Eh, ya know... people will judge you for anything. Because of your gender, race, size, sexual orientation, hair color, eye color.... let 'em. At the end of the day... who cares? I'm open about my surgery. I looked into for 10 years, but knew I didn't want the band or RNY, which was all that was really out there. I had the…

I've had every Kindle version (including Fire) since the 2nd edition. Everyone in my family has both an e-ink Kindle and a Fire. The Fire is NOT good for reading unless you like LED screens. We read on the e-ink and use the Fire as a toy. I've got the new PaperWhite Kindle on pre-order. I'm a HUGE book nerd, easily read…

When I hit under 200, my good friend gifted me a Withings. OMG. I LOVE THIS SCALE. It's digital and wifi and updates to an app on my phone and I think it can do like six people. It measures body fat, etc etc. It was like $160 but I wish I had bought myself one a year ago. Not for the faint of heart though... or budget!

I've lost 184 pounds with another 15-50 to go (depending on how I feel, I'm taking it 5 pounds at a time once I hit 200 lost). I will most definitely have plastic surgery. I had weight loss surgery (gastric sleeve) which has given me an entire new lease on life (we all have our own journey and that's what it took for ME…

Haven't read all the responses, but my suggestion is to get a 1 week free pass from one, try it out for a week, then try a few others and decide. Around here, 24 Hour Fitness was where I ended up because it was staffed all day/night, so I felt safer than Anytime. And the meatheads are at Gold's. LOL. It's different…

I have now lost over 184 pounds. I have skin on top of skin. It's a mess, plainly put. Frankly, the chances of it firming up are slim if you have lost a whole lot. Especially your husband. It has to do with genetics as well as how long you were overweight. I was SMO for the past 20+ years. My skin is stretched out and…

I rarely post here much less read, but felt compelled to respond... People do what works for them. You do you. That's what is most important. I started my own journey at 375 pounds. Today, I'm 191. I do leave my diary open, but ONLY to my friends on here. I have good days. I have bad days. I have REALLY bad days and REALLY…

I guess I so rarely experienced this... even when I started this and I was 375 pounds. I'm not sure if I turned a blind eye to it, just exuded a positive attitude or what. I think the advice you have gotten is sound. Just do your own thing. I'm not in the gym to socialize. I was there at 375 to workout. I'm there now at…

I guess I'm a little weird... I like mine plain. My fave (and it actually keeps my tummy happy) is Breakstone's Live Active. The little 4 oz containers are a great protein punch for the calories.
