That someone felt the need to out you without your express consent is disgusting and hateful. You don't owe it to anyone at any time to disclose this information if you are not ready or feel unsafe or uncomfortable. What this person did is wrong, and did so with the intent of harm.

I think this is reasonable to a point. Some people will start with some pretty big losses if they're heavy or just beginning. I suppose if its consistent past a certain point, I'd begin to grow concerned. However if a person truly has an eating disorder, shaming them will absolutely do zero point none help. Maybe instead…

Are you running on a treadmill or on the road? Maybe you need shoes with better ankle support? It could be one or several things happening. For the meantime, rest and ice.

I saw a guy that basically looked like Pretty Hate Machine era Trent Reznor. Boots and cutoff long black denim shorts, black sweatshirt, greasy hair, wallet chain. Actually I wasn't mad, and I wasn't hating. I just thought "man, I hope he doesn't get caught in anything." At least he was out there?

NO to HCG and NO to "starvation mode".

They're neither good nor bad. They're just there to help you reach your macros or whatever. :shrug:

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Breakfast.

Noooooooooooo

Right? I'm 137. I'm evidently fat, unhealthy, and boy do I have a hard time getting from the couch to the fridge. How do I log that? Too much mass!

What in the actual f...

I'm an ex smoker as well! Trust me, it gets easier. Continue with your walk/jogs. What helps me is focusing on breathing in and out in rhythm with my pace. Step, step, step step= in, in, out, out.

When I trained for my first half, the last month or so of training I was fatigued and shakey despite thinking I was eating enough, however I was very low on iron, which is apparently (OBVIOUSLY) really important. So that's my two cents: get plenty of the important nutrients, don't lose sight of them in trying to lose and…

I was just at old navy last night. Bought three pairs of running shorts for $8 a piece.

It is very unfortunate that OP refuses to accept that some of the people here who have successfully lost and kept off the weight are giving her very solid advice. OP, some possibly were misguided in their attempts to get you to see the logic in their line of questioning, sure. That they tell you that clean eating is a…

Its too hot to stay out. I stay inside where there's AC.

Fishing for compliments is a bad thing? People like attention. That's a pretty normal, totally not shame-worthy thing.

She might want to. Sure. What a random comment.

Unstarring this conversation because I'd rather not think about ketchup.

Go home.

It doesn't belong within a 5 mile radius of a hot dog.

I actually eat chocolate and chips with more frequency than I did before trying to lose weight. "Clean" eating is bunk. Hallelujah, I have seen the light. Oh. When I learned from y'all that dietary fat has little bearing on body fat. OH MAN. Bacon! Butter! Scale still going down!

This, too. I work at a hospital. I get regular lab work and tests done for our wellness program. My blood work is ace, my blood pressure is always commented on as "excellent". This, being a big deal coming from a family history of type II diabetes, hypertension, thyroid and metabolic disorders, etc.

I've been SO much happier and more satisfied since I learned from the members here that I could eat any of my favorite "junk" and "unclean" foods so long as I do so in moderation. OP, I eat chips and chocolate on the daily. I'm still losing while maintaining my sanity and not getting hung up on the moral value of some food…

OH that's what you guys are talking about. I didn't even notice that. I guess, I dunno. OP: Maybe go ask Alice?

Looks can be very deceiving in terms of trying to guess someone's weight. Bone structure, height, proportions can throw off any guess.

I made the mistake of running my last half in those tiny running things that basically look like boyshort underwear. I'm surprised I didn't choke and cough them out.

I'd argue that, but I don't like to brag.

I burned 760 calories rolling my eyes.

I just run in sweat-wicking leggings. My butt gets hungry mid-run and eats my shorts.
