Clearly that's not true or she would have regained all the weight back and she has shown that when she is organised and meal prepping her choices are heaps better. Even doing things like having chicken salad instead of a burger at the casino has to be considered progress. She doesn't drink regular soda anymore. I'm sure she cooked more in the last year than she had previously. She's made lots of little changes that will add up, she just needs to keep building on them. Not everyone is cut out to eat chicken breast with salad or veg or eat under 1200 calories for a year straight.

I don't care what anyone says, I think she has done well overall. There have been improvements, maybe she is slipping a little now and that is why she posted those pics, to get herself motivated again.

J,

You're giving her no credit at all for skipping jelly on her fast food breakfast sandwiches!

I think people are mostly frustrated that she consistently ignores advice and lacks a lot of willpower. She has all the resources and knowledge to succeed and then she does something stupid like getting sausage biscuits at McDonalds when people have repeatedly told her how to eat a healthier breakfast at home.

We know she could be down at least another 30 pounds if she was taking it very seriously, so people are frustrated by the lack of progress and WIL that she has shown (especially as of late).

I think MLY looks FANTASTIC in the pink tshirt pics and those are current. She looks so cute.

Gus,

I can definitely understand people being frustrated and sure she could be down another 30 pounds if she had cut her calories more and exercised etc but it's a work in progress. It's hard to just change something that has been a way of life, sometimes it takes people longer to get there. It's the same with quitting smoking, often it takes a person several times trying to quit before they get there.

Mlylt has lost a significant amount of weight, she can do things physically she had no chance of doing when she was at her peak weight. She is about to reach her 12 month milestone with logging, give her a break and give her some credit for what she has done. I'm not saying she doesn't still have a lot of work to do to get to where she wants to be, I'm just saying she has made improvements and she should reflect positively on these and try to build on them.

I sensed her getting back on track once H&F started to turn on her (loco, renton, and G4S) and Josie was sitting there as an example which in turned served as re-motivation.

I think Josie and Kristy being around as been great for her, and Rexx clearly only wants the best for her too.

Not knocking her progress, but...

I'm gonna sound like a dick here and say this is the kind of thing women say about other women all the time when it's not true. There I said it, may God forgive me.

Noone gets Jose's jokes.

Anyone who doesn't think there is an incredible difference in those before and after pics must be blind.

You're right it is something a woman would say to another but in this instance it's true. MLY looked even better than I anticipated. My honest .02.


Whore! Don't make me tell more bad Mexican jokes cuz I can!

Agreed!

I don't doubt Josie's sincerity, but you're certainly right. Women do say the same thing with no meaning.

MLYLT, I see an really flattering difference. In your face and legs especially.

M is starting her 12 step program tomorrow!!



She will take the stairs at work once. There are 12 steps right there.

Gunt, especially.

Awwww thanks Josie

Thank you Kristy!

Hey M, if you have any time after you've finished wallowing in the compliments you requested, you might consider posting your logs from Thursday and Friday.

That posting isn't welcome here. She's doing just fantastic!!!!

I don't really see how posting 1 year progress pics is such a problem and is asking for compliments. I haven't lost a lot of weight since Jan, but I have been exercising and my body has still had transformation. I gained 6lbs last month, but lost about 1.5" from my waist. It's a weight loss log; you know, where you log your weight lost.

Your waist does legit look improved.

Thanks Dodger

Muscle-fat exchange

Anyone else think of a tree log whenever she says log or is it just me?

Puh-leeze! We are looking for June bikineeze here.

hmm. Really???

Don't sweat it. I'm gonna be a bigger dick.

I don't think anyone has broached this yet, but: Is noone else as shocked as I am that MLYLT's therapist has chosen to focus on a 12-step program for sex addiction? And after only the first session?

I am thrilled that MLYLT found a therapist that she has confidence in, but really??? With all her issues? Sex addiction? 12 steps? Really??

But good luck, MLYLT! Who the hell am I?

I'm a little surprised she put on enough muscle mass in one month of sporadic light workouts to gain 6lbs while losing 1.5" around her waist, but I don't know anything about this kind of stuff.
