I was experiencing something similar and it really is an awful feeling. Probiotics helped me quite a bit. Also I was describing the symptoms to a friend and she said that happens to her too because she has irritable bowel syndrome. So if probiotics don't seem to do the trick, definitely make an appointment to see your…

thanks! and Jillian is great at getting inches off! she's helped me lose 5 inches off my hips and 8 off my waist. It seems like everything is hard at first when you start at 280, but it sounds like you are doing great too! keep it up!

then: 281 lbs size 22W/24W in pants. 2x tops now: 236 lbs size 16/18 pants and L-XL in tops

I eat frozen meals for lunch a couple times a week too and I am trying to watch my sodium. I try to only get ones where the sodium is under 500 mg. Also I try to add more potassium rich foods to the meal if I'm going to do something higher in sodium. My favorite is Healthy Choice Honey Balsamic Chicken. It's about 490 mg…

We are pretty close. I started at 281 and am currently 242, but it took me over a year to drop 40 lbs. Goal weigh is between 140-150.

My profile says 150, but it's hard to put a number on it for me. I'm currently about 240 down from 280 and have never been under 200 as an adult. So I honestly have no idea what weight I would look best/healthiest at. My goal is to be a size 8-10 and I would love to look curvy and fit. I'm currently a 16/18 so whatever…

first thing I noticed was my collarbone being visible again. Then I felt like nothing was really happening until one day I looked in a full length mirror and suddenly I had a defined waist instead of the lumpy mess hanging over my pants i had grown used to. that was a very good day!

We didn't have any traditional dances or anything, but we all walked down the aisle to "Your My best Friend" by Queen. Some songs we played at the reception were: Home-Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros If it's Love and Hey Soul Sister by Train Adele's cover of Love Song by the Cure We had a bunch of covers by Me First…

I am 243 and my BMR is about 1875 so we are similar and my daily calorie goal is also around 1400, but mostly I look at my net and try to achieve 500-700 calorie deficit each day. I agree with the people that are saying eat more lean protein and veggies and start tracking your sodium. But the key here is patience, and to…

It's human nature for us to compare ourselves with others. But it's also toxic and it poisons relationships. The 5 seconds you feel good because she has finally realized her pants are bigger than yours is not worth how crappy you and her will both feel afterward. I know because I lost on of my closest friends over passive…

Dear Moose ( my mischievous pug), Please stop snorting in my face while I am in the plank position. It is difficult enough without your snot on my cheeks. Dear Me, You can do this. love always, anne

We are practically twins! I'm 5'7" 246 lbs and a size 18. also hoping to be much smaller someday.

There were so many things. The impending diabetes that runs in my family, weighing more than my husband (who is pretty big guy himself), getting winded by one flight of stairs. But what stuck with me the most was just being so incredibly uncomfortable all the time. It didn't matter how loose or tight my clothes were. I…

Started at 281. Currently 248. Getting so close to 300 was a turning point for me for sure. I also have a membership at Planet Fitness (in Idaho) and I love it there! Anyone feel free to add me!

I joined this site a while ago, lost 40 lbs, hit a plateau and got discouraged and gained back about 6 lbs. So now I am starting fresh with even more determination. I have about 96 lbs to go. Lets do this!
