I finally hit the 160s (pic heavy)

Today I hit a massive milestone. I am finally in the 160s. I can't remember a time in my life (since I started weighing myself) that I…

I like big butts and I cannot lie.
I haven't posted here for a while as I am still not at my goal but I am still down about 140 pounds after 7 years and yet my butt is still HUGE, and you know what? I am finally learning to love it. Can't wait to hit my goal even the though the butt will still be huge. Who else loves their thick butt, thighs, arms even if…

Epiphany Moment
When was yours? I realised I needed to lose weight after a comment from our very obese courier. My partner is very lean and the courier was like you don't need to watch what you eat, unlike us big people (meaning him and I). I was shocked that he lumped himself and I in the same category as he is really really large,…

Hunger
This is a really random question but it has been bugging me all day. So people say to only eat when you are hungry. But I know that if you are thirsty then it means that your body is dehydrated and you have left having a drink to long. Is it the same for hunger? I have no real need to know this apart from being curious.

Pedometer
HIya I remembered I had a pedometer so today I have been wearing it. It shows how many cals you have burned and steps. What I was wonderful is, how much of those cals do you count as extra? I have my MFP setting at sedentary but I think it should probably be on lightly active but I thought I would just count steps instead…

Meal replacement
Anyone have any advice on meal replacements? I want to get more protein in my diet and less carbs.

I have been trying to research but I am clueless. I also don't eat…
