You could also look at it from an "I'm trying to save money by not eating out every day" perspective....People usually respond a little bit better to that...if they offer to pay, just say 'no thank you'.

as long as it is appropriate, your body, your rules. Sure, I get jealous when I see thin people dressing awesome, but I'm not going to go up to them and say "excuse me, could you not wear that around me? You're making me feel bad about myself". You should be proud of yourself and just enjoy wearing whatever you want.

Yes I find it extremely important to have the same-or at least close sleep schedule, and i find that I actually get kind of depressed when we don't. I hate waking up at two in the morning and finding that he's still awake. I think it goes to the whole intimacy thing and also just knowing that we will be up at the same time…

Initially, it wasn't that I was making excuses for myself, other people where making excuses for me. My dad said that it was genetic, or that it was baby fat. I called bullcrap on it, but I never really thought about it.I was the biggest kid out of the five of us growing up and to this day, I'm still the biggest. I guess…

I have the same habit of hopping on the scale every single morning-even when I know that there are other factors for a slight 'gain' on the scale, I still end up feeling bad about it. I weighed myself this morning, and my goal is to NOT weigh in again until next Tuesday. I agree with others that the scale is important to…

Hello. I'm O+ I've heard of people eating for their body type, but I'm not sure I've ever heard of eating for my blood type. I might have to research this.

Congrats! Incredible transformation!

One thing I did, that did WONDERS for me weight loss wise, was to see a counselor. Talking about my anxieties really helped me get to the root of my problems instead of avoiding them and eating the stress. I know there are a lot of people who don't necessarily think about how seeing a counselor would help with weight loss,…

There are just some foods that are terrible trigger foods. Bread happens to be one of them for me. On top of that, I have gallstones anyway, so I had to eliminate it from my diet altogether. I also have to severely limit dairy and greasy foods to avoid gallbladder pain. There are some people though (me being one of them)…

I guess it's not a small failure, but a combination of small failures that lead to a BIG one. I lost almost 100 pounds and over the course of a year, I've gained all but about 40 pounds back. I'm picking myself up TODAY because I tracked my intake yesterday just to see what i was eating and HOLY CRAP no wonder why I've…

The one thing that I find interesting and slightly amusing was when people asked me what I did (back when I dropped almost 100 pounds) and I tell them-"eat right, exercise" their face would just drop with disappointment because they were expecting me to say "Oh I did X cleanse" or "took X pills". People assume that you…

I have lost weight before (almost 100 pounds) while still eating what I wanted. The problem I found though was that it was way easier for me to deviate and eat way too many calories. I did however gain all but 42 pounds back over the course of a couple of years and I now have gallstones so I can't really eat whatever I…

Hello! I'm 5'10" and currently weigh 288 pounds with a goal of 170 pounds. I've got a long way to go, but I know I can get there!
