It's been a long journey and I'm still not done. First picture is me in 2002. Second pic is me now.

I love your glasses!

What do you weigh now?

Do you get offended when people compliment you on your weightloss/ 'improved' body shape? If not, then no, you really should not complain.

Hi! My name is also April, I'm also 36, and also in central Indiana (Carmel/Westfield area). Always been overweight, and hope to not always BE overweight! Feel free to add me! I'm not always perfect on here but I'm committed, been at it for over a year now.

It happened, and it's good that you recognized and recovered! That wagon waited for you so hop back on! :)

More than 19 drinks? There's no way, you'd die! Drink things that take longer to get down, like a dry wine or a strong beer. That way, you'll drink less overall, reduce calorie intake, and still always have a drink in your hands.

Awesome!

Congrats!

Alias was great. Charmed is another good one.

You look really great! Love the pictures too. Good job

Great great great great job!!

Totally agree. So yummy! I also like Nonni's THINaddictives pistachio almond cookies. Generous amount for 100 calories.

I don't see it as fat shaming at all! I don't see it any different than showing two pictures side by side with 2 different hair styles, or a clothes makeover or whatever pictures that show something one way, then another way. The progress pictures here have been hugely motivating. Sometimes I feel like I can never get to…

I went to the doctor because I thought for sure I had an under active thyroid- tons of symptoms. It came back normal, but that I had very low iron. I upped my iron intake and began to feel better quickly. They have many of the same symptoms.

I switched to skim instead of half and half awhile back. It was a bit of a transition but not too bad. I never count it though on my calories.

You look so beautiful! Congrats on your hard work and dedication! You keep it going!

You might have an ulcer or some acid reflux. Seriously. Try some tums AND a Pepcid complete.

Are you finding that your ulcer pain can be mistaken for extreme hunger? This is the problem I have. I do find that those 14 day regimes -omezeprone (sp) really helps.

13.5 wonderful years together! We are great together, have beautiful kids together, and couldn't be happier!

Try imagining listening to your conversations from his perspective to see if you can gain some understanding of his reaction. Does his reaction make a little sense then? Chances are, it makes a little sense. Certainly not the nicest reaction, but hardly worth dropping him over as some have suggested.

I had a roux-n-y in Dec of 2002. I went from about 412 to my lowest of 260ish. Best decision I ever made in my life, but I never lost what I needed too. Since the surgery, I've had 3 kids and began some old habits, and after my last baby, the weight didnt come back off, so I got to about 330. I joint MFP and won't look…

I've never been a normal weight. Not since maybe 8 years old. I'm 100% committed now and I can't wait for some of these!

McAllisters is great, and so is Zoup Soups, on Carmel Dr. And 31. Lite options and so tasty!

When I found out at age 35 that I need a knee replacement.

You look beautiful!

fantastic work!! I can't wait to just be Obese!
