Yes I hate getting comments on my weight no matter what it is. I've been some different weights throughout my life due to illness and also some medications I've taken. I've been bone thin with some people telling me I look terrible, too skinny, etc. and others telling me they are jealous. I've been heavy, like right now…

I didn't mean to offend your gentle souls with that foul word. Excuse me.

To everyone talking about "being an adult" and moving out, that's not the point. The point is she feels alone and judged and unsupported so she came to myfitnessPAL and had a little rant like anyone might - here in a place where people supposedly have similar goals. The point is she's trying to plan and prepare and she's…

who on earth eats half a donut??? i'm in the wrong place

I'm surprised so many people are telling you to eat a donut when it's pretty clear you don't want to eat one. I guess the only thing you can do is try not to go near the room where the smell is and maybe find something else to focus your attention on. popupvideo - I also don't want her to eat it if she doesn't want to. The…

So do you just tell your partner who is also an adult and shares a home with you that they can't being their food home and keep it there? I don't understand how that works.

I love all these tips of not bringing food in your house that you know you shouldn't eat. Are you the only one living in your house? That doesn't work for me.

this sounds like a really good idea

Maybe you could take him to the gym with you and he could talk to a trainer to learn about weight lifting. Sounds like he doesn't know much. Would he trust a weight lifting website? Sounds like he doesn't trust what you say about it so you might be able to introduce him to a source of information he'll trust.

here i am mid 30s and supportive. i added you :)

Hi, 6'1" woman here. Any tall ladies please add me! My goal is 165 and I'm currently at 224. I definitely feel like it's tougher being a tall woman when you are also heavier. Like being extremely tall didn't make me stand out enough already. About heels, I wore them all the time when I was younger! Up to 3 inches because I…

Hi, I read all these. Thanks for posting them. I hadn't thought about buying a digital scale, but I'm going to start thinking about it!

I just saw that there is a whole recipe section in the forums :) I guess we can post there. I'll look up the two I was thinking of. I got them online so I just need to link them. And then we can keep sharing as we find good ones. I definitely can't keep up with eating different food from my kids and husband. I lost weight…

If it's about comfort foods I've got a few recipes that are healthier versions - like chili and pot pie. I've got a husband and kids who like comfort foods (I do, too) and I'm trying to get us all eating the same things, so I'm trying to find recipes that work for us all. I haven't been active on the forums, so I don't…

Hi I added you as a friend. I'm trying to make my health a priority, too, but I also know how hard it is while taking care of a family. I'm also really nervous about posting on forums so....
