Thanks everyone. I am in no way meaning that I will give up and stop caring about my health. I can't. I am much happier as I am now then i was 130 lbs ago. Healthier,. I will work to keep where I am if I can't lose much more. I was really disappointed because he has a two month wait to get to see him, everyone said he was…

Your entire op says that. If you won't admit that, whatever. You claimed you meant it was good for You AFTER people told you your post was wrong or negative. Your op is what you really think, your responses afterwards are backtracking. Like I said, I am glad it is working for you right now. I hope you succeed. But there is…

Your entire op was condescending and telling everyone how easy it is if you eat healthy foods, at 1200 calories a day. You did not say it was "working you you". You said you read about ten posts about how hard it is, and questioned if they were eating junk. Don't backtrack. At least own what you say. Bottom line, you are…

As someone who has lost well over 100lbs, and kept it off for three years (and tried it ALL, including 900 calories a day and 2 hours of workout a day) slow and steady keeps it off, and 1200 calories a day does not work for everyone. It might work for you forever, you might cave in a month and binge eat. YOu never know.…

It's called a neg. Attractive guy asks out average girl, compliments her and adds in one softly given insult, hoping to make her work for more compliments, and thinks she is insecure enough to sleep with him. He was banking on my insecurity about my body. Oops, not there.

Some random guy in a Starbucks told me I would be gorgeous of I lost some weight. Then asked me out. I told him the equivalent of,apparently I am gorgeous enough without losing weight, and my self esteem isn't that low.

Because 18yo girls are dumb, impressionable and swayed by older men with money, careers, and freedoms they don't have themselves. Because you are looking to *kitten* and she thinks you are looking for more, and is too dumb and naive to understand that. (and even if she says she understands it, she doesn't) Because a little…

I was very close to mocking you for your lying ways!

Guys in hats (not baseball hats), Good shoulders, thin hips, strong jaw, green eyes and facial hair. Is any of that odd? nah.

I'm not that sensitive, so it really doesn't bother me that much, but I see what people are saying. Some people are nasty. Just because you reached your goal doesn't mean everyone has to listen to your advice. Science or not. Not everything works for everyone else. I lost 130lbs, does that give me the right to be nasty if…

I said usually, not all. I have many people who are fit and look great that offer amazing advice and I always appreciate it. I am just saying, the ones who are typically nasty, are the ones who have reached their goal or came here already fit. (not that all fit people are nasty)

People who have success, which are usually the ones who are nasty on here, like to prove how special they are for getting where they are. They forget how hard it is. Also, i notice it is the people who didn't come here to lose weight at all, and the pretend they are here to support. No, they are here to post photos of…

Thanks so much Marisa! I will check these out!

I clearly have o idea how to post here correctly.

Christina Hendricks? Idk, I try to be realistic and not pick something that is totally not my body type.

Hey Marisa, I guess I need to go to meetup (i joined two groups and never went. - book club and new to seattle) I don't really know any major hikes, so i always end up going to Discovery, which is nice, but not amazing or anything. I miss being so close to downtown! Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!

You DO have nice clavicles. just sayin.

After losing most of the weight I have now, I was in line getting coffee at Starbucks. The goodlooking tall guy walks in and gets in line behind me. I am just standing there, and he says randomly, you know, if you lost some weight, you would be gorgeous. (WTF? Is my first thought) I told him I was already gorgeous and not…

My ex swore I look just like Kelly clarkson, with blue eyes. I have had more than one person say I have the same face (not the body) of the lead singer from marina and the diamonds.

Oh, you mean men actually being fathers and helping out with making dinner, and women having careers? That IS manliness. I think the chest waxing and clothing choices are little to do with manliness, and more to do with style or immaturity.

That is freaking awesome! Yu both look amazing!

@solarpower I think I have seen your abs 10 times a day for a week... I need so ething else to comment on!

26 and 50 to go here!

@yankeesforever Yankees fan! You win.

A real woman is most likely one who realizes we all want different kinds of men (i don't mind a man who cries, and he can certainly do my dishes any day) and the same goes for what men want. It's worked for me so far.

Do I want to know?

Cheekbones!

Would love to help out any way I can, congrats on taking the first step. I am 26 and started at 23yo and lost 130 lbs, still a ways to g, but I did it. So can you!

It is so hard to be at the starting point, but think of it like this...this winter, you can be half way there, next summer, you can reach your goal. Put it in smaller increments. A month from now you can be 10 lbs lighter and no longer have 100 to lose. I hope you friend me, I would love to be there for you.
