At one point in my life I was VERY pretty but not skinny and when I was there I just couldn't see it. Now that I am heavy I would LOVE to be back to where I was when I thought I was fat. Does that make sense?

Yes! Yes, this is me exactly. Sometimes I wonder, how come no one told me (like my family) that I was pretty and fine at that time? I know it sounds so vain but I honestly didn't know how fine (for lack of a better word) I looked back then. And now, whenever we look at old pictures, my family will be like, Wow you looked so different, etc which means wow, you looked so much better! and skinnier! And I just want to be like, then why didn't you tell me that then?! Because I was crazy insecure and didn't know how good I had it.
Sorry, rant over. :/

Thanks Sugarzombie. Well I was looking for an exercise bike online but they are out of stock of the one I want so I will look in stores this weekend. Also, I found a punching bag and stand set.

I'm hovering right around 340 and I can't wait to be UNDER that, going to drown myself in water today to help flush the fat.
We all gotta keep goin'...
What are everyone's plans for the weekend? |
gonna have BBQ so hopefully I'll be good
I'm still trying to love my body but my flaws are more noticeable than my strengths

Someday I won't have plane anxiety, I never use to but then I needed my first seat belt extender, and then I did some reading, now I am trying very hard to be very Zen about this whole thing!

What?? Its not.
I have been away for a while and not it is time to get back. This thread seems like a lot of fun.
Someday soon I hope to ride my paint mare without causing her back to get sore.
Someday I will be able to get on my horse without a mounting block.

Hello this is what I want.
I have been fat all my life, well as far back as I can remember. I saw photos of myself when I was slim, I was around 5. It was then I started to baloon. I have weighed likely as much as 360, I am 5'4 and the least I have weighed as an adult was 180. I am beginning this journey here at 319.6 with weigh ins to begin on Wednesdays. I lost a lot of weight with WW about 13 years ago only to gain it all back. What I remember most about loving being 180 was not the number, I still felt huge, it was freedom. Freedom to walk the streets and not get insulted, freedom to fit in a seat on the subway, freedom to run and catch a bus. I felt strong. I want to feel strong and competent again. But how is that supposed to feel at 46? I don't know.
My knees hurt often, my hip hurts sometimes and I struggle with daily tasks everyday that should not be such a struggle for me at this time in my life.
So I want to feel well, physically well, as well as I can at this stage in my life.
I look forward to learning from all of you and sharing with all of you.

Welcome, Pluckypear! Are you calorie counting or something else? I wish you all the luck in the world.
Yesterday we went to Longhorn (restaurant). Normally going out to eat is where I cave and get whatever I want. But they had a part on the menu (under 500 calories). I got a steak, fresh green beans (which were actually pretty good, and I normally don't like green beans), and a salad. I didn't eat much of the salad because it had strawberry vinaigrette it sounded good at the time but it wasn't. I really tamed myself, but when I started this diet I said nothing was off limits to me so it wasn't. I had a little bit of the artichoke dip with a couple tortilla chips and one stuffed mushroom. They were delish, but so was my dinner. 
And I still saw a significant loss at the end of this week! I was really worried because I felt myself take a bite here, take a bite there, and didn't know what was going to happen, but I'm glad I didn't go over what I was supposed to!
Hope all you ladies have been doing okay.

Hello watchoutforthatcar,
Thanks for the welcome. I count ww points and am trying to eat a whole diet most of the time.
Congrats on losing 15 pounds and choosing yummy yet healthful foods while out to dinner. I love to eat out mainly due to the social aspect.

Sugarzombie, fiber does weird things to my body. I've consistently eaten more daily fiber since September, and my schedule (IYKWIM) is wackier now than it ever was when I ate junk all day every day. IDK, my body isn't really sure what to do with 20g of fiber a day, obviously LOL.

blech. Been on the "I'm sick" diet.
Saw a new low today on the scale (after being up last week with TOM), but I'd just like to not feel sick at the thought of food and get back to my workouts...

AF sent my weight through the roof as well. So glad that evil witch moved on somewhere else. I hope you feel better soon.
