My own worst enemy seeks some friends.
Currently 306.6 lbs - goal 280 lbs, then onto next goal. I successfully lost about 23 pounds during the spring / summer period. Just stepped on the scale and I got it all back (well almost, 22 pounds of it). I have been telling myself I'll get it back down then go here for friends and motivation. The problem is that just…

Hello...it's confession time.
I wanted to share this but I am too timid to share elsewhere so I am sharing it here. My weight loss journey is one of the biggest priorities in my life right now. I feel like so much of my confidence is tied to how I feel about myself and how others see me. Both are not so great due to my weight. The other day as an…

After reading this... I dare you to not add me as a friend :-)
Hey Folks - Here are my top 10 reasons you should add me as your friend on here (no particular order, as all are equally awesome!). 1. I have set a goal to lose 10 lbs before the end of the month and I have about 8 to go. 2. I am a proud Wii Fit U user - we can join a team and challenge each other. 3. If you ask me nicely…

Could use some vocal friends
Just as the title says. I really appreciate the vocal comments and support, plus I love to reciprocate with them as well. Thinking about blogging too, so if anyone blogs I'd happily read theirs too. I enjoy the insights. Lastly, ladies, I am taken, but thank you for all the requests for me your trophy husband or for you to…

Underactive Thyroid Issues
I know I'm not alone out there but I don't feel like I have the knowledge / support I need. I'm eating right, working out, but my body just doesn't drop weight. I'm on Levothyroxine but it doesn't seem to be helping. My doc says my numbers look good, but I hear there's 2 numbers and not all doctors look at both? What are…

Meal Replacement Shakes / Bars? - Advice?
Hi - just checking with the group to get some feedback. I have been using Slim-Fast shakes over the last couple weeks and really enjoyed them. I make malts for a meal replacement or a snack with one scoop of powder and then lots of ice and a little milk. My wife is all good with these, but she has encouraged me to get…

Anyone else doing Wii Fit U?
I need some competition to keep me motivated. :)

I have to do this
I don't really know how many times I've done an intro and talked about getting healthier but here I am still. Not dropping the pounds, not feeling good about myself, and wanting to get better. Wanting alone isn't going to do it, so I'm just thinking I have to get back onto the horse one more time and try to make it work…

Bouncing / Jiggling
Exercising I've learned the pain of women with large breasts, when things move and bounce, they hurt! Since they don't make sports bras for me, and that's the area I need some support for anyway, does anyone have any recommendation for a workout shirt or 2 that I could / should wear in order to prevent things moving that…

The Hardest Thing
The hardest thing Is being alone with my thoughts. I'm drunk, alone, without friends (in person or online), and sitting here with an idle, unfocused mind. I know tomorrow will be a better day, but right now is tough as I wish I had some sort of comfort. I don't expect anyone to read this and care, but right now my only…

Back Again
I seem to drift away from this site easily. Maybe it's the lack of being pushed (which I need) or the "Is the person above you sexy" threads that are clogged with the same couple dozen people, or if it's just all me, but anyway I am back and committed to keeping on track this time. I'm going one step at a time, going to…

MFP is my last hope to lose 100lbs in 2014.
Okay, like everyone else, I have a story. Currently pushing between 299 and 301 depending on the day. My job keeps me really stationary and the long hours aren't helping me in the slightest. My wife needs to lose weight too, so I've been trying to motivate her to do this with me. Not much success there, but I can't force…

Soda Substitute
Okay, so when I'm at work is 60 - 80 oz of sugary beverage daily. Sometimes I feel like I need two in order to just get up and moving. It's also probably the only thing I consume at work more often than not. I need to stop it, no question there, but I'm looking for suggestions in substituting other things in so that I can…
