Hey! I'm Lori and I'm 26, about to be 27. I've been here a while and been in this group for a hot minute too. My starting weight was 347, and I'm down to 278. I've had my ups and downs, but I've super determined. I've started back working out 2 weeks ago and already feeling better both physically and mentally so I'm very…

Awesome!! :D

Hey 3.6lbs is great. The biggest problem I had was I always tried to look at the BIG picture. The MASSIVE goal line that is so far away. And it's super super discouraging. Like others have said... make yourself small goals. They don't even have to be weight related really. I celebrate my logging streak (which I ruined back…

This was honestly the BIGGEST fear that I had when I started to lose weight. Like I see on The Extreme Weight loss show, and different post. And I was seriously TERRIFIED to have that. And then as I started losing weight something happened. Like I noticed that my stomach kind of hangs down a bit more the more I lose, and I…

Got to get back into doing all this right. I've been over eating and not going to the gym. Luckily not gained anything. I've just stayed the same. However, today I went over my cals... but not so much that I won't burn like double that at the gym tonight! :)

Uuuugh. I don't even want to think about today.... Whataburger killed my calories, and it isn't even a gym night... *sigh* tomorrow is another day.

@maoribadger Thank you so much! :D

@Knitormiss Never assume you would be too old for a con. Like trust me, there are ELDERLY people I have met who are just having a blast. Last year it was an elderly couple, the wife was in the Halloween Tin Man dress, and her husband was dressed as Dorothy, dress, ruby slippers, and a pigtail hairband. So you are never too…

I haven't posted in this in a while. I got kind of upset once august hit. I had lost like 4lbs in a month and something about that just kind of upset me because I was hoping for more. And then Gishwhes started last week and I was busy with that and then I sprained my ankle the second day of it. And I haven't been to the…

Hi Amy! There isn't really anything I could say that these lovely people haven't already said. :) So I just wanted to write a post to welcome you to the group.

@julieworley37 - That really sucks about people quitting. And seriously best of luck in the interview!!! :) @Macrelmar - I am so sorry to hear that. I slightly know how that feels, and I really am sorry. My day hasn't been too bad really. I'm still sleeping too late and not eating breakfast... and I know I should. -___-…

Hi Karen! I know it sounds super generic, but I really hope that you start getting better very soon. I have "undiagnosed" social anxiety. I put undiagnosed in quotations, because technically my doctor hasn't like really diagnosed it, she just gave me anxiety pills to see if it would help me, because I explained what was…

Aww thanks you guys. :D When I am away early I do eat breakfast, and one the school year starts back, and I start working again, I'll be having breakfast as well. It's just right now in the summer and I want to sleeep. It's hot and humid outside. lol. And I have to ask, because I saw it on the boards, and now here... what…

My friends are actually really shocked about my diligence in making sure I log everything. Like if I go to one of their houses and they are cooking something, they'll let me scan the bar codes. I tend to apologize because I feel like I'm wasting their time, and they responded with "No it's cool, like seriously, I wish I…

Ate a bit more than I have been. Though that's because I actually woke up early enough for breakfast. I know... I know I should be eating breakfast... but when sometimes you sleep till 12 or 1... you just kind of skip it. I've been going to the gym, about 4 times a week. Though that's mostly because I've been meaning to go…

Blegh, I mean to actually post a check in last night. I really should get in the habit of doing these more. I went out an ate yesterday... and I didn't chose the healthiest thing... so I was super over my calories. But I at least didn't eat the whole mean in one sitting. That's a plus. But last night was my second time in…

I do. I've had friends offer to work out with me... but they are all in better shape than me so I just get nervous. I now joined a 2r hour gym and go at midnight so I am basically alone and its helped me.

Good good so I'm not the only one. I really want to get a scale, because right now I just have to go by the "about 7 servings" and just divide everything into seven groups. Though I tend to just go ahead and divide it into 8 just for good measure. Once I get a scale, I can imagine it going a lot smoother and faster. lol.…

I tend to weight myself daily in the morning after my morning potty time. Personally it just feels the best. And I like to weight daily because I just like to see how food affected me. And now I'm in the habit of only logging it if it's lower than my previous weigh in lol.

Sorry I haven't really been updating. I tend to use my app for this, and it doesn't have the community at all. And so I really need to try and remember to get on here to actually check in. Today was great. I have been house siting all weekend, and I basically lived off lean pockets, special K bars, and coffee... probably…

Well yesterday was my birthday, so I kind of splurged. Which I had planned so I gave no regrets. Today was still a bit bad. As in I ate left over junk and bought junk to eat. I ate too much and got sick. Oddly I found it a sign of progress. Because what I ate.... before I could have easily put back no problem. But now my…

I'm in even though I'm a few days late, so I don't think I'll actually get the challenge. Is there 28 days left. Can I still make it if I exercise every day including today? Well either way, I'm gonna try and exercise every day.

Cosplaying is where you dress up as movie/comic book/ video game characters. I like to dress up and go to conventions. Its just when you are obese you get constantly overlooked. And I mean I'm always worried I'm going to come home and find my pic on a fat cosplayer page making fun of me.

I like this British show called Super fat vs Super Skinny you can find some on youtube. And it takes two people from complete opposite ends of the spectrum and they switch diets. And it shows them how much and how little they actually eat. And while it is an extreme diet on both ends, it shows one that they can eat and be…

So do we do check ins in the morning before the start of the day? Or in the evening after the day? Or just whenever? lol. Let see... what am I grateful for. 1. Super grateful that the storms last night were basically nonexistent. Which was a relief because we were all worried it was going to be just like the other night.…

I honestly feel I'm very beautiful. Like some days I'll look in the mirror, or take a picture and I"m just like... yes... But like all people I have my days. And I don't like seeing pictures taken of me... by like anyone but me for the most part lol.

Today wasn't a great day for me... exercise wise. After the stress and lack of sleep last night. (I live in Alabama, tornadoes galore, but me and my family are safe and fine)... I found out the schools were closed today, so I didn't work. I took today as a sleep day. Between the lack of sleep and the allergies meds I took…

Hiii! I'm Lori, I'm about to be 24, I'm 5'10" and I'm about 315 pounds. I've been using Myfitnesspal since basically the beginning of the year, and I'm pretty happy that I've been keeping up with my food, even when I go over. And it's help, because I am about 15lbs down from where I started. I started gaining weight when I…

Oh god I have so many. Clothes shopping with my friends. Because none of them seem to understand I can hardly EVER find clothes for me that fit the style I want. Going out to eat with my friends. Going out to eat period. Going anywhere with people. Because I know people are judging me. Going to a place and looking around…
