  • Enlighten me. Saying that I totally missed the point doesn't help me understand what she said. What am I missing? She said the most inspiring thing for a fit person to see is a fat person in the gym giving it their all. Breaking out of their fat cocoon and becoming a fit butterfly. What did I miss? OMG I just realized my…
  • Fat people at the gym don't owe you anything!! They don't need to prove themselves to "fit people". They don't need to be a fit person's inspiration porn either. I cant believe what I am reading? This potential heavy ball of clay in a gelatinous cocoon?! Respectfully, I have to say...Are you serious?! Umm a fat person at…
  • I have to stop myself from responding to a lot of people on this message board because of fat shaming. Whether they are former fat ppl or never have been fat ever, I've seen some really questionable and just mean and hurtful **** said about fat people on these boards. Not saying that all of it was intentional, but…
  • my siblings loved pop-tarts growing up but i was always a toaster's strudel kinda gal. :) strawberry please.
  • I love that show. Chef Todd Fisher, the host, is really passionate about bacon. This man literally sings and dances while he eats. I love it!
  • Serena Williams. Her physique and athleticism is everything to me. :)
  • All of these stories about women being mistaken for pregnant women are just horrible. People have no social etiquette, I swear. I don't ever assume someone is pregnant because its just really rude. Some people could be suffering from fibroids or other aliments that are causing their stomach to protrude. And some people,…
  • I dont know if I have had any really HUMILIATING experiences, but I've felt embarrassed a time or two and it usually stemmed from sitting in chairs. At 5'11, 300+lbs, not every chair is going to big and sturdy enough to handle my size. I tried sitting in a plastic outdoor-sy sorta chair before and my weight made the chair…

  • As a person with a starting weight of 350.2lbs, stories like this one inspire me the most. I know what its like to feel completely helpless and hopeless and as weird as it sounds feeling "too fat" to diet/exercise. I just gotta say i started small and with each day this thing is getting easier. Thank you so much for…
  • my sister is on this journey with me and she called me obsessed yesterday. i go a little harder than her when it comes to diet. i am very strict and read everything and i'm always on mfp (like i am now) but its just part of my personality. when i do something, i like to do my best and be the best so as far as I am…
  • yessss! i'm weighing in once every 2 weeks, so NSVs are everything to me too. I havent even had my first weigh in yet but i took some selfies today and i can see that I have indeed slimmed down. :)
  • Water. Drinking 8+ cups a day makes me feel full.
  • buttoned up a pair of jeans that i literally couldn't fit 2.5 weeks ago. Also, my class ring is now in my jewelry box because i am scared its going to slip off because its gotten so loose on my finger.
  • Can someone explain the format of taking this course? Do you just gain access to lectures and notes? Is it interactive? Thanks. I signed up, knowledge is power! :)
  • Salty snacks like: Chips Cheese popcorn Chee-tos Doritos and lastly ice cream sandwiches. can't even have the 100 calories ones in the house because i will devour them one by one thus defeating the point of buying the mini ones.
  • CHEEEEESE. Cheese is the one thing I just can't compromise on. I was the queen of slappin' a piece of cheese on everything. Spaghetti...more cheese, Mac & Cheese...extra cheese. Pizza...more cheese on top. But now I buy kraft shredded cheese, the regular stuff, not fat-free not reduced-fat but I make sure to stick to the…
  • I didn't have a proper diet. I had the worse eating habits ever. I would wake up in the morning and sometimes not eat until late afternoon. I ate plenty of carbs + fat, plenty of sugary drinks, lots of fast food and frozen food with preservatives. I pretty much gave into every single food indulgence I wanted to. There was…
  • Hi All. I also have 100+lbs to lose and I will lose every single lb. I am fairly new to MFP, but so far I love this site. I look forward to connecting and communicating with you all during my journey. Feel free to add me. :) WE CAN DO THIS. WE WILL DO THIS. :)
  • Hi Everyone. I'm Nakia from Jersey. My hairstyle of choice is locs. I've been loc'ing and re-loc'in my hair for 13 years. I embarked on a new loc journey in April and now I am on a weight loss journey as well. My locs are in the baby stage but that doesn't discourage me from working out. I would almost always wear a…
  • when ppl type "bump" they are bumping up the thread back to the top of the message board so more ppl can see the topic and respond more. i hope i explained that correctly. :)
  • dinner: garden delight tricolor rotini pasta (3/4c.) pasta sauce (1/2 c.) shredded cheese (1/4c.) roasted chicken breast (4oz) w/ garlic and mrs. dash for seasoning calorie count: approx. 530 calories
  • I always read the suggested serving sizes. Also, I bought some measuring spoons and cups and always go to them when portioning out my meals.
  • As a fat person, I might not like the size/shape of my body all the time but I truly love myself and accept myself. This doesn't mean that I dont have insecurities and that I am not going to be dedicated to making healthy changes, but for me loving myself completely is necessary.
  • a huge thank you to everyone who replied. i am almost in tears typing this because as a person of my size, i have always felt alone or the oddball and i know all to well the feeling of being the fattest person in the room. i am determined to change that and i can honestly say that i havent felt this good or motivated…
  • i am 5'11 and 350lbs. Because of my height people always low ball my weight when I pressure them to guess and by people i mean friends and family. But yes, being tall all throughout life I was told I could carry more weight and that I was just a naturally big girl, but I know my body was not meant to carry this much…
  • i change my workout music often (dj girltalk, beyonce, gaga, lil' wayne). mostly upbeat music of course. but i like to end my workouts by listening to "best of you" by foo fighters. its the best workout song ever.
