WOW I misspoke. I stand corrected. I always equated genes to habits and weight (obesity) as the result.

Thanks, interesting...I wonder if it's the eating habits that's more genetic rather than being naturally overweight. I have never met a person who is overweight genetically but eat very healthy and live an active lifestyle. I think it's the "lifestyle" we choose to live. Genetics come to play in the amount of fat cells we…

Goal: 180, I'm 6 feet started at 346 lbs.

I think your post demonstrates the lack of understanding of the struggle people who are extremely overweight fight with everyday. Your struggle isn't the same...and that has nothing to do with weight but more to do with self. It's apparent you have self image issues, and judging others isn't going to solve them. As others…

Moisture.... Drink water and lotion up...eventually your skin will tighten up. Here's a great article on loose skin: http://ifitandhealthy.com/how-to-tighten-loose-skin-after-weight-loss/

Okay I'll be waiting. Sounds fun! :bigsmile:

Same problem, I can only wear my clothes twice before they get loose. It's a great problem to have. I'm having to shop at some of the less expensive store so I don't "waste" money...(Wal-Mart, JC Penny, Sears) not my preference I really enjoy more fashionable stores however I also enjoy being able to wear my clothes more…

I think I did LOL.... My face structure is more defined... :blushing:

I never have your problem unless I work out a lot that day as I do not eat back my exercise points. Interesting though...my body wouldn't be able to function off of one meal. My blood sugar, mood and energy plummets if I don't eat every 2-3 hours :ohwell:

Sounds like a plan! Thanks :happy:

What's the challenge, I would like to join.

Took me about 20 -25 pounds, of course I'm tall and had a lot to lose. Now it's about 10-15 pounds or so.

Okay thanks :happy: The next round is July 31?

Great job!

You look AMAZING! Awesome!

If I don't put enough lotion on my hands and feet they look like I dipped them in Flour. I have a gas problem, and probably fart at least a 100 times a day. :embarassed:

Same here- Music!

Any room for another contestant? :smile:

I won last month, so give it to the second in line :wink: You can check out my diary if you like. I try to eat pretty clean. I focus more on diet (food consumption) than exercise however I do exercise 5-6 days a week. I measure and weigh my foods and only eat the serving size. So portion control is 90% of my success.…

Weighing in for Foo(d) Fighters, 227- lost 2.8 Morning everyone!

I'm no where near 50, yet, however the starvation mode is a myth!!! I eat roughly around 1,200-1,300 calories a day and I never eat ANY of my 500-1000 daily exercise calories back and I'm losing just fine. Losing weight is about calories in being less than calories out. I would suggest cleaning up your diet. Paying…

Thanks, my current weight as of Saturday is 229. I'm soooooo anxious!

<--- Recent. Thanks everyone!!! I'm 20 pounds lighter than those pics on page 1... :bigsmile: Weight loss never felt so good...40 more to go (upped my goal)! :smokin: (I don't smoke LOL)

Now that's the spirit!!! :bigsmile: I can't wait to hit Onederland...30 pounds to go! :wink:

My cousin said that to me recently; he's the same cousin that used to call me Jolly Green Elephant. So I brushed it off :laugh: They aren't used to seeing you so sexy....give them time to adjust. :blushing:

Hello! Can we reframe from saying how disgusted you are at your height and current weight? For example "I'm 6'0 and weigh 180 and I'm disgusted at how I look" For some, your current weight is my goal weight and it's not too exciting hearing how disgusted you are at the weight I desire. :laugh: Good day everyone! :bigsmile:…

Congrats!!!! :bigsmile:

Doing well. Surviving the heat, and preparing for my b-day celebration at the end of the month. YAY! Can't wait.

According to my Weight record (Weigh ins on Saturday) -April 30th- 246 -May 28th- 233 Total- 13 pounds.

I weigh all food raw but I'm not sure if that correct or not.
