I'm about 4 lbs. under my original goal weight right now. My biggest fear for the past couple of weeks has been allowing myself to cheat on Saturdays and have something I really want, with fear of gaining my weight back. I know that sounds ridiculous, but, I'm afraid to be the fat girl again.

Ritchiebulk, Thanks for being here as a support for us and answering our questions honestly. I have a question. I've lost a substantial amount of weight. For the first while of my journey, I wasn't exercising at all and managed to lose weight. As time progressed, I began to exercise 4 times a week. I do cardio for an hour…

I'm wondering the same thing. I've reached my goal weight. And I'm really happy with it most days. But, sometimes, I want that extra 5 lbs. Also, I'm going to California for a vacation next month and I want to get down a couple of pounds extra so if I go off track, it won't kill me as much. Sometimes, I feel crazy.

Trust me, when I was first considering it, I was really nervous too. It's your eyes. It's serious. One slip up and that's it. But, I highly recommend that you go for a consultation. It's free and they put you at ease Right away. I didn't have to ask One question because they took the liberty of explaining everything to me…

I have had absolutely No issues with my vision at all. Honestly, it was the best decision I've made. I wore glasses since I was in the fourth grade. And it's the best feeling Not to have to worry about contacts drying out my eyes or anything like that. I have perfect 20/20 vision now and I couldn't be happier.

I just got LASIK done back in June and it's the absolute BEST thing I have ever done for myself, besides losing weight. Honestly, life is more beautiful now that I don't have frames on my face or contacts in my eyes. I can freely see the world and it's the best feeling. And, they don't slice your eyeball open. It's all…

I had a moment last night. I had to go to my room and just sit on my bed and shed a couple of tears. Sometimes, I feel like all of my effort is for nothing. I feel exhausted, like I can't go on. But then I got up and I looked at myself in the mirror. And all of those feelings went away. I have made SO much progress that no…

Sometimes I go commando. I'll be honest, I usually end up getting some sort of huge wedgie and while I don't mind just going ahead and picking it out of my *kitten*, I feel a little more free when I'm not wearing underwear.

My choice comes to around 280. But then again, I skip the cheese and sauces and load up on veggies. It's Allllllll in the choice.

They are the most repulsive thing I have ever eaten. And by eaten, I mean one forkful in my mouth, spat out into the garbage, and the rest of the pot to follow. I want to puke right now just Thinking about it. It's not even worth it.

Alright. Here goes nothing. Breakfast - iHop T-Bone Steak and Eggs - 1200 Lunch - 9" Super Supreme Pizza from Pizza Hut with boneless bites and spicy bbq sauce - 1790 Dinner - Red Robin Poutine - 800, Whiskey River BBQ burger - 1030, Bottomless Steak Fries - 380, Apple Crisp - 840 In total - 6040

The fair was just in my city and I threw all calorie counting out the window that day and had everything and anything that I wanted including bacon ranch fries, chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick, a bag of kettle corn, pizza on a stick and mini donuts. The fair comes once a year and I wasn't going to deprive myself.…

I agree completely. You've lost 4 pounds in one month. That's a nice rate of weight loss in my opinion. And the best part is, you still ate the foods that you love. You didn't deprive yourself and you weren't held prisoner to the scale. That's definitely something to be proud of. Good job.

Um. Most people's activities don't include burping in each other's faces and having to guess which family member it is. Also, I don't believe they are trying to lose weight. The one episode I did watch, the mom made a spaghetti sauce using half a tub of butter and ketchup heated in the microwave. Sorry, but I find these…

I wouldn't necessarily call them poor. They make a killing from the show.

The only thing I've done out of the norm was I took about a 2 hour walk with about a 15 lb. gym bag on my left shoulder the other day from the gym to my home. It didn't hurt the day of, but the next morning, that's when I was sore. And have continued to feel the pain since. I don't know if the uneven weight distribution on…

I agree with the OP on this particular topic. I have been fat my entire life, until now. I'm at a healthy weight for my height and that was through hard work. Have I been called fat before? Many times. Has it hurt? Sure it has. However, I also believe that when some people call others "fat", it's more than them just…

There are plenty of other ways your boyfriend can spoil you rather than showering you with fatty/sugary foods. And you need to tell him that and make it very clear if you want to succeed. It's going to take will power and determination. Enough with the excuses. My boyfriend knows not to bring any of that crap home for me,…

I've literally lost an entire human being in weight. Yet....how am I still 174? Perhaps because I choose to be because I'm comfortable and happy where I am.

Thanks.

It's not easy. Trust me. There are still days when I wake up and dread my workout. But, you know what? Once I'm at the gym, I feel good and I'm glad I kicked myself in the butt to get there. Weight loss and being healthy is something I Want and that's Important to me. And so I do what it takes to make it possible. Excuses…

I indulge because I owe it to myself. And sometimes, it's a meal of 3000 calories. And honestly, it doesn't phase me nor do I let it make me feel guilty. One meal isn't going to ruin my progress. That's what we all have to remember. Treat yourself. Don't let this lifestyle control you. Be in control of yourself and give…

I wish I had been in Germany! No, it's in Banff, Alberta.

Thank you everyone! And honestly, do I have the perfect body? No, I do not. I'll always have a bigger back side and bigger thighs. But you know what? I don't want the perfect body. I want the body that is right for me. And this is it. My goal was never to be a 115 lb. super model with my ribs sticking out. Or even to have…

I'm 5'10. The height is an advantage for me.

Honestly, I eat completely clean from Sunday - Friday. I work out Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. And Saturdays are My day to relax and eat what I want. It's not so much a cheat day, but it's a day where I don't count my calories and have to worry. Also, it gives me something to look forward to at the end of each…

Thank you so much for the kind words. I wanted to share this with you all not for the compliments, although they are great. But because I want people to know that they CAN do it. It IS possible.

Yes. I started at 340 lbs. And my goal was to get to 200 lbs. When I got to 200 lbs., I wasn't completely happy with my results and I wanted to keep going. And I have kept going, but I haven't really told anyone I'm continuing to lose weight. I'm at 174 now and I feel really good. But, I don't think it's anyones business…

Sorry to tell you, but this is Definitely the most disgusting thing I have tried thus far on my weight loss journey. The texture made me want to Hurl. It's not even worth it. Just eat real pasta. Honestly.
