I LOVE this post! I agree 100%. Although I am not where I need/want to be I am so much more in control and comfortable with my body than I have ever been. Good for you for posting this!!! You look great! :smile:

Mister clean

Happy birthday!! Great job!!!

Beautiful day today -- 20 minute walk on my lunch break! YAY us!!!

I'm totally in for this!!! Please let me know when we start. YAY!!! Thanks for the extra motivation!!! :happy:

I agree - sexy is within. When I was younger I was a wallflower and not confident and single for a long time. As I got older and learned to love who I was regardless or what size I was at the time my confidence grew and THAT is what is attractive to people - men or women. Plus, when you are confident with who you are,…

Ha ha! So true. :happy:

I'm a mom of an 8year old girl and a 2 year old boy -- motivation ALWAYS welcomed and I'm always willing to offer to support. Feel free to add me. Good luck on your journey!! :flowerforyou:

Exacerbate -- hee hee

IN 25 days I turn 40 so I totally understand your milestone. Good luck and add me if you'd like!! :happy:

There are good carbs too. Plus something with carbs but high in fiber is excellent for you. I'm notu sure what you'd find with no carbs and you probably shouldn't go that route anyway. I'm on a pretty low carb diet but find I have to consume some or else my blood sugar drops so drastically that I can't function. You have…

I love corsets!! I want a black one.

I grab a 100 calorie pack of almonds or some string cheese. Those are my top 2 go to when I'm hungry.

Yummy!

Might I suggest just asking your physician what they would consider a proper amount of carbs for YOU and YOUR needs? We are all different and this post did nothing to really answer your initial question. Good luck!!! :happy:

BTW - I also hve big brown eyes and I love them too. I'm sure your's are not boring!!

I like my lips -- full w/ a cupid's bow. Look great w/ lipstick. :smile:

I think it depens on what you're eating. I'd opt for some almonds or put some peanut butter on your crackers. Absolutely agree that our bodies mistake thirst for hunger so a glass of water is always a good idea. Carbs always make me want more so I stick with things like the almonds or string cheese to give me the protein…

I agree with talking to your doctor about the shaking. When I get shakey my blood sugar is low (50-60 range). If you're eating protein you need to balance it out with some healthy carbs as well. I usually eat either eggs or some cottage cheese and a slice of whole grain toast. That works for me and the protein really holds…

Welcome & best of luck!!!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you're looking for added support. :happy:

Wow that was encouraging now wasn't it!

I had 1 daughter and I finally decided that I would have another child (when my 1st was 6) because I felt guilty having her be an only child. I was worried about how it would be when her father an I were gone and she was alone in the world. Kind of weird, I know, but I now have 2 beautiful chilren (thank God) and I'm much…

I hate to say it but I'll be an honest one -- I'd cheat. As long as no one was going to get hurt out of it. We all know it's a struggle be it 5 pounds or 100+ pounds. So, shame on me if you must.

Read your signature line -- I think it speaks volumes. Good luck to you...:flowerforyou:

YAY!!! Good for you! :happy:

Sounds like me. I'm on the scale so much I've thought about ditching mine and only weighing myself when I go to the doctor. Sometimes I am so defined by what the dang scale says that it can make or break my day. So NOT a good way to be. I fluctuate all the time as well but the way I see it is if my weight keeps going down…

Yum beef jerky! I'd love some now!! High in protein. Water water water. :smile:

That's your first step. Welcome and good luck. Loads of support and motivation here. You can do it!!!

I needed that today too. Thanks!!

I have been eating low carb for a while now. There is NO way I can be totally carb free. FIrst of all I'm not creative enough to find enough food to satisfy me. Secondly, if I don't have some carbs to balance out all my protein I tend to have my blood sugar drop too low and I feel a bit crappy. Carbs are not bad. You just…
