Howdy! I'm liberal, atheist, but luckily I'm in Portland, Oregon. Though I grew up in the Midwest and know what it's like be surrounded by pretty decent people but you just don't quite click. I'd love to be a support friend on here.

So sorry to hear this!

I confess that I have 200 lbs to lose. And I'm super proud that I'm on my 14th straight day of logging!

This is absolutely incredible! What an AMAZING story! Thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:

I will most definitely be trying this!

Awesome job, dude! The first thing I notice is how clear your jaw line is -- something I look forward to seeing in myself!

Hey there! I've been on and off of MFP for a year or so now I think. Now I feel as though my life depends on me losing weight, so I'm working hard at it! I've been an out and loud atheist for 4 or 5 years now, an out lesbian for 13 years, and a happily coupled lesbian for 1 1/2 years. :) Waving hello from Seattle!

Sooooooo...is this group still around?

Howdy! I'm an out atheist for a few years now, and a happily partnered out lesbian as well. Going back to school to study Neurobiology, and school starts next week! As I ponder this really being our only life, and our only expression of us, it makes me realize how being morbidly obese makes me miss out on so many cool…

Well put, and enough said! It's an amazing, amazing feeling when you find someone that is your best friend and your spouse all in one. Glad for you! :) :heart:

Are we allowed to swear on here? Cuz the only thing I could think was, HOLY F&#K!! That's AMAZING!!

:heart: YAY Seattle/Bellevue!! 'Cept we're already friends but you know, just wanted to represent! :happy:

225 still to go after a 24 lb weight loss. Would like to connect with others with high goals.

OMG that is sooooooo funny!!!

That is TERRIBLE!! OMG!

Hahahahaha!!! Poor kid!!

Wow, HUGE change! Great job!! :happy:

I took ONE online class and decided to never do that again because I couldn't believe the horrible spelling and grammar. We all make mistakes here and there, but my gawd! It was so over the top it was almost impossible to read! And then they'd comment on each other's posts using texting language. I was only 29 and felt…

I have 244 lbs to lose, and am 17 lbs down, which of course means there's still 227 to go. No kidding that's daunting!! For me, I think it's been about not accepting the life that obesity forces me into anymore. I want to have a more active life, I don't want to not be able to fit into theater seats and have to plan out…

No kidding! She mentioned forums on this website, not solving the issues with the national economy or getting Congress to play nicely. As a country we look unbelievably stupid when we can't even master *our own* language!

Wow, that is a truly remarkable story. And sadly very relateable to me as well. I so applaud you and love that you have such supportive friends in your life! <3

Be prepared for TMI: My friend innocently gave me an Alli pill before we sat down to an 11pm dinner at IHOP once. He said, 'Try it. It blocks a third of the fat you eat so you don't gain it.' Seeing as I knew what I'd just ordered, I took it. Wow. Holy effing effity eff wow. After ONE pill in three days time, I managed to…

Wow, great job!! Very pretty! :glasses:

Bump! I just want to see people's response to this bc I'm curious, too. :)

That's HILARIOUS, because it's totally true! Hahaha!

Hahahaha!! Ahhh that's funny! Better luck next time luvbizkit!

Wow, hot mama! You look awesome!

Aw, she was just trying to share something she enjoyed w you. I *highly* doubt that it was meant to be controlling or rude. If you can look at it from that angle and appreciate her thought behind it, just say something along the lines of, "I know, Joan is an amazing baker isn't she?!" She may just agree, rave about it for…
