The more weight I lose the more I realized how much I didn't like. I suppose what I hated the most was the denial. What scares me the most is that maybe I didn't define myself as anything but a fat girl unworthy of love and success. I hate that being fat was such a integral part of my identity, and I think that mindset is…

I just recently got back into logging every day and would love more friends as well. Starting weight: 320. Current weight: 238.5. Goal: somewhere in the 150-170 range. Feel free to add me!

Thats absolutely fantastic! You look great and should be incredibly proud! I can't wait to be in onederland!

I signed up for my first 5k in November. I'm hoping that within that time I will be able to complete the program and complete the color run! I'm really excited to become a runner. I have always been jealous of my younger brother who now goes on 12 mile runs almost daily.

FANTASTIC!! :)

Whats truly strange about this topic is that for me personally I had to stop hating myself for the process to really begin. I had to know that I deserved better health before I could really make any sort of long term effort. Prior to that I would have maybe three or four good days, then I wouldn't care after that. It was…

For me people began noticing shortly after I had lost 10 pounds. I always lose weight first in my face and chest, which has now proved to be annoying (even after losing 65 pounds I can barely see a difference in the rest of my body) although it was nice to have compliments early. I am also lucky to be surrounded by a lot…

I stared at 320, and now I am down to 255! Feel free to add me! I love making new friends on here!

I do too? Well I guess we won't be dating anytime soon. Also no need to talk down :). Everyone has different likes.

Yes valid point. I just assumed since the question at hand had to deal with dating I would explain my reasoning. I guess I should have just provided a yes or no answer :P

I thought we were all discussing dating, which sex is major part of. I promise I don't need to go on message boards and hope for attention from people I don't know. I'm sorry if it came off that way.

If someone doesn't have the time to do that at least once and awhile I won't be happy haha.

Jealous. I had the opposite experience, which ultimately ended both of my long term relationships. I can go all night, so overweight or not thats something I need in a man.

I have almost exclusively dated obese men. I do believe for me personally its more important who they are not what they look like. But I am overweight myself so I think more often similar bodies find each other. My dilemma was that while dating overweight men who were not active at all they couldn't keep up with my…

Yes friend us! We are nice funny women trying to get smaller!

Oh you are too sweet to think that, being overweight for most of my life I had learned at a young age how to fool photographs with angles haha. Currently I am in a size 22 and its getting to the point where I can grab entire fist of material at my but even when they are newly washed.

I would pay the shipping to send clothes to people who need clothes. I honestly think that its one of the hardest things about losing a sizable amount of weight. You are so happy when the numbers on the scale keep going down, but then the clothes you loved for so long and did great things for your body all of a sudden no…

Just hit 50 pounds lost last week thanks to the gym in my apartment building opening up again. The first photo I weighed somewhere in around 320. The second photo was 271. When I lose the second set of 50 pounds I should have a better before and after, and maybe fear taking photos of my body a little less. And congrats to…

My Tuesday Triumph is when I got on the scale this morning I have officially lost over 50 pounds from my highest weight and I couldn't be happier. Most days I feel bad about how much more weight I have to lose (sadly I am only around a third of the way there), but today I am basking in my accomplishment. Another triumph is…

Anyone can add me :). I started at 320 and now I am down to 274.2. Its daunting some days to think that I am only one third of the way there, but I feel so much better that I usually don't get too worried about it. My ultimate goal weight as of right now would be somewhere between 160-180. Lets all do this :).

Hello everyone!! I'm Madison, and I am 4 pounds away from losing my first 50 pounds from my highest weight. What can get me down is although I have made progress I am only 1/3 of the way there. I still need to lose 100 pounds even after I reach this goal. Some days it gets hard, but I do feel so much better about myself.…

Hi I'm Madison, and new as well (at least to posting here!). If anyone wants new friends feel free to add me! I would love to be apart of new support groups. This app has been incredibly helpful in changing my pretty awful eating habits, but most importantly for me it hasn't been difficult at all! Good luck to everyone!
