The worst I've been to - was mine. Sadly. We had to move up our wedding because my dad got diagnosed with cancer that was far along and to be safe, we didn't want to wait another year. It's good we didn't, because he passed away 8 months later. However, outside that...it wasn't great. We wanted to get married at a park,…

I was a very active kid - we grew up on a farm, I played soccer, rode a bike everywhere, etc. Even still, I was always a little taller and a little heavier than the other kids. So even when I look back now and see I was fit and healthy, I still felt "fat" (5-10 lbs bigger is Huge when you're little!). I also started…

I understand this completely. It's not just my hubby, but my in laws as well. Don't get me wrong, I know that 100% of what goes in my mouth, IS my doing at the end of the day. But it is harder because of hubby's eating habits and the fact we don't have a lot of money to begin with. My hubby would eat out every other day if…

I have 150+ I'd like to lose - anyone may add me. It is a daunting number to deal with... *hugs to all*

I'm having to start over again myself....not a fun place to be, but I'm hoping to get it right this time around.

I started in a 32-34! Got down to 18-20 and then fell off the wagon and am starting back off at a 26-28. =(

Probably sprout bright purple wings and fly around.....since right now I don't think I'll ever get back on track and get there! =P

Bad. Laughably bad writing, all the way through. Every book. Yes, I said every book. I saw how bad the first was and I KEPT reading....lol. I kept thinking it HAD to get better, as popular as these books were. But IMO, it doesn't. It's insanely repetitive and to me, written in a more juvenile way than Twilight.

Ditto this! haha. You saved me from going and looking up and Christina pic - Defintely her body, maybe a bit more muscle. How far from it am I? Oh, probably about 140 lbs and an excess skin surgery. So. Never. But I can dream. :)

I'm 5'3" - Right now I have no idea really on a true goal weight. The last time I felt halfway okay about myself, I was a 12/14 and weighed 170 lbs. I wouldn't mind just getting to there and seeing how that feels. I have no disillusions about getting to 120 lbs or anything, because I don't believe I will with how I carry…

I broke a SODA habit (Mountain Dew or Vanilla Coke) and then I had to break a Diet habit as well. What I did was drink sparkling waters, something about something fizzy for me. *shrug* Now, I don't even drink soda, except on a rare occasion and I've happily found I don't even usually finish the ones I have! It just takes…

I just wrote a post on this the other day - Same thing happened to me, only worse....I had lost 140 lbs, I went off for nearly 10 months because of things going on in my life and gained 60 of it back. I'm trying to get back on track myself and back to the exercise, etc. Add me if you'd like and Good luck!!!

Feel free to add me if you'd like - I'm nearly 28 years old, and while I've lost 80 lbs, I've got over 100 left to go...I'm in the same mindset place in a way as you, if we're going to have kids I'd really like to be at a healthy weight before we do that. So I've got that on my mind as I lose as well. :)

I'm a Christian as well - Anyone can feel free to add me. I'd really enjoy having some Christian, God loving friends for support! It's such a big part of my life, I think it'd be nice to have some there. :)

I know what you mean - even worse, I take a fish oil, garlic and a cayenne pepper pill. lol. I just take them with my biggest meal of the day, after a few bites of food and let the rest go down after and I usually have no issue.

Thanks - I just realized I may have worded things oddly - I haven't lost 300 lbs THIS whole time around, I was adding up everytime I've lost and then re-gained over the past probably 7 years..... 140 lbs, 70 lbs, 50 lbs.....all total it comes up to over 300 lbs.

Thank you all again. Reading through this, this morning...really helped me to have a positive day and get my mind back where I needed it. :) I had a pretty good day. No exercise like I wanted, but I did eat well and get my water in....so there's a drop in the bucket!

I used to REALLY want 5 kids, 2-3 years apart each. But at this point, it may not happen. I really want to get down in weight and be healthy and feel better before I get pregnant....and I'll be 28 in September, so barring things just "happening", plan wise I figure I'll be 30-31 by the time we have our first. I always…

I'm feeling like that right now as I'm re-starting and getting back on track. I feel infinitely too weak to be in those situations and would far rather just be at home, where I can feel a bit more control over what's around me as far as food and there's less to tempt me. It's very hard around me because my in laws are BIG…

Thank you all very much for the support. It's really helpful actually to come and sit and read..... I'm up this morning and ready to have a good day. One of the only things I've got going for me is that I don't have to worry about quitting soda since even though I've been eating not so great, I've been making myself not…

I have been at least "chubby" most of my life. Granted, looking back now at the weight I was when kids started calling me fat, I laugh at it because I wasn't that big, I was taller and developed very early, not really fat. But, I've had the mentality that I was fat my whole life. How did I cope? When I was younger I…

I don't know if I'd use the word critical, but my mother and I weren't close because of some issues and she when I was younger had a tendency to be not the nicest with me. But she was more or less out of my life when I was about 13-14 and I was just with my Dad from then on and he was nothing but loving and supportive and…

Hope you guys don't mind...I think I sent all of you a friend request if you hadn't sent me one already. :)

*cyber hugs* to each of you. Thank you for the support. I get it from my brother, who is dealing with this issue of weight as well, but outside that I feel pretty alone. Considering I do tend to be such an emotional eater, I'm thinking that maybe with this new start I'll start blogging on here about my issues and stories…

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. It's been very hard for me to even get to this point to start again. I've been having just such a hard time with my "what if's" and thinking about how much weight I have lost overall, I mean to lose 300 lbs and still be near 300 lbs, is so ridiculous to me. I was so proud…

My 8 year old Blue Heeler/Shepherd mix is Gus. :)

There is none. It varies, person to person, just like having kids. Hubby and I got married nearly 5 years ago, after being engaged for a year. I was 22, he was 25. We had planned to wait another year, but my Dad got sick and we moved it up (the blessing was, he was there for our wedding and he wouldn't have been if we'd…

I'm in Littleton. :)

Well, growing up I got told I was fat. However, looking back I see that I wasn't. I WAS bigger in height and such than other kids, and I started puberty early and developed early, but I remember being told I was "fat" when I was the height I am now (5'3) and 135 lbs, and at the time I'd played soccer and rode horses and…

I understand. I personally never had oodles of friends growing up (ya know, the fat kid never does! haha) but I had a few and I gained a few as I got older. Then life happened. I changed...people moved away...My Dad got cancer - half fled then. I got married - a few more disappeared...Then my Dad passed away and that…
