These might be the same people who will tell you to STOP because you look too thin. They will never be happy with you so you must work on your self esteem. Be happy with what you HAVE done and what you WILL do. They will talk trash even when you become thinner. You have an awesome personality, you are beautiful and you are…

Some people just will never understand... If you are in a social event and they ask just tell them you are the DD (designated driver) for so-and-so. I just volunteer for that position when I am not in the mood to drink.

I never do anything that is quite 1000 cals, but I do things on and off all day. gardening 2 hours (trimming tree, sweeping the mess of trees, bagging tree trimmings) I dont do so much for "cleaning" because I do that everyday, Now if I am steaming carpets I will put half of that down, moving furniture sure ( dont move…

I get sick if I eat within 4 hours of getting up. Doesn't matter if it is fruit or eggs and toast, cereal. Even water makes my stomach turn. But to each their own.

Question, was this organic meat or one that is giving steroids, anti biotic and other fun stuff... study seems slightly flawed. To go Vegan is personal choice. There are always one sided studies so I am not worrying about it. If you are going vegan just make sure you get all the correct vitamins and minerals and do…

HUGS. My body is doing the same after getting to 189. I must admit that I havent been eating super well and if I dont have my BM then I will keep the gain longer. If you can kick up your work out. Change your cals in maybe you need less or possibly more cals each day. Just keep at it eventually it will go down again.

I have jeans that a friend gave me from high school, size 12, so they are about 10-13 years old... They were goodwill bell bottoms that look fabulous from the 60-70's . I wish to get my body back in them.

If It is okay for a guy to marry or be with how man girls he wants, I would hope I could do the opposite and get married to or be with as many guys as I would like. But it isnt hurting me and if they have talked trough the situation and are consenting ADULTS then it is up to them. But what guy in his right mind would have…

Stress is evil. Sadly I had an 8 lb gain from stress which after I got extra cash and paid the issue off it started to come off. HUGS I hope your stress will go away and the scale will go down.

Mine was off and sporadic, then started losing and now they tend to be more constant....still off a day or so here and there but we are getting there.

Being a 36 FF I will be happy if and when they go down. They make you look bigger and no clothes fit correctly, you tend to buy bigger sizes to fit them. Oh and dresses.....my bottom half fits nicely into a size 10-12 dress/skirt, but my top has to go into size 18 20.

My husband loves women with meat and for me since I started this journey I feel insecure and that he isnt happy with the weight I have lost. Maybe it is because he is insecure himself but to me it has always been hard being around a 6 ft 2 in man who weighs 150 and you are 5 ft 5 weighing closer to 200+. With my friends I…

I did not read all replies but this is what I think>.... When you eat LOVED plants fruits and veggies, do they taste better. yes When you go to the Grocery store and eat food that is mass produced by lrg companies where they have to pick and ship before the food has ripen the food doesnt taste as good.... When eating meat…

I dont know how to eat properly. I either eat too much or eat too little which means body is always in a survival mode. The weight is slow to come off but I am trying to be healthier no matter what.

LOVE you for YOU. Have confidence and be you even if you are bigger than them it doesnt mean you are not as pretty as they are. I know it maybe hard but I have a girl friend who is 5 ft 2 260 lbs and gets HIT on all the time by random men because she has great self confidence, Are those skinny friend tiny, and unhealthy…

Get a mesuring tape and IGNORE the scale. Trust me. Was stuck at same weight for 6 months but lost a crazy amount of inches. You are trying to get into smaller clothes right so the scale just will scare you if it goes up or not....when exersizing you will gain muscle and lose fat, fat has more "packaging" than muscle so…

When it seems forever, For me it is if you have tried different things (giving each one at least 2 or 3 weeks to see if it works) and you are still at or bouncing at the same weight. I did for 6 months. If you are stalled I will say bring out the mesuring tape. While I didnt lose any for 6 months all my clothes got loose…

Use a mesuring tape. I stopped losing for 6 months, and it was hard seeing the scale jump up and down the same 5 lbs. But then you would wear something and find you lost inches. I went down almost 3 sizes while staying the same weight.

Like this year I will continue to improve on ME. Do things for me for a change. I am a mom who does everything for my boys and family and it has taken a toll of me. I came here not because I was FAT but due to me trying to learn what is healthy.

Go to target find E.L.F product in the makeup area and find the Zit Zapper. It is my fav. It has tea tree oil which will kill the bacteria. BTW it only costs 1 buck too.

I was 220-240 (didnt have scale just knew pants were getting tighter) Started MFP at 210 (i think) now at 185-189. I know I will never get too little. I have Large bone structure 5 ft 4 1/2 in.

At this point I am 30 lbs from it. back then I was 10 off give or take.

I lost 20 the first month maybe month and a half. I then hit platue for good 6 months (I LOST MAD AMOUNT OF INCHES DURING THIS TIME) and now have lost 2 this month.

Fruit like melons and peaches and plums I cant have one small piece. Sadly I have been know to take down a few LBS of watermelon in one sitting. Gummies are my other weakness.

It is a life style change for sure. But when is seems like I am not losing I will put on something I wore when I was heavier. You can see the missing inches. Get a mesuring tape and measure yourself.

I heard the celiac kinda shadows IBS, sometimes. Have you tried a low to no gluten diet? How tall are you, I hear if you are shorter you need less cals (I have heard, not sure if it is true). How long do you wait before you decide it isnt working? You may want to try one way for a month or more and see how it goes before…

As someone who has been on a 4 month plateau get a mesuring tape. start mesuring. When weight loss stalls your body might want to lose inches too and you find during these stalls a inch or 2 fall off.

I am an Undereater, I think it started in college, where I was too busy to do anything but study (1751bs). After I got pregnant (i lost more weight then) I was 10 lbs lighter by the end of the 9 months while pregnant. After that stress and lack of money caused my to feel guilty (not working) so I didnt eat but maybe one or…
