Hey, my heaviest was 295, yo-yo'd a little, and now I'm at 276 and losing! Add me!

Um... you win. The worst it ever got for me was when I was at my heaviest and if my son (who was 4 at the time) had to leave the table for any reason he would always tell me not to eat the rest of the food. Ouch! The other day at Walmart was weird too. I was buying shoes for my kids and had just talked to my husband…

Mine is open and I usually have a great blend of healthy and not so healthy within my calorie guidelines. Please don't *kitten* me though.

^Yep.

It's a good smile I'll admit lol I appreciated his hard core no BS attitude too. I did ask for some mean answers if necessary. I know I probably sounded like I had a lot of excuses. What is anyone's goal on here (who wants to lose an incredible amount of weight) but to lose as much weight as they can in as short a time as…

You make some excellent points. And let me just say I really appreciate the input you're giving me! I am a stay at home mom. What I do depends on the day. Monday is office day, Tuesday is town day, Wednesday is kitchen day, Thursday is Laundry day, Friday is cleaning day, Saturday is garden day and Sunday is all about…

I probably should just prove myself committed to the cause before investing money, you're right about that. The only complication is that with my husband working full time from 3pm to 12am and going to school from 7am to 2pm, that would mean I would have to do exercise either at home or outside and as much as I love being…

We are a one income family under my husband. I completely agree with what you're saying! Although the government claims that we are well under the poverty level, we are managing our money just fine without having to resort to welfare checks or things of that nature (not that some situations don't call for that). We forgo…

Yea seriously.. nine months? That's fantastic. The trick to those horrible binge days is being SO SO CAREFUL for the next few weeks that you don't say "what's the harm" and do it again. Falling back into that habit is why we get so big in the first place. As if you don't know. The next trick is planning those days ahead of…

Hey that's awesome! Probably has better effect too (being exercise and al) I'm so glad some people recognize this kind of success! Thanks for replying!

God didn't intend all this drama. I swear that a relationship without drama is one of life's greatest gifts. You are posting this because you know what the answer is already. Lose them both, have your heart broken for a little while, and in time you will be both completely fine and smarter for it.

Wean yourself off of it to avoid headaches, and just search until you find the right low-0 calorie option. Preferably water.

My name is Rachel and I go to Bible Baptist Church in OK. I wish there were more members here!

LOL my son saw this and was like "Whhaaaa? Is he dancing?" nevermind he is standing on bacon :tongue:

Ohmagerd. Perhaps you had no idea that was my NUMBER ONE CRAVE FOOD when I was preggers with #2. drool...

lol I might be :flowerforyou:

I hope you're kidding lol If you aren't.. you can search "starvation mode" on these forums and get a list 2 weeks long.

You are a terrible. terrible. person. :laugh:

And don't get me started with the phrase "starvation mode"

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

lol me too.. sad day...

I lost about 100 pounds before, and mine did. I'm really looking forward to that now. Fitting into a bra? Magical.

Okay.. it's BAD.. I'm not saying it isn't. But let's not pretend like those who shop at McDonald's are forced to eat like they do. Nearly everyone here should be able to appreciate the struggle in saying no, but nearly everyone here still says no.

Aren't there patient rating sites online where you can warn people about his tendencies? That makes me sad to hear him say this... and be so obviously for profit. And as much as it hurts to admit, this probably represents a good ratio of America. For every 1 person doing the hard thing and doing it right, there is another…

As an American, it seriously embarrasses me to say that really... the only truly american food is FAST food. We helped make the world a fatter place.

Personally I just surround myself with the people who are relatively like-minded with me. Or at least don't advertise the sort of thing you're talking about. I can honestly say that aside from the constant "hot or not" thing I haven't seen it. Of course I'm not looking for it either. Maybe I'm the weird one. As far as…
