A soft butch lesbian, but there is a 1% chance I would give my gold star away if I fell in love with a guy. Don't see that ever happening though, but there is one I can think of so I include it. With gender I'm queer. Like half the time I'm male and hate my body and the other half I love being female.

bumping because it's the sweetest thing I've read on the boards!

Those guys are a bunch of jerks. We all start somewhere and they had to lift the same as you to get where they are. Also, it sounds like they aren't focusing enough on their workout if they have time to judge others! Look at other gyms, but remember that people who are rude like that are usually the most unhappy with their…

I can already see a difference especially in your stomach! Great work you should feel proud! :D

Lmao! I'm also learning the hard way that it makes you energetic that you just want to share the hot body with others. (sorry if TMI)

I have a problem with procrastination and my therapist told me that "Action comes before motivation". This is what I tell myself when I find myself waiting to FEEL like doing something. Once I force myself to start then in about five minutes or so I actually want to be doing what I'm doing. I hope things get better,…

The Phantom of the Opera is pretty effin amazing. I gave it a try even though I'm not much of a classics fan and I fell in love.

While other stud/butches are hot, I always have a weak spot for femmes.

Today he actually texted me first about the whole thing saying he was feeling a bit better about it. He expressed that he was really embarrassed and worried he acted inappropriately so I comforted him saying his feelings were genuine and we loved him no matter what. Idk, he has an easier time talking with me about these…

Thanks for sharing your story! I'm currently on a plateau and feel so frustrated with it. I even reconsidered anorexia like I was ten years ago. This really encouraged me to continue fighting the weight battle without starving myself.

Also, if you are able to try out aqua jogging. That's what I do since my running shoes are ruined and I'm waiting for my next paycheck. You go through the same running motion but without the wear and tear on your body while working out your body through water resistance. I highly recommend it.

You might have to change your running routine to make it more gradual. That's what my friend did with the C25k or else she would have health problems. Now she's 200 pounds lighter and runs 5 miles each day. Keep at it, and you'll become addicted to running!

Oh we're everywhere, girls. :)

The office rumor is that I'm bulimic which sort of bugged me at first because it's like they didn't expect me to lose weight through hard work. Now I just laugh at it.

Music and my imagination

This is wonderful and I'm so proud of you!!

I highly recommend making a goal of just one pound a week. It requires more patience, but rapid weight loss will lead to sassy excess skin for certain.

Haha I'm at that point! Does it come or go or does it become a regular thing? Wouldn't hurt, because I need tons of housework done anyways.

I understand the feeling! I'm from south east Kentucky and when my girlfriend's grandma cooks her hot browns it's hard to deny it. I think people that say it shouldn't be hard doesn't understand that in the south we fry everything and use tons of butter. I also notice that in Appalachia we're a culture of emotional eaters…

Don't listen to this person. ^

Today I went up four flights of stairs without being winded.

I'm half Cherokee, but I feel like I'm so early in my story to really talk about success. I have been fitting in my old jeans from college and fitting on my favorite roller coasters. I'm also much happier and have better stamina at work. Other than that, it's just the beginning and I have a long road to go.

Swimming is the perfect exercise! Do it!! I used to be self conscious too until one day I saw a burn victim at the water park and realized if she can strut with confidence then I have no excuse. I still find myself worrying my leg jiggles are gross, but then I have to tell myself "If I'm not as sexy as them then at least I…

Never lose hope! Just be yourself and you'll find the perfect someone for you.

Exactly three years ago I was helping a friend move into his dorm and a friend of his walked into the room. I thought she was the most beautiful person and it was literally love at first sight (it might have been karma for me always saying that it was bogus). Though I fell for her that second, I knew she was way out of my…

Actually I'm obese because of grief after losing my mother figure and food being a delicious comfort. :)

Other than the obvious "Actually sticking to it", whenever I am uncertain of my amount of food or how much calories my exercise was I always overestimate my calorie intake and underestimate my burn. For example, I'm not sure if my mother in law served a 1 or 1.5 cups of mashed potatoes today so I just logged 1.5 to be…

Wow!! You look amazing! You can see so much more life in you eyes now. :)

Congrats!!

I feel like I just read a beautiful love story. What a wonderful nsv!!
