I started out at 315. I've been doing this since April & am just now getting down to 272. I plateaued for months, but it's finally moving again. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE some new friends too. Please feel free to add me - I really need support because if I don't get out of the 270's soon, I may just give up hope altogether. My…

Hi Natalie, Wow you have quite a story. Good for you for being able to begin to work through it all. I'd love to be your friend if you're up for it. Feel free to add me. :) Good luck to you hun!

I probably shouldn't reply to this, but it hit a nerve! I think that whatever you need to do Samantha, you should do - it's really no one else's business how you diet/excercise/live. I will be the first person to admit I have no idea what works/what doesn't - or to tell you what to do. Because what works for one person,…

What did the buffalo say to his kid as he left for college? Bison

I'd really like some new friends as well, so anyone can feel free to add me. By the way, Leslie & I are friends and she is wonderful! :smile: Add her!

I agree with everyone...it depends on the day - and especially the amount of sodium/water you have going on in your body. Hot/Cold also does it to me. I've lost about 40 and mine are too big. But I have a lot left to lose, so most days I just don't wear them. I told my husband about it and why (being they are too big and I…

I have well over 100 to lose as well. You can message me or add me too if you'd like :) You can do this!
-
I have been having these too. Along with very drastic mood changes. I talked to my doctor about it and he just prescribed me medication (one I have been on before and he feels I should go back to in order to help with both of those symptoms). Definitely talk with your doctor!
-
I agree with all of the above - if you can find a way to do it on the go, that's the best. I also mostly plug in everything before my day gets started and then if anything changes, I can go back and re-calculate (that's assuming nothing DRASTICALLY changes that would put me over calories, otherwise I do that then and…

I actually heard on the radio just about 10 minutes ago that 1 egg consists of 1/3 of your cholesterol for the day :ohwell: Not sure if it's completely backed up by anything so I don't want to spread any untrue information - I haven't done the research on it, but it may be something you might want to check with your doctor…

This is a great question I was just thinking about yesterday. I am well over 100 lbs away from a final goal, but I thought about this too. That's going to be tough to decide. I completely agree that it'll be easier to slip up if I'm away, but I DO want to get comfortable enough with what I eat everyday to be able to do it…

I have this one and cannot even begin to express how much I love it. I think it's very accurate (closely matches my doctors scale anyway and that is what I was looking for) and works well even on my uneven floors! I did a lot of research into a new scale as well before choosing this one because I had tossed my old one and…

Aww I :heart: this! So proud of you! :bigsmile:
-
WOW! You really don't look like the same person! GREAT GREAT JOB! What an inspirational story! :) I am so happy for you!!!

Considering we've had infertility problems (my husband and I), I'd settle on just having one. Ideally though, I'd love 3 - in any mixture I could get them - boys, girls, or boys and girls. Wouldn't matter to me! :) I like this thread!
-
Tell her to MYOB and keep doing what you're doing. Besides, any great company would want you to keep doing what you're doing as they should support your being healthy - whatever it takes. I take short 10 minute breaks and walk around the parking lot during the day. I get the "oh you should really be at your desk working"…
-
I'm glad that I found this thread as I have some questions on this one too. Some of the information MFP's have provided has been helpful, but I'm definitely going to ask my doctor about low carbs next time I see him (which probably won't be for a while...knock on wood!). I am not completely cutting out carbs, but I have…
-
I think everything in the entire world has, at one point or another, been deemed unhealthy. So really...if we looked at all of the negatives of everything, nothing we are eating is good for us lol. Everything in moderation, and I think it is important to find what works for YOU and your body....not what anyone else says…

Those chocolatey delight 100 calorie pack pastry crisps. Wait....that's not too bad right? Well I ate 3 of them LOL. I opted to skip most of what I brought for lunch and eat 300 calories worth of garbage! But I....like everyone else.....don't regret it. I guess that's what makes this process so hard LOL.

How do I ever begin to express my thanks on this. It totally explains my 4 lb gain from Sunday. I was so frustrated his morning that I began another side journal of what I am noticing and what I am eating. My sodium has been ridiculous & I know for a fact my water intake has been low. This is probably a great indication of…
-
There is nothing wrong with you. It takes time to figure out what is going on. When I started in March 2012 I didn't even lose a single pound (may have gained too but don't know because I never had a consistent scale until recently) until May 2012. And every day and every minute sucked. I agree with pdj1220. It takes a…

WOW! What an incredible story!!! Congratulations to you and your wife! I have a significant amount of weight to loss - today feels hopeless, but I am confident that I will get to feeling hopeful again. Thanks for posting. Feel free to add me if you would like, but no pressure! I am pretty dedicated to this process as I…

Sadly - I hate to admit - I am a fan of the biebs. I caught the bieber fever! WAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :sad:
-
You're right. Food is an extremely touchy subject for some people. I am one. Thank you for posting this.
-
I don't have mine open to be viewed. Part of it is because people are harsh and I don't yet know if I can trust people to be kind when commenting on what I eat, and part of it is because I truly don't want or feel a need for people to know. If I am under, why can't you say good job anyway? All because you don't know what I…
-
Great work!!! You truly look incredible! So proud of you! P.S. I LOVE your face in the picture you are pulling out those pants! Lol
-
Anyone who has a significant amount of weight to loss should be able to relate to this. I certainly know I can. It is hard to not let some moments and comments get to you. People say extremely excrutiatingly painful things without any regard to who it can hurt. And no one can take that hurt away from you once it is there.…
-
I support you & give you lots of kudos for recognizing this, but like you said, some of it may just be fluctuated weight. Remember not everyday will be a 162 even if you stick to calorie counts/workouts everyday. Sadly it just doesn't work like that Bodies can be sick sometimes. I still think you have and are doing…
-
I can relate to everything everyone is saying on here. I find it difficult to even have the energy to go to the gym some days because I simply don't want to deal with the stares and the egos that are associated there. I am a big person - the only thing that motivated me to get a membership at the gym is that I truly want…

I would get a new scale - I bought a great one at Walmart that I believe was under $40.00 and I swear it works GREAT. It's accurate and I weigh in the same place daily (I weigh daily too for the same reasons). I even believe it's close to a doctors scale because when I weigh in at my doctors office, his is a bit more…
