Well, for me it is a ton of issues, mainly the fact that I gained prob 1/2 my excess weight through depressive binging years ago, and the other half is a combination of the yoyo dieting to lose the previous half that led me to always gain more than I lost, Hypothyroidism (but Im on medication so I don't know if it is a…

I will admit at some point I just started skimming this thread, I'll go back and read it carefully later but this is my two cents. I have been a 200+ pound woman my whole adult life (15 1/2 years) and 300+ for the last 2 (finally have seen 299 and never going to 300 again so help me God.) I grew up with a major soda…

I have never gotten there so I don't personally have any experience with maintaining but I saw an episode of HBO's weight of the nation (it's on youtube) that talks about the reason so many gain the weight back.

Then I started to feel really fat because I always associated mumus and things with my 600 pound life and things like that.…

Sure any of you can add me. My total goal is 170 of which I have lost 9 pounds so far. At the beginning of the month I got a wake up call that I was officially type 2 diabetic and I think that is what is driving me as I saw what my grandma went through with hers and eventually died of diabetic complications at 68. That is…

I think for most people 1 poptart for desert is sensible (I wouldn't eat it for breakfast because it isn't really going to give you fuel for your day and you will be hungry 2 hours later) For me they are forbidden. I can't explain it. If you were to ask me if you could eat any bad for you food right now I would say a…

Also Idk if anyone relates but I've been trying to lose weight for the past 21 years and it is a cycle of highly motivated, frustrated and give up maybe gain it all back plus some, and then a period of denial, repeat. I think for me I got larger and larger each time I tried to lose weight so now I am very critical since I…
