Lady Magenta *Update* I am no longer lonely here, now I feel I belong
I have lost 30 lbs in 75 days. The scale showed 318 lbs today in the morning. I started at 348 in September. :) I don't even know if weight loss is the most important achievement right now. So much has changed. It seems it finally 'clicked', and I am in command of the food I eat. Perhaps I finally understood that food is…

Well, Oprah, thanks but "No" (Update Lady Magenta now 25 lbs)
I was wondering when someone would notice my weight loss. Even for a big lady like me, 25 lbs is a lot. I can feel it. I have left the 5x tunic blouse behind and I am now wearing a very loose 4x tunic soon to be replaced with a 3 X. I know, most of you can gratefully not relate and I hope you will never get that big.

I am heavily overweight (325 lbs) but down 23 lbs from where I started not even two months ago. Someone asked me if I work out today at a different thread. I know I need to but where do I start and is what I have planned even realistic? When I call it "Workout for whales" I don't mean it disrespectful and I don't try to be…

Want to join me on my journey to lose over 100 pounds without weight loss medication?
I am a 60-year-old female and for the life of me, I don't know how this happened. Did time fly? I am only 40 in my mind? I feel much younger and want to be active again. However, due to a chronic pain disease, I stopped moving around and started an almost sedentary lifestyle. I have taken Prednisone for 10 years which made…
