Hilarious! Can't wait to feel that way. lol

Girl, you were beautiful before and you're still beautiful. Congrats on all the hard work! It really paid off. :)

lol@magerum! great idea. lots of sugar though if you're watching sugar.

Ernie, you look fantastic! I bet you're so happy with yourself. Congrats on all your hard work you did.

I joined because I was fat. I wanted my child to be proud of me. I don't want to be an embarrassment to her, as much as I am to myself. I thought this would be a great first step to changing all of me. I plan to make the other changes over the next year or two, but first my weight is a big issue. I joined because one of my…

I just want to be a healthy BMI again.. getting to 144 will put me on the high side of a healthy BMI, so I plan on going a little lower to see where my body likes me. :) Heybales has a spreadsheet that tells you what your goal weight should be for your age, height, weight, measurements, etc. You might check that out.

Amen sister. I know thin people who think they are fat. It's amazing. My cousin, when she was a teenager was a size 0 (if I remember correctly). Her waist was sooo little. She thought she was fat. It's all about how you feel in your body. If you don't like how you feel or how you look - change it. That's why I'm here. Not…

Woohoo! Welcome to the club!

I'm looking for good friends. I'm in the running for a first loss of 97 lbs, then another 69 lbs loss after that. If you need a friend or some support, please feel free to add me.

I need to move to NYC! They don't do that in Oklahoma.. just the fast food places.

I can't eat them. They make me have diarrhea. lol TMI, I know..

Yeah, my ortho said that I needed to do strength training on my right knee to build up the muscle then he thought I might not have an issue with it slipping. I have looked into water aerobics. Guess I should look into that again now that I'm actually losing weight. Thanks for the advice/suggestions.

Yeah, I know Couch to 5K is a good way to start running. Sometimes when I'm walking, I just feel like jogging, even a slight bit, but I'd hate to fall and be crying and to be blocks from home. lol I'll go check out some knee braces and see what might fit. Couch to 5K has just been on my mind and I'm eager to try. BTW, it's…

Thank you so much. I don't have health insurance but will take a look at the youtube channel you spoke of. Thanks again.

I kicked my brother's butt when he picked on me.. even though he was 6'4" and I'm 5'4" lol Don't be scared of him. But yes, if you've been eating 800 calories, I believe people say you should at least be eating 1200 calories. Try that and see if you feel better. I had problems sleeping doing 1300-1400 calories and felt…

Let us know how it is. If it's good, I'll have to order some! :)

Exactly. Lots of us that are single.

I'm a bit of a nomad too.. love to move. I guess I have a restless spirit. My most recent move (2 years ago) was to Dallas, TX (woohooo 3 hours away from where I was before and where I am now) lol.. I wasn't so crazy about it then, but thinking about a move again. Dallas is cool and lots to do.. hot in the summer though. I…

Or suicide trends.....

Just overlook the negative and take the positives gladly. There are lots of people on here who aren't happy unless they're picking on someone... like the 2nd poster. Good luck girl and feel free to ask any questions. Someone will always be helpful.

Food pantries and the like help my small hometown every week. They bring 2 truckloads of food and people line up for blocks with laundry baskets and such to get food. All they have to bring is a utility bill as proof they live in that county. Might be something to look into. It'd give you some extra food each week.

Something similar happened to me 5 minutes after we ate at Abuelo's. I shall never eat there again.

Hey there. I'm working out at home (somewhat). I bought a bike last weekend and been riding it. Plus I do Just Dance 4 on my wii. I also walk with Leslie Sansone on amazon instant streaming to my blu-ray. I was walking my neighborhood but the uneven roads are hard on my left hip for some reason. But I don't feel it when…

I've been wondering if I should do this myself. I drink Zevia Zero Cal Drinks.. lower sodium than diet dr. pepper and diet coke.

I think it's really rude to post something like this and those of you to make fun of this woman - really. Ugh. Just read her article and move on. Why make a public spectacle of her? Make yourself feel better to laugh? There are lots of us that were or are pretty close to that weight and you are making fun of those people…

That's a very helpful post. Thanks so much.

Yeah I don't even read those threads. The titles tell me enough.

I'll stick this here for ya. I just started Road Map yesterday, so still new to it but I will say that I slept better last night than I have in weeks and was not hungry when I went to bed. You may not be getting enough calories. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/804485-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12
