See, saying it was going to be leftover for breakfast was always the excuse to get all that food for me. I knew it'd be gone, but it seemed better to pretend we'd have a whole pizza left. Don't get me started on Potato wedges - you just reminded me of those! I'd go to the deli at the store and get 2 lbs of them and eat…

Oh boy...this is just scary for me to tell anyone! You don't get to nearly 400 lbs without overeating and doing it badly. =( Let's see, usually I wouldn't eat breakfast at all - Unless there was leftover pizza or something like that for me to eat. Even at that, I usually never ate much. But I would start the morning out…

I feel your pain. My in-laws eat out 90% of the time and that's the only family activity that is ever done together....even when we're NOT planning to go out, it happens. And it is hard to deal with. JMO, don't skip breakfast, etc! All you can really do, is do your best at places where you can't check out the nutritional…

I think my goal gift will be just not being fat anymore! lol. I truly haven't thought of anything like that....But hubby did tell me the other day, that if when I get to where I want to be weight-wise, that if I decide it'd make me feel better about myself in the end, he'll figure out a way to make sure I can have the…

I was excited! I mean, it's amazing to know you've lost that much! I felt like I'd accomplished something finally! :) But for me, having so much more than a 100 to lose, it was bittersweet too because then I realized...I have to do this all over again...so it was like starting at pound 1 in a way too for me. It upset me…

Thank you guys! And just for the record....Today at Goodwill, tried on some 18's, and they are indeed still too small. =( It's my tummy and hips...Just too big still. However the legs fit fine and were comfortable...lol. My stomach and hips just don't know they're supposed to be a size 18 yet, so they've got to catch up to…

Ha, thank you! Maybe I'll try on some 18's today at Goodwill and see how tight they are! lol

Aw, thank you! Well, longer ones might look okay...but you notice I cut my legs off in the pic? lol. I'm having a hard time losing much weight or inches in my legs and I'm afraid they're still very sausage like....and too white for words and I've got that weird back-of-the-knee fat. So I'm a ways from feeling confident…

Haha, I understand your excitement. I haven't had the money to update my undies and at this point I'm pretty sure a family of gnomes could camp out in there with me wearing them. lol. Gotta be happy about "little" things like this!! WTG!! :)

Thanks! I know...isn't that crazy? I've lost the amount of weight that one day I might like to WEIGH. haha. I do notice it in my face...like 23 of my chins are gone and it doesn't look like I'm smuggling a family of small bunnies in my cheeks so much anymore. lol. ;) And I don't know about working my butt off, it's still…

I haven't noticed a whole lot yet. But I can say this - when I lost a lot of weight a long time ago (went from about the weight I am now, to what my goal weight is!) I noticed a little different treatment...just people generally nicer, more friendly, more likely to talk to me or help me. But when I started to gain all that…

Thanks and good luck! It's hard when you get so big to even start, so good for you taking that step! My former highest was nearly 300...which was bad enough, but after my Dad got cancer I ballooned up to 311...I lost about 25 lbs, and then he passed away in 2008 and I was destroyed and gained all the way up to 368. I…

Thank you. It's hard being so danged short! lol. I know I can do it...it's just fighting my mind more on the hard days than my body, ya know? I think like 70% of all this for me is mental.

I've lost 130 so far...My latest thread with photos is several posts down from this one, check it out if you want! :) And good luck...it is completely possible to lose all that weight naturally and without surgery and crazy methods!!

Rawr...double post!

Did a thread on mine the other day. :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/312942-me-in-a-dress-a-little-before-and-during-130-lbs-lost If I can lose as much as I have so far, ANYONE CAN!!! :)

See, the Papa Murphy delite pizzas are just what I was thinking of when I started doing the Flatout bread! I'm def all about a micro thin crust and lots of toppings. :) I like the Chicken Artichoke one and that's one that we get a couple times a year when we do takeout pizza. :) The cooking the flatbreads works wonders for…

I make my own version with the low-carb Flatout flatbreads, some all natural Victorias tomato sauce (no sugar and additives), a bit of cheese and whatever meat I want or I just pile it with veggies! I bake the "crust" off first, then add everything else and bake until it's melty and warm. For me, loving thin crust and not…

I don't do "cheat" days anymore. They were part of the key to my failure in the past. Cheat days often turned into cheat weekends and then cheat years. =/ My opinion and outlook is this. In order to be healthy and change my life, my eating healthier has to be a lifestyle change and something I will keep up for good. I…

I've gone from 368 and a size 30/32/34, to being in the 230's and wearing a size 22. I would have loved to have waited to buy clothes...but I couldn't. Stuff was falling off me so bad - I could pull up my pants while they were buttoned and zipped, and a slight breeze would blow them down - so that's my point. Unintended…

I completely feel you! It's ridiculous... My brother in law (and other in laws) has always sort of looked down on me because I'm bigger and he watches me eat at times and it's like he's watching a lion eating a baby deer...lol, with disgust. And I can be eating the healthiest at the table! But it's just because I'm eating.…

I'm from Colorado - We don't have accents. ;)

Great job!! My girls are sadly much deflated and I'm sure with another 70+ lbs, they're going to be all but goners. lol. I went from a 48 E, to now I'm just wearing a 38 regular sports bra. I just pulled about 7 bras out of my drawer today that have to be thrown out or donated...lol

Thank you. I really hope he is. I miss him so much....I'm still not over all the hurt and I never will be. But luckily I'm no longer locking myself in the house and trying to smother the pain with food. I really hope to make my little brother proud now! :)

I just posted a thread showing my Before and During yesterday... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/312942-me-in-a-dress-a-little-before-and-during-130-lbs-lost (can't repost the pics at the moment, so hopefully that'll do!!)

Thank you all!!! :) I know it's hard for me to see how far I've come...I just can't kind of imagine what it'll be like if I can get to Onederland and even better, when I can get to my first goal weight. :) What's working for me someone asked? Nothing secretive, or hard or special. I was a junk foodie...And I cut it all…

I just want to thank each of you so much for the sweet words and support and encouragement! I appreciate it all and it helps me more than you know to keep going! :) *HUGS HUGS HUGGGGS* It makes it seem a tad less overwhelming to think about another 70 lbs or more, to lose. lol. My "goal" is 170 lbs. Which is still heavy…

Oh I have been!! I've donated at least 6 huge garbage bags of clothes. The second something that I can't take in, becomes baggy...I donate it. Then those clothes aren't even around for me to EVER consider wearing again!!

Thank you everyone....So much. :) I'm sending each of you a *HUG* ;) Okay...the idea of me in anything that's not a 20-something size is just too good to sound true to me! I've been so happy lately that IF I wanted to, I can finally just go into Sears or anywhere and get clothes! I'm not, because I really want to keep…
