All of my friends are skinny or have the mindset that it's better to be overweight and/or obese than to loose anything. A few of them are morbidly over weight...It makes it hard to lose weight when you are craving Cold Stone and your friend decided it's a great idea and buys it in front of you....Even my b/f has this…

PROGRESS!
Wow. In two days, I have lost 1.5 inches off my waist and 2 off of my hips!!! (I don't really go by weight, because it's really depressing, and besides, clothes aren't sized by weight, but by measurements) I guess doing it right really makes a difference! Woo-hoo!

PMS issues? need advice/experience. (men, you can read, but
I never felt like I was a PMS-er before. Now I am beginning to wonder. I got my IUD removed in August. It was a hormone-secreting one, so I did not have periods while I had it in (had it in for over 4 years). Before that I was pregnant, before that I had a miscarriage (only had 1 period between the miscarriage and getting…

Negative people

Setting smaller goals
I have 45 lbs to loose...that seems like alot to me. It has been a little discouraging to think of how long it's gonna take me to loose it. SOOOOO I decided that I will just worry about getting under that "overweight" mark first. I am only about 10 lbs away from that, so it seems more do-able. I would like to get back to…

Visit from the MIL
My MIL is visiting us at the beginning of July, 11 weeks from now. I have been at this for 10 weeks already, and lost 17 pounds. My weight loss is slowing down a little, but I don't think it is unreasonable to be down a total of 30 pounds by the time she visits--I would be 161 if that happens. The problem? I don't think it…
