Mine is in the kitchen because my bathroom is too small and I tend to bump it a lot. I called the scale manufacturer and they agree its best to be in a place where its less traffic/won't be disturbed or moved often so since I spend less time in the kitchen and there is a little more room there, that's where it is :)

Wow! Congrats on all your weight loss and quitting smoking!! I think after those things you deserve to always splurge on the season passes :)

Thanks for the support, all! :) Its good to know I'm not alone and that others deal with friends who say similar things. I am happy I've got this site for support that can't be found elsewhere at times. I plan to work harder on letting things people say roll off me and also on keeping distance from certain people when I…

Thank you and congrats on your awesome success as well!! Dealing with family thinking those things must have been difficult, but knowing you didn't change just to make them feel better shows that you are such a strong person! Luckily my family has been pretty supportive whenever I mention what I'm doing, but since they…

I'm glad I'm not alone :) Thank goodness for this site so that I can find some people who understand the frustration!

Sometimes I kind of do ditch them a bit on certain things just to have a break lol! Not surprisingly, the two people who I am mainly referring to are actually a couple that I hang out with quite a bit. We get along great on everything else except sometimes they do seem to push my boundaries as far as getting into my…

I'm 28, never married, no kids. It sucks sometimes, not going to lie.

"You have such a pretty face" <--- ALL THE TIME Back-handed compliments are the worst, worst, WORST kind of insults. I'm hard enough on myself, and having someone say something like that use to cause me so much dismay and I would repeat their comment(s) in my head for days/weeks and get really down on myself. I was made…

That is so inspiring!!

Done! Thanks!!!

AWESOME job! I've lost just about that much too and its *almost* 1/3 of my goal too :) I didn't take beginning pictures but I need to take them now for sure that I realize it will really help see the difference. You look great girl!

I'm tired of also being one of (or often THE) fattest people in the classes. And it does cross my mind from time to time, and some days I'm more aware of it than other days. BUT instead of letting that be a totally negative feeling, I try to use it to motivate myself even more. "I'm TIRED of being the fattest person here,…

I'm on 1600 calories a day . I guess with her remark I felt like maybe I should ramp up the exercise to see if I can lose more this month. Its not really that I'm starving either, but I do notice I over-do it sometimes to where I don't feel well and don't feel like eating which I know is then counter productive. My weight…

Yeah it doesn't feel healthy either lol. Thank you! I'm glad to see everyone else so far agrees that the scale is not the only indicator in making progress.

Sounds good, that makes me feel better that other people take a day off here and there.

I'm also kind of stuck in this. My rate of weight loss has decreased significantly over the last month, yet I have lost TONS of inches. I have been visiting a doctor once a month to help me stay on track and this past month she said "What happened?!" when she came in the room because I had only lost 3 lbs this past month,…

I felt like that during my last period.. lots of working out AND losing all that blood is a lot of work for the body. I felt sick at the same time so I didn't even feel like eating what I probably should've eaten - the steaks & carbs & stuff, but I'd say yeah, work them in if you can. Or whatever your body is telling you…

I usually have a protein shake in the morning for breakfast - I really like the GNC Total Lean Shake 25 in French Vanilla. I have a really hard time with fruits & vegetables too so it will be interesting to see what other people say. I do like smoothies so maybe something like that? Again, could be time consuming unless…

Thanks for the great ideas everyone!! I just went to the store and bought a bunch of stuff to make some wraps :)

Wowww that's kinda neat :) I like the idea though I would probably start out small and make one week's worth at a time. Maybe I'll try it! Thanks!

^ Ooh good to know, maybe I'll try those ones sometime (I only care about the calories, not the everything else lol)

I normally don't really have leftovers, as I am only preparing dinner for myself which is usually a single serving chicken breast or fish filet and a "Just For Ones" veggie.. (this is getting depressing lol) The salad might be a good idea but I'm just thinking it wouldn't really fill me up much unless I had some good stuff…

One serving of almonds for the ones I have are 24 almonds, 160 calories... if you eat a whole bag thats 2560 calories. And thats just the plain whole almonds. I'm sure the flavored are even more. To battle this, I count them out and put them in a separate baggie. Never sit with the bag right near you or they will be gone…

Like all medications, they affect different people in different ways. If it was recommended to you by a *good/legit* doctor it will be for a good reason and you would have to qualify for it by not having high blood pressure and by being very obese. I have been on it for about a month and though my weight loss has not been…

So awesome! I'm glad I clicked on this post as its very inspiring. I haven't had any weight loss this current week and its gotten me a bit discouraged but I will **NOT** give up! I'm going to start taking measurements too now. Thank you so much for sharing!!

It wouldn't hurt to have it documented that this occurred. In case it happens again to you or anyone else in the area, there will already be a history of incident(s) so as to help catch the guy if he ever comes around again. They would probably be able to increase patrol in the area as well if you request it.

I agree with what pretty much everyone has said so far -- DOCTOR! And do not let that trainer push you too far and get you injured further. I have a lot of weight to loose too so I feel your pain (pun intended a bit lol). I've been working out pretty hard for about a month now and my knees are starting to feel it pretty…
