I just wanted to check in with you all. I do walk around the house and up and down the side walk in front of my house but not to much I do it til I am tired or out of breath. I am not taking to the bed just taking it easy and watching my calories.

I am so sorry for all of those that doesn't have a supportive spouse/SO. When I met my SO I was 268 pounds and he thought I was beautiful and sexy. He saw me get to 300 with our second child and never complained on belittled me. When I complained he would say I got you pregnant so it's my fault jokingly. I have attempted…

Lol that is cute. We will need to send you a boat.

My surgery went well yesterday. The surgeon said I can start exercising in 3-4 weeks.

I notice I have a slight gain during ovulation as well. I find it funny that I now have more pms sign during ovulation than TOM. I am trying to figure out if for me it's due to age, almost 40, or weight loss.

Yes my children will receive it. As a woman who has had cervical cancer scare twice if I can prevent that for my babies they will get it. Thankfully mine never developed past the precancer stage it is still a really scary thing.

The first picture was me and my son two years ago. The second is me and my daughter. There is about 90 pound difference.

What a terrible thing for a friend to say. In middle school I developed a nick name. Almost 30 years later it still bothers me. In 6th or 7th grade they called me Pretty Ugly. It broke my heart. Now that I am almost 40 I think about it and wonder why kids are so mean. I remembered a time after I had my oldest son, he was a…

Daily. I helps me stay focused and it helps me see when a plateau has started. After about a week at the same weight I can start my game plan instead of waiting three or four weeks.

Taco salad's, meat loaf, manwhich, hamburgers, veggie beef soup.

I hate when people do stuff like that. Last summer I was visiting my mom and she needed me to go to the store for her. There were some guys there gawking at women asking the would you do her question. I seen the guy point to me and the other one looked and said it would take a whole lot of dope, then he shuddered like I…

I really think it was the recruiter that got me started on my obsession to reach a magic number. 148 I believe. But the military is so focused on the weight charts they don't take in consideration of bone structure or muscle mass.

I remember thinking I was so fat as a teenager. I was usually about 155 and at 5'5" and a size ten. I some how got the number 125 in my head that was the perfect weight and always tried to diet my way there. From mini thins, one ridiculously small meal a day, walking with trash bags. The fat free diet was all the rage when…

You add me if you want and rant to me any time you want. I didn't even post to face book about my weight loss until I was down 75 pounds. I mainly did that because I had lost the same 20-30 pounds for the last three years. I always started with a blaze then fizzled out and to gain it back by the end of the year. It's been…

You have done awesome. Thank you. I think it will be ok to have it done. It feels like it is breaking up. It's a lot easier to breath this morning any way. A little weezing but I have four days all should be well.

I don't think I will try to lose that much more but at least 20-25 pounds. I have been at 145 before and I looked sick. I think I look best between 155 to 165. That is still over weight for my height but I have a larger bone structure and can get a way with a little more weight. I haven't started lifting yet. I really want…

When you go to try on clothes that it's feels weird not going to the plus size section. I have also found that my size perception is so off. I will look at a pair of jeans and think they look so small. I try them on and they fit and I am so surprised. Shirts are the hardest for me. I was so use to going to the men's big…

I am so sorry for being MIA. Between this chest cold and gallstones I feel like I am being beat up. I tried to get a mile in this morning but just couldn't. I got a 1/4 mile I think. Thankfully my surgery is Friday as long as this cold clears up. As soon as I am cleared I will hit this wide open. I am getting these miles…

That people will try to get you to stop losing weight before your ready to. I have had two people tell me already I don't need to lose 'much more'. I have lost 95 pounds. Even with that weight loss I still need to lose 39 more pounds to get to where I am no longer over weight. That is at the high end of a normal weight…

I am sorry you are going through this.

I haven't been dumped in a while. I remember one about ten years ago. I was living with this guy and his daughter. I loved her. I knew it wasn't working but I still tried for the little girl. He cheated though he denied it. Eventually he moved out and broke up with me cause I was to 'clingy'. Six months later he married…

Heaven is real The Bible

I put on my stuff on there to show you that if I can you can. It gets frustrating looking at the big picture but break it down in ten's makes it so much easier.

You can do this. I know it seems hard and impossible but you can. I started this year. I was about to 39 in April. I weighed 283 pounds I am only 5'5". I had a 57 inch waist and my bmi was 47. I don't know what size jeans I was in because the biggest size I had was a 24 and they were to small. I wore a size 3-4x in mens. I…

Mine are at 50/15/35. It's set like that on fat because of gall bladder issues. My protien is 105 grams a day. I am just learning and the ladies in the group I am in say when you first start learn to get the protien grams in first. I do my lean meats as chicken and turkey. I also add protein powders on low days. Egg whites…

I have lost 94 pounds out of the 120 pound goal I set. For me MFP and my food scale. The online support systems I have got. Also dedication is a big one. The first weeks when you get the big numbers from water weight loss is great. I lost 8 pounds my first week. 25 my first month. Then the numbers started getting smaller…

When I started I wrote out a prayer asking for God to help me with this. I also wrote out why I wanted to do this, my health, my kids, better looking clothes, to start living instead of just taking up space. I wrote out my fears if I stayed the weight I was, developing the diseases that come with obesity, hbp, diabetes,…

I do IF daily. I use the window of 16:8 or 18:6. I exercise better first thing in the morning at a fasted state. I also get more done cleaning wise. I eat at a calorie deficit every day. I just get to eat larger meals during my window which helps me from eating to much. I do weigh, measure and log everything I eat. I do…

I made it! I hit 198 on August 5th. I am now 190. I can't believe after 8 years of yo-yo dieting and at one time being 300 pounds I was able to be in Onederland again. To all of you waiting to hit that number it's coming.

That the dr's lied. When I would go to the dr and tell them my legs or bones hurt they would tell me lose weight and you will stop. LIARS!!! I hurt more now. I can't lay on my side if my knees touch they hurt. It hurts when I sit in a chair without cushion. That my monthly would get crazy. Before I was every month on the…
