Oh my, was just looking back at this after I've gained some weight back. That whole thing about staying away from negative people, they seem to seek me out. I'm trying to get back on track though. Reading all of these comments is inspiring me. Thanks, everyone!

My feet look NOTHING like they used to. They used to be swollen and square looking. They look like actual feet now. I have no idea what happened, but I can wear things with block heals now and cute sandals I would never dream of wearing before.

Outfit is from Torrid....they have the BEST clothing.

Thanks everyone! I FEEL younger. I turned 37 in March :happy:

Celebrating 10 sizes down this week.......... MOTIVATION--seeing your old size 32 jeans next to your new size 22 jeans.

You know, I try to stay a positive person and I don't like to use profanity online if I can help it...BUT I would've just looked at him and told him to go **** himself. Sorry if that offends anyone.

I'm fine. I eat about 1200 to 1500 a day, exactly what myfitnesspal calculates for me. AND NO, people that have ALWAYS been slim DON'T understand what it feels like to have hunger pains constantly when you're eating "normally." At my heaviest, I always felt like I could never get enough to stop the hunger. Now that I've…

Thank you everyone for your comments. That's what keeps me motivated! Best wishes to all of you.

Wanted to share this too...it's a process. It takes time. I always had a problem with instant gratification. Like if people didn't notice when I lost 20lbs, I gave up. They didn't even really notice when I lost 50lbs because it was over such a period of time. You have to remember who you're doing this for...YOURSELF.

How did I do it? A lot of things...my parents & my aunt all died the same year at young ages and it kind of snapped me out of whatever mindset I was in and I just knew I was going to die if I didn't get healthy. I also got custody of my aunt's daughter and I wanted to be there for her...I started walking about 1 or 2 miles…

I took this after loosing 95lbs last month. It's my Drivers' License's picture taken in March 2012. The next picture is this week at 103lbs lost. I'd like to loose at least another 100lbs.

Ugh, yeah, I really would rather not have surgery.

But I see what you're saying.

3500 calories=1lb...Goggle it

Hi, I'm 36. I starting losing weight in April of 2012 & I've lost 86lbs so far. I want 14lbs more gone by April so I guess I'll be averaging about 50lbs a year. I still would like to lose 100lbs more after that.

You're awesome! That's so inspiring. I'd love to be around 180-190lbs.

Oh, it's funny, disgusting, but funny. Glad it made you laugh.

My disgusting waste of a cousin who is in his 30's, lives with his mother, and doesn't work took a piece of her oxygen tubing and cut it. He used it for a straw. He stuck it in a 2 liter of soda that sat on the floor while he sat in the recliner and watched TV. Laziest thing I've ever seen. It almost embarrasses me to say…

You look awesome. I'd love to be about 180.

Any Jack White band, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Stone Temple Pilots, Collective Soul, Soundgarden, Audio Slave, Alice In Chains, Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Korn, Live, The Killers, AWOLNATION, Imagine Dragons..... I love Rock....all genres...too many to name.

No, I've known her since high school. She's got 3 different baby daddies and I'm pretty sure she was with him for his money. Only she got fooled cuz he got custody. This isn't just things he's told me. I know her. I know of her. I know people that know her and everyone pretty much is of the same opinion.

And who said I wanted that? To me, that's not attractive.

Wow, never expected this many responses...maybe I should give a little more detail. I've known him for about 4 years because I work with him...not in the same department so I didn't see him that much. I used to think he was the biggest jerk ever. Until, I started babysitting for him and then, I got to see a completely…

It's okay to be a little crazy, like fun crazy. But you just don't understand the level of crazy she is.

Sure, I'm in.

I started at 400lbs and just weighed in at 315 today.

I don't agree with everyone saying don't deny yourself. If you're like me, I won't stop. Once I start getting junk food into my system, I just want more and more. I say fight it like a smoker craving a cigarette. You wouldn't light up and just have one and expect to stop there. Nope, then you're headed to the store to buy…

Thanks everyone for your input. I just do what works for me. As for seeing a doctor, I would if I could afford it. I ironically work at a hospital and the medical insurance is so high I can't afford it. Just a fact. I wish all of you the best with whatever goals you're trying to reach. I feel better than I have in years.…
