I hear ya! When I finally got the gym membership last month, it definately helped with my depression and frustration levels. Any time I feel depressed, I make myself go to the gym because those endorphines help so much. And when I am mad at anything, I go to the gym because I feel as though if I work myself harder, my…

I wear what ever I have that is clean and comfy. Usually, it's either knit capri's, sweats, or shorts, and a t-shirt. I'm not at the gym to pick up people, I'm there to change who I am.

mmmmm, bump!

OMG Why did I never think of mushroom tuna melts?!?!?!

mmmm chipotle, however, i sadly cannot eat there because their stuff is spicy and i'm allergic.

bumping for the websites people have shared.

if I knew how to post pics, you would all be bombarded, haha. I have three cats, an almost 9 year old, an almost 6 year old, and a 5 month old. They are my children, and I love em!

Ultimately I know I need to lose more than 100 pounds, though I would be completely thrilled if I could lose 50. Feel free to add me.

This is absolutely my favorite. It actually originally came from a Taste of Home Diet cookbook that I purchased. I have made this so many times, its amazing!

My roll of fat that looks like i have a second set of boobs. That roll of fat annoys me more than anything else in the world!

GW: 200 (for now) SW: 309 (when I started last year) CW: 293 Height: 5'6" Age: 24 Sex: Female

just look at your neck area, and in particular, your collar bone. You can see a difference right there! Keep up the work!

Many reasons. I believe part of it was I went undiagnosed hypothyroid for many years, and while I am controlled now, it's still hard to lose weight. Growing up, I was not allowed some junk food things, so I would sneak them and binge eat, which I still sometimes do today. I have knee issues which often times prevent me…

It could be the type of foods you are eating. Maybe try eating food with higher amounts of protein, that seems to be filling. I like to do chicken and what not, and stay away from a lot of the carbs like bread and pasta because I feel like the bread and pasta doesn't fill me, yet is alot of calories. Good luck!

I have to allow myself to eat the things that I like such as chocolate cake or what not because if I don't, then I will binge and eat a crap load of it all at once. I do think it is better for me, but you have to do what you have to do. Yes, there are times when I do a serving of something that ends up being more like 2 or…

I needed this, as I lost my motivation months ago and it's just not coming back.

i have never thought to count the number of stairs I climb each day because I am up and down the steps at work all day, and then I climb steps all the time at home too. Maybe I will try to keep track of my stairs each day and make myself climb more.

looks good.... but what is almond meal?

I weigh 285, am 5'6" and am fitting into either 22's or 20's depending on the style, though I do still have some 24's that fit too. It is body shape and build, as I have a big frame so hold my weight differently than some others might.

I would have to say the collar bone.... it is a strange turn on for me.

I definately need to try to remember this, especially when I feel as though everything is trying to get me down and make me fail. Thanks for all of your uplifting messages! You rock!

um, yum? lol

I have been here quite some time and weight loss has been real slow for me. Add me if you would like someone who tries to be supportive on other's journeys. Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. I lost a boyfriend earlier this year unexpectantly (he was only 30, I'm 23) and I don't think I have fully gotten back on the wagon since. And now my grandfather is suffering from terminal cancer and just had a stroke, so the stress is even more. I guess the best advice I have is…

I have found putting a little vasoline on your feet where the blisters appear helps to prevent them. I get them on the balls of my feet when I walk for a long time because I have a weird way of walking, but when I used some vasoline, they didn't happen.
