Unfortunately, very few people in my life mention anything and even though my clothes are looser, I don't really notice that I look different. I still have another 100 pounds to go...hopefully people will start to notice.

Metallica with Guns N Roses 1992 (I think) at the Rose Bowl. It was so awesome! The second would be Motley Crue with Queensryche in 1987 (not sure exact year)

Hi, many people use food as a way to deal with emotions and stress. As a compulsive over-eater, I use food to take me away from my problems temporarily. Dealing with the root cause of the problem is important, because if you don't you'll just go back to the way you were before you lost weight. If you can, look into…

Way to go Kazz! Thank you for sharing and show those of us who have a lot to lose that it can be done!!! You are amazing :)

It will "shock" people at first and then when they see similar numbers at all restaurants they'll become desensitized to it. But I agree the info should be there.

I just thought about weighing. Just ordered another food scale because mine was accidentally dropped in a sink of soapy water and died. That's definitely what I'll do next time.

I'd like to join! Starting Sept 4 Good Day: 1 Binge Day: 0 Will not allow food to substitute for dealing with my feelings!

My dad is from Italy and came to the US when he was 26. My mom from Iowa.

Broccoli Frigo light mozzarella sticks Lean Cuisine or WW entree (varies but have one for lunch daily) Pizza Lettuce Tomatoes Turkey

Make some trail mix and add them in for a little variety.

This is what I was going to say. I have a diet that is higher on the sodium, but it is consistent. It does not affect my weight loss except for minor fluctuations from day to day.

You did it with hard work and determination! Good job!

Yup, I've lost 100 so far and need to lose 100 more. Send me a friend request. I log everyday and try to comment on your posts. -Jeannette

Wow, that is pretty shady. I hope you got a full refund. I'd report them to the BBB.

So happy and proud of you!!! You are doing amazing! I definitely regret ever getting a fill. I think that is what made my band slip and ultimately it needed to be removed. You look great and I am sure you feel so much better!!

This!!! I know you were not trying to give advice, just making a comment. Oh well, her loss for automatically dismissing what you said because of your weight. I am obese as well and i'm a cancer researcher looking for new drugs to treat children with relapsed leukemia. I'm pretty darn smart and have been successful.…

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Very much a binge eater here. I've been that way for years. There is a great book called "Shrink Yourself" by Roger L. Gould. He also has a 12 week online class to help overcome binge eating. I am in week 5 and so far it has been very helpful. Now if I would just apply what I learn. I am happy to be a support!

Hi Bella, My ultimate goal is 200 pounds lost. I have lost over 120. I understand all about food issues and being agoraphobic. I spent 4 years locked up in my house not going anywhere except to work. I did have the lap band surgery and for me I had a very quick recovery and very little side effects, so it is definitely a…

I lost 80 pounds before my pant sizes started changing. I still have some pants that are from when I was 120 pounds heavier that I still wear. It is frustrating. No one even noticed I lost weight until I lost 100 pounds. All you can do is keep doing what you are doing. Congrats on your loss!!

My favorite is Newman's Light Balsamic Vinaigrette. 2 Tablespoons are only 45 calories. Yummy!!

I'm pretty sure he meant that he drove 415 miles so that he could spend 3.5 hours with someone and once those 3.5 hours were over he drove back. Not that he drove 415 miles in 3.5 hours.:flowerforyou:

Definitely not 1000...maybe 300 and only if was going to be a weekend filled with major under the covers activities.

The parking guy flirted with me and told me I was beautiful without makeup.

There are lots of people who have very strong opinions one way or the other. It is a very personal question that only you can answer. When you are as heavy as I was (over 425) your options for success are smaller and smaller as the years pass. 7 years ago, I had lost 125 pounds previously using just diet and exercise and I…

1) Email from a very special person which gave me much hope. 2) Awesome traffic on the way to and from work today. 3) Being Human, House and Lost Girl all on my DVR waiting for me tonight!

Hi Aran, I'm here for you and I sent you a friend request. I know exactly what you are going through and any new journey is scarey. But you can do this.

Hang in there. I know it can be very tough. I had an extremely difficult time all of December and most of January. I just decided to re-focus and set some goals for the next couple of months. I'm also trying to focus on more exercise. I see my surgeon on Wednesday and will be getting my second fill. I've only had 1 fill…

How awesome! That must have made you feel on cloud 9! You are amazing!
