Also this!!! I had to take responsibility for what I was putting in my body. But I had to drop the shame first. Shame never works.

My moment began in November 2012. I wanted to purchase health insurance so, you know, I could be healthy. The guy at the insurance place was slightly condescending, but whatever. I needed to go in and get a physical done. So I did, and the scale told no lies...I waited patiently for several weeks to hear back from the…

Yes, I refuse to weigh or measure myself until a few days after my period finishes. It's such a psyche out, otherwise...and I'm sort of pissy anyway (no need to fuel the fire, lol).

i guess as a parent of an adult child (step or otherwise), all you can do is express your concern. i have been very overweight for the majority of my life (I'm 32 now). i think it got worse after middle school, when i wasn't taking PE classes or anything. i was driving more, i had a bit of cash (hello $0.30 cheeseburgers),…

i go to pf as well. put a movie or tv show on your tablet. sometimes i'll program songs on my mp3 player so i figure, "ok, if i do 3 AWK songs and 2 Lady Gaga's, a couple of Queens of the Stone Age and a Studio Killers (or madonna), i'll be done. the beginning 5-8 minutes is kind of a drag, but i periodically glance at the…

bump.

That made me so sad to read, the hiding and the shame. Been there, for me it felt so terrible. I also remember that I would lie to my family/friends about what I was eating. I guess I just didn't want to hear their negative comments about my food lifestyle. Especially from my mom. Love her so much, but man, she can be so…

I love the eliptical and I too get sleepy foot parts. Specifically, in my middle and fourth toes on both feet. I sort of end up doing a weird foot thing as I go where I sort of march/mark time. I agree, there are like 5 eliptical machines (I call them the old ones) which are my favorite, they put very little strain on my…

I am also an emotional eater. When I get particularly angry or anxious, I instantly think, "I need to go to Dunkin Donuts and get a bagel". I've had to say to myself, "No, you're just pissed/anxious/etc, you're not hungry. Be mad and let it pass". It has been working. Blogging and meditation have also helped me out a lot.…

Thank you so much for your story. I, too, began with needing to lose about 125lbs. Right now, I am proud to say that I am down a total of 25lbs (although MFP says 20...I began my journey in January and lost about 5lbs in a few months, and it really kicked into gear once I started tracking my food and exercise). It gives me…

whoops, just saw the reply! disregard!

How often should you revise/update your TDEE? About 2 months ago, I figured it out, but I've lost about 20lbs in total since then.

oh my, they just opened an anthony's coal fire pizza near where i live. the unhealthy food spirits are trying to rock me!! i'll have pizza in july, lol!

Hi! I'm currently at 241.3. i think. something like that. anyway, i joined about 6 weeks or so ago and i've lost about 13lbs. since the beginning of the year, though, i've lost about 20ish. i'm excited, this is one of the first times i'm actually being successful. i'm just going slowly. also, i have the support of my…

I went to muscleandstrength.com and looked up a beginner program (for 3 days a week). I like it thus far (2 weeks in), and I've been working on form and pushing myself a little further each time. I also like that in the 3 day workout for beginners, there are helpful little video links to show you how to properly do the…

Well, although my weight has fluctuated over the past couple of weeks (I started the IPOARM eating management "plan" and I was menstruating), I checked in today at 243.6 :) So I am ecstatic! We should do this again!

Sounds like Chocolate Covered Katie, I LOOOOVE her!!!
