omgg! You are my herooo!!lol- That is just amazing and I am so happy for you!! To think that I could be wearing a FOURTEEN 50 pounds from now is just nutty to me...I had thought I would have to lose, like, almost a hundred to get into a 12-14!! So strange.....When I was at my LOWEST weight ( for like 15 minutes in college)…

Oh yes! I get hit on all the TIME--lmao-- I never have a prob getting dates/meeting guys--but my prob is--- welll..good grief- just read it for yourself...lol.. I had a few views on this board post,but no responses...And I have to say I sure could have used some support that day..Feeling better now, mentally,…

Just smiling at all of the kind support...This is such a great place..:)

WOW....Just absolutely amazing.......I pray that I can gain the strength and attitude I need to follow in your footsteps....And what a blessing to have DONE what you have done and be able to help OTHERS now...That has to be a great feeling.. :) Tracy

Hey, girl..You are in the right place....My advice is to do what I am many people who have a big weight loss ahead are doing when they first start out for change. I am ONLY watchign what I put in my mouth. I am not beating myself up for not "going to the gym" or even doing any substantial exercise YET...........I am doing…

I am so sorry that your family isn'tbeing supportive for you....I just wanted to give you a little cheer up/pat on the back and tell you that you hve ALREADY done something so AMAZING, girl...YOU, maam, have a small amount of weight to lose. You have not let it get out of control to the point where it can seem like a giant…

THANK youYou are amazing----xoxoxoox

I want to be in SHAPE and FEEL good and LOOK good fro when I get back onstage ( which I have found out may be sooner than later--haaaaa) I just MUST get healthier to be able to entertain for an entire night...I also want more energy to keep up with my boy..I want to be a better example for HIM. I want him to see/learn GOOD…

YEPPP! I am with ya sista!!! And I wil trade this new addiction for my old one ANy day.....So happy....

I am So sorry you had to hear that. ALWAYS remember that just because ANYONE says something ( especially something so negative) even if it is a family member, that does NOT mean that it is TRUE, friend.....YOu KEEP right on doing what you are doing.... They sound like they don't have anything to give, so turn to places you…

Thanks, Miss Sassy! Continued success to you!! And YESSSSSSSSSSSSS-exactly-- I am trying to see this as a LONG HAUL...a LIFESTYLE--and nto a sprint....and I think for me to be int he right mindset myself, if I DO ever reach a plateau, I may need to try several diff thigns to see what works best for me...:)xoxoxo

sra---- that all makes total sense......:) SO much to think about!! I guess I have always just relied on my "stubborness" to lose weight ( think anorexia in my early college days.....:( ) and I have never attempted to do it "the right way".....................The ONLY time I have ever lost weight in my life was when I was…

Hey, Chariless-(((ha--thanksss))))) I guess I don't see it as "beating myself into submission ( haaaaaaaa- although it FEELS like that is exactly what I needed to do to get to the low point that brought me here...thank GOD for self admonishment in my opinion or I would be downing a box of Ding DIngs as we speak)but I think…

Haaa-- Care-thanks--I am glad I am not the ONLY one who has thought about this! It really IS a legitimate question, ya know!??
