  1. I truly never, even in my wildest dreams, believed I could get to my goal weight. I truly never even had a glimmer of hope that I could one day have a healthy relationship with food, a healthy self-image, hope for my future. But here I am. How in the world did I get so incredibly, unbelievably lucky?

  2. I DID IT! This former 497 pound 61 years old who has lost 280 pounds, but still can't walk biked 6 miles for the Loop for Literacy. Raised $310.00 for the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County. I won a cap for raising the money and a medal for crossing the finish line. My Team was in the top 10 for raising money. Thanks to all my friends who supported me both financially and emotionally. 1 1/2 years ago I never could have done it. IT SURE FELT GREAT! Look at my profile to find today's pictures.

      You lost me when you used the C word. You used it....I saw your post. No woman uses that word. Bad enough when a man uses it but women know...that's a word you NEVER use. It's sooo insulting...and beyond insulting if a woman uses it. Sorry...but that shows where your heart lies. Sad...sad.

      ..and congrats on your anniversary. we have to remember we are here to support each other on our journeys to health and happiness. I like your posts and am enjoying your tales of dating and other 'extra' curricular activities. Let's work together and not tear each other apart.

      I'd say the only thing I'd use as a defense of the bad language and personal attacks are that we are scared. We are frightened of what he might do and because of that, the fear becomes anger. It's no excuse..but a possible explanation.

      ...and for that, I'm sorry. No one should do that to anyone else. None of my comments here got personal..they were about why I preferred Hillary to Donald.

      We can have discourse without getting personal and using foul language. I don't agree with Bayougirlmrsc or other Trump supporters but I will not get personal or vicious. Please don't go there people.

      Better to dance with the devil you know, than the devil you don't. It's an old saying that is very prophetic IMO.

      ahh...but he's more corrupt than you can even imagine. Ask us New Yorkers..we know. It's why we didn't vote for him and he couldn't even win his home state. And that's all I'm going to say.

      exactly. this is a country divided. the poplular vote was basically split down the middle. we'll never be able to see eye to eye on much of this and it makes me sad.

      So..she's a liar, huh? A B**ch, huh?

      How about Trump College

      Atlantic City

      declaring backruptcy four times..and not paying his debts

      Three wives

      Grabbing pu**y

       

      Shall I go on? The man is an imbecile, and the triumverate of Christy, Gingrich, and Guiliani will doom us. We are a laughing stock to the rest of the world save Putil who is smiling and laughing knowing he has a rube in the Whitehouse. God help us all.

  15. At only 4 months in... people are asking me "how much more do you plan to lose?" As if I should stop now and I get it. But I didn't come this far to lose what I could have lost on my own... So although I look like I'm there to other people-- I still have a ways to go.

    1. gowalking

      gowalking

      Remember...these people are using your heaviest weight as a baseline. Of course you look like you should stop soon becuase they know how heavy you were. People who don't know how heavy you were, won't say stop. You stop when your body says stop..or when your doctor says stop. Don't go based on what others think. Oh and I went through the same thing and no..I didn't stop when I lost 50 lbs. or even 100 lbs. I stopped when my body stopped.

  16. Going to see "Hamilton" today. I have a feeling we've got a hit on our hands. No, skip that. I'm so damned excited.

      Enjoy. I saw 'In The Heights' when it was on Broadway and I'm sure you know it was also a Lin Manuel Miranda musical. I enjoyed it very much and expect to enjoy Hamilton as well when I see it three or four years from now..LOL!

  18. After losing a total of 266 I have finally been referred to a neurosurgeon. When I got that referral from the spine surgeon I cried. I may finally have surgery which will allow me to once again walk, dance and do all the things I use to do over 26 years ago.

      wonderful news. here's hoping you are dancing soon.

  22. Has anyone been nervous about what their body will look like after... like maybe my butt isn't so bad now, what if I lose all the good things about my shape/body/me!? Am I just overthinking!?

      My belly hangs..my upper thighs sag, my boobs are useless hanging blobs of skin. Doesn't stop the boyfriend from being all over me...and lot's of his love/lust is because I'm healthy and mobile..which I wasn't before I lost the weight. So...get where I'm going with this??

      why 9 months? a wedding? some other event? just asking because if you give yourself a timeframe, you just set yourself up for possible failure. don't do that to yourself my dear.

  25. What's with all the bitching about not losing 10 lbs. a day? At least three new whines are posted daily. I have come to the conclusion that the psychologists who do evaluations are asking the wrong questions and not paying attention.

    1. gowalking

      BTW, @High functioning fat man, the fact that you lost anything so soon after surgery is amazing. Most people are swollen and fluid filled..and ten or more lbs. heavier than what they weighed before surgery. So..great job so far!
