Introductions!
So as we grow I thought it would be really need to have our members make a short (or lengthy if you prefer) introductory post. It's a great way to see where we are all at and where we would like to go. :) I'll go first. I'm Tin, 27 years old. I've gone from 352 pounds to 215 pounds, and my final goal is 170. I'm an amazon…

37 pounds to go out of 180! Halfway with MFP.
So everyone, now that the holidays have calmed down and I'm sure the Christmas cookies aren't going to shoot me up to my original weight, I thought it would be nice to post some before and afters. Honestly...I need some motivation too... so this is shameless. Lol. Here's at about 350 pounds: Then right around 280: Now,…

100 Days on MFP With new Afters. :) 31 pounds down.
So I thought I'd do a little celebrating tonight. I hit 100 days. :D I also took a picture today with my mother and I actually didn't think I looked horrible. Lol. One of the 'Oh my Goodness I have a chin that goes to my chest....kind of picture. I apologize, I don't say that to be mean...I'm socially retarded and have a…

I want Gold's Gym reviews!
So I don't knock planet fitness at all, and without it I wouldn't be where I am today, but I feel as if I've outgrown it. I'm bored doing the same things and standing in line behind rude people if you try to use the free weights. I found a gold's gym, and it's only 7$ a month more than what I was paying. I'm trying to get…

Posting some General Advice for my Friends. :)
I got a lot of requests with questions so I just decided to make it a post....:) I am not a doctor or a trainer, just someone who has invested a lot of time in learning about food.:flowerforyou: What calorie amount should I eat per day? Ok, for this one ...there is no real answer. While it's true that for everyone, moving…

Need some help...(Weight training.)
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me learn about weight lifting. I'm currently doing the machines at the gym, but I don't feel...accomplished. I mean it hurts cause I do a pyramid ...(Ex: 15 reps at 30 pounds, ten at 40 and ten at 50) but I think the free weights would do better for me. Of course I have to…

Cardio NSV, yah I'm excited.
So...I used to be unable to go up a flight of stairs. For some reason it never seemed to be that big of a deal when I was 370, thinking about it today will make me cry. (I can't explain the madness.) Well when I started working out alone I would do two miles in about 45 minutes... Today I got done with my miles at 32…

My story. (Some humor included.)
Ok so there was a post asking to hear people's stories. Apparently it's gone...Wouldn't you know I ended my post with 'I hope this board never crashes because I never want to type all of that again.'? So. I'm going to post my story here...LOL. Warning, it's a mouthful. " My story was very slow for a very long time. I've…

NSV- I'm not in the plus size section?
So tonight my stupid car ripped my pants on my lunch break... I went to walmart and (I love danskin) tried on a pair of 16/18s and they fit! It was awesome because that's going from a size 24/26 to a 16/18 :p I kept walking around...because I need a new jacket...then I realized something. I wasn't in the plus size…

Dunno what's up with me tonight...
I'm feeling very ...apathetic. I do have Borderline Personality Disorder...it might just be another fit coming on. I've been kinda upset since a conversation with a friend yesterday...went along the lines of 'Just think! When you loose all your weight you can get a tummy tuck and look completely normal.' Really? I've lost…

PCOS frusterations...
So...yes, I'm getting healthier... yay. Unfortunately for the first time in my life I'm getting full fledged periods and it fricken HURTS. This morning I just curled into the fetal position and threw up in my trash can. Sitting here at work I'm dizzy, flushed, got a headache that will not let up (2 alieve and 4 ibprofin…

More than halfway! (120 pounds down)
I was supposed to do this post when I got halfway to goal...... in getting really focused on my health I kind of missed it. ^_^() So I'll get the numbers out there first because I've redone them three times...They don't seem right. Anyway... SW: 375lbs. CW: 250lbs GW: 170lbs Starting size: 5X shirts, ...uhm...stretchy…

Ugh...help.
So if you look at my food diary.... It's the end of the night and I want to get in about 300 more calories...but I'm really not hungry. My one friend suggested getting a fast food burger...but ...but... -_- Anyone have a moderately high calorie, yet not full of fat an stuff? I can't eat anymore vegetables today...they were…

Mental Disorder? Try Disorders. :p
Hey guys, I'm Tin...I have a lot of things going on in my head that make weight loss difficult. I have borderline personality disorder, which has resulted in literally no self esteem. I've also been obese my entire life. This is really the first time that I haven't defeated myself already. The changes have been slow but…

Having a hard time getting my calories.
So this might be long winded, and for that I apologize... Also the last few days I have been in some threads with people who are very rude and 'You're stupid how could you not know that.' Please leave the negativity at the door... I'm finding that with the more I get into fitness, the more I'm becoming afraid of eating.…

NSV, my first real one.
So I'm having a pretty good day so far... I've given up one of my vices and instead spent the money on clothes and found that I'm an 18/20. :) I was a 24 in February ...and it feels really nice to just be able to go to walmart and get some clothes. I have PCOS and Diabetes so all my weight centralizes to my stomach, I know…

Too much protein?
Is there such a thing? I've been going over on my protein and if dieting has taught me anything, it's that you can have too much of anything.

Looking for like minded friends to add.
Hey guys, So I'm Tin...I just joined the site yesterday...a week ago I was 260.8 and this morning I was 258.2. I really love the site and I've already met some great people on here. I really need to meet people who work way too much, don't have any space to work out in and still make it work. I'm 26, but the age isn't…

Looking for other Health Minded People. :)
Hello, My name is Tin, and I'm new to the site (loving it by the way.) I've been on a weight loss journey for a looooong time, but I've hit a rock and I'm hoping that by buckling down even more I can get the last 70 pounds I want off. I started at 375, down to 250, looking to be 170. Most people now a days I see ...eat out…
