I've lost 178 pounds in the last 23 months.


I drink a Giant cup of coffee (18 ounces) with 1/2 cup of skim milk and 2 sweet n' lows Every single morning.  I also drink a minimum of 128 ounces of water.

I've managed my caffeine habit just fine :-)

GW: It was orginally 180, but I've decided to move it down to 155.  This would place me right in the middle of the healthy range for my height (5'9")

I know that some people might not really appreciate me being on this board b/c I don't have a long way to go to my goal....but, I also know that I have been inspirational for a lot of people too.  I have been a member of CC still May 2007 and I'm not going anywhere.  Once I reach my goal, I will still be around to offer support to people struggling with their weight. This website is Great.

If you're interested in my story, you can get the abbreviated verson on my profile. :-)

It's been one heck of a journey!  My goal for Jan 1 is to be at 170- that's 170 lost.  Seems perfect :-)

I never thought I'd make it here- Honestly.  Weighing 340 was so depressing- I felt stuck.  But, I changed all of that.

All I can say is drink lots of water, get your butt off the couch, and allow yourself some "free meals".

It's the ONLY way that I've survived the last 19 months!

Like many of the people have said- it's different for everyone.

I've been on depo for a year and have lost 60 pounds since starting (110 before starting).  I had no issues with it- and no periods either.  For me, it's been a blessing.

 

Weight Loss Has losing a significant amount of weight changed the way you socialize? Nov 16 2008

I definitely have been overweight my entire life.  I was a size 16 in elementary school.  Stuck around 22 throughout high school and shot up to 26 by the time I started grad school.

I started at 340 in May 07- am down to 176 now. 

I'm not sure that I've changed drastically.  In all honesty, I still see myself as the "fat girl" and fear that I always will.  What Has changed is the way that other people react to me.  They pay attention!  Guys hit on my all of the time, and I don't even know it!!  Other people have to tell me when it's happening.  I do hope that with time I become more outgoing, but it's hard to be that way when I grew up the way that I did.  I'm just too used to being the fat girl that everyone ignored...

"McCAIN
*  President Palin
*  Criminalization of abortion 
*  Worsening deathrate / US debt attempting to settle another country's decade long civil war
*  Passing his millionaire tax "cut" plan which provides millionaire earners a 4.4% tax cuts but under $66,000 income less than 1% tax cut, further burdening low to middle class."

Ditto, Sun. 

I'm very sad that people are so caught up in the whole Palin is a female- thing.  She's an extremist and an ignorant one at that.  (just my opinion)

Amy's has a line of really good frozen meals and they're so great- most of them get an A or A-.  I think they're organic, too. You should try them!

I started walking at 340 pounds- and boy was I self conscious.  I think you just have to want "it" badly enough.

If you really want to lose weight, you'll go out and do it.  That was my attitude.  Ignore people!  It's really easy one you get used to it.  Now I march right into the gym with my head high at 204, jump on the cardio equipment, throw my headphones on, and pretend I'm the only one in there!  After all, at the end of the day you're the one who has to live with your weight- who gives a crap what they think?  You just gotta stop caring.

I'd be happy to support you in anyway that I can :-)  Just PM me.

Nope.  He doesn't support me.  Mostly he talks about the surgery I HAVE to have once I've got all the weight off.  Because, "who wants to look at That?"  A-hole!
