Abusive ex manipulated my scale and my heart is breaking...
No this isn't the typical "They eat food around me and I don't have willpower" thing. I'm a woman who dated another girl for 3 years. It was nice at first but then became extremely physically, financially and emotionally abusive. The stress over that time made me gain sixty pounds. I finally kicked her out of my place (she…

Cramping problems
So I used to be an athlete and I've been getting back into shape. I'm taking it slow by just taking a walk around my neighborhood and I will gradually work up in speed. However, ten minutes into the walk the outer sides of my calves start to cramp. It does that nowhere else and I keep going because usually on the walk back…

Two NSVs in one day!
At work we have always had IDs but only recently are we required to use them to check out for lunch. So I pulled that forgotten card from my wallet and I didn't recognize myself! So much weight was lost from my face and I naturally look happier. And just the night before I was saying that I don't look any different, but it…

Tattoos and weight loss
So there is a meaningful tattoo that I have been wanting for a long time now on the side of my calf. I always planned to get it on my 25th birthday (this april), but now I'm starting to second guess how it will turn out. When in your weight loss journey is it ok to get a tattoo? I'm really worried about getting this large…

Advice about siblings and coming out
I came out to my older brother and he was fine with it. My partner and I have been together for 3 years and this week we came out to my partner's little brother (18 yrs old) who has been very close to me that he even called me "other big sister." While he supports LGBT, he won't stop crying and going through the stages of…

So much energy I'm bouncing off the walls!

I haven't been like this since I played sports in college and high school. Any of you been feeling like this after loosing weight? I don't know how to contain myself from running around…

Kings Island NSV
My favorite ride is The Beast and it has always been a tight squeeze. Usually I can fit but it's uncomfortable and the ride attendant has to push down on the bar. Today I did not need any help with the bar and I actually could slide around in my seat. Loosing from my butt and stomach has made it the best ride ever!

First goal accomplished :)
This probably sounds silly, but when I let depression take over my weight gain I did not have the heart to buy new jeans. I found myself not fitting until even my previous "baggy" jeans would not button. I felt so ashamed and just ended up wearing sweats and buying new dress pants for work. Idk, I guess buying bigger jeans…

Question for women about that time of the month
So I've been on this weight loss journey for a bit over a month. Everything is going well and I feel much better. However, I noticed that I haven't gotten my period so it's either going to be late or skip this month. This is odd because my period is always regular and only skipped twice in the 12 years I've been having…
