Great info everyone, thank you!! I am going to continue to bulk up on the water because at least it is filling me up and helping me lower my caloric intake.

First of all welcome. Just like you, I need to lose a lot of weight also. I am a 46 year old woman who started a few months ago at 358 pounds (I am 6 foot tall). I am happy to say i am now at 325 pounds in just 4 months. It is a long, hard journey, and will take time. I wouldnt worry too much about any fancy recipes at…

Thank you for sharing your wonderful story with us! You are a true inspiration!

I truly love this site!!! thank you everyone for the great input. I guess because i am starting off so much "heavier" then the average person, i am expecting a greater loss. I am really proud of myself for what i have accomplished so far and I am no where ready to give up. I am feeling better and better everyday and will…

WOW! You look amazing! Thank you for sharing!!! You are a true inspiration!

Thank you everyone for your input! I actually worked out harder today just from the inspiration of all of your comments! I love the fact that there are so many knowledgeable people on this site! Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stacie

From what I am gathering from the comments (and please forgive me if i sound stupid). A person that weighs 150 pounds compared to a person that weighs 350 pounds will burn a different amount of calories during the same workout?

I am walking on a treadmill for 20 minutes and going on the Elliptical for 12 minutes. The machines calculate the calories and that is what it is reading, about 120 calories for both.

Lately I have been eating Lean Cuisine - Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry twice a week for breakfast as a change. It is delicious, very filling and only 220 calories. I am really finding if I eat a bigger breakfast and lunch, I am not looking for any snacks after dinner.

You are beautiful and a true inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story!!!!

I will be using this recipe if you dont mind. Sounds wonderful!

My dinner plans are boring....grilled chicken with brown rice and broccoli. Any suggestions on how to spruce that up?

I am currently in love with sliced apples and PB. Its amazing how good healthy food taste once you give up food that isnt good for you.

Fantastic job!!! Thanks for sharing!

Well done! Thanks for sharing!!!

Your story has actually brought tears to my eyes. We are around the same age and I too am also tall (6 FT). I have let my weight get completely out of control and I have finally decided to do something about. Thank you for posting this wonderfully inspirational story! Congrats to you and Happy Birthday!!!!

Thanks for sharing! I am going to try this!!!

First of all Congrats!!! You look amazing and yes you can see a difference!

The Roast Beef sub is excellent if you are looking for a change.

I have come to the conclusion that just because it is "Breakfast" doesnt mean you need to eat "Breakfast" food. I am actually considering starting to have vegetable soup and grilled chicken for breakfast. I have heard of several people turning their menu around and eating the bigger meal first thing and the lighter meal…

Just remember, family is like fish, they go bad in a couple of days!!!! You look fantastic and there is a huge difference! Enjoy your weight loss and embrace it, dont let the family discourage you!!!

I love mustard! Will try that, thanks!

I love mustard, I will try that tip, thanks!!!

I myself love mustard also!! I will try it, thanks for the tip!!!

I am working on a few pregnancy pounds also......too bad its been 11 years since I have been pregnant!

Grilled chicken, brown rice and some type of veggie......sounds kind of boring.........might have to had a little soy sauce to flavor it up a little!

Wow!!!! You look fantastic!!!! Congrats!!!

Congrats to you! Today is my first day with myfitnesspal and I have a lot to loose, but I am motivated and ready to start!!!
