And it wasn't pretty. I weigh 2 lbs more than I did 9 months pregnant! OMG, 40 lbs to lose!
This is not going to be easy, I need to change my whole lifestyle! I am a slug...a chunky slug. :(

    Hi there! I totally hear you!! I just figured if I didn't get on the scale, I wouldn't know and then I wouldn't have to face it. WRONG. :( I started a pretty strict lifestyle change 3 weeks ago and have lost 20 pounds! I'm determined and hope that here I will find the support to keep me going through those tough days!! You can do it! Just remember we have to do it for OURSELVES!!!!

    it is OK to ask.

    A chunky slug is no way to describe yourself. Not at all. More like a gorgeous strong willed woman. :) Good luck on your journey... And if you need encouragement... Feel free to add me!

    Losing weight is a state of mind, if you walk into with a bad attitude that is the result your going get. It's not going to be easy, in fact it's going to be long and hard sometime a little stupid. But the MFP peeps are always here to help you through the hard days. You have got to remember that even when it gets tough your are going to push through... Good luck on your journy!

    I can SOO relate to your post. About 11 years ago I became completely obsessed with stepping on a scale and weighing myself 2,3,4 times a day! My husband was supportive but finally said..."you need to get rid of that scale, it's not worth it!" I got rid of the scale and joined TOPS where I was still accountable every week but it wasn't all consuming. Over a period of time, I lost 40 lbs. Since then I have put back on 30 of it. I have made the choice to start a healthier lifestyle and get moving again. I can't stand to exercise but seeing that with this program I can eat more if I exercise, is more motivating to keep trying. Last night I re-joined TOPS and stepped on the dreaded scale. I am creating small goals to reach for myself...5 lbs at a time. That way it doesn't seem as daunting of a task. Keep your head up and know that we are all in this together!!
