MFP is an awesome site! The people here are amazing and the tools are simple and very helpful. Feel free to add me to your friends. Having the support of people going through the same efforts that you are helps more than I ever gave it credit for!

Hi there! I started at the end of May at 224 the heaviest I've ever been and a snug size 18 at 5'7" (well almost 7", nobody will ever give me that last 1/4"...). I'm down to 194.5 as of today but NO idea what size I could squeeze into. The clothes in my closet ranges from a 6 to an 18 so every now & then I grab something…

Hi Rick, gotta love those long days followed by airport and hotel food! Gym? The hotel had a gym? Um yeah, at 2 am when I'm just finishing the work I SHOULD have done had I been allowed to be at my office the LAST place I'm headed is a gym!

For me it's all about feeling better in my own skin and in my environment! I've been (and AM!) fat and I've been thin. I see - and more than see - I FEEL how much differently heavy people are treated everywhere. When I was thin (5'7", 140lbs), getting a new job was easier, making friends was easier, even shopping was…
