I have been in the high 200's for most of my adult life... and have toyed around with the idea of surgery as well -- but never went for any consultations or anything -- but in reality.. I feel that if you have done EVERYTHING you can, and eating healthy and working out really is not helping... then the consideration for…

Yes, Burlington has beautiful, inexpensive, BIG GIRL coats... I bought a coat last year for a trip I was going on (I live in FL and have no other use for it lol) but it fits wonderfully... I've had the same issues, so trust me when I say -- go to Burlington haha. I can't ever find clothes there, but coats for us seem to be…

Your story made me cry, majorly. Thank you so much for sharing, and I am so happy you have persevered and over came the things that would hold most back... I must ask -- did they attribute the stroke to your weight? something else? a combination of things?? Lately I have been feeling down in the dumps with no will to…

I was diagnosed with PCOS back in March, but I'm able to track it back to being at least 13 years old, that's when I really started having pain, irregular periods, etc.. so really I've had it for 11 years! I was given birth control as a treatment as well. He put me on this higher dose pill and it whacked me out, let me…

I am in the same boat... My calorie goal is 1550, but I exercise a lot so it goes well over 2000... I don't know how to eat that much to begin with!!! can't wait to see some responses....

BAGELS. My soft spot for food is bagels, I love love bagels, I would make myself breakfast sandwiches on a bagel, or have sugary cereal, eat fast food for lunch, make spaghetti or greasy tacos or eat out for dinner.... Now I have a special K bar in the morning with fruit, or an scrambled egg whites, I eat my left overs for…

One of my symptom is HORRIBLE cramps... A little over a year ago I was going to my reg dr for my paps, and I said to her "I know this sounds really weird, but my cramps are so bad it feels like my ovaries hurt" and she said "oh that's nothing, that means they're just working!" NOT. I've been on BCP for a couple of years,…

haha it's true, Brandon!! I work with a bunch of nurses and I was telling them about my calories and such and they all were like "omg you need to eat more!!" because the body goes into starvation mode, makes sense though. So I try to eat things like fruit, watermelon is great and is a natural diuretic, and I like peanuts,…

Yes, the whole weight loss thing has been up and down for me and I'm glad I know why. I have started the low carb thing, and so far so good!! Thank you so much for starting this thread and for the support. This helps soooooo much!!!

I have a hard time REACHING my daily goal, I'm always under!!!! You should always try to stay at your calorie goal, it's a healthy # for your body, but if you go under or even go over sometimes, that is a-ok. always add in exercise :):):):)

Fiber is good for you. I try to keep the cards on the down low as well, but if you are getting a great fiber content from something, eat it!!

Sounds like sodium or water... I'm over weight, but I know from experience if I have too much sodium or I am pmsing I tend to bloat. maybe analyze what you're eating?

I am very happy to hear that you have overcome your demons. We all have them, and it's great you admit to them. I have a friend like you, and it's really sad that I'll probably end up burying her unless she gets a kick in the groin like you.... That's a whole other story though. Anyways! I've been on here for about 2…

No Fluff:: I agree with the people about the bottoms. You can go to walmart and buy some nice black bottoms that you will probably feel 10x more comfortable in. Other than that, take it from me: I live in Florida, on the sunny gulf coast where there are beaches 15 minutes from my house (especially Siesta Key beach which…

Wow I'm so glad I found this topic... I felt like I was so alone in this ordeal, I was diagnosed a couple of months ago. I was trying to get pregnant for a few months, and nothing was happening... I had in the past irregular periods, but I was on BCP which regulated it for a few years... Had the test done, and the doctor…

I too have just started my journey, it's been a week. And I am also on the 100+ band wagon. It is stressful and overwhelming, and being a full-time anything can make it much harder. I've found that dieting is a cinch. The greatest thing about this website is most foods from the grocery store to a restaurant is listed and…
