I'M TURNING INTO EEYORE!!!!!!!
The last couple weeks I just cannot get my *kitten* together! Every day is getting me down and I'm moping around like a f*cking baby. I've been bobbing between the same 2 pounds for weeks now and cannot seem to kick my own *kitten* into puching through. I just feel like I'm failing at everything!!!!!!!!!!! End eeyore-esq…

Planning Trip - new goals - assessing failure
My boyfriend recently told me he's never had a real spring break (college style :drinker: ) so I told him I'd take him to the beach for a week. I booked the hotel and we'll be going at the end of march - that's less than 16 weeks away. I want to use this trip as motivation, to keep up my journey and be looking my best for…

A topic on NOT weighing in
So my first BIG goal was to get back into the 100's (that also puts me at just about my half way point). At this morning's weigh in I came in at 201.4 (starting at roughly 240) . I'm thinking of challenging myself to NOT weigh myself again until Christmas - take a month away from scale obsessing and seeing if I can…

Dimples!!!!!!!!!!
MY NSV of the week - I've finally lost enough weight that my face is getting beautiful again, my cheek bones are back AND I'm thin enought hat my dimples show again! Oh dimples, how I've missed you!

Fat Fat VS Fit Fat!
SO maybe this is just my preception because I'm so used to looking at my ridiculously overweight body (I'm still over weight but not to the YOU WEIGHT HOW MUCH?!?!?!?! point anymore) But does anyone else think a body looks so much thinner when you're over weight but working out and getting healthy? My current weight is 203…

What to do now?!?!?!?!?!
So last night my car got broken into and ALL my workout close and my running shoes were stolen. I'd love to be able to replace them, but I'm a broken college student so that'll take a while (so angry, brand new $100 running shoes that I had to save FOREVER for!). I honestly don't have any alternative clothes to work out in…

What body type do I have? (pics)
So I know this may sound like a silly question but I can't figure out what body shape category I fall into. Part of me wants to say hour glass but my waist isn't 10 inched smaller than my hips&bust and that's typically how I hear it described, and another part thinks I'm a pear because I got a whole lotta junk in my trunk.…

Wowza!!!!!!! PICTURES

Anyways, I was just posting a topic, adding in pictures, and while going through my photos I really got to see how much I've lost!!!!! I'm about half way through my journey and have only just begun noticing a difference. I'm feeling…

I am beautiful
I am beautiful. There I said it! And I don't regret it! I am beautiful, and sexy, and empowered, and hot. I am curvy, supple breasts, swaying hips, lusciously soft and alluring. My body is everything it means to be a woman. It is maternal and loving. It is comforting and warm. It is the body of a mother, of a lover, of a…

WoooooooHoooooooo
So for the last month and a half I've been fighting through some real frustrations in terms of my weight loss. Though the the scale has been ticking down slowly (about 1 pound a week) I've been frustrated feeling like I can't actually see a difference. About a week ago that changed, and I felt, as if by magic, my body had…

Afraid to go shopping
So this sunday is birthday. I really want to go jean shopping and buy myself a pair. My 18's are falling off of me, but I'm legitimately scared to go shopping just to find I haven't actually dropped to a 16 yet. I'm neurotic enough to spend the past half hour looking up average hip measurements for a size 16.....I seem to…

He thinks I'm going to cheat!!!!!
So I'm a little mildly and yet completely fuming tonight. Tomorrow night I was invited to a party that I've been looking forward to. When My first couple years of high school I was a big party goer but gave it up when I started dating my boyfriend because he disapproved so much. Now, four years down the road I have a…

I keep hitting one plateau after another!!!!!
So I am aware that one’s body adapts to whatever we’re putting it through and in my case, where I had about 80 pounds to lose, I expected to have the occasional scale stick. However, I seem to be hitting a plateau about every 5 pounds. I have managed to drop about 30lbs so far (some of which before joining here). Is it…

HALLOWEEN COSTUME NSV
So I love sewing, but in the last couple years stopped making things for myself because I had reached a nice that did not fit into any patterns :( However, with Halloween fast approaching I was getting requests from some people to make costumes and realized while meandering through patterns that I can fit the patterns…

HE NOTICED!!!!!!! NSV!!!!!!!!!
So about a week ago when I weighed in it occurred to me that I had lost 30 pounds, which struck me with great surprise. This surprise and pride was quickly murdered when I ran to tell my SO how much I'd lost, he looked me up and down and asked, "From where?" Jerk! (no, I really love him but :grumble: :huh: :grumble: )…

He's reached an adult age where some very scary mental illnesses begin to become evident. We've spent some time talking to his doctor about this. He despises the…

Dressing revealing & Self Respect
Just something I've been thinking about a lot lately - I've heard some variation of this hundreds of times in my life, that covering up shows respect for yourself. I firmly don't believe that for a second. I love my body and my sexuality and I like the way I dress. I'm not even sure I understand the argument being made in…

Dance work out videos?
So on top of make healthy eating choices I've also been working out - doing lots of running and walking, along with some strength training. But i'm looking for something more interesting and fun to add to these - and i was thinking a DVD dance exercise video would be fun. Anyone out there have much success this way or have…

Too sick to eat?

Scared - please help
Though the last 6 months of my life have been dedicated to getting healthy, I do have a past muddled by anorexia. I thought I was in a good head space to take on this journey, but now I'm starting to have unhealthy thoughts and it scares me. In example - this morning I was ecstatic after weighing in and seeing some big…

Can Big Girls be Sexy Too?
So I'm 5'5" and my goal weight is in the lower 160's (Currently at about 213 - i've lost about 27 pounds so far). At that weight I wear about a size 12, depending on the brand, have about a DD cup, and altogether feel sexy and fabulous. I've been thinner than that and never liked it. No hate towards thin women what so ever…

So its almost 9 at night and I have over 1100 calories left to eat today......and I have not worked out yet. What should I do? EDIT: I really appreciate everyone looking at my diary, before you do, a side note - my kitchen is under a full remodel, no appliances, or even a counter top to prepare food on. I hate all the…

Taking a day off
Yesterday I took the day off. I ate what I wanted, I didn't exercise, and I didn't feel bad about it (though surprisingly I stayed with in my calorie goal so that probably helped curve the potential shame)....but guess what, the world didn't end, the sun still rose, and today I went back to caring. THE REASON I'M BOTHERING…

Plateau blues............
I've been trying to deny it but now that I'm rounding out a solid month of no loss I have to admit I've hit a plateau....... I will admit, the last few weeks have not been the best for me, but I stay at or under my calorie goal and work out almost every day. I'll admit that my daily caloric intake is above 1200 - I usually…

"Your @$$ looks AMAZING" NSV
So I just recently got two new pairs of jeans (size 18, down from a 20, woop WOOP) and wore my favorite of the two to work today. At my break, I was ever so slightly bending over, getting something from a drawer when another woman came up behind me saying, "Those jeans are so cute!" I smiled and thanked her, and then in a…
