The left is from May 2012. The right is from a couple weeks ago. Maybe a ~60 pound loss around then.

I've only skimmed through the comments, but I saw a few people mention how "it's just a photo!" or "everyone knows it's photoshopped!" etc. etc. I think it's important to consider that most of these photos tend to be on the covers of magazines accompanied by articles like "how to get so-and-so's boobs" or "how to get…

I'm pumped (no shame \m/). They are the comfort food of music!

Not sure if any of this has been mentioned yet, but just the fact that people seem so skeptical of calorie counting! I was at this school get-together a couple of weeks ago and this girl was whining about how badly she wanted to eat a cookie but couldn't because it was too unhealthy. I'm sitting there eating a cookie…

Hi there! I started at 320 back in August and am now at about 262. Not sure about UGW but I'm also aiming for around ~180 and taking things from there. Feel free to add me :)

ooooh...right now, probably Girls by Marina And The Diamonds and Shove It by Santigold.

I have a terrible time with moderation and consequently try to avoid keeping chocolate bars on hand, because "just one square" turns into "just two..." which turns into a lot more than that! To satisfy my chocolate cravings, I recently bought a box of hershey's special dark chocolate cocoa powder (I was very skeptical…

Ohhh, okay, gotcha!! I hadn't seen your other comments, but you're right. :3 Sorry for the confusion, haha. It's late and I'm tired and honestly shouldn't be allowed near the internet right now.

Okay – I'll admit the smoking comparison was not a very good one. My bad. That said, I don't think it negates the fact that fat-shaming is not good. I've been shamed for my body most of my life, so I have a solid idea of how it is for me (though I'd hate to speak for everyone). I agree that people have the right to watch…

Congrats for quitting!! And the more I think it through, the more I see your point about the similarities. I suppose, at the end of the day, there are few bad habits that don't go unshamed in one way or another (though I still think it would be great if we could learn to mind our own business).

No, I've never been a smoker, although my parents have both smoked my entire life, and I've never witnessed them being shamed for it, even when they would smoke around me and my brother, etc. My extended family let it slide because they all smoked too, and so on. Perhaps it just happens when I'm not around. Who knows. And…

Honestly, any shaming is bad. Fat/skinny/whatever – it's bullying, and it's not helping anything. I don't know who in their right mind would try to justify fat shaming. Being fat is unhealthy! It's bad for you! In reality, a lot of things are bad for you, but we rarely go shaming habits such as smoking – how often are…
