I LOVE this!!! Congratualations!!! I can't wait for the day when I "wake up skinny!" Thank you for sharing!! Great way to start my morning!!!! :)

I understand. Totally, and completely. I just want to eat, eat and eat. For no apparant reason at all. Usually it is at night, when everyone is in bed except me....I fight with it every day. I have lost, gained, and lost again. It is a very frustrating way to live. What have I discovered? Just don't start eating during…

Thank you for all of your responses. Both the sweet and compassionate AND the ones that are a good swift kick in the *kitten*. Honestly, I think I need more of the later! I have looked in the mirror....nowhere to put 35 pounds...nowhere to put 5....and I will step on the scale...in the morning....let's be fair! And I will…

That was harsh, but I loved what you had to say so much, that I am going to copy, print and post on my fridge. Thanks for sharing that!!!

Hi! I agree with the previous post. I try really hard to not eat a lot of carbohydrates. Most of mine come from fruit, veggies, oatmeal. I don't eat much breads, potatoes, pasta, chips, all the things I love most. I also try not to eat much sugar at all. I still lose pretty slowly. But it is coming off! Slow and steady win…

She is trying to sabatoge you. She feels threatened because if you lose the weight she fears that you will change while she is not. She wants to talk you out of it. I didn't read all of your responses so maybe someone already said that. But that's all it is. I would tell her that it hurts you when she says the things that…

Amazing! So inspirational! Congratulations!!!!

I have the exact same problem....I take ambien to help me sleep at night, and I wonder if that makes it worse. I take the ambien and then I am so hungry and sleepy....and then I start eating, and suddenly I don't care about the work I have done all day anymore. It is insane.... I am listening for answers from everyone!…

I have been there too...when I have felt in the past like I failed, that's when I just stopped. Now, I just try the "one day at a time" attitude. Can I exercise today and when? I do have a plan for that 6 days a week. I also know that my realistic goal is two pounds a week. Some weeks are better than others. I have a long…

you are in the right place! Being accountable to this website every day along with your own honesty and motivation really works! I have another 80 pounds to go, so I am in this for the long haul! Welcome to the club!

I hear you loud and clear! I know I can never stop monitoring....it will have to be the rest of my life. :( I think food is an addiction for me.... I'll be your friend!! Welcome back! It is nice to have a place to go where you can get support and encouragement from people, even if we are complete strangers! The main thing…

I love them! I wouldn't worry about it a bit! I don't use them daily either, but it is way better than many things you can eat! Like the nasty pop tart I just couldn't walk away from this morning! :)
