| HEY everyone! I am back again! I am currently 200 lbs. now and trying to stay on track. Guess what I found out, that I had a gallbladder problem and that is why I cannot eat certain foods and finally got to me after 6 yrs. It sucks but in a positive way it helps me to eat healthy or I will suffer the consequences. So I took a vaca to New York and that was so much fun and an experience! While I was there I was wanting to just let go for a bit on the diet thing but boy did I pay for it by my gallbladder. I wanted to go home or pass out, so the rest of the trip I just watched what I ate and didn't eat anymore greasy foods, but I am use to not eating greasy foods b/c I hadn't been able to eat it for the past 6-7 yrs! Take care and welcome to the newbies and also congrats to the ones that have lost 1+ lbs!. |

| Hello all.
Summer has been crazy and busy. I guess I lost 3 lbs. b/c of stress which is nice but not the right way. Anyways, how is everybody else doing? I am not eating too well, I pretty much just eat cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner. Hope to hear from you all soon! |

| Hello everyone and welcome newbies! Yeah, I have been slacking on this site. I just need some kind of motivation. I can never stick to anything, that is my problem. I can always maintain weight too, but to lose, ugh it take effort ;) that is my problem.
Anyways, I havent been eating good still since I came back from camping last weekend. I was finishing all my fave garbage food. I am just glad that I didn't gain any weight suprisingly. And mind u I don't exercise, just take care of my son and house. Have a good weekend all. |

| Hello all, I just wanted to say that I would like to be officially off the list. The reason why is because I just can't go cold turkey from things that I love and don't even over eat the junk. I just don't see this working for me is all b/c I am afraid to binge if I restrict myself and don't even feel it is necessary to do. But for thows of you that can, I congrat you. Thank you |

| hello everyone!
I am back from vacation at mt. rainier. That was so much fun and there was so much junk food. Yes, I ate more than I ever have on average and I feel soo guilty. And I also have left overs and I mean chips and crackers and stuff. I love the stuff and I told my husband that he needs to take it all away from me b/c I will snack on them. I did do some walking out there, but still nothing lost nothing gained, who knows. Glad to hear some are back from vaca and I see new ones on here I am so excited that this threade hit it off b/c once you narrow it down more then we have more encouragement w/ people we feel connected to. Anyways I hope to get back on track! |

I don't do this normally, but this past weekend I went on a candy binge, but I don't feel bad for doing it, weird huh. But I was happy that I lost weight so I did it anyways, but I did not gain any back 'phew'. |

| I know, I am sorry. Anyways, life has been crazy so I haven't been able to be on here much. Hopefully that will change. So I have been doing ok. Havent really gained, but then i havent really lost either. I just need to start exercising again.
duken- oh, that sucks my sister would sometimes get migraines and I would see her in pain I can only imagine. But that is such good strength to not eat sugar. This past weekend I went on a sugar binge, why I dont know. and I never have done that. Maybe b/c I was so happy to lose weight again. But I don't feel too bad for doing that. Oh, that reminds me I got to restart the clean challenge AGAIN. |

| Hello everyone! and once again keep it up the ones in bold. I have lost another 3 lbs. in a week, but I was sick so I didn't realize it. But I am excited. It was weird though b/c the before my last weigh in i was at 208 then the next week which was yesterday I checked and it said 198 and I went on again to make sure. then that evening I went on again and it said 205 and I went on again. The floor was level so I don't understand but all in all I lost weight.
carie87- where did you get that body profile from? I remember doing that before but it was so long ago I don't remember the site, can u please let me know or send me a message, thanks. |

| Hello all, I have lost 3 more lbs. since the last time I weighed myself which I thank to being sick (maybe lactose intolerant not sure yet). so I am about 204, but it was weird b/c when I checked this morning it said 198 and of course I double checked, and then evening i went on the scale and it saide 204 how weird is that. so I am confused, but anyways I lost weight. Stongleo and duken my doctor prescribed anti-depressants and I didn't need them, how is that right. I know I am not a depressed person and so I got off of them when the bottle was done. I think if anything I need anxiety pills b/c my hormones are still so out of wack from having a child and that is really frustrating not just for me but for my family. It just makes me cry for instant help b/c I am not myself anymore. Well, U know how it is I am sure. It is just so amazing how many of us have so much in common. It is nice to be able to narrow things down to help eachother when we can relate, kwim. |

| Hello everyone! I just wanted to say that I commend you ladies who wear bathing suits and shorts and stuff. I on the other hand cannot get myself to even think about trying on a bathing suit. I laugh when my family keeps saying how rediculous I am. But I also cry inside b/c I want to but I just feel so hideous. Anyways, I have lost 3 lb. so far 211 to 208! as of May 11, which is my last weigh in. Don't know if I lost anymore since I have totally not been eating good. I have been eating half of my calories suppose to be 1350 but only had between 638-850 calories. And I also think I am lactose intolerant and got sick everytime I ate dairy but didn't realize till 5 days later. But I am trying! Salbel- Congrats on the 1 yr anniversary, mine was one not to forget b/c it was so not what I expect and told my husband i would never let him live it down, but I look back and laugh now. That's what I get for letting him do all the "arraingments". I was going to say that I don't think I will be able to eat good today b/c I got my teeth worked on and a gum lift I have been wanting forever I am so excited and in pain from getting my cavities worked on. As I try to drink a slim fast from a straw from one side of my mouth from being overly numb, even my nose is numb. |

