I keep a really huge water bottle near me at all times. Just make a conscious effort to drink it instead. Soon you won't even miss soda. Promise!

He looks like a pirate!

I had a Galaxy S3 and was an avid droid fan but switched it the iPhone 5S last year and I love it.

Actually yeah, I do. My future mother-in-law was scammed on a dating website. She lost $5000. She was totally blinded by her emotions that she didn't see that it didn't make sense that he would need the money from her. It's really awful the lengths they'll go to trick older women who are looking for love.

I am 368 pounds, 5'6", and had no issue on my Southwest Flight from Albuquerque to Nashville last week. I needed a seatbelt extender, but since I could get the arms down with no problem, there wasn't an issue. They didn't even bring it up, even though it was a completely full flight. As soon as you get onto the plane, ask…

I think maybe you should throw out the idea of flattering and just wear what you want. I'm really fat and I wear "skinny fit" jeans and I get plenty of compliments. Sure, I wear them with long shirts or tunics that help trim out my body shape, but I mean, I'm fat. No cut of jeans is going to hide that, you know?

Well, if you're okay with doing a low carb diet, ketogenic diets mainly focus on the carb limit and not the calories. Eventually, when you can get the 5/30/65 macros for meals down by memory, you don't really track your food intake at all. Still, it requires careful thinking about what you're eating.

I ate it the other day with some mandarin orange fruit cups. It was pretty good. Most of the time, tho, I just eat it on its own with some salt and pepper.

I've never understood this logic that Obama is the worst president. Have you even heard of Herbert Hoover? Or Warren G. Harding? As for the anti-Christ statement . . . I'm not touching that. Hate the man all you want; I don't care. But he's certainly not the worst president. We have a multitude of presidents with better…

You didn't lose 25 lbs in one night. You won't gain it all back in one night, either. Take a deep breath and get back on track tomorrow.

I eat around 1800-2300 a day if you want to add me.

"All natural" white cheddar cheetos . . . they were so good and pretty low calorie for a 32-piece serving. They're not in my Wal-Mart anymore :(

Hey there. I hope you're having a good day. I suffer from emotional binge eating as a coping mechanism for depression and PTSD, so I know where you are coming from. I would tell you that the most important thing for you to do right now is to get help, from therapy or counseling. If you don't address the underlying issues,…

I'm a little confused by what you're insinuating with your last comment (I dunno if it's directed at me, I'm young since I'm 22) because I honestly agree with you about effort, especially since I'm getting married next year to my partner of 5 years. We put in a lot of effort into our relationship so it can be nurtured and…

My real question to everyone is why does a woman owe her husband sex? Not being in the mood is reason enough to not have sex. Would you even want to do it with someone who was uninterested the whole time? It's her body . . . and marriage should be MORE than about just sex. I think both parties involved are childish (the…

I haven't gone through a relationship break up BUT I recently cut off ties with some very toxic friends and honestly that is what motivates me at the gym most days haha. I don't even know I'd be so focused if I didn't have that OTHER weight off my shoulders!!

15 mins elliptical, 30 mins treadmill for my cardio days (3x a week) I also do 15 mins on the treadmill after strength training because otherwise the squats will cause my legs to cramp the next day.

I'm getting married next summer. I'm losing weight for myself, not for the wedding, but I think it's a bonus :) Feel free to add me.

Wouldn't it have been much easier to have made an Introduce Yourself post and then declined all the friendship requests from women rather than starting this whole mess?

I've only lost 17 pounds the last 2 months but I've gone from being unable to even finish 10 minutes on the elliptical to finishing a mile in 14:45, 13:45, and most recently, 12:30. A huge accomplishment for someone my weight. I think that's more important than seeing the pounds drop off.

When I used to do keto I would dry panfry them until they weren't as slimy (after washing them thoroughly of course), add a little garlic powder, and then add home made no-sugar alfredo sauce with chicken and broccoli. Eventually I found that the shirataki noodles were just filler and instead decided to forgo them in favor…

I see where you're coming from but I completely disagree with you... I've been fat all my life because emotional binge eating was a way to deal with childhood trauma. I had been on diet programs for years, constantly told by my mother that I was never working hard enough and that I was unattractive and wouldn't get a…

Your flippant comment about depression was uncalled for. I have struggled with depression and the way it affects the way you eat is very real and very serious. Don't joke about that kind of stuff. It's not even funny, it's just cruel. Depression isn't something you can snap out of and it's not something you can just wake…

I ate this yesterday :) Pecan granola with blackberry greek yogurt, topped with local honey, blackberries, strawberries, and bananas. edited for size~

This is an enlightening topic. For all of the people here who know a lot about running, can I piggyback on this question? I want to know if running/jogging while extremely obese (I'm over 350) will damage your breast tissue even if you're wearing a bra? Someone told me that once and it's made me paranoid . . . not that I…

If you don't want to go to the gym when it's raining (I totally know how you feel) do some exercises inside. HasFit on youtube has great workouts that you can do with just some standard weights.

friendly!! but only because they look so thoughtful.

1) 22 2) 5'6" 3) 380 4) Exercise at least 3 times a week, sometimes 5, at least 45 minutes a session 5) 2140 6) Not really, haha. I eat about whatever I want, but honestly it's best if you're eating wholesome, low calorie foods like fruits and vegetables so you can eat more and not get hungry. I've lost about 15 pounds in…

"You are worth more than you think. Just because they all tease you and tell you that you're fat when you really weren't doesn't mean you should turn to food for comfort because you believed you would always be fat. Also, don't trust people to have the same moral code as you. Be wary of putting yourself in a compromised…
