I agree, I simply don't get the degree of anger here from those cowardly hide behind their computers spouting off insults at people who have been here for days or weeks and ask honest ques

You are correct in that the post was not specifically addressed to you nut since you stepped forward, you made it about you.. Your most "bizarre" response is in fact bizarre since that comment was not in my post but made up in your own mind. I can assure you that I do not care if your pictures are you or not but you are…

HOW TO BECOME A "MFP BULLY" When one is too much of a coward to actually be a bully face to face with other people,, hide behind a computer screen and come to a weight loss / fitness site where you can pretend to be better than other people in the safety of your Parents basement where you can make stupid comments toward…

I started here on April 3rd at 287 lbs. at 6'0" counting calories on here and walking for exercise only (because that is all I can do). Within three months I was down 67 lbs. at 220 lbs. I had an injury that prevented me from walking until three days ago, During that period I only dropped 3 lbs. but where I started at a…

I have calories spread throughout the 24 hours of the day because I sleep little but have calories planned already so it is no big deal. My days are also planned a day in advance so I know where I stand and know that I have calories to cover it.

She never said he said anything about her. That was her impression which I am sure not reality

My thoughts exactly

I disagree and you have not fallen off the wagon since you are here now so just keep on the journey to reach your goals. The only failures are those who do not try. Unlike you and others who have replied, short term goals simply do not work for me. If I set a goal (short term) to lose 25 lbs, once I reached that goal I…

Started April 3rd, 2013 in size 4XL and some 5XL Shirts and size 56 waist pants...... Currently I am wearing XL and some large Shirts and Size 36 pants..... At 6'0" I was 287 lbs. April 3rd, 2013 and currently I am at 217 lbs.

Mine says 250 lbs. however at the time I was 287 lbs. so it basically was a lie. While the license still says the same 250 lbs. I am currently 217 lbs. Since the state Concealed Weapons Permit uses the information and picture from your state ID or Drivers License so it has the same inaccurate information. *NOTE - Weight is…

Kissable

Skipping the guy above me................. @raaraa17 Without a doubt, She is absolutely beautiful aside from the two issues of #1 - she is less than 1/2 of my age and no doubt would not be interested AND #2 - the fact that I have been married since 9 years before she was born............. but she is gorgeous

Diets come and go, you start and fail........... this is the reason people here have the lifestyle change approach. You can do it, when you make friends here it seems to build up a sort of accountability to help support you, Good luck and feel free to add me. I do get where you are coming from.

As far as the limited budget, most of us can relate. My wife and I, both here on MFP and both successfully losing weight (a total of about 120 lbs.), We have changed very little in what we have always eaten, just the serving sizes which actually means it is, for us, less expensive. The only thing added for us is more…

Welcome. I have never tried anything else for any comparison but seem to have made good progress in my 5 months here going from 287 lbs. to 217 lbs. and losing from a 56 inch waist to now comfortably into my waist size 36 jeans.

Well I sure do not have that problem BUT have no drank for years for other reactions to it.

Makes sense

Calorie intake / calories burned............. that is what matters. MY THEORY is when you complicate things trying to justify overeating, all at once or over a period of time, you will get what you get. Your real question is, "Is my overeating better than other people's so I can feel better about it?" I am thinking it…

Of course it is possible to lose weight without doing any type of exercise but unfortunately it is also very possible to lose weight to your goal weight and still be completely out of shape. As for me, being disabled, walking is the only exercise I am able to do (according to my doctors, physical therapy and reality) and…

You are very impressive and inspiring.

Well the avatar is me 25 lbs heavier. One of the motivating things for me to lose weight was when several people said I looked like John Goodman so I guess I will take a Kelsey Grammer LOL

I would LOVE to be able to get 5 hours of sleep in three days much less one :) I have some serious sleep issues.

I was very pleased mainly this month because while I only lost 2 lbs due to not being able to do any exercise because of injury I still was losing inches. Walking is the only exercise I can do anyway (disabled) but something is working for sure. Thank you and yes, very proud even though I have much to go with 34 lbs to my…

Most of the time when I wake up I think 54 is old. I hurt so bad at that point in the day I feel like I am at least 85 but as the day goes on most days it gets better :)

You are right. We have always been pretty much opposites on many issues but that can make life interesting. Earlier in our marriage we took many of those compatibility tests for couples and we could have not been farther apart in every respect but 35 years later she has come more in my direction than I have in hers. In the…

Wear size 36 waist pants (and I DO wear my pants around my waist at the navel) - 30 days ago I was in size 42 and I started 5 months ago at size 56. Go out to eat and actually not ask for a table because I can now fit easily into a booth, Walk at all for exercise since then I still had a broken foot but I restarted day #1…

AND if I might add, if these other programs appeal to you, try them instead.

Hi Catelinn. I am close in age at 54. I log in daily and enter each food or meal as I consume it throughout the day. I stick to my calorie goals and have made good progress but have a bit to go.

That is a bad situation but as you say and as you should tell him, you are doing this for you not for him. To answer the question though, my wife (if nearly 35 years) is very supportive but the days she struggles to stay within her calories she seems frustrated because I am not. She too is on MFP and having great success…

Just read your own chosen nick name "slim4health" Being healthy is what is what it is all about. You didn't mention if you are married or in a relationship but I can assure you that there are many men out here that don't really care about breast size, certainly not over the health of our partner. My wife is also losing a…
