I'm 250 at 5'5, trying to lose weigh too..

I'm 244 at 5'5. my goal weight is 155.

I'm 27 and need to lose about 100 pounds myself ! Welcome..

I've read many, many books..some great books: In the Company of the Courtesan and the True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. Horrible books? Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy and "The Body Artist". Ugh. But otherwise, I love books : )

Wow, didn't know about this. Hmm, it will be quite useful in the future : ) Thanks !

Dislike. I have ten tattoos, and I'll never be getting a 'tramp stamp'.

When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hmmm? --YODA, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try. --YODA, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.…

I know, right? People are so lame.

I am 250 and 5'5. Not diabetic, no high blood pressure, normal everything. I hiked Glacier National Park with my fiance, and made it all the way to the top! I feel healthy on the inside. I just want it to reflect on the outside. I am sure that the weight isn't good for my knees or back. I'm not interested in losing weight,…

Awesome answer.

I'm 27 and trying to join the military too. I am 244.4 at 5'5 lbs. I have to lose until I get down to 155. I feel your pain. I am going to work hard and do this in a year. You can do it too. If you need encouragement, let's encourage each other. I'm too old at 27 to join several branches as active duty, but I can still…

Thanks for all the answers by the way : )

I don't have a dress yet...I am 5'5, 250 lbs and with 44% body fat...

I completely relate to this....

Awkward... A whopper junior sounds kind of good right now...hold the mayo.....

I listen to my Ipod..sometimes I play Words with Friends if I have the incline and resistance increased by a lot..sometimes I use weights and do arm exercises while on the elliptical. I have a Bosu ball and it's helped me quite a bit with balance : )

That's pretty awesome. I generally suck as baking. Well, I can make awesome bread from scratch, but all desserts and goodies suffer a slow, painful death straight into the trash. Lol... I think goodies once in a while is awesome. I don't see why people act like it's the Devil.

OMG. I just read the lyrics. What a awful song. Well, it's not that the song itself is awful, but the lyrics...wow. Depressing. Honestly, I think that most people are cruel at heart. It's always good to see people like Mother Teresa or others doing stuff with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and other various…

I hiked around Glacier National Park with my fiance..very fun : ) We took water, the camera, snacks (like trail mix, beef jerky), sunglasses , knife, a map of the area and a wildflower guide... Next time we go camping, we are NOT taking that huge professional camera he had us lug around. It's a point and shoot next time!…

So...with MFP, it calculates what you should eat a day WITHOUT exercise.. TDEE calculates taking daily exercise + living calories into account. With TDEE, it expects you to stay consistent with that daily caloric loss based on just functioning (living) and exercise. So if you ate AT MFP standards without exercise, it is…

I tend to stay away from illegal things.....

Oh, gracias : ) Good to know !

Thanks. I will be doing this today. You're awesome :D

Pretty freakin amazing. You are beautiful. Hmm total inspiration for the day !

Maybe you can make like a super calorie and nutrition packed smoothie and drink it allllllllllll up. Hmm I want that now. Wait, I can't afford all the calories. Ughhh

I wish I had that "problem"..........

How many calories are in a venti extra caramel frappachino with whole milk and whipped cream? Wait, do I want to know? :ohwell:

omg...

I think it's okay to not have a big wedding. It is honestly a huge waste of money that could be invested in better things. My fiance and I are getting married in late July. We plan to have just parents, siblings, and one of my good friends there. So maximum? Fifteen people...at most. It's going to be simple, fun, sweet,…

I remember going to an IHOP, and there was a table full of loud, obnoxious teenagers 'dressed up'. I guess they were there after some kind of school dance. Anyway, not ONE left a tip, but all of them gave the waitress a hard time. After they left, she cried as she cleaned up after them. It was pretty awful. I've never been…
