I know i have been there too and i am prepared to get backslides at one point. Though for me it helped to actually write *everything* down i ate to see how much that really was. It was quite a shock for me because i thought 'can't be that bad'. To see how much i actually ate and how much money that costs has been the…

I found this by accident.. so since that is obviously about the post allykat8 wrote to my answer to the said topic i maybe should say something too. When i read your first comment, allykat8, i indeed felt like "i had enough people telling me what to do in my life, i finally found my way that WORKS for me and there is…

I have to PICK? can't i just say "all of them"? lol i like food too much and i like lots of varieties of foods so i would have a hard time choosing anything. If i'd have to.. chinese, all italian, all meat, all cheese, bread, chips .. (the sweets you can keep don't like them lol) you get the picture *lol*

thank you :) I did not reply earlier because there is no "no new posts to the forum you replied to" notification email option. I am very bad with forums when i don't that that notification and would not have checked if i would not have gotten a nice PM asking me if i have been chased away. Was wondering why she thought…

And as it has been stated, yes i cannot hop on a scale to see how much i lost because the scales don't go high enough. but i am measuring neck, waist and tummy. And if i would not lose any weight i would not have lost 10 cm around my tummy.. just saying :)

I do lose weight, thanks a lot. When the body is such a mass like mine it has a far over 4000 calorie burn Daily just to keep the weight it has, when i eat almost or even more than 1000 calories LESS than i need to keep my weight i lose weight. I know what i am doing :)

I am 6'3'' tall, i don't know my weight because i am too heavy for scales, though i guess between 230 and 250 kilo (which would be something between about 460 and 500 pounds) and pant size not measurable in German size charts and i have no clue about American or English charts *lol*

So far it goes between 700 and 1100 calories and is most of the time the biggest calorie meal for me.

I track everything and i need it, because i have no feeling for calories and stuff and i WANT to stay in my limits. Even when i have days with pizza and chips i put that down, it does not bring me anything to leave them out than pretending i had a super healthy day and look good in front of others which is stupid and does…

Okay with being at about 500lbs i know that it is hard to do some things with being at high weight. Like skipping would be the death of my joints. Even walking is, though swimming and water aerobics is pretty fun. Steps can hurt, though when you have a bicycle that is a pretty nice way too, when you have some green spots…

For me the thing with the size is true. When i have bigger plates i think i didn't eat as much as when i use a smaller dish, though it is the same amount of food. Color and shape didn't have any effect to me yet, though.

Now i feel like a thing between man and woman *laughs* very funny though :)

You absolutely Rock. Having all the pressure from your family and still say "Suck it up i do it my way if you like it or not" is something that needs LOTS of strength. You can be proud of you for being that strong. And you will show them that your way is a great way, i am sure :)

I eat when i am hungry, i cannot fix that into a time schedule or an exact number of meals. Also i don't say beforehand "this and that meal is allowed to have that and this amount of calories." That comes when i am cooking. And i will just watch spontaneously the meals afterwards so they don't go over the limit. Very…

That is a wonderful idea and so sweet to include your son i am sure it'll be awesome and she will be so touched :)

I don't weigh at all, i am looking forward though to the day when i find a scale that can carry me AND tell me my weight. It's still a long way but i know i can do it :)

Hello Krista, first welcome to MFP :) I am here for a week as well and some things in your story i can connect to. I have never been slim or anything in that area, i always have been too heavy and too big it just became worse over the years (so i am morbid obese now), so i cannot say that exercise is a good old friend.…

I love cooking - the rest.. phew when you would be able to look around here you would see i hate housework *lol* really i can't stand it, am a horrible housewoman and usually only do it when i know a month in advance that i am going to get visitors

Mine's public too though not a good example since i'm just at the start :)

*laughs* yes sounds like a great advice, i will ignore her from now on *G*

Thank you everyone, i was really upset when i talked with her - and no she is no pro, she calls herself an expert because she had to lose weight herself (it's like being an expert with quitting smoking because you made it). She gave me another calculator website and said "tell me how much LESS calories you might be able to…

I play a lot. Guild Wars, Perfect World, Sims, a few more and Second Life (though i would not call the later a game or something to play but that is another story *G*)

Me as well :)

chandni khondji is my login name for second life, which i use to "play" a lot and i use it most for many other sites. Chandni is a Hindi name meaning Moonlight. (I am not indian but i like India and fell in love with the name first time i heard it *G*)

Thank you Ed, those words were wonderful and brought tears to my eyes as well. i'm not christian but i think that these words fit to every belief, thank you for being such an amazing person :)

Hello ashleemegan and welcome :) I just joined today as well and yes after the first euphoria i have this little nagging voice in the back of my head wondering if can really do this, but i've heard that there is always a great support and help here which surely will help though the hard times :) I have the same problem…

My piece of love for myself today was signing up here :happy:
