Thank you both for those words. I know its a long road but i will do it.

I copied this to have as a reminder. Thank you...This is exactly what I needed to read.

I don't reject friend requests. I am an open person but on here I was judged by a few people for my profile so I have closed it to my journaling of food. It is hard to hear negative things on here from someone that doesnot know you very well. They tend to put their opinions where it is a negative and that can cause people…

Congrats on the 60 lbs. That is amazing. I too am an emotional eater. I tend to eat over the smallest things, and it does not even have to be a specific food. I just eat anything in my cabinets or fridge. It is hard to get back the energy to lose the weight after a set back, but you are strong and you will do this. I know…

For me it took a lot of soul searching and determination to finally say enough is enough, i am gonna do this once and for all...FOR ME....You have to want it bad enough. You have to want to change for the healthy version and decide that you have had enough and just go for it. I used to eat whatever I wanted to in the past.…

My struggle is that I have 1990 calories to eat every day and I try and eat as healthy as I can, but don't come no where near the amount it says to eat every day. If I ate crap every day it would be easy to get to that level.

First thing is first..Congrats...You are beautiful. You have come so far in your journey and I am so proud of you. The two main areas that I see a change in is the chest area and the stomach area. Both have become smaller. You have done an amazing job with your weight loss and I would love to be your size...and I will be…

Working and having fun on here and on facebook. Florida here.

I like your way of thinking but my butt would not like it at all...LOLOLOL

I have not watched the show since I cancelled my dvr. Too expensive right now. I love the show.

My daughter passed away in 2000 at 3 1/2 months. I was angry for a long time after she passed away. I blamed myself for causing her to be sick when she was born. I blamed God for taking her away from me at such an early age and leaving me to grieve with no baby...a baby I waited my whole life to have that I was told I…

So true. I have been stuck in grieving mode since 2000. I am tired of being miserable. I am working on me and learning about myself.

You look AMAZING girl. Keep up the great work. Just keep healthy snacks with you and a very large bottle of water. Every time that you think about going off the wagon drink 5 swallows of water. Before long you will be full and wont need the crap that you want to eat. Keep on the positive side. You will get through this. Liz

Look at the positive. YOU HAVE LOST 100 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is amazing. Please reach for the healthy choices. If you think positive then you will be positive. I am rooting for you. Good luck.

I donate them and then I shop for smaller clothes for myself. Usually at goodwill or salvation army stores. If I am still needing to lose weight I tend to buy used rather than brand new. It is a waste of money to buy new just to lose more weight and not fit in them in a month or two. Donating them helps to pay it forward…

Hey there, I am Liz...first let me say that it is great to have you here. A lot of support is on its way. The number you are at now is not going to be there anymore. You are starting here only. You will not see this number again. It is truly overwhelming when you look at the overall picture. Try not to focus on this…

At work... 4:36am... Can't sleep when I am at work

If you ask me I will add you as a friend. People come into your life for a reason. We are all here for support and weight loss/gain. It is important to take the time for someone and help them through their journey. If you reach out I will respond. I want everyone to succeed. I don't judge anyone based on choices,…

The first step is to not give up on yourself. Get back up, brush off your jeans and move forward. Do you journal at all? I journal every day. When I am feeling one of those binges coming on I have to stop...drink 8oz water...journal or write what i am feeling and try and work it out without stuffing my face with crap. I…

Hey everyone...I am Liz. I am huge on support and I love to help people meet their goals...even break through their goal and go farther than they thought that they could. Please add me for support if you would like to.

I hit rock bottom. I was under so much stress with personal and work issues. I just went through a huge break-up and so I prayed to God to give me a sign that would wake me up and get my butt up and going and on track. I was sitting at 4:30am at work on lunch journaling and T-25 came on the tv. I could not take my eyes off…

To kimosabe1...that comment was uncalled for and rude. We are here to support each other. Not put someone down for being a vegetarian. You don't have to agree with someone's choices but support is huge so someone doesnot give up on themselves based on what someone else's judgements or views are.

It is natural to fall apart. Your hormones and your body are going all different directions. You are supposed to get those emotions out. They build up until you cant hold them anymore, then you cry or scream or hit something. It is ok to lose control. You should be proud that you said what you were feeling. It takes a lot…

I am in for 5 lbs in february...woohoo!!!!!

I am in but I am aiming for 20 lbs myself. I tend to quit if it gets too much. I tend to flip at the number. So I will shoot for 20 lbs.

I am Liz and I have been grieving for quite a few years now. First my daughter passed away from health issues in 2000 and then my mom was killed in 2005. The pain is still so new...like it was just yesterday that they passed away. I have decided that I need to find myself and get on track. I want to feel beautiful and be…

What I suggest to you is that on the nights that someone else cooks and the meal is not healthy like you would like it make sure that you have fixings for a big salad and just measure a half cup of what is not healthy for yourself. Drink lots of water so you are fuller faster.

I know it is frustrating only loosing a bit over a pound a week, but you have to look at the bigger picture here. Your weight is going in the right direction. Any person that I have taked to has always said that a pound a week is the right loss to have a week. I have noticed that if I weigh in every couple of days I am…

Keep up the positive attitude. You CAN do this journey, and the help of many people on MFP will keep your spirits up and keep you moving in the right direction. I was 275 lbs when I joined, and have lost 15 pounds so far. I weigh myself every other day now and post when I weigh in. I also write down EVERYTHING I eat and…

My name is Liz, and I know how hard it is for you to admit that you need help with your weight loss. I am here to listen and talk if you want. I eat oatmeal a lot, and chicken and fish also. I don't eat fried foods or soda. I try to exercise at lease 3x a week. I can build up from there, but I am starting out slow. Also…
