5'2". CW is 174. GW is 140. I, too, am easily discouraged, but determined to stick with it. Feel free to add me.

Turnere316 here. Add me.

Hi, Shannon. Welcome to MFP. I've used this site also. And I've managed to lose 22 pounds in the past year. But life happens. And I slipped away for a little while. Now I'm back & ready to get busy. My kids lost their baby fat a long time ago. It's time for me to let go of mine! Lol

Sister in Christ here. Feel free to add me.

I am proud to say that Jesus is my personal Savior & Lord. Without Him, I can do nothing. Internet problems & lack of motivation took me off of here for awhile. Now I'm back & ready to get back on track.

You are so right! It seems that some of the issues that p!ague women starts with men; MENopause, MENstration, MENtal illness.......

Yep. For the entire week, I want to eat everything in the house. Thank God my will to lose weight is stronger.

When I gave up soda, I did lose weight. And I did drink diet soda.

I've been told all of my adult life that I look like Valerie Bertinelli

I'm 5'2". All my weight is in my stomach, which is NOT a good thing. I've been on here a week and lost 2 pounds. Feel free to add me.

Well no, not devastating exactly. Back when I was diagnosed with asthma, doctors were reluctant to tell someone that he/she were overweight out of fear of getting sued. And some still are, I think. I appreciate this doctor's honesty. And I'm glad to know that I can do something to change it.
