Sounds like you were trying to post a standard "hey everyone, I'm back and have health goals, let's support each other post" that turned into the never ending philosophical battle between "everything in moderation" and "cut all the junk" that seems to happen quite frequently in this forums. Everyone is different. All we…

I have about 80-90 lbs to lose. I'm down 36 lbs from my highest weight of 281. Unfortunately I am also up 27 lbs from my lowest weight of 218. Like a lot of folks I was going strong and had a rough year and fell off the wagon and gained. I am down about 8 lbs since I started taking weight loss seriously again. First goal…

Soda for sure. Pretty much all fast food. It taste like hell and just sits like a rock in my gut making me feel awful. And definitely though super sugary high calorie coffee drinks. I used to work at a plus size store in the mall and women would come in and complain about how we changed our sizes and they fit smaller now…

Restarting on here and could use the motivation. Feel free to add me!

me too! lost 65 lbs from 2010-2013 then gained half of it back in the last year or so. I officially restarted on Monday this week at 250 with an ultimate goal of 160-175. Sending you a friend request.

Re-started after about a year hiatus. Originally started at 281, got down to 217 2 years ago and ran a half marathon. Injured my knee last year and went back up to 247. Would love to lose the 30 I gained plus another 50. Good Luck to everyone and feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me! I started at 281 and dropped 65 lbs training for a half marathon 2 years ago. I started gaining last year after a knee injury and am looking for some new motivating friends.. I am back up to 245 and have a goal of losing 80-100 lbs.

Even pushing 300 lbs I never had a butt or huge thighs. I always been all belly and boobs. When I started losing my legs/arms starting looking more proportional to the rest of me. My weird thing though is that my stomach is noticeably split into 2 regions. The upper belly above my bellybutton and my lower abdomen. As I…

https://www.fitbit.com/user/23VS6G I usually get in 10,000+ steps on cardio days. Other days I average 5,000-8,000. It's definitely harder when you spend 8 hours of your day at a desk.

I'm so glad my planet fitness (Boise, ID) is not at all like that. There are folks at my gym that are extremely fit and look like they are training for competitions and as a fatty who's working hard to not be a fatty anymore, I have never found them intimidating. They are usually pretty friendly and I have always been…

One of the best things about sweet potatoes is they taste delicious baked or mashed without any additions. However I do like cubing them and making a hash. Sweet potatoes have less starch than regular potatoes so you can saute them and they will actually get soft. I like to toss cubed sweet potato in a pan with some onion,…

I'm just a little under 5'7". SW: 281 (2010) LW: 218 (last year) CW: 229 GW: 150-160?- I have been obese my whole adult life so really I have no clue what weight I will look/feel my most healthy at so this is just an estimate.

I started running at about 265 lbs. I did almost all my runs on a treadmill for the first year and did intervals similar to couch to 5k. When I hit the pavement it was a completely different experience so I would encourage you to do both from the beginning. Like others have said definitely consult your doctor. Also I think…

The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes My Body by Young the Giant and as much as I hate to admit it... Work B*tch by Britney Spears These always keep me going when I want to give up.
-
yep...but I have gotten better. Once upon a time it took me 16+ mins to run/walk/shuffle a mile. and now my average is about a 12 min mile. Is that still slow? Sure, by some standards...but I am pretty darn proud of it. Plus there is the fact that I am now able to run 3-4 12 mins miles in a row. Even if you are slow, you…

I didn't know how to cook or care until my late 20s so I ate a lot of prepackaged things like frozen dinners, pizza, and boxed rices and noodles especially in college. My schedule was so busy with school and 2 jobs that it was normal for me to not eat all day and then go to something like Chinese buffet for dinner and eat…
-
I try my best not to judge. Like maybe people on here I am still considered obese even though I have lost over 60 lbs and recently ran a half marathon. But if someone just saw me on the street I probably just look like another fat person. We don't know people's stories just by looking at them. We don't know where they have…

I ran my first half marathon about a month ago with untreated bronchitis. It took me about half an hour longer than I was hoping, but it was out of state and after all the training done and money spent there was no way I was going to miss it. Not my smartest move, since it took me about 3 weeks to recover, but so…

hope this is the right size. there is about 35 lbs difference here. left side 255 in 2011, right side 221 this morning.

http://thepaleodiet.com/ http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/#axzz2Q7MwunBA Here are a couple good sites to get you started. One is paleo, the other is primal which is similar, but less restrictive. As far as your boxed food goes, either eat it before you start paleo, or keep it around in case you decide…

I log most of Jillian's DVDs as circuit training, but definitely beware the overestimating of calories. MFP tells me that 30 mins burns 350 calories for me, but my Fitbit says its closer to 200.

4.1 miles in 48 mins today.

I just started paleo. I've been doing it for about 5 days now and so far am really liking the way it makes me feel. feel free to add me as a friend.

yes please! count me in!

The sad thing is your obese friends don't want you to lose weight. They want you to stay obese with them. Then they never have to address their weight issues. You losing weight shines a giant spotlight on the fact that they need to lose weight to and it sounds like it's making them very uncomfortable and subsequently…

When I get bored with regular water I drink La Croix. There are a bunch of flavors and they are also carbonated. Nice if you want a little fizz and something quick to grab since they come in cans.

I personally love it. But I also go to the gym mainly for cardio and do most of my strength workouts at home. Mine has a very relaxed atmosphere which makes it great for first time gym goers. The staff is friendly and the gym is always very clean. It's really busy right now because of the new years resolution folks and the…

I am and am planning on not drinking (or at least drinking very little) until after my first half marathon in March. Before I would have drink or 2 a few nights a week and then I usually had at least 1 binge drinking night a week. Man, do those calories add up. So far it has been easier than I thought it would be. I have…

I totally forgot I joined this group! Hope you'll still have me. Starting weight: 227.8 Bust: 42 Waist: 37 Hip: 47 Thigh: 22.5

Lost another 25 lbs Discovered how much I love to run (even on the hard days) Started training for my first half marathon (March 2013) My hope is that this time next year one of my biggest accomplishments will be getting under 200 lbs.
