I think this is possible in two ways- you're completely sick and not eating because you're too sick. Or your fasting or juicing to the point that you are losing a *kitten* ton of weight that you will immediately gain back when you eat food again. Not healthy and nearly impossible. I wouldn't try it. I have lost 10 lbs in a…

I've struggled with depression most of my life. Something a therapist told me once in a critical time for me was that I needed to make my world bigger. Walk some dogs at the shelter, cook, go on a vacation, join a group or club in an activity you enjoy. Your world will get bigger and bigger. But you have to force yourself…

Muhammad Ali. His son was playing a baseball game and I went up and said hi. I couldn't understand anything he was saying but his wife waas next to us interpretting for me. He kissed me on the cheek and told me I was beautiful! I was 13.

I was moved off a roller coaster at Universal Studios because I needed a seat with a seatbelt extender. The whole roller coaster, waiting for me to move to the seat in the back of the ride. I was with my then fiancé. MORTIFIED. And never, ever again. Starting weight 299 lbs 2012 Current 224 lbs Goal 190!

This story is pretty cool. I have lost about 75 lbs over the course of the last 5 years. It's amazing the changes. Congrats!

Over time you find the foods that are priority to you- in quality and level of worth. Were the Boston Creams worth it? Were they that good? Did they taste any better after the second or third? Probably not, I understand it may not be the thought process during the binge, but try to weed out the mindless foods and eat the…

You should go to your bookstore or library and check out "Eat This! Not that!" or "Cook this! Not that"... same author. Healthier versions of fast food to cook at home and swap out at the grocery store.

I get where you are coming from. I wanted an aha! moment for years to push me enough to change and finally it came... they had to move me to the back of a rollercoaster where the seat had a sealtbelt extension. I was mortified. But I left years pass before I could feel that low. My only regret with changing ( i've lost 75…

Beautiful means something different to everyone! There are TONS of guys out there that would see full photos of you and still message you. Try it, I dare you. But first, you will have to get over it. Confidence is key and even though it's not where you eventually where you want to be, you have to OWN the fact that this is…

Hi- speaking from experience here. I plateaued for 5 months.... that's right. Working out 5 days a week and still no drop for 5 months. The only way I broke it was by switching up my routine. Eat different foods, try incorporating some stair stepping with your walk, or walking up steeper paths. I had to start jogging and I…

Hi there, I have lost 72 lbs and right around my 40 lb mark I plateaued for about 5 months. That's right... I worked out 5 days a week and never lost a pound but stayed the same. I broke my plateau by running and sometimes with high resistance. Good luck sweetie, be patient.

Get is a** out of your life ASAP. It will never go up from here....

Plan and log in advance if you can. The only times I "treat" myself are when I've torched some cals and did a long workout that day. Even then, the treating has to be in moderation. One drink, a shared dessert, the healthiest-most vegetables- without a gravy- Chinese choice. Remember that when you eat out the calorie,…

I have lost 72 and my goal is to lose 107. I started in 2012, have kept most of the weight off and have just maintained and fluctuated between the same 10 pounds for the last 3 years. Started back on here recently to get to my ultimate goal this year, I'm ready! Feel free to add me- My name is Virginia!

Anyone on this thread is welcome to add me! I too have a Onederland goal for this year! I have lost 68 lbs ( gained about 15 back over the course of this year) and have kept that weight off since 2012 when I started on here. Need some new friends as this site has changed a bunch and I don't know anyone anymore! Currently…

I have maintained for 3 years now and no, it never shrinks or goes back. I would love to have a tummy tuck but cannot afford one.

There really is no way around this, but to avoid fast food all together. The sodium, MSG, sugar and all the other *kitten* in fast food IS addicting and it will do nothing for your body except make you crave more. So stay away. It's not a part of my life anymore, let alone anything I even think about. Start looking up…

wondering the same thing!

amazing work everyone! keep them coming!

water!!!!x50

i made them. they were not sweet enough for me.

anything in a pill is not the answer to losing safely and healthily. sounds like your looking for a quick fix and anything natural will not give you that.

i dont know how you have put up with that for so long. i would have run away and never come back. your mother has a serious mental disorder. while you cannot really help her, you can help yourself. move out. get away from her ( for a while) heal and start your life fresh and clean. you cannot tolerate that forever. you…

we had a yummy one last night which consisted of: spinach garbanzo beans alfalfa sprouts hard boiled egg chopped ham green pepper carrot cucumber. some of my other favs are: real bacon bits seeds ( pumpkin, sunflower,) peas beets broccoli dried cranberries

thank you all for cheering me on! it means a lot to me!

turkey, tuna or egg salad, chicken,ham, veggie wraps/sandwiches with any veggies, hummus, cheese,ect. low calorie, low sodium canned soup greek yogurt with fresh fruit and a granola bar leftovers lettuce cups ( fill with shredded chicken and buffalo sauce, bbq sauce, asian dressing) and veggies to top it! popcorn with an…

not true. everyone loses in different places first, not always in the boobs. face, back, and waist are the first to go for me. i have lost 40 lbs and am the same bra size for now. also had a breast reduction and would do it again in a heartbeat. its amazing how your posture improves, back pain subsides and make everyday…

one of my favorites ( i have many!!) is the broccoli and cheese or cauliflower, broccoli, carrot and cheese steamers - like 50 calories a cup with ham chunks or bacon bits over a baked potatoe! soo yummy and easy. whole meal is about 250 calories.

Nothing you can do about them. Completely genetics- chances are your mother has them and so do your sisters. Good news is that they fade over time, most of mine are silver or white now and are almost invisible with a tan. just a part of life that unfortunately comes with gaining weight, having a baby or having a growth…

I just got one for christmas and the brand is called smarthealth. it is a watch style heart rate monitor and it tracks steps, calories, and distance as well. seems to work pretty good and is accurate when i have compared the calories burned on other websites. i wear it only when i work out, but i suppose you could wear it…
