Oh how I wish my sister would read this thread. She's getting married in June and I am her matron of honor, my 2 oldest girls are jr. maids of honor, my youngest daughter is jr bridesmaid, and my son is an usher. That is 5 outfits to pay for. When I told her I had put back $800.00 as my budget for everything I needed for…

In a bar. We were both in the Navy and only 19.

215.6

1st week = 222.6 5th week = 216.8

I am having the same problem. I am 12 down and can't really tell the difference. My clothes fit a little better but not really seeing anything happen. Worse yet, no one else has noticed either. :grumble:

I was wondering the same thing.

217.6

I'm intrigued.

I quit over 5 months ago. My husband and I smoked together, me for 18 years, him for over 20. I was able to quit. Unfortunately this was not his time and he picked it back up. The quit smoking timetable was a huge motivator for me. In fact I still keep a copy in my purse and read it when I get the bad cravings. (Yes it is…

My sister met her boyfriend on Match.com about a year and a half ago. My whole family loves him. They're getting married in June of this year. Me ... I met my husband the old fashioned way ... in a bar.

I soooooo needed this one today. Just the boot in the behind I was looking for. Thanks!

I used Phentermine also a while back. I lost 35 pounds but it all came back when I stopped taking it. I never changed my eating habits though. The meds just made me jittery and I had no appetite. So when I stopped taking it, I was lazy and all my hunger came back. That's just my experience though. I'm sure many have had…

I have been told that more than I care to admit. In fact, I am told almost daily that I'm not attractive at all. He makes fat jokes, calls me Moose, tells me that the sun and time have not been kind to me. Unfortunately he is someone I have to work very close with. Sure I could report it but that would mean that I have to…

My husband inspires me to lose weight. That doesn't mean I'm losing weight FOR him or because he wants me to. He loves me for who I am right now. Not once has he ever called me out on my weight. So when I see the marriages of all my friends and family fall apart so frequently, I realize how blessed I am to have a…

Me too! I love the look of a great healed boot but I get that same towering feeling. I admire the women who can. My small 2" heels make me 6'2" and I then have look down at my husband.

I got to 220.6 this week. That takes me from obese to overweight.

222.2 again this morning. Time to focus.

I'm Amy. I'm 37 with 4 kids (15,13,10,9) and a husband. We live in WV (where I'm from) but moved here about 2 years ago from Nebraska (where he's from). I work a desk job as a planning clerk. My sister who is 10 years younger than me is getting married in June. I really want to look good at her wedding.

I am 6 ft tall and 222 pounds.

Sure. I'm already in a challenge so 2 would be extra motivation!

wave143j I was a hospital corpsman in the Navy and in the old days they used to call Navy nurses "waves" which I liked better than "doc" like I was called. 143 is the geeky little way my husband used to sign his letters to me when we were dating to say I love you. J is for Jeff, my husband of 16 years. Hence wave143j.

I was once trying on a sweater that was too tight and I said to my hubby, "I need to lose some weight". In his most loving way he says, "What man wants to drive a little car when he can drive a truck?!". I didn't know whether to hug him for attempting to compliment me or smack him for obvious reasons. Oh well, I love him…

Me too please!!

I am a former Navy Hospital Corpsman. It was a dream job. Feel free to add me.

I really needed this reminder today. Thank you for posting.

I started just a little while ago too. Not losing much yet but considering the amount of temptation there is around me at this time of year, I figure even an ounce lost is a win. Please feel free to add me (any of you).

I'm 6' 0" and after reading some of these posts, I have a new outlook on heels. I've always shied away from them (especially since my husband is exactly my height). I may just go get those high heeled boots I saw the other day.

Good luck to you. I need to lose about the same and I started just last Tuesday. Feel free to add me as a friend.
