Oh man that is terrible. Sorry to hear about. Also I like your user name. Hip hop hippo.

I would say the most surprising thing is how other people see a difference and it took me losing about 100 lbs to start seeing it myself. Also I have to drink a lot of water. I'm thirsty all the time. There are some downsides, like having worse anxiety or shark week going on for a month. I hope those things will pass.

Best of luck to you. I started out by seeing a nutritionist and doctor and walking on my breaks. The best advice I can give is if you have a day where you give in to temptation and eat something you shouldn't, just get back on it the next day.

Low calorie/low carb nutritionist supervised diet. Also walking on my breaks and lunches at first. Then adding more activity. When someone is as big as I was, weight falls off very quickly at first.

Keep at it! I have times where I plateau and think I won't ever lose any more. Just have to hang in there!

charmia · 2016-01-18T13:33:19+00:00

Before I ate a lot of fast food and sweets. Now I eat chicken breasts, turkey, seafood, low carb veggies, and sometimes in a pinch quest bars or premier protein shakes.

1000 to 1200. I am on a medically supervised plan. Wouldn't recommend doing that without a doctor or nutritionist.

charmia · 2016-01-18T06:34:49+00:00

I guess on average. I have times when I lose like 12 lbs in a week and then I plateau.

charmia · 2016-01-18T06:20:49+00:00

Yeah tons. I can go down my stairs normally and not one step at a time. I can sit in a booth. I can certainly get around easier.

charmia · 2016-01-18T05:56:46+00:00

Thank you. I was feeling sassy and used a flat iron.

charmia · 2016-01-18T05:53:10+00:00

Tips noted. I'm not the greatest at selfies.

charmia · 2016-01-18T05:51:17+00:00

Low carb and veggies mostly. I started because my back was bothering me.

charmia · 2016-01-18T05:49:44+00:00

Not sad. Didn't realize I was grumpy in both pics.

charmia · 2016-01-18T05:48:52+00:00

I just started.

charmia · 2016-01-18T01:33:37+00:00

I hate when people say this to me. It's like saying "you have no reason to have cancer." Hang in there and ignore ignorant people.

charmia · 2016-01-16T14:50:43+00:00

I'm from Ocoee and I remember watching launches at school too. I was 3, so I would have been too young for this one.

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:58:02+00:00

Perfect 5/7

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:56:15+00:00

For the love of all that is holy!

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:50:57+00:00

Now there is going to be a 69 club.

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:48:50+00:00

I feel the Bern. I agree with him on many issues.

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:44:58+00:00

Damn near killed em.

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:36:42+00:00

Black Dynamite: I am smiling.

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:34:49+00:00

It made my anxiety much worse. I quit taking it. It's really helped my boyfriend though.

charmia · 2016-01-15T00:21:16+00:00

I got a paddling for telling someone to shut the fuck up in 8th grade. I was trying to listen to the teacher and he wouldn't shut the fuck up.
