    I haven't lost a pound since February - I so feel like throwing in the towel... but this is not about a 'diet'. It's about changing a lifestyle, which takes time.

    Not to be a judge of your food choices but I looked in you diary for 1 week and came to the conclusion that you are starving yourself and giving your body the wrong nutrions. Try switching up your food choices,cut the carbs a little ,eat all your meals and snacks,and watch your sodium intake.Try to include more protein as well.How much do you exercise?I know you have 2 small children but are you able to go out at all and get some exercise?You know you can buy DVD'S from Bob Harper or Jillian Michael's(30 day shred) ,really awesome.If you want you can look at my diary after adding me as a friend and you can see what I eat and what I do for exercises a day.I have lost a total of 89 lbs so far.Keep up your efforts to your lifestyle change.:flowerforyou:

    yeah ive got no kids, and i eat a lot, and will defend that and for the past week, that was being judged, i have done PHENOMENAL, no one can bring me down on that. i am such an overeater, i did so great, and still ate 3 meals and snacks almost every day! proteins, carbs, you name it i ate it! and i've been exercising a lot, more than i ever have in my whole entire life!

    I think I eat properly too - in fact my nutritionist thought so too and is stumped, so she has me eating 2 more snacks consisting of a carb/protein each snack about 150 cals each... So I've been doing that and it's kinda confused my body and caused me to gain 4 pounds....:explode: but I'm gonna give it a go and hopefully things will change.:ohwell:

    I just wanted to say that "Loathesome" is a misnomer. It is not truth in advertising. You are anything but.

    :-) Your posts are full of encouragement and insight.

    I know this gets frustrating, but I can tell just from reading your posts how strong you are. There is metal in that backbone girl! Titanium!

    Maybe just show yourself the same encouragement and empathy that I see you show others on here. Because you are worthy of that, and more.

    Yeah, mine are 19 months apart in age. The oldest will workout with me, but the youngest tries to climb up on the treadmill while I'm in a full run. I usually wait for naps:grumble: or bedtime.

    i did get past 127lbs this time...lol but then this weekend happened and i had some alky which makes me retain water like crazy and then i ate at three diff resturaunts this week :grumble: lol...but back on the ball and seeing as its monday its a new week :bigsmile: just keep at it hun and that baby weight will start to fall off in no time

    until my bloodwork comes back I'm not going to change anything.
    but - my doctor wants me to stop everything I was doing and refocus on high intensity cardio. SO - I'm shifting to that.
    I was: working with a personal trainer core/cardio 3 times/wk
    going to Bikram Yoga 2 times/wk
    Swimming 2 times/wk
    treadmill 5 days/wk
    and walking my dog everyday for 45-60 minutes

    She recommended I stop everything and do high impact/hi intensity 4 days a week, and continue swimming.

    trust me - working out is not the issue.
