You Don't Know Jack! Yes I am going to vent...
I understand at this point that I must have some sick attraction to a train wreck because for some insane reason I continue to read the forums....No matter how it upsets me. I have never seen so many EXPERTS in my life STRUGGLE WITH WEIGHT ISSUES! We all have a journey and I know it is shocking but we are not stupid...I am…
Thought of the day!
Accomplishment is not about getting things for nothing, it is about earning them. Love is not about getting a free ride from judgment it is about giving yourself freely and accepting them in return. Getting ahead is not about expectation it is about working towards a goal. Communication is not about reading ones mind it is…
You Can Do It!
It was not until I started working on losing weight that my life felt out of control. I used to believe that anything was possible and that no matter what was going on in our lives, no matter what obstacle we face. it would not exist if we were not meant to learn something from it. That god, the Universe, or flying…
Weightless in Water Challenge........With a lot to loose.
This may or may not interest you. Being the size I have been for many years, one of my favorite places is water. Not just because it is my element but because I feel weight less in water. No different than anyone else. Being originally 410 pounds and now 250 I have discovered that water is the best place for me to work…
It is a personal Journey...Weight loss and life change....A
I am in a couple of groups and love it...I have noticed, we have all noticed that there is a lot of negativity here and well everywhere. I have also noticed that a lot of people really do not want to share how they have succeeded. To each their own, but I know I am not interested in the weight loss drama. I am looking to…
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything a
We get so caught up in our drama's that we can't see the past our own heads to get to the end goal. I thought I lived drama free, and I have discovered none of us do. For some drama is how you cope, what you create so that you have something to work on. Something to fix. For others, like myself, it is the old tapes. The…
Long post, but great intention...Believe in yourself and you

We did this..
Sometimes trying to figure out what to do in order to "feel better" "Get thinner" and have the "body" we want can be hard. Here is the hard cold reality. We gain weight from eating too much of the wrong thing. Heck you can gain weight from eating too much of the right thing or not eating enough . Either way we got…
Calorie count....waterproof and mp3 player, HELP!
I am looking for a calorie counter that is waterproof and not a watch, because I fry those...and a waterproof mp3 player..Anyone know of any good ones????? PLEASE HELP!
Even fat people can make money selling weight loss!
Every where you look and every person you speak too has an opinion or a "proof" of what works and what doesn't work. Just like everyone has a judgement about something. It has gotten so bad that we even listen to people still overweight. People who have only lost a couple of pounds become experts. (No judgement on your…
Support means supportive right? Maybe not.
So I have been sitting here for the last couple of hours reading posts. Some amazing...93 pounds in five months wow. You should be so proud. Some really not nice...Almost hurtful, and it brought me to a misunderstanding. I get that we are all different, from different backgrounds. Have different goals, but a friend of mine…
Blue sky's nothing but blue sky's.
Oh what a glorious morning. As much as I am looking so forward to not seeing any more white anywhere on the ground ever again, or at least for the next 6-7 months. (So much so I am seriously contemplating removing all white from my wardrobe, house, even my kids closets) I am so tired of the color. I do have to admit, when…
It's all fun and games till someone dies! The obese tragedy.
There should be two types of weight loss out there. Oh wait, there is. There is the 50 pounds and under weight loss and then their is the morbidly obese. I know that I am going upset some people, especially the first category with what I have to say, but what can one do when they are stuck in a shoe, follow you and fail or…
Figments of our imagination.
There seems to be a huge part on these blogs about failing, not eating right, didn't do it right today. What is wrong with me that I love chocolate. Etc etc.... Everything is mind over matter, it really it...What we believe, and that includes hunger, or need for food. Yes we need nutrients, but our fat has nutrients too..…
If we believe we achieve.
One of the things that I am loving about having too loose weight is the learning. I know to some that may sound insane but the reality is not only bad memories come from my extra unwanted pounds. In truth aside from the abusive marriage in my past I had many a happy moment in my fat bliss. Many amazing family suppers, hand…
It has taken me a bit to figure this out..
I have heard from trainers, and fitness orientated people that exercise is no pain no gain. I am not going to lie, I got fat with that theory. We all did. We did not get fat by just eating too much we got fat by eating so much our stomach's hurt. Our bodies ached. Most of us over 300 pounds could tell a fit person what…
Turning a corner...
I am quite proud of myself that this moment in time...I got up early because I could not sleep and well lets just say I am not a morning person. I was looking on the local pool page so that I could find out when I could go for a swim tonight after my work and there was a aquafit taking place within 35 minutes. Well…
For the first time in my life I am going to succeed at this.
I have succeeded at almost everything I have set out to do in the last 20 years. I say almost because being fat has been the one thing I have not been able to do. Up until a few months ago I believed that I had no willpower and no ability to change what I had created, A 410 pound smoking woman who would drink 10 extra…
