I think my commitment and determination to see this happen are the two biggest things for me. Also treating myself like my own best friend ;)

Born in New Orleans & now on the Northshore in Ponchatoula :)

SMH....I try to eat clean but I do like to have processed foods sometimes. I agree with moderation :) It works for me & a lot of other people. Everything is a learning experience & everyone has a different path. I read a lot of "no" & "never"....a holier than thou attitude is never a good thing, btw I read the first & last…

Awesome!! congratulations!!

I'm in Ponchatoula ;) I'm from NOLA...where are you?

Congrats on 20 pounds lost! My loss is pretty obvious so I've gotten to be very open with it. Now it's a part of who I am & word has gotten around enough where people that don't personally know me will find me to ask questions. My husband calls me a local celebrity? lol Anyway it's weird sometimes but if I am able to help…

The camelbak water bottle has my vote too!

I'm a grazer so I eat almost all of the time lol

I have three kidlets too (not twins though!).....you can so do it! Even if your exercises consists of just cranking the radio and dancing around while they are all up, it's something :) Use them as your motivation to eat healthy. They are watching your every move & will imitate everything good and bad. I wish you the best…

Hi! I teach water aerobics now but when I first started I worked out in my pool at home :) it's very easy on the joints but can give you a great workout!

lol at the topic question....sorry I have a naughty sense of humor :D The songs I like are Welcome to the family - Avenged Sevenfold Let's Get it Started - Black Eyed Peas King Nothing - Metallica Sound of Madness - Shinedown Price Tag - Jessie J just depends on what I'm doing

It's jealousy....I live in a small town and supposedly I have had weight loss surgery, a bulimic, cancer or some other disease to where I stopped eating :P Just keep going and ignore the haters :)

We run in my water cardio classes that I teach....much easier on the knees but still gives a great workout!

I considered having the lap band done before I started my weight loss journey (just celebrated my 3rd anniversary of starting yesterday!) and came to the conclusion that I would have to change the way I eat no matter what & to give it one more very honest try at losing it on my own. Which the "last try" seemed to have…

I have my own cabinet at home for my snacks :) my kids do still eat a little junk so when I separated my snacks from their's I did a mental shift as well. That was 3 years ago & I still have my own space lol

Exactly what I was thinking :)

I personally love WW and had an awesome leader when I went to meetings (I first started on the old Core plan and she was doing it too). I'm about to go back on the old Core program to try to get away from processed food but still count calories. If you work the program it will work for you & you are right, you can get away…

I love emealz.com! :)

Love this!

There are so many factors that come into play with loose skin after weight loss. My advice? Don't let the chance of having extra/loose skin deter you of your weight loss goal. It's way easier to hide and cope with that than the extra weight :) BTW, you can't tone loose skin but make the muscle underneath look better. Love…

It's totally possible to lose the weight without surgery! It'll be a long hard road at first but it gets easier over time :) Surround yourself with a good support system (us!) & commit to the journey :)

My first name is not normal & I married a guy with a polish last name lol My kids all have "normal" names ;) My mom is a retired nurse & one time she was working at a hospital in New Orleans when a lady came in labor. After the baby was born she delivered the placenta. She asked my mom what is that? My mom told…

I'm the oldest of 7. I have 4 brothers & 2 sisters ;) whew lol

She sounds a bit dangerous.....

Your nutritionist gave you wonderful advice.....I hope it's something you decide to follow :smile:

I love it so much that I'm going through the initial training in a couple of weeks to be able to teach BP :)

Y'all are more than welcome to add me :) I'm from New Orleans & now live about 30 minutes away on the Northshore. Very hard to eat healthy here but it's do-able! Sometimes though this girl has to have a dressed fried soft-shell crab po-boy lol

Welcome & congrats on your success so far!

For the most part I'm very happy :) I can run, skip, get up off the floor without major incident lol There is the mental aspect to it & even sometimes I think I still look like I'm 320 pounds. Those images are not as frequent anymore though! I will never forget where I came from. The love I feel for myself is from the…

I'm 5'8", 150lbs & I wear a 6/8...mainly 8's :laugh:
