I injured both my my knees about 3 years ago at a time when I was totally destitute. No medical care whatsoever. My husband had to care for me as I lay in bed for over 4 months waiting for my knees to mend enough for me to try to learn to walk on them. They are still a mess after all this time but little by very little…

I am sure you know that you need to eat less calories, but the real question is, how do you do that and feel satisfied, and get all the nutrition you need? Everyone has a different approach and it is up to you do develop a strategy that works for you, but I will tell you what works for me. I make the bulk of my diet, meat…

Every ten pounds is a mini goal for me.

Sorry, by "fat blaming" I was referring to other comments on this thread. I was responding to you first and then the thread generally. There are some pretty nasty and defensive comments here. Totally unnecessary as we are just having a conversation. People need to lighten up, for real. Anyway, do keep in mind my hub is way…

It seems we have a different opinion of what "naturally thin" means. Not just you but others here. Some people say "Oh he is not naturally thin, he just has a higher metabolism or TDEE" or whatever other factor. To me that means he has a natural tendency to be able to eat far more food than I do, and stay thin. To me, that…

I heard a rumor recently that a woman tends to be more fertile while she is losing weight than if she was maintaining a weight, be it healthy or not. Anyone hear this? Any truth to it you think?

Thanks, yeah sorry to hear about your loss too. It is really sad but it does just happen. I am ok about it and hopeful for the future. I figured out that I may be pregnant because suddenly my appetite was out of control and I was gaining weight again. It went on like this for about a month before I thought, hmmmm. Then…

Well, I just started here, but feel free to check out my food diary. On a typical week my husband will stay home every day (he goes two to three weeks at times without going into the office) and eat pretty much what I eat since I cook for both of use jsut about every day, only with portions around 1/4 to 1/2 more than mine…

I cannot prove it here, obviously, but like in the examples I explained above he definitely, absolutely eats far more calories than I do. And everyone does not have the same metabolism. Heredity, gender, weight, muscle mass, etc play a role. His is naturally higher. Just the way it is. It probably even gets a boosts from…

TRULY magic? No. LIKE magic? Seems so. It just obviously works on a higher level than mine does. It is simply one of those factors that can make people appear to be naturally thin. He is also always REALLY hot. So that is definitely a sign that his body is just cooking up whatever he puts into it.

Aha I did not notice that you were in kg. Also I did not mean to belittle your efforts, if, perhaps it appeared I did so. Anyway best of luck to you and keep at it! Don't let vanity get in the way. If you don't love the way you look when you lose weight just remember that you are HEALTHIER! and that goes a long way!

Haha Girl you just described my husband to a T, even his weight and height! Only I do make most of his meals and make sure he eats healthy foods, but I do typically put more onto his plate than onto mine. Then he goes and has a Dr. Pepper on top of it and maybe some chips or ice cream later! Lucky thin *kitten* (who I…

He is FAR more sedentary than I am. We are both sedentary. Me because of knee injuries that have failed to heel in three years, and he because he has a mild case of cerebral palsy and is also just simply VERY lazy! lol. If I did not force him to stand up and at least stretch a few time s a day he would just sit in his char…

You can't expect 100% constant success. Backsliding happens. Just start thinking about what you want and let the motivation start coming back to you. Give it a day or a week or however long it takes to really feel ready to go full force again. It the depressed feelings don't let up then you might need some help, but a lot…

Well, I have lost about 20 pounds so far. I am not on a special diet. I do just eat healthy food with proper portions. A lot of people have a different idea of what "eating healthy" is, so it is important to be clear on your meaning. I explained my eating style here.…

My husband is like a rail. He eats far more than me at each meal, drinks sugary sodas and coffee drinks regularly and snacks a lot. He is almost half my weight. We have been together over 5 years with this difference in our eating styles and he never gains weight. I would say he is one of those naturally thin people. They…

hi. I am new too, just joined yesterday. I got to where I am by under eating a lot and thus killing my metabolism, and then eating large meals when I could afford food. I eat pretty well now but I guess I still under eat a bit judging by yesterday's calories I logged. Oh well, we can only try to do better! I sometimes wish…

I got pregnant a couple months ago while losing weight but I lost it a couple weeks ago. I hope to get pregnant again soon though! The weight loss for me is all about health and not about vanity. I want to feel better and have a healthy pregnancy. Congrats on being where you are!

I like to weight myself every morning, nude and after I go to the bathroom. Like others have mentioned the point of this is consistency and it also is nice that this is typically the lowest weight of the day. It is definitely not cheating like you think it is. You want to weight yourself, not the water or food you eat. Any…

Saggy elbows. I had them back even when I was somewhat thin, but they are worse now. I think I will always have them even if I get thin as a rail. ick.

Well, I ate 1400-ish yesterday, and even thought I over ate a bit! All homemade fresh food, ok except the jarred pasta sauce, which I usually make myself, but ya know.. I cheat occasionally too! Anyway, I know I eat more than that on some days, but it felt just fine and I was fully satisfied. I can give you more details…

HAHA!!! Yeah ok It had to be on a different date. Thanks! All fixed!

Could it be because I am trying to do it on the same day? I lost weight since my highest, which was about 300, and that is where I want my ticker to start, even though today, as I am making my profile here, I am actually 279. Am I able to do it the way I want to?

Aww, hey thanks so much! I am quite confident in my ability to get fit again. I used to be quite fit. Used to do martial arts, yoga, and cardio and lift weights! I LOVED IT! Life just got really REALLY hard for a long time and I became hopeless. I was in college for a while, and wanted to continue, but... oi long story…

Hi! I am new here too and I would also like buddies. BTW 60 pounds! GREAT JOB so far! I have lost about 20 so far! Add me if You like.

nom! I love pizza! But I do tend to feel sluggish afterwards. This helps me to avoid it more often, but that doesn't mean I don't have it from time to time! My favorite toppings are spicy Italian sausage with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes! YUM! My perfect pizza.

I just signed up too! I'll say I wish I was where you are, though that does not mean that I don't understand how important it is for you to get fit. You can DEFINITELY do it! Once you really get into the swing of things, I think you'll be shocked at how quickly you shape up! Where you are is not far from fit even if it…

I am brand new but I do want to have active friends here. I will be logging daily. I wish I could work out like you do. I used to but now I have injuries that hold me back. SO FRUSTRATING! Anyway I'll see you around!
