I just can't imagine....
I am down 8 pounds, and I have fought for every single one of them. I just cannot imagine being down 20 or 35. I know from Bank's posts that I am entering a hard phase, week 3. I have never made it past week 4, never. The thought that I may at some point be down 50 is so unbelievable to me, I dare not even think about…

So my youngest is 13 months now, and I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow! Yes, I'm terrified!!! When you've had looks your entire life at a…

Totally Blew It
I wasn't going to post this, but then I figured the one of the first steps to making changes is the accountability, so, here it goes.....I went (GASP) 1,600 calories over today. What the heck is wrong with me? It started off as just wanting a chocolaty snack while watching one of my shows....next thing I know my show is…

When you feel "fat"...
I am feeling very gross and "FAT" today. You know that term encompasses way more than our bodies? Anytime a woman is feeling down, depressed, angry, or even bored - she starts feeling FAT. I feel that way today, and I don't know why! I'm in a good mood, it's been a great day - I think I'm just insecure today. I wish I knew…

Upper Thirty-Somethings and losing the Pounds
I swear to you it is like my body has changed in the past 3 years- since I hit 35. If I skip a few days of working out it is like starting over- I used to skip 2 weeks and just jump back in! A two week vacation literally put on 8 lbs! That includes walking in theme parks all day- *grumble* and I am just finding overall…

Needing Support
I am really just needing to develop a good stable support network of people with similar goals and possible the same struggles as me. My family tries....They say they'll help and support me (cause they could ALL use some weightloss, even more then me). However, they say that and then have big get togethers with junk food…

swift kick in the butt

After 6 months of a steady 230 pounds the scale finally moved in the right direction!!!!!! I lost 4 pounds!!!!! I thought it was a mistake so didn't record the loss but after 4 days it still says 225 to 226 pounds. I started a new "healthy lifestyle" 6 months ago but the scale never moved. I was very good about exercise…

new pic of me down 43 lbs.
I have changed the pic of me to a recent one taken a couple days ago. This is me down 43lbs in a little over 4 months. If I can do it anyone can. When I set my goal to 140 I really thought I would probably only get down to 160 but the weight just kept coming off and I am now 139 lbs. Anyone who feels like giving up, DON"T…

Anyone else have a cut off time for food?
Mine is no later than 7pm. No problem during the winter. Well, last night I was out after 8 and it was still light outside. I wanted to chow lol. I'm realizing that as it gets darker later, it's gonna be harder to stop eating when I want to. Anyone have any tips for me to not eat late?

Talk about temptation!
I am a part of a local mom's meetup group and there are a lot of pregnant moms and several of us chip in take turns bringing them dinner to help with the first crazy days. So, I made a lasagna today. REAL ricotta, REAL mozzarella, ground beef, the whole shebang!! (She bang??!! LOL!) It smelled SO good baking in my oven,…

I hate being a woman sometimes!
Not only is it harder for us to lose fat around belly, thighs, etc. but once a month we get to feel totally bloated and disgusting!!! I've had the WORST cravings the last few days for nothing but candy and sweets (and I've had NO self control), I've gone over my calories like, 3 days in a row, all my pants are tight from…
