New Year, New Thread for Those who Weigh 200 lbs/90 Kg or More

Nataliejo,

You are such a sweet heart. I think going with the flow and seeing what happens sounds like a good idea. I'm sure a long distance relationship is hard. You are doing great sweetie!!!


Ok folks I just did my measurments. It's amazing what 2lbs on the scale actually means when you do measurments.

4/10 Was the last time I did them, and weighed myself.

Since then I have droped 8 inches in my hips!
1 more inch in my waist
1/2 inch in my neck
2 1/2 inches in my arms
and even an inch in my calves

2lbs, that's all, and so much change... Now that's motivation!
 
Ok so I dont know if I reported this, but this morning I weighed in at 271, so I am officially almost out of the 270s, but have yet to go out for a walk today. Peter and I hopefully will be talking today, we made a plan to talk at two pm .. u know

but if he doesnt stick with it .. I am jetting for a little walk, I was going to wait till later, but I dont mind making it earlier .. u know ?

love yas

and Hope, congrats on the losses in inches... way to go!!!:party::party::party:
 
Heya...I'm new to the boards. I weigh 249 lbs....highest ever for me. Glad to see there is a great community out there to support others on the same journey.

I don't have a specific goal in mind, but I want to be out of the 200's so I need to lose 50 lbs.

Looking forward to chatting with you!

Blueiiz Welcome!!! Let us know if there is anything you need help with!

Nataliejo,

Hope things go well with peter today!

Hey guys, do any of you know how to post picks? I don't know if it's suposed to be an attachment, in the post or what. It seems like others can post lots of picks, but I tried to attach two and when I added the third, it kicked the other two off. So I don't think I was doing it right. I want to post in the before after and inbetween section.. Any idea's?

gosh Kev you must be very lucky.. running.. that's a far dream for me!! My body can't handle that.. too much stress right now!

I walk.. and a little jogging here and there. Running will only hurt me at this point.. but soon maybe!!

Congrats Hope2!!!! 2 more pounds, you rock!! Sorry i can't help you with the pictures, no idea how to post 'em
 
Hello gals and guys,
Well this morning Peter is up at nine am at my house and he is meeting my mom (scared much). She likes to analyze people and get right down to the core root of the person, or what she thinks is. So this is going to be hard. I hope she doesnt drive me too nuts with her "red flags" lol

Does anyone know the "red flag" phenomenon? Am I alone in this?

lol well she wants to pick his brain apart, see how he talks, his gestures to try and find anything that might be wrong with him, that might tell her he is no good. Which is fine, she is just looking out for me. All my bfs have been doozies, even one putting me in debt so I had to go for bankruptcy, but that was a long time ago. I have my credit back, my credit is getting better. I never thought they would give me another credit card, but they did. I only have a 300 dollars limit, but I only use it in emergencies, which is a very good thing, or habit to pick up. But I already have good debt mounting from college, but hey its cool. I am looking forward to working in the bookstore when I am done. I love bookstores and thats actually my goal to work in Barnes n noble or a Borders or the Coup, but I think the Coup in Cambridge only hires people from the school, so that would be a no no, plus I was have to take Mass Transit, and as much as I love Mass Transit, I would have to learn it instantly, although between my ex and my sister I am learning it slowly. South Station, fine. North Station, confused as all hell lol

But anyway so my tops are getting too big and some are too small I have come to find out, some are too long, because I am only 5'6..

today I am wearing a cut denim skirt with a nice shirt and yes white plain sneakers with white bobby socks. We are going to the beach. So I dont want to wear the other shoes, because they are rather uncomfy. I need to ...someday when I have money...which is not going to be for another four years...lol jk ...but someday I have to invest in another pair of nice shoes, ones that actually fit, I hate hurting after wearing the nice shoes. I can't really walk in them, they are more like walking in the store, going to a restaurant, as long as I am not walking through Boston, however, we always seem to be walking Through Boston, so I can't wear them when I visit Joanna, maybe this summer I will look for a good pair, maybe in sketchers ... or something ...
but anyway I have to buy new walking shoes, because the winter ones I bought in March are a dying breed right now...

took a walk yesterday in the boiling hot sun for forty minutes, man was I sweating. Tank top season is on its way, thankfully. Hopefully I will find pretty tank tops and not gross tank tops. I usually find the cheap gross tank tops, I want things that are pretty, as expensive as they are, and wont shrink so fast ... quality... thats about it peeps..

