    justgemmy- I'll add you! I've found that I'm much happier when I exercise :) It was really slow for me at the start I was so discouraged but I kept treading on. Results will show up, eventually- you just have to keep at it!

    Sharlene- Curvy women unite! I'll add you- I lost most of my weight when I was sent to my aunt and uncle's in North Carolina for what they called "boot camp" I'm back in Wisconsin and I no longer have my uncle telling me what I can and cannot eat or my aunt making sure I exercise every day. It's all up to me, which is kind of scary, but I'm keeping on track- so glad I found this site!

    Hello and congrats. I too can be lazy. I am the mother of 5 and worked 2 full time jobs and just finished my master's degree - when school ended in May, I didn't know what to do with myself. I'd been in school for the past 7 years which kept me occupied - from May til now, I sat around playing zombie bowling on yahoo. This made me more lazy and more tired, I couldn't muster the energy to do laundry, much less anything else.

    Last week, my fellow co-workers went to the state fair and we took the funny pics all day. One of me was posted on facebook and I almost died. I looked like I was 6mths pregnant. That was my rock bottom. Monday I started, eating healthy and working out. I also printed tons of motivational sayings and pictures off the net that really push me to keep going. I know I'm only 4 days in, but I really want to get healthy. I want to pull anything out of my closet and put it on and look good. My birthday is in October (about 55days) and I want to fit into the same sexy dress I wore last year.

    Let's help each other out. Kick each other's butt to keep going each day - even when we don't want to. This website is really helpful, especially at the end of the day when it says "if you do this every day, you will weight...." that's motivates me.

    Hope this helps - keep in touch - Maggie:smile:

    PS - I'm in Wisconsin too.

    I know where you are coming from with the weight and finding clothes. I am 38 but don't like to dress it. I have tattoos piercings and color my hair bright fun colors. Right now it is blue pink and platinum blonde. I live in Arizona and have found that Torrid has some really cool clothes (a little pricey look for sales).

    I agree. Why is it that plus sizes have no style? That's part of the reason that I am working so hard to lose weight. Good luck with your weight loss.

    I can be mean grrrrrrr. LOL I'm like totally in awe that you lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks!?!?! WOW. You should be proud of yourself and the way you look now compared to 30 pounds ago would be enough to motivate anyone. I was the most successful when I counted calories. The pounds came off slow, but it took a long, long time to put them back on.

    I'm concerned because you gained so much weight in only a year. Did your diet change so drastically that it warrants the weight that you put on? 4 pounds a week is a lot. As long as you are eating healthy and not going below 1000 calories a day it should be OK. You must be working out ALOT.

    I have a problem with depression and found that excercising and eating right helps to alleviate alot of that.

    Have you thought about going to the doctor and having your thyroid checked? I would let him/her know your history.

    tship74 is not mean enough....I'm meaner....now drop and give me 50! :)

    I actually do have a low thyroid problem- I take medication for it and get my blood checked regularly. Also, I ate out A LOT and never exercised.
