I have a nonverbal 10 yr old daughter and let me tell you. Your not alone. It felt like I was reading my own story minus the 200 pound part. I'm still trying to make it to that point. I'm 324. A young mom whom has lost the spark. I didn't even realize it until I spoke with my doctor today. I have ankle and leg swelling a…

I am looking forward to motivating each other Lou. You seem like a lot of fun. I love dogs as well. But I have a big fear of cats. Why? I have no idea. Lol. I live in North Dakota. Which I guess is the coldest place on earth from my prospective....I lived in Georgia before. I have a mass amount of weight to lose as well. I…

Hi everyone. I am Michelle. I am have a BMI of 49. I started at 336.8 and I am at 328.4 today. I have been working to change my eating habits and lifestyle. I have lost a few pounds but over all I am still in the morbid range. I recently moved cross country from Georgia to North Dakota. I hope to meet other like minded…

lorarity I think I spelled the name wrong and I apologize if I did but my sister and her friends love to cosplay. They even go to BellaCon in Florida every year. My sister is really small and petite and they have one friend who is a plus size young lady and she always says she feels like the odd person out because she has…

Great job Nancy! I unfortunately have to use one of those treacherous machines each night. I pray that God gives me the will to help myself because I realize this is a fight no one can complete for me. I have to do it for myself. Thanks for all your inspiration.

scubasuenc, that's a great idea. I just went there to add. I will look into the group more and hopefully I too can celebrate one day that I drop the morbid. I hate that word it sounds as scary as it is. But that is life. If I want to lose the word, I have to commit to the change.

Massivediet good suggestions. I am looking into this and I currently go to physical therapy but I am hoping to work with her on exercises that can help me lose weight as well as ease some of the back pain I have. But I made several changes in diet and I guess my exercise regime needs to be just as vigorous as how I am…

Thanks Lou and No_Finish_Line. I love the biggest loser! I always get emotional watching though. Such a tear baby! I have changed foods and I think I am not active enough. Although I am more active than before it seems I still need to become more active.

Thanks for the great advice cuinboston, When the pounds started to come off from walking. Did you need to increase to keep the weight loss going or just stick with doing things the same as what cause the weight loss in the beginning. I have started to drop pounds, however, I don't know how to be sure that it will continue…

Thanks Shannon for sharing. I will try my best to keep focused on the end goals and not the current results. Great job losing so much. I will check out the blog.

zesty Italian I love it!

:drinker: Cheers, happy birthday fellow Cap! Here's to that sleeker body and more confident and healthier you the same time next year! My birthday is the 13th.

Kikkipoo, did you lose all of you weight naturally! Either way, way to go! I agree it takes courage to to post those pictures. It takes even more courage to love yourself even when what you see in the mirror is not at all what you expected it to be. I hope to one day not say I'm in onederland but I lost onederland!…

The really important people in life is all that matters. So smile at your body and relish in the fact that you did it and you had a supportive husband beside you loving you for you the entire ride!:heart:

I think that I may need to adjust my goal or add this as a goal as well. I'm in the 100+ to lose club. Weighing in at 332.2 I said to myself just yesterday. If I could just see 200 I'd be a happy woman. But I would love to be apart of this group.

I have been urinating normally. Not any more or less. Sometimes I lack energy but its usually the days I don't take my vitamins. I have a disabled daughter that keeps me pretty busy. But most days I have energy to make through the whole day. One doctors said that I have high blood pressure. But it was only elevated really…

[/quote] She will always be with you in a way but you can use it in a healthy way. You probably will never be completely happy with the way you look but you can use it to your advantage. [/quote] I agree, knowing is half the fight! It will definitely work out. I can see her mentoring others on the site about this once she…

[/quote] I don't want to become too skinny, but I am TERRIFIED of gaining more weight. Is this bad? I tend to worry A LOT about gaining weight and if I do gain a pound, I start to think I look fat and refuse to leave the house. [/quote] Try only weighing in once a week. To limit how often you look at the scale. Then amend…

JJMaritz. Thanks for that break down. I see now on the days that I am not getting all of the recommended water intake I am hurting myself in more ways than I realized. If the oxygen and water works hand in hand then I am really probably like you said dehydrated all along but never notice which is why when I over drink I…

Thanks that's a great assessment. I think I will call today to see if they can fit me in. I love the positive outlook on the dr. visit.

Thanks Edwardkim85, that explanation makes tons of sense to me. It reminds me of when I was in middle school and average size. My best friend was plus sized then and she always drank a huge cup of water before, during and after eating. I wondered if she was just thirsty back then or was there something else to it. But it…

Ready2Rock206 super cute tutu!

It sounds funny to say out loud, however, my urine is really light colored it's also like barely able to distinguish it from the bowl water. Sometimes I get in more than 8 cups of water, but everyday I get i. At least four guaranteed.

Nomeejerome, no but I think that I will make it a priority at my quarterly exam. Unless it is serious enough to warrant a visit sooner. I hope that my excessive dehydration isn't something terrible. Thanks to you and ms_erica for commenting.

half my body weight in ounces is a lot of water! Lol. I weight 330. If that is not motivation to lose weight I don't know what is! At this rate I will be full off of the water. :laugh:

Hi. I hope this helps, but I struggled with food for a long time. I was used to eating just because due to how my family chooses to celebrate anything. I would love to be your friend and encourage you and have you a source of encouragement for me! Coincidentially, I am studying to become a psychologists. I had to become…
