    Hardest thing for me would giving eating disorder.. The reason I put on weight was because I used to go stavation mode and no fixed time for breakfast, lunch or dinner.. There have been days when i skipped all of them.. and sometimes I was hungry that I would eat anything I find..lol... But now I am better off... Yes my husband supports me, he encourages me to do yoga everyday although at times he makes weird comments...

    Sorry something is going wrong with my lappy... i thought it wasnt posted and posted two times..lolz

    Hi SAHMU!
    So I noticed an interest in posting before and after pics. How about we add a point for those of you who post a picture some time this week, I think it is a great accountability tool and to see results will be amzing at the end of our 60 day. So what do you think??

    SW 169
    CW 156
    GW 125

    I will hit my goal by October 12th (my son's 3rd birthday). No excuses.

    I was always an emotional eater. Happy, sad, pissy, no matter what the emotion... I would eat. My heaviest weight on record was 201 on the day my 1st son was born. However, I was heavier in high school than I was at my son's birth, but I was too scared to step on a scale and put an actual number to my shame. My reason for being an emotional eater, I can tie back to my childhood. My parents were constantly dealing with my drug addicted older bother (by 7 years), and I was always put on the "back burner", no matter what my question was. Too busy focusing on his "issues" and all of the heartache and chaos that came with it, but without them ever actually coming out an admitting that he might have a problem. I am 26 now, this started when I was 10, and my parents just recently came forward an acknowledged the problem (he's still using). Don't worry... I turned out pretty well considering. Nontheless, it was hard to deal, or should I say not deal with this at home, and then go to school and be picked on and beat up everyday for being the fat, scrubby kid. I internalized everything, and food was my only comfort. Looking back on it, I had no confidence and so easily allowed others to influence me, and was always seeking other's approval without considering how I would feel no matter the consequences. That's all changed. Thank goodness I met my husband 8 years ago (after a bout of being a gym-a-holic and losing 75 lbs., I weighed 125 and had never looked so good.) He's changed my life for the better. He's helped me regain my confidence, see me for who I really am and the person that I want to be. Sorry for the rant, but I feel better actually having put it into words for the world to see. Yes, I've been through hell, but I'm back and life couldn't be better. :)

    Is it too late to join? I think maybe the black team still has room? If so, I'd love to join! This is exactly what I'm looking for... a smaller group to help me stay accountable. I lost almost 30 lbs and then in 6 months of slacking on here I gained almost all of it back :( I'm determined to get it off and keep it off though!

    Starting weight- 193

    Goal weight (for 60 day challenge)-170

    End goal- 160

    SW: 320 lbs
    SMFP: 320 lbs
    SAHMU: first weigh -in: 319lbs

    I just joined Saturday but I was fortunate enough to come across some great people! My determination through all this is, my daughter. I want to be here for her longer and want to be able to influence a healthy lifestyle for her.

    I believe my reason for remaining overweight all my life is that I never really had a support system to guide me otherwise. My mom was mainly the one that kept me down. Instead of encouraging me or joining me in keeping motivated, she basically always expected failure. In turn, so did I. I have found MFP and there are great people on here. I can't put into words how grateful I am for small blessings like these. Good Luck everyone!!! Lets Kick Some *kitten*!!!! :-)

    Well I guess I'll post my starting details here as well as the Pink Team.

    Starting MFP Weight : 157
    Starting SAHMU Weight : 154
    Week 1 Weight : 154
    Goal Weight : 135

    Emotional Challenge: I am a very emotional person. I use food to celebrate, to mourn, to suppress anger, etc. I was down to 142 in April, then my papa suddenly passed away and I couldn't stop eating. And all of a sudden I was 158! I've always yo-yoed, because in the past when feeling bad about myself I would starve myself, or purge. It was so stupid but I always thought it would make me feel better; it didn't.
