Just watched Skin Tight... Completely freaking out now!
OK, the show Skin Tight on TLC has me terrified. Just saw my first episode. I plan to lose a total of 186-190 pounds. I know my skin is stretched and it will likely never have that tight, toned skin of days gone by. But does EVERYONE who loses this amount of weight end up with draping, floor dragging skin? I'm sure skin…

I'm so happy to have found this group!
I'm so happy to have found this group! My name is Sonya and I'm 41 years old. I found and joined MFP Jan 6 of this year. I'm currently down 31 pounds since then. I have had a real struggle with binge eating for the last 20 or so years. I've NEVER had anyone I could admit this to. I eat out of control when I'm alone (first…

Staitionary Recumbent Bike
I'm fairly new. 56 days in. I started at 331lbs and am currently 303.6 so 27lbs down due to strict food weighing and logging. I don't exercise. I work 50hrs a week on my feet and I'm completely worn out lugging this weight around by the time I get home. Plus I have a "bad" ankle (I believe it's weight related) as doctors…

Is this true?

Carbs.... Do I really need that many?
I'm finding it very hard most days to reach my carbs goal. A lot of days I don't even reach half. I'm not a big carb person and now that I've cut out soda and RedBull I usually don't come close. Even though I eat quite a bit of fresh fruit. I don't have much trouble with Protein and fat though, lol. My macros are set at…

Changing daily activity level
I was a little confused about my activity level. I originally chose lightly active due to my job. I'm a restaurant manager and am on my feet 40-50 hours a week. I've lost 13lbs in 3 weeks doing it that way. But on my 2.5 days off I'm most definitely sedentary. So I started changing my activity level based on my work…

6664mg of sodium
I'm fairly new here. 3 weeks in. I started at 331 pounds and am now at 317. MFP tells me to stay at 2020 calories a day to lose 2 pounds a week. I usually consume around 1700ish. I love salty, spicy, sour foods. Olives, peppers, pickles, etc. I've been staying away from fast food for the most part except for Subway. I only…
