as I'm the millionth person to respond to this, i clearly didn't read all the comments and i dont know if the OP will read this but...this sounds similar to the situation between me and my husband. I'm 24, hes 30. we've been married for almost 3 years, together for 6. I have struggled with weight and self esteem issues for…

Ive lost 19 since february 1st. but I am working with a trainer and she kicks my assss so without her I wouldnt expect such high numbers.

Making a change in my life was long overdue. I have been unhappy with myself for a long time and always made excuses about why I kept gaining weight. That coupled with the fact that I married a saint who loves me regardless of what size I wear, and I just never felt a strong enough urge to make a change. Then one day I…

received: mark called, cant get the heat over 60. call him at 989-***-****. also, the parts came in to jonstone, ready for pickup.

cottage cheese. oatmeal. beans.

I dont know if all forms of insurance cover this or not, but a close friend of mine had gastric bypass about 5 years ago and her insurance picked up the tab for a tummy tuck. In order for it to be covered, she had to lose at least 100 pounds and then keep it off for at least 2 years. She just had the tummy tuck last summer…

I ran into a guy I went to school with and hadnt seen in years. We chit chatted for a few minutes and then he told me that he had a crush on me in school, back before I got fat, when I was still hot. He couldnt have been more blunt about it. And wedding dress shopping. I was right on the verge on being plus size (about a…

Im not sure why my less fat pictures aren't showing up....

Oh! And I wanted to be a member of the bangles. Still do.

As a kid I was told by my mom to be an opera singer, by my teachers to be a doctor, and I just wanted to be an artist. Now I'm a mother with my own baking business (sugarmama's) and I will start tattooing full time within the next year. I wouldn't change a thing. Although I would like to study neurosurgery.

@nikinyx6 - VERY cool car.

my husband used to have the absolute worst eating habits. he wouldnt eat breakfast, would wait to eat until he was 'too hungry to wait for food to cook', then would drive through mcdonalds and pig out. then usually follow that up with pizza. and he would carry around 2 liter bottles of pop. and he works third shift so on…

THANK YOU. good luck to you as well!

haha! a very warm welcome indeed! nice to meet you sir. :)

I honestly don't remember what I set my weight loss goal too. I think 2 pounds per week, but I am only 5'3, and have 100lbs to lose. And I'm stuck behind a desk 10 hours a day. Does that make more sense for me to be at 1200? Another thing I took into consideration is the fact that I am still breastfeeding. My dr encouraged…

Im not calling people mean. I want the honest truth. I'm new to this. I have no idea what I'm doing. I came here for the same reason as all of you, and want the support of my fellow MFPers. I am not "stuffed" at 1200 by any means. I have a problematic relationship with food, and always have. All I'm asking for is insight.…

how do i post before and 'after' pictures? ive been taking pictures daily and its crazy how much different my face looks in just a month

Im in! CW:215 GW:195 I cannot wait to see the scale be back under 200. its been YEARS.

Another one I got from a guy friend recently. He saw an old picture of me (pre pregnancy, pre depression, 100 pounds ago) and said "It makes sense now. Youve always carried yourself like a hot girl". Uhhh......thanks for telling me I USED to be hot which explains my confidence in my now not-so-hot body?

So this was not directly intended as a compliment or insult but the other day my mother-in-law was at my house and looking through a box of clothes I had collected from friends to donate to a local shelter. She pulled out a small jacket and commented on how cute it was. I told her I agreed, that Danyelle (my friend) has…

i like mine cooked down with garlic, mushrooms, and onions, and then tossed with tofu shirataki noodles and a couple laughing cow spreadable cheese wedges. it comes together like a beef stroganoff but with VERY VERY low calories.

5'4" and 218lb- size 16-18 US

I think one thing you need to remember is that generally people only open their mouth when they have something bad to say.. We rarely ask to speak to someones boss to pay them a compliment, whereas we are quick to ask for their boss if we feel the need to complain. Same goes for seeing people in public. When a perfectly…

the 1200 calories is the number that this website generated for me. Im not sure how they come up with that. I will unlock my food diary (i thought it was) and hopefully that helps... and to answer the last question. Im NOWHERE near my goal. I am about 5'5 and 218 pounds. I would like to lose close to 100 lbs, and so far…
