Your first line is exactly me! About 50 lbs lost and 200 to go! I also have less than supportive family members. That's awesome that you chose to write instead of eat! The more healthy activities you can find, the better! The more healthy weapons you have to combat all the nasty comments and feelings, the better! If those…

Oh wow, some truly horrible things that have been said to people. But I am a firm believer in Karma. All these words will come back.. Having been fat from the age of 1, I have more stories than I can count. But here are the top 5: 5. My two friends inviting me over for a movie night but having an "intervention" instead…

Woohoo! I love chicken on pizza! Reminds me of the Pizza Hut Chicken pizza in Sri Lanka with the tikka flavor! I use uncooked tortillas as my lower-fat pizza base. Here in the States I use the uncooked tortillas by Tortillaland that they have at Costco and Walmart. I dock it A.K.A. stab it all over (I mean ALL OVER) with a…

Unfortunately, I haven't done much swimming since the winter because our city indoor pool is just so darn crowded! But I'm in the pool three times a week for water aerobics. These next two Saturdays our class is canceled so I will get some laps in on Sunday instead. I'm kinda excited! I got some new Aquashere goggles I…

Nonfat greek yogurt is your best friend. Well, it's my best friend... 120 cals for 22 grams of protein. For breakfast with my milk from my coffee, that's 30+ grams of protein.

I work at our downtown clinic sometimes and what is the nearest place to by groceries? The liquor store. The next closest? A Salvadorian bakery with a few Salvadorean imported items. I have worked in this area for 3 years now and have yet to find a supermarket. There is one store with fresh fruit out front, but it's…

I've noticed two things about my own hair loss: 1) When I wasn't getting enough fats in my diet or I wasn't eating enough calories, my hair would fall out like you described. I even started to notice the thinning on the front of my head!! In the past I've tried to restrict my calories/fats too much and this happened. As…

Try Hula dancing! I am in the 300's and I've been doing hula dance (auana) for over 5 years. i have just started my weight loss journey again 6 months ago, and yes, my hips are a little happier with 48 lbs less of me, but I find that the hula community is accepting of people of all ages, sizes, shapes and abilities. It has…

Yes! This! ^^^ This is what I was thinking while I was going through this post! I've been in Plus Sizes since I was in the 6th grade!! I would be over the moon if I could wear a regular 12 or 14. 10 and I might fall on the ground and cry with joy.

It's funny. One time I saw a nutritionist through my health insurance and she tried to make me only 1200 calories. At 380 lbs (at the time), it felt impossible. I begged to be at 1500, which is what the previous nutritionist told me and had worked for the previous 4 weeks, but the new one told me 1300 calories max. I only…

I don't see why not. If you have your own method of keeping track of things that doesn't require this app, go for it. As long as you have something that keeps you accountable somewhere. I think there are quite a few people who do that on here.

Nonfat greek yogurt some sort of bread nonfat lactose free milk jarred bruchetta (yum yum) Multigrain water crackers some sort of lettuce spinach or bok choi some sort of chocolate substance green peppers onions smart balance nom nom nom... ETA to add last three items... duh!

I too was a water exerciser and didn't think I could make it on land because I'm in your friend's weight range. But I have found that Leslie Sansone's Walking videos have been pretty good. You can find some of them on YouTube and if your friend likes them, you can buy them for like $9 at Walmart, which was a pleasant…

Suddenly Salad Bacon Ranch pasta salad. I know, it's processed and artificial as all heck, but there's something so delicious about it. Until I started counting calories and realized it's 320 calories PER 3/4 CUP!!! I could easily pack away a couple cups of that stuff! Goodbye, pasta salad... we had a good run. As for…

I've started pool swimming about three weeks ago after starting water aerobics last August. Believe it or not, I used to be on my high school swim team (200 lbs and 18 years ago!), but had just learned to swim at age 13. Anyway, I noticed my weight has stayed the same since starting swimming (well, that's including the…

Wow, you are an amazing inspiration to me! I'm trying hard to lose a large amount of weight, too. I feel sometimes it's daunting, but the more stories I read of amazing people like you with big losses, I realize it's all about sticking to it because it's going to take time. It took 21 years to gain my extra weight... so…

Try Shrimp with Snow Peas (or any shrimp stir fry with veggies). I find that to be the best caloriewise. Also any clear (like a simple egg drop or miso) soups at the beginning would help fill you up. I sometimes try stir-fried veggies as a base instead of rice or noodles (to save some calories). Also, some Chinese buffets…

This kinda sounds like my dad... and my best friend... both of whom I've been tempted to tell off lately but have not! The biggest thing I've learned this past year (and over the 42 lbs I've lost) is that I have to trust myself and my plan. If it doesn't work, I will evaluate and adjust it... no one else! So I like that…
-
You are incredible! You and I have very similar weight goals!!. Sometimes I think that the over 200 lbs I want to lose is daunting, but to lose so much in a year...WOW!!! You are a total inspiration to me now! Thank you for sharing you story and congratulations on the weight loss!

I'll give it a try! As long as my dance class once a week counts, too!:smile:

I log caffeinated tea, but don't bother with the herbals. Because honestly, hot water and sticks and leaves... meh. Can't be that bad. :)

Almost succumbed to my inner laziness but got myself up and did Leslie Sansone 2 mile walk for 32 minutes this morning before going to my friend's house.
