  • When I realized a few months ago I was in a year-long relationship with a guy who treated me like garbage, and I was only remaining in it because: a) it was less messy then having to deal with untangling our lives and breaking up and b) I figured I couldn't be in a healthy relationship with someone until I had a healthy…
  • Just finished Level 1 Day 5 of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred.
  • Cookies for me. Welcome Shelly!
  • I'm on day 3 of 30 day shred and I could do jumping jacks yesterday. Only like 4 at a time...but still....I'll take it as a victory! :)
  • I don't know why but I find this thread so inspiring for me. I think it's because I sometimes get overwhelmed with how much weight I have to lose and forgot there are so many of us out there. Cheers to us supermorbidly obese fatties!! ;P (keeping our drinks within caloric goals of course...)
  • Love this! Please add me. SW (a few months ago) 335, CW 301, UGW 150 (for now). I log every single day and am on day 3 of Jillian Michaels 30DS...hell on a DVD, so anyone who likes torture and supporting others in it, we can be besties! ;P
  • whole wheat pita topped with plain greek yogurt, julienned carrots, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, cuke, garlic powder, paprika, chives, falafel and crumbled feta...sorry its blurry, and its my first time posting a pic to the site...but..MMMMM!!! :)
  • Where to begin. I had met a guy online through a friend on FB. He saw some of my posts on her wall and thought I was funny and started messaging me. We were both single and interested and started making plans to go for a date. I told my friend about it and that I was interested etc, she went on and on about how he's a…
  • Feel free to add me! I'm a newbie too (about 6 weeks or so), would love to support each other :)
  • Awesome, thank you so much for these great suggestions! Looks like I've got lots of youtubing to do hehe
  • I've been using MFP for about a month and I am still shocked some days at sodium. All I can say is that it's making me 'aware'..I'm still over by a bit most days but definitely less than before!
  • Amazing. You are definitely inspiration for someone just starting out like me.
  • Today is my 30th day of MFP, and also my 30th workout logged. This is such a huge accomplishment for me, by far the biggest accomplishment of any attempt at gaining health in my life. To celebrate I went shopping on my lunch hour today and splurged on a nice new pair of Skechers. I also found a bathing suit top in a size…
  • Angie I'm the same way. I started upping my lifestyle about 2 months ago. At first my best friend and I planned on hiking 3x a week. Her schedule and sometimes lack of motivation hindered me a bit (well I allowed it). So I started my own regime, walking 5x a week in the early morning. Any hikes we get in, I consider bonus.…
  • Thanks all! Definitely helps, I really appreciate the feedback. :)
  • LOL Madhatter, yes! And honestly I think it's exactly why 'programs' have never worked for me. I am a numbers girl. I like facts, figures, science, and proof. Every program I've ever tried seemed to focus more on fluffy feelings/motivation + a gimmicky food plan. I'd start them feeling all gung-ho, pumped up, motivated…
  • Kleigh4, I know how frustrating it can be. This is my first time doing straight up calorie counting, but I've tried countless things in the past and always reach this weird plateau even when I'm completely following program. I can tell you from my own personal experience as someone who is also on thyroid medication due to…
  • Wow....just...WOW!!! I am just beginning and have had great success in the past 2 weeks but this just gets me SOOOO excited!!!! Amazing. You are a real inspiration.
  • Macy I just started last week too and I have about the exact same weight as you to lose. Nice to find a 'twinnie' :)
  • Feel free to add me. This is my first official post. I started this journey about 2 weeks ago but spent the last week and a half just browsing/creeping the forums/getting used to the app and site etc, basically getting my feet wet. I've got a lot to lose and would love to find people that we can support each other. :)
