  • I am interested in a Biggest Loser competition. Is it all "big" people like us, or anyone on MFP?

  • Happy to see all the tips!! I am a member of a gym...love to swim, but have developed some sort of allergy to chemicals in pool, so I itch like a mad woman after swimming. I am considering swimming again, anyways, for the benefits of the exercise rather than the side effect of the itching. I have horrible back pain 100% of…

  • You all are doing so good! Keep it up! My goal is to hit under 390 by New Years. It seems small considering I am at 391.6 and holding, but I haven't been under 390 in many many months. Hoping this board stays active...I need a place to come and be motivated!

  • Thanks. I guess I need to look at it more positively. What can I do to turn this around? I had a birthday lunch today, and a planned meal out tonight with family. So...I planned ahead my meal. Was happy...still had 242 calories left...until lunch. I forgot to add birthday cake to the plan, and ate more nachos than I was…

  • I am the same size - 4x/5x 32ish...but maybe if I knew how much I needed to lose to get back to a 28 and fit in "normal" plus sized clothes like Lane Bryant...I may be more motivated!

  • 1. drink a large glass of water before every meal--no excuses! THIS IS IN DIRECT CONTRAST WITH BARIATRIC SURGEON RECOMMENDATIONS/REQUIREMENTS. THEY SAY NO DRINKING 30 MINUTES BEFORE A MEAL OR 2 HOURS AFTER A MEAL. MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE THE STOMACH POUCH IS SO SMALL AND IT WILL FILL UP? 2. don't drink your calories THIS IS A…

  • Hey, all. I also noticed it's not too active but would LOVE some activity. I NEED you guys. I NEED you need you need you...get the point? I feel like the newbie here, but would anyone care if I started a weekly challenge post and we can check in each day there?

  • I am new here, but was wondering if the weekly goals thing was a regular post or not? I think it would really help me out! This post was for last week. I think if I were to start this week, my goals would be simple: stay within calorie range (2160 according to MFP) and to do a WATP video, STTO video, or go swimming at the…

  • Hey! I'm Sheila from Illinois. 34 years old and STUCK at around 390. I've been TRYING for so many years. This year, I go down 5 and up 5 but pretty much stay within the 390 range. Was so happy to weigh in this afternoon at 387. Makes me sick to think I am this big though. Would love some friends to help motivate me, as…

  • I am also in that boat...have been struggling around 390 for months...I lose 5 lbs and gain 5 lbs...it's a never ending cycle. Was thrilled to be in the "lose" section this morning - 387.2. Hoping the trend continues. Please....anyone wanting to add me in the same boat, I encourage it! Most of my "friends" are either not…
