  • just about any junk food known to man. I love cookies, ice cream, snack cakes, donuts. Been trying to limit myself on those things, its hard but I'm managing.
  • While I have to agree, my guinea pigs LOVE kale, so theyd probably be upsent :lol:
  • I've been diagnosed for the first time ever in my life with hypertension, and I'm pretty sure at my last physical my annual bloodwork was borderline prediabetic. I've been back and forth trying to rule out a thyroid problem for months, but I think we have officially determined that's not the problem (though I will likely…
  • i know things are tight right now, but if you do end up with even $20 extra, walmart has some very affordable scales, i think as low as 15 honestly, but its been a while since I looked. Until then, you can always take measurements, or if you dont have a tape measure, pictures is honestly going to be your best bet, but can…
  • honestly, the Avia Brand workout leggings at walmart. got a couple pairs (WITH POCKETS!) for $16 a piece and founda few on clearance for $5 a few times. The fit great, and most designs are pretty slimming and I'm a big girl.
  • ^ get a new scale. that is my first suggestion. it seems like your error is there. I have a cheap(ish) one from walmart a family member got me some time ago now, but it still works great. I keep it in my kitchen which is a little weird I know but our bathroom is too small, and there is no where else in the house with solid…
  • drink at least ONE of my containers of water (its 64 oz). I have really been struggling with my water intake (my liquid intake in general if I'm being honest). I'd like to aim for at least 2-2.5 if i'm trying to stick to the whole half your body weight in ounces rule of thumb, but I think powering through one right now is…
  • I love this! Right now, I'm currently using RingFit Adventure, put out for the Nintendo Switch in October I believe, and it's basically this. You play through the levels, beating small little enemies (some of them are kind tough tbh) that are shaped like Kettlebells and dumbbells. Then at the end of each "world" there is a…
  • Getting past 310 currently. I was 314.7 when I weighed a few days ago. My fiance also just bought me Ring Fit Adventure (I have social anxiety and I'm poor currently so a gym membership just isn't in the cards). Hoping that helps! We can hit our goals!
  • I weigh semi-daily (usually every couple of days). I don't generally stress about it unless its gone up a pretty significant number, which hasn't been an issue in a little while. I just like to see how things i eat on different days effects my weight. Like, I still have fast food from time to time (shame shame, I know), so…
  • ^ if you were to look at my MFP graph of my weight fluctations it looks almost identical to this. Weight loss isn't linear (especially for us women), so anytime I see the scale goes up, even if its a little, I think of the small things I may or may not have done to cause that fluctuation. I also focus on how my clothes are…
  • Current NSV as of this morning. My one pair of jeans that I fit into are getting too big. There's about an inch now that I can pull away from me, where as they used to be pretty darn snug. I can also sit down in them (They're "high waisted") comfortably now without unbuttoning them! My first NSV at around 7 or so lbs down…
  • I guess I really had a couple hings that kind of made me start this time with the desire to really stick to it. The first being my overall health (mental/physical/emotional). I'm finding that the heavier I get the more my depression seems to bother me. I also have been having pretty painful hip and knee issues for the last…
  • Yes, it's supposed to be an appetite suppressant. Granted the way its been described to me its basically legalized speed....which makes me feel ways, but hey, whatever it seems to be doing its job for now I guess. Also, yes I am still logging my foods and eating at a deficit. Some days its more of a deficit than others,…
  • haha I wish it worked for mine. He's stubborn and hard headed :tongue: but I love him. I'm the same way though. It's just our process. I know its a lot, and I'm not going to be devastated if I don't get to exactly there cause we all have good and bad days. Especially at the beginning here. (Let's not talk about my last two…
  • Hi, I'm Brittany! Currently I am 27 years old, I weigh 322.2lbs as of this morning. I started at 334 in April and wasn't fully on board. After getting sick for two weeks straight (kidney infection followed right by strep), I got down to 327. I decided enough was enough and went to my doctor to see what he thought. He very…
  • I started (again) at 334 in beginning to mid april. I got down to about 331 by may and just sort of....stayed there. wasn't super strict on logging or watching what I ate and I literally never exercised. Got mega sick mid June with a kidney infection. Once that was cleared up I had strep throat. Needless to say I didn't…
  • FIRST OF ALL.... just because you are "fat" doesn't mean you aren't beautiful. I HATE when people say "you're not fat, you're beautiful!" like can i not be both? Yes, I can in fact be both. So can anyone else struggling with their weight. Secondly, I get the whole hating yourself and only seeing your flaws. I am the same…
  • use an air fryer. don't need very much oil if any at all, and i have one that can fry/roast/reheat/dehydrate, was like $90 at walmart. my wonderful fiance got it for me for valentines day bc ive been asking for one for a while now. He loves it more than me I think. I sometimes use it make our meats in (main chicken or…
  • so after your 30 day free trial, why dont you just cancel premium. its basically the same thing, but more customizable which I wouldn't ever use. I tried it once just to see the differences, and cancelled before it renewed.
  • Started at 334 months ago (around April), wasn't super serious about it but getting more into it. Down to 323.1 currently.... first mini goal for me is to be under 300, preferably by the end of august but won't be devastated if it takes a little longer, as its mid july right now.
  • i can put on and take off my engagement ring without having to put lotion on first! its amazing that barely 10 lbs made this possible.
  • love this thread! started at 334 in april, got down to 331-333, fluctated there til I decided to get serious. Asked my doc what I could do, he wants me on phentermine, which i can't afford and am not interested in taking. Started 2 weeks ago, after being sick and getting to 327 from not eating while sick. Only lost 1lb in…
  • I was here a little over 2 years ago with a starting weight of around 280..... i did what i had to do (exercise, eat better, monitor my calories) and got down to 230ish. I was rocking my confidence, I felt better than I had in years, my depression was less bothersome, I was essentially a different person. Then I met my now…
  • You can’t spot reduce as the above person mentioned, but a couple years ago when I was serious into weight loss, I always worked planks into my routine. While this didn’t magically poof my belly fat away it definitely helped with building and muscle and feeling like it was toning up. Then I met my fiancé and have been…
  • booty burps. :D i'm totally calling them that from now on.
  • I'm well aware of how all that works. It isn't my first time, kthanks.
  • I do have a fb and will check this out. thanks!
