Thanks for the tips everybody!

Lol, anyone feel their blood pressure raising slightly while reading this thread? Geez! Hakuna matata folks!

I totally agree. Be nice people!! This game of weight loss is mostly psychological, I believe. If it were easy to be fit and healthy, don't you think more people would be?? The reasons people get heavy and unhealthy are widely varied and very complicated. I struggle with the same problem when I am around my friends. And…

"My thighs are so sexy they can't stay off one another". Don't know where I read that but I apply it to myself. :)

Please don't waste time feeling guilty!! That gets you nowhere. Don't be too strict, that is absolutely the worst thing you can do, and you will be setting yourself up for failure. If you eat very little you will just be starving and there is a much greater chance that you will overindulge again. Just focus on eating…

If the center offers water aerobics you might try a class....it's a blast. Good luck!

I have exactly 103 lbs to lose. Great job on the 40 lbs!! Would love to offer and receive support.

Just posting on here shows that you have made the decision to do something about your weight. I am also the heaviest I have ever been in my life and recently had a wake up call that made me realize I have to do something, now, or I too will die much sooner than I should. I would be happy to be your mfp friend and offer…

People can be cruel. Some people can be condescending or insulting without even realizing they're doing it, others are jealous and are struggling with their own issues, but whatever the reason, it doesn't hurt any less. Just have faith in yourself and your goals, and realize that there are many, many more people supporting…

I think it is most important to focus on health while pregnant, rather than calorie counts and worrying about every bite or ounce gained or trying to squelch every pregnancy craving. Eat whole foods and exercise daily, to give that little life the healthiest start possible! If you occasionally have an ice cream craving,…

Weekly. Varies too much day-to-day.

My boyfriend and I are both overweight, and over 3 years I have put on about 20-30 pounds and he's put on about 60. We still love each other and find one another very attractive. We are both approaching age 30, and we have made a commitment to lose weight and become fit. We're both nice looking people, both when we're big…

Hi Dan, congratulations on the weight loss! I've sent you a friend request. Good luck continuing on your journey!

Thank you for all the great tips, everybody! :)

Try wearing workout clothes that are extra absorbent. Sounds kinda silly but maybe try pinning a small towel around your neck while working out? Then immediately shower after your workout. Or maybe try using some of those Ban Refreshing Towelettes a few times during the workout. Good luck!!

I also would like to lose between 80 and 100 pounds. I've been on MyFitnessPal for a while now but haven't ventured out in the community too much, so don't have too many friends on here yet....friend me if you'd like! It's always nice to expand support systems. :)

My average binge consists of probably about 2000 in one sitting. This is after I've eaten all my calories for the day (around 1600). I try to eat healthily all day, and I don't restrict myself too much. So I don't know. This is why I'm so utterly disgusted with myself.
