Thank you! The 108lbs has been over about a 6 year time. I was down more but have gained back 35lbs over the past year and a half! But I think I got my head back in the game now. I'll keep pushing! I need to lose another 100lbs at least to get to my goal!

I wish I could say it's water or muscle weight. I used to tell myself that, but now I don't know what to think!

I feel the same way at times. Like I've lost a lot, but it never seems to be enough. I wonder will I ever get rid of my huge gut, thunder thighs, and flabby arms. I have a cousin who started about the same size as me and she lost about 200lbs and she looks much older than she is and sickly... like a bag of bones literally,…

True, I try to not focus on the scales so much, but it's hard. I was just curious because it always seems to happen. Thanks for the info!

I love that burgundy lace dress! You're looking great...good job!

Ok, that makes me feel a little better. I was fixin to be mad at the world today, LOL! I know I first started cutting calories with my drinks. I rarely drink anything other than water, diet pop, Crystal Light (or the generics), tea sweetened with splenda, or Low Cal protein shakes. That right there cut out at least 750…

6,000 calories in a day??? And you don't exercise??? And you are only 188lbs??? See this is the stuff that ticks me off. I have been eating under 2,000 calories a day AND exercising regulary for years and I can't even get under 200lbs, no where close!!! I really would like to know why is it that some people can eat so much…

Property management accountant... fun stuff!

2 1/2 years. I started working out on my own summer of 2006. Over a couple of years I had lost 80lbs then hit a plateu, then gained back 30. When I could lose anymore, I decided to get banded. I lost about 20lbs on their 3 month pre diet and about 10 on the 2 week liquid diet. I lost 70lbs since surgery, didn't go to my…

I was banded Dec 2009 it's not going as well as expected. I had a setback and gained 20lbs back and stretched my pouch which tilted my band causing acid reflux. They had to take all my fluid out about a month ago. I blame it all on myself, I didn't go to my doctor for a year and lost my "band" mind. But I don't think I…

I'm an accountant for a property management company in Indianapolis. That's my second job. My first time job is single mommy of two, lol! I have a third job, driving an hour each way to get to the second job, it's often quite a nightmare!
-
Yes, I notice a big difference, but I think a lot of it has to do with I smile more now because, even though I'm not anywhere close to my goal, I am finally happy with myself for accomplishing what I have, and I just plain feel better. So I guess my change in attitude just makes me more approachable. One negative side…

Not always true. I have a lapband so with all the work outs I do, there is no way for me to eat the calories it would take for me to gain weight (unless I'm drinking my calories which I only drink zero calorie drink, so that's not it either). And I have not lost anything all year. It's so easy for people to say, stop…

My body is doing the same thing. I have only been fluxing up and down all this year, actually at a 5lb gain right now, but I am continually losing inches and toning up. I've also stopped having periods so I think my issue may be hormone related. I go to the doctor in December and will have her check that out!

rash, it's nasty!

AMEN!!! :heart:

When I stepped on the scale for the first time in 18 months and it was 393! Last time I was on a scale before I gave birth to my son I was only 330! I did not realize how bad I was, but now I look back at photos of that time and I don't understand how I didn't know it!
-
The difference is I weigh over 250lbs where you only weigh 130lbs. My body takes more just to function because of my higher weight.
-
Again, if it were as simple as calories in vs. calories, I would have to have a BMR of like 500 to still be gaining. My point simply is that it's not as simple as burn more calories than you take in.
-
Exactly my point! It's not just about calories in and calories out! And even if I didn't do any zumba at all, just "living" and "moving" grocery shopping, walking to the office building, walking up and down the stairs, I still wouldn't net any where close to 1800 calories a day. I should be losing something, not gaining!
-
Agreed! I think hormones, heredity, and who knows what else have a lot to do with it! It's not as simple as the people, who by the way most seem to not have weight problems, say!
-
I don't agree with this. According to all the calculators, my BMR (which is supposed to be how many calories I would burn if I did nothing but rest) is over 1800. I never eat more than 1800 calories in a day unless it's a day that I have worked out, but my net is always way under 1800 calories. And I work out (usually an…
-
I don't so much focus on the weight anymore, because my weight fluxuates so much, not netting a loss practically all year, but my inches and clothes size are dropping pretty well. And my body is firming up and I am seeing less dimples and fat. :-) I know I will flux up to 5 lbs day to day, even morning to evening, or from…

Here's my problem, my measurement around my navel is the smallest, and tha's where the waist line of my pants sit. Even naked, it's like I have a belt built in my body that cinches there but creates a permanent muffin top above that sticks out maybe 2 inches on all sides, except the back is not so bad, and then another…

It's ok if you look and don't touch, or get touched, and you better not give any of them any of OUR money! Unless I'm there with you, lol!
