The confidence and self respect that weight loss has given me.

Turkey sausage, eggs over easy and toast.

I don't, but it's very likely that their goals and mine are different not to mention that the majority of the videos that I've seen are young men who haven't walked the same path as I have which is why I posted the question and my info on a weight loss website not a weightlifting/bodybuilding site. I figure that I'm much…

It's really not bad but enough that I notice it and am aware of it and would like to address it.

I’m grateful for the MFP site. I’m grateful for my friends who have lost incredible amounts of weight and motivated me to do better. I’m grateful for all of the free advice and help offered here. I’m grateful for the support and for the self-respect & pride that I now have in myself because of my success. I’m grateful for…

Screw the pie... I think girls who like pie are hot. :laugh:

228.2 as of 6:30am today. I'm ok with anyone knowing or asking, I've worked damn hard to get there and I'm still working for a better number. It doesn't keep me honest with anyone but myself, that's all that really matters to me.

I completely disagree with the thought of weighing yourself only weekly or bi-weekly, I weigh everyday and it has given me a great insight as to how my body decides it's going to get rid of weight no matter what I do. If I had only weighed weekly or less I wouldn't understand that my body holds onto weight/water then with…

Best: Beautiful hair Worst: Looks sad. 

Rule # 1. Weight loss is not linear. Rule # 2. Please see Rule # 1. You will retain water, you will pee/sweat it out. Stop worrying, you're fine just let nature take it's course in its own time.

Yes, yes I think I am.... :laugh:

That's wrong on so many levels I just don't know where to start.... :noway:

Obviously they're the same thing...

Screw it, you only live once. Everybody will likely be drunk anyway, worse case you'll have a cool story to tell. It's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

Apparently my hipness has waned in my old age, I don't think I've ever heard that before, getting old blows...

Not sure, I don't listen to her much as she's way to far left for my tastes.

I tend to steal them outta the neighbors garden when he isn't home... (Truthfully I'm just in for the recipe ideas.)

That right there is funny I don't care who you are...

Dana Loesch (pronounced Lash) is a conservative radio personality and she's snarky. I assumed your name was a play on hers.

Well you come on here acting the part of the sarcastic funny fat girl then get pissy when people call you on it., hell even your screen name is modeled after a radio personality with that persona. You ask for help in getting you in line or giving you a kick in the *kitten* when you need it and then get pissy when people…

You're feeling demoralized by losing 56lbs in 5 weeks and then only losing 2lbs? Jesus this is a tough crowd.... You state you work out maybe 3 times a week, what are you doing with the other 4 days? If you want to lose weight you have to put the effort in, in my opinion 3 days isn't close to enough for what you want to…

I lost 39.8lbs in 3 months but it was just how the chips fell. I started at 337lbs so it came off pretty fast, I ate between 1800-2200 calories and exercised hard (cardio mostly) at least 6 days a week. My advice is just work towards your ultimate goal and don't set yourself up for failure trying to hit an unattainable…

Here's the good news, you're only 22 years old so there's a good chance that your skin will recover after a few years, you're lucky. I'm 30 years older than you and I'm already talking to a surgeon. Stop worrying and spend your time on eating right and exercise!

In reading the title of the thread my first advice was going to be "The 3 S's". Shoot - Shovel - Shut up It really doesn't apply now though, sigh...

I carry a firearm with me anytime I go anywhere, you never know when or where a 2 or 4 legged predator is going to turn up. Do you have the ability to carry some sort of self defense?

BOOM! Outstanding story and tribute to your hard work! I love it when a plan comes together.

I denied you before you even sent the request... :laugh:

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!! He is exactly correct, I weigh every day and the fluctuations help me understand that no matter how well I stick to the plan there are some things that I just can't control. To the OP I would say to weigh and measure a bit more often and 6 months is way to long to wait to reach a goal, set small goals…

You may not be losing weight but are you losing inches? You state that you're lifting weights also, are you trading fat for muscle on the scale?

^^^ Respect, you just earned mine.
