hahaha! Don't worry girls, I'm totally kidnap proof! :P No seriously, good point, good point.

1. Don't concern yourself about what other women consider themselves to be - define yourself as you see/feel yourself and don't worry about others, whether or not you think they are delusional. 2. You are assuming someone is unhealthy if they are "overweight", but not unhealthier if they are not? I don't know about you but…

Feel free to read my thread on how I felt a month ago and all the great advice I got!

Anyone struggling with large amounts of weight to lose or who have lost large amounts feel free to add me! Or anyone else for that matter!

I felt the exact same way a month ago and have completely turned that thinking around! You can too! So much support here. Just hold yourself accountable and be here. I've lost 9 lbs in 4 weeks and feeling better already! Have about 140 to go! So started at the same place as you. And I also lost 96 lbs a few years ago and…

A human head!

I have lost almost 100 (96) before, just a few years ago and gained it all back plus more. I need to lose about 130- just started getting serious again 3 weeks ago. Would be happy to support each other along the way!

Lost 95 lbs here, and gained back 115! After much reluctance and little hope I got back on it and have lost 6 lbs my first week with the support here! Feel free to add me!

Hi Sabrina! Join my little group of friends! I just posted this a week ago and these ladies and gents have really got me back in the zone! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1019881-ever-lost-100-lbs-or-close-to-it-gained-it-all-back - lots of good advice here- and SO much support! Please feel free to add me and stay…

Yay!

I certainly do not wish to scare anyone! Sorry about that. I am finding out this is a very real thing for many. And the bottom line seems to be a change of lifestyle and of mind. That's it. Let's do this and not look back!

What can I say? You get me, sister! :) Thanks! Would love to keep in touch!

Really awesome! Thank you so much! I whole-heartedly agree and needed to hear this (or read it- ha!)

And to you! Thank you! I'm a student too so I feel ya!

I agree! I hope it's helping other people as much as it is motivating me right now! Yay!

I believe you are correct! Thank you and best of luck to you!

Thank you! Yes! This is what I want! And I have started it. Here are some changes I have made this year: NO SODA. I was a coke zero addict. But I quit this year and have absolutely NO desire to go back to it. Biggest reason is I found out about GMOs last year and that freaks me out. So I have always changed my diet quite a…

Your faith in a stranger is empowering! Thank you! Gonna head out as soon as I am done reading all these awesome comments! :)

This post made me smile, thank you! You're awesome! It does become a life or death feeling once you are in your 40's huh? It's no longer about vanity for me as I know I am pretty good looking regardless - ha! It's about the fact that my dad was 16 years older than I am now when he passed away of a heart attack! That…

Yeah, I kinda stopped caring too. But not completely otherwise I wouldn't be here! Neither would you! :)

Thanks- I feel like you totally get it. I also struggle with the acceptance of who I am vs wanting to be healthy. I think they key is to love yourself no matter what, but BECAUSE you love yourself, you want to take care of yourself. If you don't then you don't really love yourself as much as you think. I remember my former…

Yeah the "wanting" to is my biggest challenge right now and I know that has to come on my own, and no one can help me with that. I don't want it to feel like this big, time consuming thing. I just want it to be my life, without a second thought (I had gotten to that place before my relapse but I also know it took me time…

Thank you! Super sweet and I appreciate it very much!

Thanks everyone, for your replies. They are helpful, and I promise you once I get my momentum back, I am a great motivator in return! I'm a little new at connecting with people on here so forgive me while I try to navigate how to respond to things. I had no idea I even had all the replies til today! I'm overwhelmed and…

Well it took me two years to do it, and it was a program through Cedar Sinai Hospital, but it consisted of living off of shakes, bars, and meal replacements. When I got off of this program I began to gain it back. But I was also off the meds for binge eating disorder and I began binging again. I want to do it for LIFE this…

Thank you- you are totally right! Yes- I do enjoying trying new recipes and going for hikes. I'll focus more on the fun parts. Thanks!

Thank you. Yes, yes. The insanity... trying to stop it. It IS the problem! ha!

I appreciate the support and totally agree!
