I wear a 20 and my waist is bigger than 40 inches...a lot bigger

You're rude AND a bully....

Ok. So here's the thing. Fat comes from everywhere. EVERYWHERE even your hoo ha. You are measuring 6-8 places max? That doesn't tell you about the inches lost from all the other places you aren't measuring. If you've gone down a pants size you are losing inches. Period.

I lose a size about every 20 pounds. At 260 I'm in an 18, 240 a 16 etc. At about 200 pounds I'd be in a size 12. I'm 5'7. My BMI would be just into the obese range. I will tell you however that I would feel amazing and look decently thin given my height. I don't look at people who are a size 12 and think they need to lose…

Ok. So I have PCOS too but unfortunately not the thin kind :). I'm not sure who told you that working out would raise your androgen levels. Working out can raise testosterone levels in females but its not the bad kind. There are multiple kinds of testosterone in the body including free testosterone. Do you have insulin…

The empty vessel makes the loudest sound - William Shakespeare :) Most people are very very very nice.

So I am a big believer in "fake it til you make it". I understand that you don't feel motivated right now. I do. I get that. But if you wait until you feel motivated to do somethimng you might never do it. Just START. Just decide that TODAY, not tomorrow, is going to be the day you start. Eat within your calories and don't…

Umm....this is wrong. Period. Want to know what sport needs aerobic fitness? Living. I have genetically high blood pressure and no matter what I eat it stays high. If I get in 30-40 minutes of cardio a day my blood pressure magically drops. Your heart needs the activity. While lifting does raise your heart rate it doesn't…

If you don't mind my asking, how tall are you? You look phenomenal and you are such an inspiration!

Bahahahahahaha

Oh wizbeth :) I think you are simply lovely! I'm always shocked how even a 10 pound loss makes me feel like a sexy beast :)

I don't want to go on the pill either but this just happened to me, 3 weeks. It eventually went away on its own. I never get a period on my own - ever- So i think my body was just cleansing itself out.

If I lost 93 pounds I'd walk down the street naked. I do. not. care. (And I have more than that to lose). You need to appreciate your body and what its done for you this far. You are amazing. You need to appreciate it! You are incredible!

You are hilarious :)

As someone with a background in psychology there is something legitimately wrong with that you said. Slapping yourself in the face for missing a key? Doing worse if you have pizza? OP, that is a horribly horribly unhealthy attitude.

I haven't read the replies but I think you sound like a bit*h. In a perfect world it would be very easy to lose weight. In a world where you don't hate yourself, feel as though you aren't worth putting the effort into yourself, where depression doesn't take over, where you live in a bubble yes, it would be very easy.…

Good luck~ everyone I know has had GREAT success!

I didn't think you were anything but kind! I was just speaking from experience with WLS from my friends and family. It isn't as easy or "effortless" as many people think!

Ok Dear so here's the deal. I'm 27. I have tried to lose weight on and off since I was 12. I never did it. I'd do it for a week, two weeks and fall of the band wagon because I wasn't ready. Not ready to commit, not ready to face the reasons why I was eating like crazy just NOT ready. You have to be ready. Weight loss…

I love everything you hate. Espeically milk and nutella. OMG.

Ok. So My TDEE is 2896 for my age and activity level. If I eat anything above 2000 I gain and around 1800 I start to lose weight very slowly. What does that tell me? These TDEE calculations FOR ME are very very off. It's just an estimate. It really is as simple as calories in calories out. You cannot have a 1000 calorie a…

Ok I really really don't want to be a Debbie Downer. I think you should try to help her as much as you can without making her feel self conscious but I will tell you that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. Your sister sound a lot like me. My dear sweet mother tried to help me for years. But I…

Last night I made these delicious pizzas and the "crust" was portabello mushroom caps. I've also heard of making crust from cauliflower and apparently its very very good.

Gorgeous! Are you an adele lover? or james bond lover?

You look wonderful!!

I think its maybe weird because after people lose weight they don't look like an apple? I'm all belly....like ALL belly. My legs are like 2-3 pants sizes smaller than my "waist" aka pudge. I'm broad chested and hold weight in my arms too. GRRRR.

BUMP. I need replies to this!

That's amazing. Congrats! I'm confused though. Wouldn't you not want to start it all over again? Wouldn't you try to maintain the gain you've made at the end of the process? So if you are running for 30 minutes then you'd keep trying to run that long?

Metformin will help with weight loss in this way: When you are insulin resistant your insulin (think of it as the key to unlocking your cells and letting glucose in) does not work properly. This means that if you eat carbs - good OR bad, you will have too much insulin and too much glucose floating around in your system. Do…

Feel free to add me. Looking to lose about 100 pounds.
