Sadly, it is the norm in Arkansas, where I live. It's kind of ironic, because about eight years ago, when I weighed almost three hundred pounds, it was abnormal. I could never find anything to wear! Now that I am no longer plus size, there seem to be much better fashion options for bigger girls.

I always aim to eat more protein than MFP's settings. I never worry about going over on protein, fiber, or even fat (the fat in my diet mostly comes from olive oil, coconut oil, or nuts). The MFP targets I am careful to try to stay under are definitely carbs, calories, and sugar.

I totally relate to the emotional eating thing.... I think most people can, at least on some level. When my weight was higher, I used to head for the nearest drive-thru when I was upset. Now, I tend to exercise it out. Walking/running always gives me time to think about whatever's bothering me and allows me to work toward…

in Emotional eater... Comment by ashheartshawaii October 2011
After losing well over a hundred pounds through diet and exercise (*patting my own back), I was very disheartened to see that the extra skin just didn't go away. It pained me to look in the mirror and see that my hard work was overshadowed by loose, hanging skin. So, I opted first for a tummy tuck, and later for…

Glad you asked this question- I am in a similar situation. I suppose I have lost, but it just seems sooooo slow... I do between 1200-1300 cals/ day, also, and walk at least 20 miles per week.