I look forward to seeing Peter, these past couple weeks seem like a lifetime ...

oh well

I'm right there with you. I made a lot of bad mistakes with boyfriends and such growing up. Even one that about 2 years ago was arrested for kidnapping some girl in NY and taking her to Mexico or something horrible. not when he was with me though, thank god >.<!! But my parents were very VERY strict after my boyfriend at 17, whom i found out was a theft and was into drugs... i swear i had no idea for the 6 months we were together, and when i found out he was gone. But yes i have made bad choices. So when i was 19 i met my husband. I live in one state, my parents in another. I didn't tell my parents about him for almost a year. Back of my mind i was trying to figure out what was wrong with him since my parents would. But at my 21st birthday my parents came to visit.. surprise >.< and they met him. Actually they liked him, my dad more than my mom. Turns out he asked my dad if he could marry me when they were down here, then he propsed about a year later.
Anyway nice to have parents watching your back... wish i would have listened to the first dozen men that came in and out of my life. My parents were right about allll of them, and they were right about my man now. I guess parent sjust know things.. okay that's kinda scarey to think. lol

Bok store? I'd love to own one!! I'm a book worm, i just started getting into some kinda twisted serial killer kinda books... okay sounds bad, but really it's very edge of your seat kinda stuff.. and almost like watching a horror movie in my mind LOL

Hope all went well!!! :)

Welcome to the board Natalie (Blueiiz). My short term goal is to get out of the 200's too....I am hoping I can do it by the end of the year, but I weigh 276 now so that might be pushing it a little :) You'll make it out of the 200's that's for sure. There is a really beautiful woman on this thread by the name of Ali When she first joined us she was in the early 200's and was out in no time Cameraobscura and Kevi are also almost on their way out of the 200's and the rest of us are losing weight like crazy so you are in good company :) You will make it!! Of this I am sure :cheers2:

No clue!! Normally displays images or [IMAGE]insert web address here [/IMAGE] is supposed to do the trick, but I tried that with two pictures yesterday and it just showed links. Maybe they disabled this feature for everywhere but the "before, after, and in between section" so maybe you can try it there and see if it works.

Well guys I woke a little late this morning and got to the gym by 6:50 so I could only stay for 30 minutes, but it was okay. Hopefully tomorrow I will wake on time. Also I do not know if my body is making up for lost time or what but I am eating like 5 times a day its crazy!! Last week and the week before that I was barely eating. I am trying to keep it as healthy as I can. Today I was attacking strawberries but I messed up late in the day when I was working overtime and ate some junk. I'm going to try to get some other things at the supermarket so I don't so that again!!

nite all i am pooped :sleeping:
 
Awee I guess i'm alone at running :(. I can run lol i'm very fat at 209? Idk lol i'm gonna start running soon when my knee pains go away!!!!! But, I still play basketball LOL!>

im back

ok, so im back after my weekend... I dont seem to have done too much damage... the only indulgence i had was drinking and boy was that good mmmhm. I had lots of water and special k meal bars... and the guy i was with got food to eat at mcdonalds... but i was fussy and drove all over milwaukee (quite literally) until i could settle on something. Which turned out to be a lunchable and choco milk and yougurt covered raisins from walgreens... oh man what an adventure. We walked all around too... it was a LOVELY lovely time.

but when i got home there was leftover pizza, i had a slice...and fruit snacks... and then when i got home to school, i kinda munched on my chips (corn chips... not flavor blasted chips) and dip, and more yogurt raisins.. not detremental, but not good either.

all and all i think i did really well.

glad to hear everyone is doing well as well : ) keep up the good work.
 
Hi guys!

Dreamer2015, I'm glade your back! And didn't mess yourself up to badly!:)

Kevi, Yeah your just a loner, no one runs and no one plays basketball!lol.. Acutally you're very lucky! I'm sure we all can't wait to get where you allready are!!!

nataliejo, just hang in there, your doing it!

Pink, Thanks hon... How are you doing with your new Gym rutine?


KunoichiEmi,
"My parents were right about allll of them, and they were right about my man now. I guess parent sjust know things.. okay that's kinda scarey to think. lol "

I am so one of those scary parents, lol.. I am allways right, and my teens know it (thank GOD), and they actually listen.I got them trained in middle school, and I would tell them, watch out for this friend, I feel this is going to happen with her... Bla bla bla.... Now, my oldest who is in high school, just listens to me, and waits , and see's that I'm right agian. I think it is totaly a parent thing, if your trying to stay 2,5,10 steps ahead of your child, and that is something you focus on, I think it just comes naturaly... Or maybe I have a gift, lol...:reddevil:

Welcome Blueiiz! I'm around the same weight as you are starting at. My goal for right now is to get out of the 200's too! It's always great to find someone with the same goals as oneself.

Awee I guess i'm alone at running :(. I can run lol i'm very fat at 209? Idk lol i'm gonna start running soon when my knee pains go away!!!!! But, I still play basketball LOL!>

Kevi, Do you wrap up your knee before you play basketball? If not, maybe you should start. I dont know the extent of your problem with your knees, but I know that Tiger Balm works great on pain, but if you use it, dont put too much on because it'll burn. Hope your knee gets better soon Sweetie. Hmm, I'm thinking about starting to run too... or at least jog. But I've been saying that for awhile so I dont suppose that will happen anytime soon.


Later All,
Veronica
