Like many others in this forum I had been thinking about losing weight for a long time. I hadn't weighed myself in literally years but knew I didn't feel good about myself or really feel healthy. I finally decided to weigh and saw the display say ERR. I tried another scale the following week(the old type with the bar that…

I'm a member of the same group that trhjrh06 is a part of and have been since last July. They're truly amazing and supportive. I would definitely recommend joining it.

I knew an elderly person who had been a cannibal their entire lives until she got sick. The doctor told her that she would have to go on a liquid diet. After telling the doctor what her diet consisted of she asked what her diet would be like when she started eating the new way. The doctor told her, "Urine for a big…

Right now I would say weight since I'm at 285 lbs BUT when I get down to 220 or lower then the physique will become more of a priority.

I'm doing c25k and I'm at 284 pounds and at week 5 day 2. Don't hesitate to redo days 1 2 or 3 or more times. I wouldn't have been able to get this far in the program without repeating days and I wouldn't have been able to run in a charity benefit mile run without it. Yeah it was only a mile but I couldn't run down to the…

I wanted a calorie counter on my phone and started using it then decided to check out the associated website and the rest is 56 pounds lighter,

I work on a computer helpdesk and I swear I have a sign pinned on me that says "Idiot Crossing". BTW My astrological sign is Scorpio.

I'm actually sorry I went off the way I did as well. Let's have a hugfest! :drinker:

This website is for fat skinny not so fat and not so skinny people. We all have some kind of goal. If you see things you don't like or have friends in your friends list that aren't geared toward your own goals then get rid of them. Your experience here is up to you. Enjoy your time here and decide for yourself what you…

I'm on week 5 day 2 and plan on repeating that day a few times before doing day 3. Running for 20 minutes non stop is a little intimidating. Anyway I saw someone ask if anyone had knee problems and YES I DO! I was in a car wreck as a child and shattered my knee and the growth plate which later required surgeries on both…

To have a waist size less than 40 inches. To run a 5k without feeling like I'm dying. Not sure if this qualifies but; To be able to say that I'm comfortable with my weight and I'm just toning everything up.

This pretty much fits everything I've had a hard time with in losing weight so I keep it on my profile: Don't give up, don't give in. Give All!!

Here's my top(or bottom) 3 movies of all time. Twilight Twilight AND Twilight I refuse to watch them and I refuse to read the books. Anyone who writes that the canteen(I think) sloshed wetly is not a good writer and should have to pay back all of the money spent on their books. BTW How the heck else is something supposed…

Came across this forum by accident. Would using things like protein shakes and powders be beneficial to both increase calorie intake and aid in muscle support. Just asking.

You seriously remind me of one of the girls that I took boot camp at the gym with. She was the smallest one in the class. Later I found that she had lost 150 pounds. You're awesome!

Yes mines me! It's a before and after weight loss shot. MAN I really shrunk during this time, and I look a lot like my son having a great time with me at a basketball game;)

I switch mine up all the time too but my tracks currently consist of AC\DC, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, God Smack and Disturbed. Thunderstruck By AC\DC gets me going hard for my c25k warm ups.

I favorite is: I thought one day that if we had ham then we could have ham and eggs...If we had eggs.

I actually binged last night as well and I plan on drinking tons of water and working out tonight. Like everyone here has said just pick yourself up dust yourself off learn from your mistakes and move on. You've lost 42 pounds and I've lost 50. I'm sure that we'll still binge eat when we get to 70 pounds lost as well but…

To quote a well known fitness trainers book, "I hate working out but it makes me feel so much better afterward." I completely understand what you're going through. I have a hard time getting my butt to the treadmill to walk most days and it's only a short walk downstairs in my basement. I just finally tell myself; "go get…

I have a sportline hrm w\ chest strap and I agree with the posts above. The only problem I have with it is the strap tends to slip during workouts if you're doing any kind of quick movements or running. It still reads after slipping though but its a little bit of a hassle adjusting it when it does.

I was depressed and bored and a little lonely and I was coming home from work. I knew I had supper waiting for me at home but I stopped at kfc and mcdonalds. I ate a 2 chicken breast meal, potato wedges, 2 biscuits, cole slaw, a big mac, an ice cream cone and drank the large coke, THEN went home and ate 4 slices of the…

Smoke a half pack of cigarettes and put 2 pieces of scotch tape around them. Write down on a piece of regular paper why you want to quit and be brutally honest with yourself. Wrap that pack with the paper that you wrote and put another piece of scotch tape around it. Keep that pack with you at all times and put a round of…

I've started cutting friends and denying friend requests recently because I don't have time to respond either(and I only have 48). Life happens. You can only stretch yourself so far. I think you're fine.

I am 6'1" and wear a size 9 shoe on my left foot. I also wear a size 11 1/2 shoe on my right foot. I usually just buy tie shoes and get the 11 1/2 and tie them a certain way so the shoes don't fall off of the small foot.

@netsirk12: Yeah we haven't had a good relationship for a while and my brother always picks at me about being fat and ugly and that he's the better looking one(even though he's nasty looking, smells bad and extremely unhealthy looking and no I don't bring those things up to him because I don't want to sink to his level)…

My wife and I went to wedding and we were getting ready to go to our car. My brother and I were talking and joking about the buffet they were having there and he said "I bet they're gonna be scared when you get there and see your fat *kitten* walk up with a plate." He didn't just say it quietly. He said it in front of…
