  • I'm not sure which would be more accurate, I think the important thing is to just pick one and stick with it. It may not be dead on accurate but you will be able to keep accurate count of your progress. Good luck!!!
    in which would you go with? Comment by kaitee24 September 2011
  • This is a great topic. I think I've missed out on a lot of stuff not just because of my weigh, but because of my self image, playing at the park with my kids, going places with them, swimming with them at the pool, etc. This past summer I have really caught up on things I've missed out on! We went swimming a lot and I wore…

  • I agree with everyone else, of course it's okay...I do not deprive myself of anything, I just have learned to treat myself in moderation. I mean, who doesn't love Mcd's fries! But, maybe next time you have a treat you might just have a small fry, instead of a large, that way it doesn't pack on tons of calories but you…

  • Hi there, I was having this exact problem the last few weeks. I don't have any tips for sewing, but I did go to a thrift store and bought some lightly used jeans, so I have some that fit me, (size 10 now! down from 20 at Christmas:]) but don't spend tons of money because I don't want to have to replace them in a few more…