| So far I haven't been doing good. I haven't been eating enough, of all things! And I am over weight so don't think I am not. Today I only had about 938 calories! And I need to eat about 1350 a day (this has been going on for about a week now). I think I know what the problem is and I might be lactose now, but I love milk and it is the only thing I can think it could be. So when I eat my milk w/ cereal in the morning I just can't eat till dinner time b/c of how my stomach feels. Hmm... maybe it is a way to lose weight for me, lol. I know not healthy. Congrats to the ones that are still in the bold letters (im jealous) Anybody lactose intolerant (sp?) to explain some symptoms, thanks. |

| Motivation | Who inspires you? | May 14 2007 07:41 (UTC) |

| Good threade,
My sister and my mom inspire me. First, for a while I was smaller than them, size 12, and they are shorter than me and were size's 18. Then I had my son and we were all the same size but I lost the weight but not the size. So anyways, my sister and my mom are now slim and it took them almost a year to get where they are now. My sister is a size 6! and my mom is almost a size 9! and they are so motivated and focused and eat whatever they want, but they have this system that obviously works and is done the healthy way b/c they went to the doctor about it. So I got a ways to go. I'M SO JEALOUS! |

| I am not skinny by all means, but I have a lot of skinny friends, and I understand why they are so cautious and it doesn't bother me. Because they want to perfect what they have, maintain, or just look perfect in there eyes but in a healthy way. Maybe just get toned up and not try to lose that much weight b/c you prolly are not as bad as u think. maybe say, I want to lose this much but a particular day and if you don't get there, try to lose that 1 pound the following week and so on till you get to where you want to be.
How tall are you by the way so we have a better persective HTH |

| I am just throwing this out there b/c it helps me. Try looking at the scale once a week or once every 2 weeks. It wouldn't hurt to try. I don't have a scale so whenever I go to my moms I look at it there and just sigh or get excited and tell her and she encourages me or congratulates me. I go there maybe once every 2 weeks or so.

| Thank you for the responses. Ok, I am currently 208 and have 71 more pounds to lose to be where I want to be. Yeah, I didn't really get to eat vegetables yesterday and I try to. I didn't get to eat enough today either only had so far 638 Calories and it is 9:30 p.m. I don't know what is wrong w/ me lately with this major loss of appetite...hmm maybe something I am eating lately. This isn't normal for me, but overall I eat like I said on my post. Like FLY said my body goes into starvation mode that is what I think too. |

| Great! I always hear from people I know that it is easier in your 20's to lose weight b/c your metabolism slows a bit down 30+ yrs. I Do not want to wait till it is too late in a way that it is easier now than it will be later. Ok well, so far I have been doing alright. But I have not been typing up lately on my food log and I know we need to keep it up to know where we are. I don't have a scale, so I do not know how much I have lost since I have started which has been about a week. I will be able to check 2morrow. anybody can join at anytime. I just need people around can relate. So we are all basically on the same page. |

| Motivation | some idea to help you while eating anywhere | May 08 2007 22:56 (UTC) |

| Laura, if you were not accusing me, then I would suggest reading your own post b4 you send it through b/c you wrote it very bluntly, so how is a person to know what your expression really is. So sometimes you need to put in a little effort and add a smile or somthing. But to come out to accuse a person of having a eating disorder when u do not even know them, not very smart. Keep certain oppinions to yourself if you are not sure. And so u are also saying that everyone who is the same as me who are responding to my post have an eating disorder.. rethink what you write next time. HTH |

| Well, going w/ what sarah said, b/c if it is dry its ok. And everybody laughs at me b/c they think it is weird so I am not suprise if people are asking :). I personally do not like it at all because if my dry food touches something that is kindof wet or whatever then it gets soggy and it just doesnt taste the same.( And this is for meals not dessert.) And sometimes you get a taste that u do not want so you are just totally turned off by it. And I like to taste each food the way I like it and do not want any other food interfering. and that is a reason why do not have wet foods together either. So in that way I tend to put less food on my plate each time. Silly I know, but that is why I do not like my food touching. HTH |

| So far, I have been eating ok, but not enough fruits or vegetables and havent eaten that much b/c I think I have a stomach bug and it really sucks. and this weekend I didn't do so good, but I did work my butt of going to a club w/ my friends. And I havent been outside ever since, ugh well b/c of the way I feel. Take care! | |||

| well, I guess I am out. I ate a couple donuts this weekend. But I did so much activity I burned it all off. I recommend going dancing at a club which is what I did and we walked there so it took us about 30 min. to get there. You sure sweat so much when you keep dancing the night away and u don't even realize how much you have been dancing till the next day when u are sore. But do it w/ friends and/or spouse/significant other if you do not want others to creap up behind you like it happened to me, but I guess it was my fault for just dancing w/ one of my friends and not dancing w/ my group. | |||

| Yeah, I am the same way. I cannot eat at all when I am mad or frustrated. And if I do I feel really sick. I don't understand this b/c I do not know anybody personally like me in this way. If anything I clean or find something to do. And the thing for me is that I need to lose weight. I don't even put the weight back on which is good. One time it got so bad that I lost 6 lbs. in a week b/c of an argument I had w/ my brother. I kinda suffer from bulimia too, if u can call it that. B/c I purge every now and then. I don't even binge either.
Keep strong, I am trying to. Think of something possitive that makes u wake up every morning to help strengthen you. |

| Just eat slow and do not eat exta side dishes if you do don't eat a lot of it. and don't use that many condaments whatever it is that you will be eating, and of course drink water and plenty of it. Ask if you can bring something and take a salad.
