I have lost 200 lbs from my highest 9 years ago of 451 lbs. before I was always hot...hated summer, never owned a sweater, had one turtleneck, and never wore a hat or earmuffs. now it can be 85 in summer and I am in the shade and a breeze blows, I get goose bumps. there is no such thing as too many layers and i have…

Atheist here too!! YAY!:drinker:

I am feeling overwhelmed and discouraged and jealous. I have muscle atrophy and anemia due to weight loss surgery and even though I am 254 lbs, my body FEELS like it did at 451 lbs!!! It is frustrating to see so many people much bigger than I am be able to do more and get more enjoyment. All of my energy goes to…

The only time I lie is if I OVERestimate my calories logged and UNDERestimate the calories burned log. I find it easy to not get above 1200 net calories because I have a protein shake after my exercise and I drink most of my fluids until 3 or4 pm. That keeps me satiated for most of the day. it allows me to have a nice…

I find it amusing how "shocked" people are when it happens to them. SOMEONE has to be doing it and we all can't be the ONLY person in our offices that don't. I am sure if co-worker X, Y, and Z lost weight a year or two ago MOST of us would have either not cared enough to have been supportive (which ignoring a significant…

same problem here....will almost always be anemic and I am actually taking 3000 IU's of vit d. I have to take a stool softener daily now or else. I get a lot of fiber and that isn't helping a bit. neither is getting a lot of water, although that does help a bit--- TMI warning: keeps me from screaming and/or bleeding from…

^^^^THIS completely! I got the most caloric bang for my buck, so spending $12 for a bag of grapes that will last 3 days max in lunches versus $12 worth of knock-off brand junk that would last for a couple weeks in lunches plus snacks is obviously WAY more expensive!!!!

It is WAY more expensive to eat healthy--that means no breads, rice, corn, potatoes and pasta fillers because they are junk! A head of lettuce is close to $4 and boneless skinless chicken breast is like $5 a lb! wayyyyyyyy cheaper to eat starchy fillers, and I usually cooked from scratch anyway. 3 or 4 oz of protein per…

It's always nice to see that on a site meant for people to come together to get healthy, there is always going to be the *kitten* disturbing hater to make it all about themselves and how the thinner people in this world are overlooked and down-trodden. The fat people of the world apologize for all the pain and torture and…

I am an atheist, but I didn't do anything for Lent, but it could be just the social pressure. why do a lot of us start exercising and eating healthy at the beginning of the year? because we are socially trained we should, even if we don't really believe it. personally, i say whatever works as an excuse to create a goal and…

Thank you very much for the kind words, ladies!!! It means a lot!

There are two things that scare me the most: 1.) I will lose him because he will no longer like me because I am so much fatter than he is, and 2.) he will leave me in the dust because I cannot keep up with him anymore. I sympathize with your wife SOOOO much and I sympathize with you as well. most likely, your wife feels…

This is exactly how my bf and I are, except I grocery shop and cook. I am EXTREMELY jealous of my bf's weight loss. I am happy for him, but it brings up issues of my own. I insecurity, self-hatred, etc. I have discussed it at length with my bf. he is also upset that I cannot be supportive like he wants me to be. it isn't…

I am sorry your husband won't support you. but I have to say, this makes me feel better as I am not supportive of my BF and he doesn't seem to be supportive of me. He is someone who has obsessions and they change quite frequently. The new obsession is losing weight (we have been together for less than 2 years and I have…

thanks for the advice so far :) I realllly appreciate it!!

ughhhh....pizza and cheese! I have been saying those two will be the death of me hitting my caloric goal if I start! it's only been about a month and I am REALLLLLLLLLLLLY craving real pizza! ok...better go find some broccoli to munch on now that I thought of that LOL!
-
I just have to say I love this post! If you can't feel safe to humorously vent about being picked on because of size on a site meant to help ppl get fit, where can you? If people don't like what you wrote, they can MOVE ON. Someone must have peed in their cornflakes to post something to admonish you for fighting back. Just…

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! good luck...you can do it!!!! gives me hope that i can start it in the next couple of months

I know I am like your significant other. My bf has always thought fat people were disgusting and still does, even though he is very overweight. He thinks fat people are lazy, etc. We met and I was close to 300lbs and he said right off the bat we could NEVER have a relationship because of my age (I am 10 yr older) and my…
