again. Since I was 181 4 days ago, and I have been perfect the last few days, I am hoping to see 179.8. Then I could say I went from the 190's to the 170's in 30 days!!! Cross your fingers. BJ - Welcome back. Michele - do…

So, I rode my little girl yesterday because no one ever rides her. She was insane. We jogged and trotted and galloped, everything but a walk. She was on fire. She was a blast. I had so many steps recorded on my fitbit after the ride and it felt like I'd actually walked them. Since my calorie count was so low for the last…

Yep DamitJanit, won't find a saddle under this old gal!!

Adorable kitties. I will be getting new kittens in about 4 weeks. They are only 2 weeks old right now. They were born to a feral barn cat. They will be my barn cats. Always makes me nervous because there are so many coyotes behind my barn. But they haven't caught my two barn cats and they have been there for 9 years. I'm…

Had to eat out for breakfast today and try to keep to my 20/20 diet. Ended up eating slightly more than usual (51 calories). However I was shocked to think of how much food I had normally eaten in the past. A 3 egg omelet with cheese, hash browns, toast, two slices of bacon and a glass of skim milk is around 1400…

Miriam: I don't know you or your story, but that sounds like really good news

You go girl!
