Im there with you too! Between mood cycles and meds, weight gain has been crazy and weight loss has been difficult. On Seroquel which had me gain 75lbs in a year, prozac, buspar, and another I cant remember the name of since they just added it. It really does add a difficult twist to changing my eating and exercise…

Part of that depends on your activity level, height ,age, and sex. I'm currently at 336lbs and I am set at 1840 calories now according to MFP. Awhile back my doc threw out a number of 1800 so I've been adjusting between that number and MFP number, now that I've lost weight MFP is getting me closer to that 1800, so I know I…

Awesome progress!

Running up stairs = awesomeness!

Congrats to both of you! Keep it up!

A few days ago was a triple hitter for me! I was able to comfortably wear jeans that 5 months ago the zipper was no where near zipping..... The zipper was doing the V previously A classmate asked if I've lost weight And my dad said it was finally starting to show that I was losing! And to top it all off...... I'm at 3…

Is there any "junk food" food left? I'm not gonna say throw it away..... Even 120lb people eat junk food sometimes! What I do suggest though is divide it all up now, before your new day starts tomorrow. Put 1or even 2 servings per ziplock Baggie, (have a mixture even) write on the bag what it is, how many servings, and the…

I have to agree that a lot of it is mental, getting ourselves in th mindset. And the little steps and changes. If I tried to change everything all at once I would have given up already. I've seen a lot of people change over to a 'diet' type menu but that won't work for me because I can't live with that forever, I am making…

Last week someone mentioned my favorite flannel pj pants that I was wearing in a pic from 2 years ago, the last time I put them on I took them right back off because I was afraid the seams would split because they were so tight. Later that night I showered and put on my sleep shorts but was chilly so grabbed the flannels…

That's awesome! I knew we do his for ourselves and not others, but it does feel great when someone notices!
-
Apparently it did, haven't had a loss like that in some time. Guess it was my body saying "hey don't give up on me!" I'm not giving up on the journey but I think I'm giving up (for now) on trying to understand why my body does what it does.

Thank you

Is it a treadmill you have at home or at the gym? Ours is several years old, but we had to verify weight limits back when we got it. Most gyms with newer treadmills have the higher limits, but if you're not sure and it concerns you I would recommend asking a member of the staff. I just gotta say.... More power to ya for…

Not sure about everyone else, but I can't fit into clothes from most plus sized stores either. There is a Catherine's plus size store the next town over that I go to, they go up to 5x or 34. They are definitely more expensive than regular clothing stores, but the clothes seem to last. Most the stuff I wear until they get…

At 5'9'' and 391lbs I was in a tight 30/32 jeans. I've been too afraid to try them on or any others since starting this journey. ( I tried once about 10 pounds ago and wasn't impressed with results) I wear yoga pants all the time, once they start falling off I don't know what Ill do! lol I don't want to buy clothes that I…

It's good to be able to get it out... Don't be sorry. Have faith in yourself, even if you have to force it for awhile. Like the saying goes "fake it til you make it". Maybe you are eating too few calories? I thought that sounded odd at first too, then started to eat closer to what was "recommended". Each of our bodies…
-
I've logged my gain, except for one week it was .4lb gain so I just skipped that week. I like to log the gains so that I can look back over things to see if there's trends ...with how often it happens or the type diet I had that week.
-
Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear you've had those issues with doctors and such! That's horrible and very unprofessional of them! I've had doctors comment that I should lose weight, but never experience anything like you have. I have had them treat me like I wouldn't work for it when I've asked for help loosing, and in turn…
-
Lol, not tmi, and thanks! I do like the boxer type panties, but limited on brands due to how the top fits. They do seem to help some as there is no heavy band rubbing, but I notice those tend to creep some... (Maybe I still haven't found the right brand) I've never seen tummy liners, ill keep a look out and see if they…
-
Great progress so far! And glad to have you here as a poster, sounds like you are taking a great approach to your changes!
-
Thanks! Sometimes I feel like I "should" be doing more but find it hard at this weight, it's refreshing to hear someone say they are modifying or changing something to fit their current weight. I want to tone up while loosing, but I don't want to kill myself doing it either, lol! (Which also applies to the cardio)
-
I mainly want to do strength exercise for toning and light muscle gain. I did find a single 3lb dumbbell around the house from when mom was using it, and there is a 10 lb one upstairs that my son used to use. I had forgotten about it until I was on the treadmill today and happened to see it. For now Im going to work with…
-
It is difficult to find them that fit size and shape... alot of people don't realize that the bigger the panties the more important a role 'shape' actually has. Here's to us finding panties that fit our shape and size much easier in the future with progression in our journey's!
-
Woohoo! Even though I can't see a difference when looking at my body, yet, I am thankful for any and all NSV's. Several months back I had bought a new pack of panties, got home and they were too tight, ever since they've been in my drawer. Well last night I just reached in and grabbed a pair to slip on after my post…

Sitting here with tear blurred eyes...as this hit home pretty hard... All I can really say is thank you, apparently I needed to see this today. Thank you. And great job!

I so often forget to look at this thread, but today noticed several new members have joined in the past month or so.... Just wanted to say "Welcome! And best of luck on your new journey!
-
Thanks. It must just be a coincidence then, yesterday I walked in the same place I've walked all week with the iPod in the same location on my arm, only change was pandora instead of my own playlist. (Started using treadmill in the house upstairs since weather was habitually causing me to cancel walks). Ill give it a few…

I think ive got something for each food group now... *I've added almond milk to my eating habits. Has good nutritional benefits for the low amount of calories and best of all it's not a "dairy" so I can indulge in my cheese or milk without going over 2-3 servings a day. *Smoothies are probably my other new vice, reasonably…

Welcome aboard!

New NSV for me! Not only am I increasing my walk time... But today I noticed I didn't have to stop at my normal 7 min and 14min marks to take a 30 second break
