I am just starting out, and I need to get a new scale, mine stinks, I need a digital scale. I am 313 lbs and want to lose a lot of weight. I am counting calories and yes drinking water is hard for me too. I am a major soda addict tho for a few weeks I have been drinking diet soda, water, and flavored water instead. It's tough tho, I can easily relapse on that and go for a full fat coke or dr pepper. I am trying to find low calorie recipes and eat reasonable portions. I'm starting slow and eating under 1900 calories a day (which is going great so far, some days I am in the 1600s). I'm going to lower it as I go along.

I look forward to:

shopping for clothes and having a bigger & nicer selection

my dad NOT commenting on my weight negatively every time I see him and asking if I have gained weight

Feeling healthier and more fit (I plan to add fitness as well, started a little bit but it's hard because I really hate exercise...)

Wearing short skirts instead of just long ones, and not having my thighs rub

Having a smaller ring size and shoe size (hopefully)

Feeling less self conscious

wrapping a regular size towel around me easily

And more!!

Someday I'll be able to run around with my kiddos and not feel exhausted

Someday I'll not have a love/hate relationship with food.

Someday I'll wear shorts instead of Capri pants

Someday I won't feel so darn lousy.

I have a huge vaca coming up, and I keep telling myself I'll start tomorrow! I just lost 50lbs(hit my usual plateau) and got so mad I put on 60! I can't seem to get my head in the game....and if I have one more person say "but you have such a pretty face, if only...." I'm going to full on lose it! I read all these stories where people start dropping pants sizes with a 10lb weight loss....yeah I lost 50 and went down 2 sizes. I'm so frustrated and I have to start somewhere...

I'm excited for the day when I don't get judged based on my weight. It seems that people base their whole impression of me on my size. I've worked at my job for over 3 years and multiple times customers have commented on my weight when it has absolutely nothing to do with the situation. Just because I'm overweight does not mean that I am not intelligent or good at my job. I try not to let it get to me, but it really does. I cannot understand how people can be so inconsiderate and close-minded. It will be nice to rub it in their faces when I prove that I can actually do this

Someday I will be able to shop in any store for clothing.

Someday I will not need to order a double width shoe.

Someday I will not be the biggest mom at every get together.

[Bridget Jones]

Someday I will be able to shop at regular size stores (and Goodwill!).

Someday I won't be afraid of not fitting on a roller coaster at Six Flags.

Someday I will be able to run a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and join a triatholon.

[pluckypear]

Someday I will get back on a bike.
Someday I will go on all the rides at the amusement park.

[watchoutforthatcar]

Someday I'll see pictures and not want to throw up.
Someday I won't dread going out with my friends and family and be afraid when they take their cameras out and start taking pictures and videos and then putting them on facebook and tagging me.

[Demosthenes]

Someday I won't be the "fat one" in the group.
Someday I will be able to run with my dog.
Someday I will be able to shop at thrift stores and not expensive plus size stores.
Someday I will be able to comfortably fit in the seat of a plane/bus/train.

Hi all! Hoping I can join in as well.

Here's my list of somedays/wants (just copied this from a recent blog post I did - so nice to find a place where so many people can relate to exactly what I'm thinking and feeling!):

I want to...

take a flight without requiring a seatbelt extender
not be out of breath by walking up a single flight of stairs
have my glasses sit on my face better
not have sore feet
not be the subject of sideways looks and glances
not have to cross my arms when seated on the GO train on subway
have a better sex life because I have more confidence and less of me to get in the way
rid myself of diabetes
not have to take heartburn meds anymore
not have to map out every washroom anytime I'm out for fear of needing it
shop in a regular store
weigh less than 300lbs
not hate pantyhose so much (may be impossible) and actually try fishnets
be able to wear necklaces without worrying if they're long enough
share/swap clothing with friends
not have my knees hurt when I walk up or down stairs
finally be able to buy some kick butt boots that go up to my knees

[IPdivajen]

Oh, and I have to laugh a the Lame Bryant sequin shenanigans. So.freakin.true. I'm up in Canada and I still travel to LB stores to buy clothes. Man, can't wait for that to change.

Someday my brother won't feel the need to let me know I am fat.

[BrittyK]

I'm new here, so I'd kind of like to get in on this. My friends all think I'm pretty confident because I wear sun dresses, shorts, tank tops, etc.. But on the inside sometimes I'm just a neurotic mess lol.

Someday I won't worry constantly that my husbands shipmates and their wives are talking crap about him having the fat wife.
Someday I won't have to worry about the dirty looks and 'lectures' from military AND civilian doctors (military doctors are way worse though).
Someday I won't have to feel like I have to obsess over every little thing I put in my mouth over the fear of gaining a pound or two.
Someday I won't have the 'luxury' of being the warm/soft/cuddly friend. Just because I'm fat does NOT mean I like to cuddle.
Someday I'll believe my husband when he says I'm sexy and all he'll ever want. Until then I'll keep thinking that I'm just a big embarrassment for him.
Someday I'll go back to my hometown and see people I grew up with and I hope they don't recognize me.
Someday I won't go home hungry from events (birthday parties, dinners, bbq's, etc) because I was too ashamed to eat my normal amount in front of other people.

My biggest thing though? When I put someone in their place, their immediate reaction will not be 'Yeah well, you're fat.' Fat is not the worst thing I could be called and it doesn't really bother me anymore, but it just gets so old after 20 years of hearing it. lol. But I'd like to have someone put a little more effort into their insult.

Hope you girls are doing okay! All of y'all are quiet!

It's been almost three months and I've lost 30 pounds! I'm so ecstatic! I have so much more to lose, but it's starting to feel like it's going to happen.
