Married at 18 for me, 19 for him... still very happily married 5 years later :)

My Dad had it done... yea he went from 400 to 130... which made him look sickly... but now he is diabetic, he is gaining weight back, he was very very sick after it was done, and has a lot of health trouble that could or could not be related, but based on all it did do I'm guessing they are. Anyway just because you lose…

I haven't read it! I have a feeling it would put me even farther off of meat products lol

Oh man... stand back I love love love Pop Tarts

And also.. My Fitness Pal is free and all you need to do is follow the guidelines given for guaranteed weight loss (and not cheating but really following) and you can even adjust fat and all that to suit your needs... as long as you are under in calories and trying to chose foods with some color... and you don't have to…

Luard Jesus Thers a Faarr!

Me to!!!!! I hate that. A year and a half ago I dropped 50 pounds and then the holidays hit and I gained 30 back. I have spent the past six months regretting the slip and trying to "get back on it" I find that I am having a lot of trouble staying motivated... not sure why And I am sometimes thinking about what a waste of…

I'm just wondering how successful your marriage is.

This!! I have been married 5 years (can't wait for 17) and honestly there is so much more give and take than "what makes you happy is all that matters". If that is the way you think, you may as well plan to be single in the end. I'm sorry you are having a hard time with each other, but instead of sticking it to him like an…

I LOVE chewing on ice. My husband gives me a hard time for rating dining experiences based on their quality of chewable ice. As a matter of fact I am wanting to right now... hmm

For someone who recently had the surgery done you are looking really good in the diary. There is always room for improvement of course but my dad had this surgery and it was EXTREMELY hard on his body. As a matter of fact, in order to reach the proper amount of protein, he had to go to GNC a lot and drink a ton of protein…

1. Contacts! I always thought my glasses helped take people's eyes off of my disgusting chin. I hate my chin. But when I hit my goal I shouldn't have to worry about that anymore!! 2. Long hairstyle... I know that shoulder length hair helps make my face look more attractive since I'm so heavy, I'm totally thinking huge…

LOL too true

I experience something similar. Or at least my father in law makes comments on how attractive certain slender people are, then makes repeated comments about how fat and disgusting others are. Being around, knowing that I look like the person he is making a joke out of, makes me want to keep this to myself too. Anyway, it…

Personally... I don't like "sneaking" veggies so I make sure to include my kids in every process such as choosing the veggie, cooking it, and raving over my amazing delicious brussel sprouts (which I do seriously absolutely love) HOWEVER if you are interested and sneaking and have no issue with it, I own this book:…

THANK you. I couldn't remember what it was and now I do. I use this basically all the time and purposefully go over calories sometimes too. "Cheat day" "Craving Day" whatever you call it.. it works. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm Try that.

http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/weight-loss/calorie-shifting.asp I don't necessarily believe everything on here... I just looked it up for the chart really. But this might help shed some light. I have heard it called something else but I can't remember.

my son calls it chick-a-fe :)

I'm feeling similarly but I think I'm pregnant.:flowerforyou:

luckily I incorporate most of my craving foods or take a break from counting calories every once in a while so I don't have such intense desires.

One time I got sick and went to a walk-in clinic. When I was touching base with the doctor about what was wrong she told me they had my weight wrong and I had to argue that I really was as heavy as the scale said I was lol

a ring :heart:

For the past few days we had left over birthday cake that was going to waste if we didn't eat it. Only three moderately sized pieces left all alone in their lonely box! My fat was calling me from deep within. "Cake..... cake.... cake.... cake...." like a heartbeat of torture within me. Twice on Saturday night I went to the…

I had cake tonight and it was still within my calories :)

My husband and I will go on a nice vacation :) I get a massage and the wardrobe change is a nice bonus :D

THIS!!! Always listen to the person with the most success.

PCOS here and on metformin. I'm only on metformin again after a 4 year gap... but before I lost 100 pounds with its help so I'm looking to repeat that. Friend me if you like.

If you really want a good example of how much weight fluctuates... try weighing yourself once every five or so hours for one day... if it is anything like mine you can be a pound lower from the previous day in the morning, then 4 pounds higher in the evening.
