Poussey from Orange is the New Black. Broke my heart

my mom thought i would never stick to my exercise and diet routine, when i started 2 years ago. she even told me to drop out of the avon walk for breast cancer (a 2 day 39.3 mile walk). she said i will never do the 39.3 miles. that was in 2012 when i weighed 321 lbs. She was right; i didn't do the full 39.3 miles. I did…

my favorite as of right now are lemon ginger tea and blueberry and acai berry green tea.

when I was on my way to the subway to go to work, this guy, going the opposite direction, walked by and said " good morning Fatso". in true NYC fashion, and without skipping a beat i said "good morning to you *kitten*"

first, when you are walking to the store, going up and down stairs or doing household chores, you are doing exercises. sorry but you had to know. i hate to exercise; i hate going to the gym. never been a fan, and i never will. BUT..... i had to make a change. I am 5'3" and i am morbidly obese. I started going to the gym in…

i feel your pain. I am a chocoholic myself (i love chocolate) . it's hard but you have to control it. whenever i feel for a piece of chocolate, i grab some carrot sticks, celery sticks and peanut butter (jiffy has to go cups for dipping). if you don't like carrots, use apple slices and eat it with or without the peanut…

your idea sounds good, but not for a diabetic. high sugar content. if you like ice cream, try breyers no sugar added ice cream. its sweetened with splenda. it's good and low in calories. go to the breyers website

first, congratulations on your 4 mile mark. 2nd, don't let a bunch of immature skinny tricks get to you. people like them are no better. you continue doing what you are doing to make yourself a better you.

i have a desk job too. the key is to walk around as much as you can. also, depending on how long is your lunch break is, go out and walk. I have a gym in my office, so during my lunch break, I go to the gym and work out.

I don't care how its made, and you couldn't pay me enough money to eat it. I refuse to eat LIVER. won't go near it in the supermarket. I don't care how rich in iron it is, I will never eat it.

Its easy to eat healthy in NYC. Like you, I am craving sweets (particularly carrot cake cheesecake from Juniors). I don't give in to my cravings. just substitue the sweets with something healthy.

first things first: go see your primary physician. work with him/her. I work with my doctor for my weight loss and diabetes (and I was diagnosed 3 years ago, type 2). your doctor will get you started right with a nutritionist. the way i started to lose my weight (52 lbs in total) was by walking. walk around the block. with…

I will accept your challenge. I will start tonite.

try adding crystal light; it only has 5 calories.

i saw this on modells.com. here are some options: Reeboks YourFlex Trainette Women's training shoes Nike Dual Fusion TR Women's training shoes Nike Free TR Twist Women's training shoes

all are a 10 to me.

Here's the motivation: DO IT FOR YOU AND YOU ONLY!!!! Don't let anyone put you down. Think how good you will feel when you lose 1 lb (I'm American). I am in the same boat you are in. 11 months ago, i weighed 321 lbs (again American). I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. On my 40th birthday…

that was good. thanks for the laugh

what exercises are you doing??? in order to burn fat, you must do cardio (according to my supervisor and he's a health nut). walking, stationary bike, elliptical, stairmaster, take your pick. I started with walking. I live in nyc, so i have a lot of places where i can walk. i chose the brooklyn bridge. when i first…

I have several phobias. if i had to choose one, it will be rats. I hate them.

I am like you. I'm a stress eater too. Its hard I know, but don't give up. I have been doing the gym and eating right for 11 months. I have lost a total of 46 lbs. I went from 321 lbs to 275lbs. You will see the change. Trust me, you will.

add me, i will support you

I'm 40 years old and I have been fighting the battle all my life. 11 months ago, I signed up for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, as a start to losing weight. Back then I weighed (and this my heaviest) 321 lbs. Now I weigh 275 lbs. I lost 46 lbs, and still losing. The walk is a 2 day, 39.3 mile walk, and out of the 39.3…
