back when I first started a few years ago I weighed 218 lbs and after about 10 months I was down to 178 and then I ended up pregnant..I was happy I was having another child but devastated that I worked so hard and now had to start over.. this was around 5 years ago and I'm now back to try again starting weight this time is…

thank you for that..based on what was said i thought i was doing something wrong or dangerous..it's a bit hard to know what is okay and what is not when there are so many people here with differing opinions..

ok just wanted to comment because i saw a quote in this thread where someone said losing 10 pounds in 4 weeks is dangerous and not sustainable ..i started MFP 30 days ago and it started me out at 1200 cals a day, this is what i'm eating even now and i have been exercising like i'm supposed to and i have lost 14-16 pounds…

thank you for this..i was feeling a bit down today and this lifted my spirits..this was very sweet. :flowerforyou:

thank you for all the wonderful advice..I am actually putting a lot of it into practice right now..I woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat and feeling like I was hit by a bus and wasn't sure if I should continue my diet while sick so i posted and asked the community..because of all the great advice i have managed…

hi, I am also at 1200 calories a day and I am 5 foot 5 inches tall and at start weighed roughly 218 lbs. I have only been here since last Friday and I am down to 213 lbs. I stay within my calorie limit and do eat back my exercise calories each day and i do 30 minutes of cardio everyday instead of just the 3 times a week…

this does not sound like a healthy situation for you or for your child.

this is verbal abuse..simple as that. what he says makes you feel small and worthless and you have told him it hurts and he's still doing it ,that makes it verbal abuse in my opinion.

a bucket of fried chicken , a slab of ribs wrapped in bacon ,and a banana pudding the size of my head....lol

you know what..just take her out, your treat..I'm sure she'll love whatever you get her but nothing compares to spending time having fun with good friends..i wouldn't trade the most expensive gift in the world for being able to go out on the town with my best friend but she lives 6 hours away... :(

gorgeous eyes and beautiful smile :)

yes but he has to serenade me first..lol

hi I'm Alley..I'm new here just started on Friday ..I think..staying motivated,avoiding temptation, and having willpower are not my strong points..i tend to turn to food when life gets me stressed or emotional and I'm a mother so stress seems to be a constant in my life..I live in an area where I don't know anyone and have…

my name is alley and I'm a mother to two vivacious boys aged 14 and 9 that keep me on my toes. I was brought to this site by a friend who has had great success with it. I'm 32 years old. I was pretty small most of my life but then I moved to Georgia where I didn't really know anyone and found myself getting isolated and…

I am 5'6 and weigh in at 218 pounds at the moment..85 pounds to go until i reach my goal weight.
