:D

I think you're doing the right thing by reaching out. You nailed it when you said that sometimes we just don't know the reason why we're sad, down, depressed, unmotivated, lethargic, anti-social. You're fighting a big battle and you obviously got the food part down. Even if it doesn't always feel healthy or "good" or easy,…

I can see a huge difference. Keep it up, 26lbs is a LOT of weight.

Yes! Thanks for saying in one sentence what I've been failing to say in 20.

Okay, I think all your great answers are helping to clarify my question. If you have 2 sedentary people with equal levels of stamina and fitness levels, but one weighs 50lbs more than the other, does the one who weigh more also have stronger muscles because of the extra weight they're carrying around? (Honestly I'm not…

I saw your post on the first day I joined (5 days ago) and bookmarked it. If I succeed, it will be in part because of you. I find your journey very relatable and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Great job! You can totally start to see it.

Amazing and very inspiring!

Thanks so much! Ill check those books out. And I want to add you guys as friends, but I don't know how yet!

Yes, not eating while watching tv should be a great rule because I LOVE to do those 2 together, mainly because of how much focusing on the tv justifies not focusing on food.

Thank you so very much. I didn't have time to respond until now but I read everyone's posts a few times. Thank you so much for the support and the advice. So, so, so much good advice and inspiration. I think for now, I will just focus on coming here for support every day and on logging everything I eat. I think maybe I…

I am so inspired! Congratulations and thanks for sharing this wonderfully-written post.

Thanks, I feel better already. I have a scale :) How often do you weigh?

Thank you, that all sounds very good and measured. I need to shoot for long-term, which I've never done in the past. When I was active, it wasn't hard to stay healthy but now it's hard to imagine being that active again. Realistically, though, I would like to go on a couple of walks a week. I have a family, I work, go to…

Thanks. I'll try that. I've been eating very mindlessly for months and am actually amazed I haven't gained more weight. I'm doing the MFP calculator and tracking has helped me in the past. I need some accountability too, which is why I want to reach out and post here. Thanks so much for taking the time to write. I…
