Doesn't look like anyone is responding. :( It would be fin to find a local workout buddy.

Wow! We are all over the map. Living in Dallas, Texas here. Gotta find a way to get exercise in the heat without passing out.

I am here on my own Day 1 (not my first Day 1) at 410. You are not alone!

Name: Kim Height: 5'6" Heaviest Weight: 410 Starting Weight: 410 Goal Weight: <410 July 1: 410 July 8: July 15: July 22: July 29: Loss for the week: Loss for the month: I left MFP for a while and the entire process tanked. (TBH, it was already tanking when I left.) I haven't weighed yet today; I am using the weight from my…

Me too. I imagine that whether one likes or dislikes River plays a large part in one's opinion of the episode. Now that Moffat is leaving that is likely to be the last we see of her, which, I think, was the point. The look on the Doctor's face when he realized that River believed he didn't love her...wrenching. I think…

You would need to log the calories if you are logging.

My food yesterday was terrible (in a weight loss sense. It was delicious in reality.) but I kept the calorie count below my limit. So, yesterday was another small step in the right direction. Today I keep going.

I was 405 (at least) when I started here last summer. Walking is a great way to get moving, as has been said. If you have access to a pool, walking in waist- or chest-deep water is very nice. It takes away some of the impact, but adds resistance and a bit of fun. This can be done. There are people who have done it and…

tiny little voice peeking out from hiding- I'm back. Goals this week- Log Move Water Try to keep to calorie goals Don't get too down on myself for having a bad couple of months And get back on the forums, because having other souls for support is BIG.

Mine might seem obvious, but I chose it with a reason. I had spent years hiding from my weight (as if that is possible) and I decided to really OWN who I was and my struggle with food and exercise. (As well as with my self esteem and feeling invisible.)

I did the mini goal and I had totally forgotten that it was the minigoal.

I am so psyched right now! After over a week of feeling sluggish and eating terribly, and then feeling emotionally down because I wasn't eating right, which lead to poor eating, etc...I had a good day yesterday! And that led to me feeling great and getting up early and going to the gym, so I am on track for a good day…

Last week was terrible and it leaked into yesterday as well. I made terrible food choices and sat at my desk like a lump. Acting like a slug made me feel like a slug, made me act like a slug... and on and on. Time to dust myself off and get back to work. This week: 1. CALORIE GOAL (C'mon, Kim. It isn't that complicated.)…

I liked it. I liked the character of Philamena. She surprised me a few times, in a good way.

I have a FitBit, when I remember to wear it. Yesterday did not go well. I made the mistake of allowing things in the house for the rest of the family that I told myself I would ignore or only have in moderation. FAIL! That plus not getting sufficient exercise in makes me want to kick myself. I need to shake that off and…

Welcome, Mindy! You've come a long way and have a lot to be proud of.

Stepping on the scale this morning I had a bit of an epiphany. I don't actually believe I am losing weight. I get upset when people say not to pay too much attention to the scale. Because that number is all I have. (at least the disturbed part of my brain says) I do feel better physically, and I can do things I couldn't…

Goals update I only walked 10 minutes yesterday, for no other reason than that I was being a brat and didn't want to. I also over ate by a bit. See reason previously mentioned. However, I did do extra the day before, so if you average the two days, I am still ok. That is NOT a crutch i want to get in the habit of using,…

Jocoblossoming, I know what you mean about the emotions involved in losing weight. I know it is something I want and need, but it is sometimes scary. Being fat has been a wonderful scapegoat fact for whenever I need one. I'm not the best at a sport, well, of course not, I'm fat. Guy I like doesn't like me back, well, he…

*pant *wheeze *pant I may take longer than an hour before going for Walk 5. On the brighter side, my times have improved each walk.

I decided to try taking shorter walks more often today. When I finish here I will go for my 4th 10-minute walk, whereas I usually do a 30-minute walk every day (sometimes more.) I feel really good. Those 30 minute walks tend to end badly, wheezing and shin-splinty, etc. The legs have been hurting, but only near the end of…

Just about everything listed above. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Marvel, DC, Firefly, The Walking Dead, Arrow, Flash, Supernatural, Sort of Game of Thrones, DiscWorld, D&D, Dark Sun, Black Butler, Agents of Shield, Welcome to Nightvale... The list goes on and on. SailorAriel, it is nice to see…

Thank you, Italianbuju, and all of you, for this thread. I was feeling pretty sluggish and blah after lunch and NOT wanting to go for my walk. But, I had put walking as my weekly goal and that was a big push to getting off my seat. The gorgeous weather didn't hurt, either.

Goals- 1. Post here every day. (I haven't been making use of the forums as well as I could.) 2. 30 minute (or more) walk every day. 3. One day this week I want to get to 10k steps. I have done it before, it is very rare, though. 4. Log everything. It'll help if I make food choices I can be proud of. I drop off the logging…

LOL! I might start posting it this way. Wearing a heart rate monitor would be weird, though. Maybe when I get a wrist model that doesn't have a chest strap.

I was over 405 in July 2014. (Not sure exactly how high. My scale goes to 400. When I started I got ERR as my readout, but after a couple of weeks it said 405. Now I am at 368.

Do you REALLY BELIEVE you deserve the reward? There could be self esteem issues keeping you from rewarding yourself. I don't know you, nor am I a psychologist or anything. What would you spend the money on if not the phone? If you need it to pay rent, then please do the responsible thing. If you have changed your mind…

Mybesttobe, the real shame is in having these ailments and giving up. We are here because we are NOT going to give up!

Welcome!
