Hiya everyone! I have just started my process to collect paperwork and get my doctor's appointments in and such for a bypass surgery hopefully in the first half of this year. My starting weight during the first consultation was 214 kilo (about 472lbs). With my BMI over 60, I don't have to wait until after the nutrition…

I am over 400 lbs and I think that every pound you loose, every day you are going through your path even if you struggle is reason to celebrate because you stick to it, you are doing something to change your life. That alone is reason for daily parties imho. Even if you are having a hard phase where you might gain a pound…

I just saw this today and thought i'd share: http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2012/03/23/facebook-says-it-may-launch-legal-action-against-employers-who-ask-for-user-passwords/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheNextWeb+(The+Next+Web+All+Stories)

Imho that is not even a question. Totally not. Not only because it is a violation of privacy but also it is against the Rules of Facebook. And i'd be damned to break rules of them just to get to work for someone who wants to snoop into my account and would be able to change everything or delete stuff. "You will not share…

That helped a lot tmontgomery69. I found Bodylastics on amazon so i know i can get them also in Germany. Thank you :)

I also wonder if it might have to do with the hot weather. It has been really hot the last couple of days.

Daily Calories: 2450 Height: 6'3'' Current Weight: 408 lbs Calories burned from Exercise: between 0 and 600 - depends on what i do if i do it

That site is really neat, though i have to lose 20 more kg before i can use it.. when i put in my start weight it adjusts "fitting to max BMI".. *shakes fist*

I do not take days off really.. i always watch my food and i do my daily round. I don't see why i should. When i am a day off, it does not matter if it is a wednesday, monday or sunday to me, it's not that i'm planning it :)

The 1200 is the minimum you should eat/drink a day. That is the same for everyone to not get into starvation mode, which only causes that you might lose at the start but your body thinks you starve and starts to collect fat so you don't which ends in gaining weight again or/and hitting plateau. Your personal calorie goal…

Some things i do: 1. give in for a tiny bit of it, like a bite and put it back. It is enough for me to satisfy the craving but not go over the top. 2. chewing gum 3. sit down and asking myself if i am hungry or not, alone that sitting down and thinking takes time so i forget about cravings 4. distracting myself 5. Eating…

Since neither me nor my boyfriend have a job and he's a student we are on very low budget all the time. We buy most of the stuff at Aldi, which is around the corner - in Germany not that hard i don't know about where you are. Prices are good and the frozen things are tasty and not as expensive, if you don't use the ones…

lol yes what mlinkletter said

Check if your sodium intake levels are okay. Otherwise you gain muscles and those are heavier than the fat is. Plus your body retains water when you workout.

Nothing stops me, why should it. We are doing a lifestyle change not a diet. That means this here will last the rest of our life. To say "i must not eat this and that" will end it frustration and cravings and we might stop to change the life because the other one was much 'funnier'. Rather than that i just take a little…

Dear construction workers in front of my window, do you really have to get up at 5am so you can start to pound your sledgehammers on the ruins of what once has been the street at 7am when i just had a couple of hours sleep? Wouldn't it be much nicer to sleep a while and come to work at, let's say 12 noon? I would also very…

How did it start... well i was always overweight, not much but still. Started with my parents teaching me how bad it was to not eat it all "tomorrow will be rainy if you don't eat" and remember i did not want to be blamed from all the people not liking rain, until a certain age i even believed that rain was caused by…

I have a digital one i got cheap at ebay and it was worth more than the money i paid

Wohooo awesome, you look awesome!

I will definitely keep them coming. I did not see a change before, i saw myself everyday and did not notice any difference. But seeing those pictures made me all hyper and happy and even more motivated to go on. I can only encourage everyone do make progress pictures, even without showing, just for you. It is an *amazing*…

Thank you everyone :) Sadly this is the only pair of pants i have. Still i am too big for the biggest jeans in the oversize shops here. But also correct is that i wanted to wear the same outfit to show better how much is visible :) I can't wait to check back in a few months and see more haha

If i am hungry i eat something shortly before going to bed and i am still losing weight. I try not to have a big meal or something though, something small to kill the nagging hunger feeling. But time does not matter for me at all, i don't eat after the watch, i eat when my body needs something and don't when it doesn't

It can happen a lot. Many things are going in when you are losing weight. If you had too much sodium your water starts to collect water for instance. If your TOM is coming you might even gain weight although eating wise everything is perfect. Sometimes the body just holds onto the pounds although you do nothing wrong,…

sounds delish, thanks for sharing :)

In addition to that.. check if you have maybe too much sodium/salt in your meals. Are you eating back your exercise calories (if not you can easily have not enough calories intake for your body).

I had broken several chairs until then, my doctor told me i would not get older than 40, i was not able to get clothing in any shop because i was too big, was diagnosed with diabetes, and have an enourmous blood pressure... but strangely that all did not help. It was a shelf collapsing when I supported myself on it to…

I think it is what has been said before. they want to support you and not hurt you. That it does not help is another thing. But i have that too. "you are not fat, you are just too small for your weight" or "you are healthy and strong, not fat" and what not. Oh and btw. i am one of the VERY tall who's normal weight would be…

I would love to say no, but actually my self esteem is so low and the depression too deep, that i care way too much about what others say and think of me and let me drag down with that. Funny enough that when they say positive things i don't believe them and don't listen.. Still working on that bit.

I have 2720 calories goal a day. So nope you are not *lol*
