YES YOU CAN!! I love your last line it shows what a positive attitude you have!! :) I have one-hundred and forty pounds to lose. I know what you mean about work-outs, I work out with a personal trainer 3 x a week. When I first started working out I swear it took me five minutes after doing an exercise on the mat just to…

Hello, I feel alone right now because after Ten years of being with a guy that I really love and getting 'too comfortable' I lost myself. I forgot how to be 'me' alone! I tried every diet in the weight loss guide there was! Well the guy who I still love is taking time to work on himself and I am taking this time to work on…

Think about this more of a lifestyle change then a hard diet. You can still enjoy Pizza, and whatever you like. Like the others posted everything in moderation. Don't deprive! Instead of looking at the healthy foods negatively maybe think of the positives that come from eating healthy, like longer lasting energy, and…

When I was younger I had two best friends and they always said I was the 'prettier' out of the two of them. Then I hit 22 and started putting on weight like crazy!! They LOVED it. They would make snide remarks and I could see how petty and Jealous they truly were at one time. Those are now what I call 'forgotten' friends.…

Wow amazing transformations!!!! :)

Hello I have lost 21 pounds and more then 11 inches in six weeks. A short amount of time SW: 302 CW: 281 GW:150 I'm also 5'7 My Story: For a good decade I was struggling, I was lazy and I didn't follow through with sticking to a program. For some reason I just couldn't psychologically get there. My mind was blocked so to…

Thank you all! A month ago I would have binged..but nah not feeling hungry lol.

Thank you! :)

You can add me! :)

Thank you all so much!! After a bad day it was great coming on here and reading all of your positive remarks!! I wish there were like buttons not just flags. :)

Listen you can be any size and be happy! Who says you have to be 'society' ridden to look a certain way to please other people. Why come on a weight loss forum and start this discussion. I bet if you google 'phony plastic people forums' you will find friends there. Hey just saying.

Congratulations on a 30 pound loss!! :) I'm sorry you have lack of support with your mother. I agree with the other posters, positive self talk plays a big factor in this. I think you should look in the mirror and point out all your nice traits instead of the ones you don't like. Also I seriously doubt you look bad after a…

I started out at 200 lbs when I started dating my boyfriend of now ten years. I put on one-hundred pounds in those ten years. It was due to PCOS, low thyroid, medication and low motivation and low self-esteem. Also I admit it I wasn't wanting to change no matter who told me I needed too. My boyfriend told me that I was…

Oh and talk to your doctor. ;)

another thing if she wants to go lower that is fine too as long as she doesn't listen to the weird guidelines of having to be at 122. OP I do believe you should take it ten pounds and then see what you think. Good luck! :)

I would like to clarify sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean offense when I told her that going down below 165 would look unhealthy I was only talking to her not anybody else. I was specifically telling her because she looks good at her current weight too shoot for 165 thinking if she went lower it might not look right.…

I personally think you should get to 165 being anything under would look unhealthy.

My 'aha' moment was when I was desperately seeking Bariatric surgery for all the wrong reasons and my Primary Care doctor told me something wise "No pill, surgery, or diet is going to work for you because you have to change your mind, evolve into physically and mental determination of your own success, if you can't do that…

When I could no longer fit into any of my size 3x tops and 24-26 pants. I knew being in the three hundreds was dangerous and that was when I vowed to never look back. Now all the 3xs are getting big on me. :) Lisa

I have a ton of weight to lose and my Trainer told me inches are really important when it comes to weight loss plus she only weighs me once a month. I do weigh myself weekly. So far in one month 17lbs down and 11 inches down. I worry I'm losing too fast but I'm doing everything right. I guess at first it comes off faster?…

I decided to turn my back and walk the other direction. Sure the doughnut will taste good but after a couple hours I'll feel terrible it's just a temporary high! Lisa

Thank you all! For the first time I feel confident I can lose all 150 pounds and be a healthy new me. :-) Lisa

Thanks everybody for the responses!! You are right the body we don't get to chose where it loses at least we can laugh about it even-though the whole thing is odd where we lose. As long as the fat is gone and does not relocate then I'm happy! LOL Wouldn't it be nice as woman if we could keep our large bust through the…

I have had a lot of wise words passed down to me: My breaking point was when I asked my Primary Care doctor about Bariatric Surgery and she said this to me:" Bariatric, no pills or even Weight watchers is going to make you lose weight. The reason why is because YOU have to be the one to change your mindset about food,…
