Hi! I am looking for supportive friends too, I just sent you a friend request. :)

NC coast

I hate getting my picture taken- when I was fat I REALLY didnt want my picture taken so I dont really have many "before" pictures. I am a very private person so I dont post my pictures all over the internet either. Being a private person is probably the reason that I dont like gyms either.

I dont have any pics right now but I started at 165lbs and my current weight is 129lbs. I have never stepped foot in a gym. I do cardio, yoga, pilates and circuit training at home.

My Dad called me "tank"- as in I was as big as a military tank. It was very hurtful and I will never forget it.

I dont drink either. I have never had anyone question why I wasnt drinking. I just dont like how it makes me feel.

I am from the Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington, NC area.

Yup, about a year ago. I weighed about 135 at the time and I was so embarrassed. I was shopping with my 8 year old daughter and some stupid old man said "oh I see you have another baby on the way!". Ummmm NO, you jerk I dont! But thanks for making me feel like a big fat piece of crap! :(

At 9 months, just boob and a little water.

Having 3 babies. I have no self control when I am pregnant. I ate cupcakes and donuts almost everyday. lol During my 3rd pregnancy I gained about 60lbs.

I was a vegetarian for many years. I just simply dont like meat. No big explanation. You might not like a certain food, I dont like meat. I have had to force myself to eat it because pregnancy and breast feeding made me very anemic. So I suck it up and eat it sometimes but I still dont like it.

Jeeze I need some popcorn just to read this post!!!! Well, actually, not the post itself but all of the crazy replies. lol

OKay, I used to live in that town. I will tell you that this was NOT really about what this little kid brought for lunch, it was more about.... how do I say this nicely... It was a person that was given an "important" title, on a power trip. This woman felt powerful by forcing this child to eat a school lunch. Its pathetic…

My 8 year old gets 15 minutes and that includes the time it takes to walk to the cafeteria! She brings lunch from home so she doesnt have to worry about waiting in line. I have complained about that and it feels like I am talking to a wall. My 14 year old gets 30 minutes for lunch which I think is enough time as long as…

Yeah those lunch ladies will rob you blind! My 8 year old wanted to buy a cookie that costs 50cents, I only had a $5 bill to give her- lunch lady took the $5 bill and gave her NO change back! For a 50cent cookie! They are horrible and I am sure they pocket all that extra cash from kids who dont have the exact change. When…

I was a vegetarian for about 7 years. Not because of some strong love of animals (I'm not an animal person) but just simply because I dont like it. I was forced to eat it as a kid and once I became an adult I decided that I would show them! I wont eat any meat at all- ever! HA! That worked great until I was pregnant and…

I love this post!!!!!! Sometimes I need to be reminded of these things. :P

I'm from NY originally and we call it soda. I live in the south now and everyone here calls it coke. Anyway, I dont drink it. Dont like it, never have.

Wrightsville Beach, NC!

Mine was after I had my 3rd baby and I had gained 50lbs. I couldnt even look at myself in the mirror. I have been working on losing the weight ever since.

Thank you! I do not have a squat rack. And actually I dont even know what that is! lol I will look into the book that you mentioned. I just need to learn the basics and I will be able to figure out a routine for myself.

Thank you for all the advice I really do appreciate it. For the few that have said that I do have time to go to the gym and get a trainer, I promise you I cant. I cannot bring my 1 year old to a gym. Actually I really cant bring her anywhere due to her health problems. She cannot go to a daycare or basically ANYWHERE where…

Thanks for all the ideas!! I really appreciate all the replies, I'm feeling very alone right now so its nice to have some support. I am going to make some soup, surprisingly that sounds good right now! I have been munching on carrots today but not enough to keep away this hunger headache. I am going to take a nice walk…

chocolate.

I sent you a friend request! I need some motivating friends too! You can do this! MFP is a great site.

I have lost over 30lbs and so far only 1 person has noticed. My starting weight was 165 and now I am 131, you would think more people would notice. It is definitely disappointing.
