Interesting, I have never heard of this either. But I agree with @@honeyg317 I also believe restrictions plays a big role!!

I use MFP, I also have it tied in with my fitbit! Haven't used any others so I can't tell you if it's better or not.

In my news I am 102lb down and consistently having to buy UK size 8 (US 4) clothes.
Is anybody else having issues with their brain not keeping up, though? Even though logically I know I used to look at clothes even in a 12 and thought they looks tiny, I can't reconcile that with how I feel about myself. I still see myself as the fat girl. I bought some size 4 shorts the other day and when I got home took then out of the bag to show my brother. I held them up and he said 'they're so skinny!'. But I look at them hanging up and still don't see them as being small. I don't know if the fact I have some loose skin isn't helping but I don't know how to fix my brain!
I took some pictures in said shorts to try to illustrate to myself that actually I'm not that big anymore, I'll attach them. I apologise for the underwear! If anybody has any suggestions they will be more than welcome!

Today is the day I got to ONEDERLAND!
Down87 pounds.
Next top 90 #.
On the road to -100#.
I was stalled at 202.2 for over a month, but, never lost faith.
I kept reminding my self of when I stalled at 262 #. I thought I would never lose another pound. That was 60 pound ago!

Final weigh in. 192.9!!! Happy 4th everybody!!!!!

Just came back from a trip to Croatia with my husband and my 30 year old daughter and son-in-law. Dubrovnik, Croatia is filled with stone stairs. Our room was a couple of blocks from the main square and 77 steps straight up! I kept up with everyone (with an occassional stop to rest) and it was wonderful! I even kayaked in the sea and climbed a tower in Rovinj to overlook the city - wonderful trip and there is no way I could have done it last year.

I just got the Force!! I still need to sync with Myfitnesspal. I like the the feel of it and I like that it has a display, that the Flex does not have. you can also shower with it and swim. I also like the fact that I can have it on my wrist, clipping to my shirt or my pants would last about one week before I forget to put it on, or lose it!! Here's to finding out if I am as active as I think I am !!!

Hold your head up and just walk in! No one there will judge you! I know the first step is the hardest, but you can do this. The first time i walked into a gym i weighed 400 pounds! If it does help, set an appointment to get set up on a program, the trainers are there to assist you. good luck and take care!!

Checking in. Today's weight 198.6.

Here's the event that forever made me lose my embarrassment of going to a locker room or gym.
About fifteen years ago I weighed probably 240 or so. My daughters were about 3 and 4 years old. My husband and I decided to take them to a new indoor Water park that opened in a nearby suburb.
It wasn't until I got to the locker room that I realized I had packed each of them a toddler towel (with the animal hoodie) but had forgotten to pack my own towel. We had to shower, Shampoo and change after swimming in the chlorine. Had I been alone I could have ducked into a bathroom stall to strip down and change, but I wasn't going to leave my kids alone in the locker room with strangers and they needed my help showering and dressing.
Their mini towels wouldn't cover even one of my legs. So, I sucked it up and walked bare-ass naked from the showers to the lockers with my freshly shampooed kids. They didn't notice, but boy did everyone else.
I felt the stares, especially from the younger people. As I glanced up and saw someone staring at my big old naked body, I just held their gaze until they looked away.
A couple of preteen girls snickered, but I acted like there was nothing unusual about showering and dressing my big body. I remember thinking that I did not want my girls to see me ashamed.
After that incident, I figured if I could walk naked towel-less in a locker room in front of complete strangers, I wasn't going to be fazed by going to a gym.
I did an Aqua Zumba class this spring with a pal and loved it.
I don't stay away from the gym because of embarrassment. I just hate exercise. Lol.

We'll I did it... I made the phone call and I'm getting set up with a personal trainer. Yay me! I'm going to suck it up and get in there and do it. Because I CAN do it. I was so proud of myself for just making the phone call that I walked four miles tonight. Thanks everyone! You guys rock!
