It sounds like Generalized Anxiety Disorder in my un-professional opinion! :wink: I've dealt with anxiety my entire life, I can definitely see what caused me to start worrying about everything as well as a genetic component. Let me tell you this---it will get WORSE as you get older---if you don't do something about it now.…

How did you find out about the hypothyroidism? My blood test came back normal, but I have most of the symptoms. How was it treated if you don't mind me asking? You look AMAZING!! Great job!!

LOL, for a second I actually wondered that!

I'm definitely interested in the responses you get on this! I have reflux issues that medicine doesn't always help, so I would love to know if there are some other tips out there!! GL!

MFP has my carbs set at 228!?! I've not had any problem hitting that number either :grumble: I don't even know where to start on cutting down to 100 carbs a day. I'm already over that & I haven't even had dinner. No wonder I don't lose weight :huh: *depressed now*

Interesting stuff!

Bahahahahsa

I belong to several other forums on different subjects & I swear to God I have NEVER dealt with such rude people! I get it, you don't like what the OP wrote...so just skip it, or correct it WITH SOME SEMBLANCE OF DECENCY!. I have questions, but do I ever want to ask them here? NO! Why? Because if you ask something that…

I make sure I keep some extra calories around so I can eat what I want (within reason of course). Nothing wrong with eating some cheese, just figure the calories & keep within those limits!

Wow! I've never heard of this! I wonder if it will help my super super thin skin down below my 3 times cut c-section scar?

So maybe I need to go back to the MFP settings for now...I was just wanting more food :laugh: I did mistakenly take my macros info off of a bodybuilding website...so that was dumb :embarassed: I just keep feeling like *something* is wrong. I don't want to feel so damn tired all the time!! More food or less food, less…

Well, I just realized I got my macros info off of a weightlifting site, LMAO! So I see what you are saying!

Thanks everyone! I logged today and I did totally need the kick in the butt...thanks!

Then how DO you lose weight? I'm honestly confused by this? Eat less crap, more healthy food which will be overall less calories, and exercise more....isn't that what MFP is all about? How is that a short term fix? And I'm not trying to be rude, I just keep reading this and am confused.

I think the "I hate myself" in your original post is very telling of depression. Normally you wouldn't feel that way unless you've done something very wrong. But when I'm depressed that is the exact feeling I have too. You REALLY need to get help...once you got the depression under control, losing weight and exercising…

I agree that you sound like you have depression. I've struggled with it most of my life. All of my family struggles with it and my brother recently took his life because of it. So I strongly suggest talking to your doctor. I take zoloft and it makes a WORLD of difference for me. When I was nursing we dropped it down to 25…

Bump

Holy cow!!! That looks great! So many times I see tummy tucks that look "weird". I don't know how to explain it, pulled...stretched... just not natural. But yours looks 100% natural and so awesome!!! Can I ask how much it cost? (Don't answer if you prefer not to!) Awesome on the weight loss too!

Thanks! I did notice that going up and down the stairs is a bit painful. I don't think it's shin splints, I *think* I've had those from jogging...they were more in the front of the leg. This is kind of the knee and down the back. It's weird, I've never even felt these muscles before! LOL I think I will just modify the…

Awesome! I look forward to the day when people notice! That is such great encouragement!

Wow! That's awesome! My stupid scale is barely moving :( Keep up the good work!

HOLY COW!! You look awesome!!! You should be so proud! I have a long way to go, but this definitely encourages me!

:laugh: Someone needs to tase me before I open MCD's door....

This is so interesting!! My husband and I both have been exercising everyday, staying right around or under a bit, of our calorie goal and we aren't losing anything :( Some days we eat back our exercising calories, sometimes not. We both are feeling a bit let down that our work isn't showing on the scale. Perhaps this…

It's happened to me too (before I ever had babies and weighed maybe 150?) I was working and a little old lady said "Oh, you're getting big!" I said, oh...I'm not pregnant. She insisted I was! LOL I cried the whole way home. The next time I saw her she said "Are you SURE you're not pregnant?" COME ON!! Of course I was…

I started at 181 am now at 170 and am aiming for 135-140. I have a medium frame and at one point I was down to 127 and I had people say I looked "gross"....nice compliment huh? Looking at pictures, my head & hands looked huge! LOL So I think staying under 140 would be a good goal, and not getting obsessed and crazy will…

This is awesome! Your before pics look a lot like mine...I can't tell from the pics if you have stretch marks or loose skin like I do though. I was getting really depressed seeing everyone's bellies that look better in their "before" than mine do after 10 lbs down, but seeing your "after" pic has motivated me to keep…

I'm interested in the answer to this question too. I lost 40lbs on WW back in 2003 and I had a hard time maintaining. IDK why, but I did. By 2007 I was up 15 lbs and then got pregnant and I haven't tried to lose weight since, and I had another baby in 2009. I'm done having kids, so I thought maybe I could maintain easier…

I have a hard time doing anything for "myself" so I do it for my kids. I want to be alive and healthy to babysit & enjoy my grandchildren. But even sooner than that I want to be able to hike, camp, dance, run, play ball and actually have some energy to play with my kids. I have about 30 pounds to lose, but I want to gain…

Awesome!! Do you have any before/after pics? I am on day 2 and it's kicking my butt, I'd love to see some pics so keep me motivated!! BTW- I have a total spare tire, I hope it will help that!!
