I doubt it. I quit Match because apparently, if you're over 200 lbs, you don't date.
-
Single. Want to be taken though, don't we all? :)
-
Congratulations on your success! You're an inspiration.

Don't beat yourself up & certainly don't give up. Even though low carb diets really help people drop the pounds, being too carb restrictive can be almost unrealistic for most of the population. So keep up the good habits you've established, but allow yourself to have a pancake every now & then. It's only when we're having…

Great job! Very inspirational!
-
Thanks so much for sharing your story, you look wonderful! There are many of us here on MFP who need to see stories like yours each day, as we have the long journey ahead of us to shed 100 lbs.
-
Amazing results in just a year! Very inspirational for those of us here also trying to lose 100 lbs.
-
Amazing job! You really do look a lot younger in your after pics too! (This is motivation for me, thank you!)
-
Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. Your transformation is amazing!
-
Amazing! Your story has really inspired me. I too came from an abusive family. Have also been hurt by friends, I'm sorry you've been through that with some of yours. But if they're not supporting you to be your best & happiest, then they aren't true friends.

Amazing! You look great! Thanks for the inspiration today, I needed it!
-
Congratulations on your great year! Your story is one I needed to read today.

You should only lose weight for *you*, for your health first & foremost & also to feel confident in your self. You deserve better than this guy. His comments don't show any concern for you or your health. Instead he just seems to want an arm trophy to show off to his family & friends. The best thing would be to find a guy…

Amazing job. You're an inspiration. I want to do the same thing in 7 months. :)

TGIF! What's Friday's topic, fitness? Well I need to do my elliptical tonight. I did 30 minutes on Wednesday, didn't do any last night. So the plan is to do at least 30 minutes tonight after work. @Shrinkrap, thanks for the advice on the carbs. I didn't quite make it through a week of Phase 1 on SBD, just too carb…

Hi again, I haven't had the chance to post since joining back in over the weekend ,but I have been logging my food each day at least. I will try & post on this thread daily so I can keep up with everyone's successes here. Your successes really do help motivate me! This restricted South Beach Diet phase 1 is just too carb…
-
I'm thinking that SBD is too carb restrictive for me after trying it for a few days. I have felt sick on it the entire time. I have dropped 5 lbs (pretty much fluid) in trying it, but I've been so sick, weak & had a migraine since Saturday that this morning I had some carbohydrates with breakfast. I'm going to try & maybe…
-
Your weight loss journey is an inspiration for me. Thank you & congrats!
-
I am trying it. Today is day 1 of Phase 1 for me. I'm a total carb & sugar addict & I'm now insulin resistant as a result of many years of eating too much refined sugar & not enough protein. I also have a lot of weight to lose but I'm determined to change the way I eat.
-
Hi, I'm not sure any of you remember me but I'm back after a few months away (I was here in the fall, October). I fell off the motivation wagon. I still have over 100 to lose. In fact I restarted my entry weight this morning by deleting my fall entries (I'm only 4 lbs less from where I started when I joined MFP anyway). I…
-
I've not been good lately about logging in, I'm sorry. :-( And my Thursday Truth is that yesterday I was *really* bad & had chicken lo mein & an egg roll for lunch. Such a lunch is soooo not allowed for my protein & carb balancing. I've been depressed lately, very worried about what the future holds. When I need comfort, I…

Monday check-in. Didn't do too well this weekend (had Arby's Saturday & Halloween candy yesterday). I think it was the stress of prepping for this storm. And still waiting & waiting & waiting for it to pass! (Slowest storm ever) Hope everyone else in its path is safe & doesn't endure a lot of damage. I did lose 2 lbs last…

Thanks for sharing your success & before/after photos. You're an inspiration! Congratulations!

Friday Fitness. Well I haven't done much this week, thanks to working longer days Monday, Tuesday & yesterday. Did do my elliptical Wednesday. Besides prepping for this Sandy storm this weekend trying to get all my laundry & cleaning done before we likely lose power, my exercise plan is Friday 60 minutes elliptical…
-
Doughnuts. Definitely. Store-bought, glazed, jelly filled, Bostom Cremes, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin, you name it.
-
@MyMOWMOW, I hope your cat is ok. Thursday truth--I'm totally not committing to my exercise goals. I did manage to do 30 minutes on the elliptical last night, but I'm supposed to be doing 60 minutes of cardio per day, that was my goal since just keeping below on calories doesn't help me tremendously in weight loss. I…

Hi again, I've managed to log in two days in a row, yeah! Wednesday wish, that all of my pants in my wardrobe would be the zipping/button-up variety, not the ones with elastic waists! Hopefully this time next year that wish will have come true. :) @Cath, I'm so sorry about your pup. My furbabies (the meowing kind, although…

Tuesday is goals day, right? My first milestone goal is to be under BMI 40 by the end of the year. When I reach that one, I'll figure out what I want my next goal to be. I tend to want to plan everything, but then I get overwhelmed by all the plans I've made. My other goal is to be more active every day. After 10 hours of…

Welcome 3smommy, love your avatar of you & your kids, adorable! I am working towards motherhood (hopefully) & feel the same way, wanting to be healthy enough to raise my future child or children, since I'm getting started rather late in the game. Good luck with your workout today at the employee gym. That's a great benefit…

Hello again everyone, Well I have got to get better about logging in daily & recording my foods & exercise. (Well at least I backtracked & put in yesterday's food today). Monday check-in I'm happy that I managed to lose 2 lbs at the end of this past week, despite all the once-per-month bloating and scale stand-still from…
