43 yr old Canadian woman, mom of 4, who has been toe-in the line of diabetic for years has finally nudged myself over the line. I have some ultrasounds and blood work to do then my dr is going to start me on ozempic. I'm excited and nervous. I've been struggling with my weight for 20+ yrs. The majority of my family is…

Welcome back. I hear ya on the yoyo. I'm also back. You got this!

I'm also trying the low carb/Mediterranean style eating with regular exercise (when my back isn't being a pain). I am hoping to see results in my blood sugar at the end of the month. Been changing my way of eating for months but getting it done this Feb. This is what was suggested to me.

been inactive for a while in the weight loss department, working on the new year new me! Would love more active friends. Female 38 next monday - 4 kids & about 65-80 lbs to lose & I am married!

Looking for more motivating friends! Was on here 4 years ago - lost 60 lbs over the last 4 years my life was turned upside down with kids, my health, parents health, a move & lots of usual stuff. Almost back up to my precious weight & ready for a new beginning!

I gave my daughter a book called The Period Book, about that age. I told her the basics. Told her to read the rest in her time & we would talk about it. She is almost 12 yrs old now & will often come to me with weird questions. Could have been triggered by something she heard or saw. The best is to be honest.

Some invites are Reception ONLY then its ok. But if you have been invited to the wedding it would be rude to only go to the reception.

You sound a lot like me! In 2012 I lost 62 lbs - I have since gained some back on the plateau I had been on since July of 2012. I don't know what has changed...but this week the weight has started to come off. I have upped my calories & decreased my exercise due to a leg injury. Now I am still walking anywhere from 5-14…

Okay I do it with 3 lb weights -- I am 5' 6" - 184 lbs & I burn 463 calories in the 56 mins. I do everything the hard way no easy way here

Wow I look bad - can you tell I am running on no sleep, sick & chased 4 kids around all day?? Thank you all for your kind words. Not there yet but I am getting there & getting there fast.

I am a shake girl -- I use to only eat 1 meal a day & lots of unhealthy snacking at night. So now I have a yogurt - berry - protein powder shake for breakfast Almonds for a morning snack & sometimes a piece of fruit Lunch milk & chocolate protein powder for lunch & fruit and or veggies for lunch Afternoon snack - if hungry…

Put a dvd in player and press play! Or the wii -- Just Dance - Zumba - EA Sports & EA more sports.

Go with one that does BF% - BM% & BW%. B'c I have been doing the whole scale thing for months - not a huge difference Until today when I got a good scale -- then I saw that the scale hadn't moved a huge amount but my body fat had gone down 26.29 lbs of PURE FAT in 3 months & I had gained 18 lbs of pure muscle -

79 calorie margarita to begin with Then to Vodka & diet sprite & shots

January 14th here I saw the 15th but not mine :D

Kitchener - Waterloo - Ontario - Canada.

I have 4 kids - no gym membership. I have lost 65 lbs in 8 months. How? Eat properly. And exercise at home. I walk with my kids - spent all summer pushing a double stroller or having my youngest in a back pack on my back walking the neighbouring streets. I am sure many ppl thought I was crazy. I have a wii -- I do EA Games…

Married 19 yrs old -- married my high school sweetheart our 1st summer in college 1st child - 21 yrs old 2nd child - 25 yrs old 3rd child - 27 yrs old 4th child (and last) - 30 yrs old

Gavin. I have always loved the name

you know how you do it? You just do... and why b'c this is a lifestyle change - NOT A DIET. And yes you will have amazing workout days with great food intake And you will have lazy days with terrible food - but you log it all - move on & keep going.

You DO NOT have to cut out bread. You do not have to cut out ANYTHING. You just need to make sure it's in your alloted macros & move forward. I drink - eat pasta - bread - whatever I want. And I have lost 62 lbs in 6 months. So you know what enjoy your bread. And enjoy your fruit & veggies.

Fantastic Job! I too started my journey March 5th. I am down similar to you. I didn't before pictures - so it's nice to see the huge difference on other people.

Butterball low sodium is my fav. Everyone in my family says it tastes like rubber but I can't stand to eat real bacon & all the fat on it. Makes me gag.

Everyone will say -- open your diary so we can see so we can suggest. My suggestion HIGH PROTEIN -- High Fiber - both keep you fuller longer & even though maybe higher in calories could possibly reduce your hunger.

Well the kids are back to school this week - so I need to find my house & find routine again. Lots of walking & drinking as much water as I can.

You are such an inspiration. I myself started this journey March 5th - in 5 months I lost 62 lbs. August I have lost all motivation and gained back a few lbs but I start again fresh Sept 6th. Thank you for your story.

KW here :D

Add me - I am here everyday - 31 yr old mother of 4 kids - never stop moving- always here to support everyone.

I think you look the most healthiest in the last picture - you look sickly skinny in that middle picture you want to get back to you! And yes this is coming from the skinny girl turned fat & trying to be skinny again. I think no you look awesome. So honestly be happy with who you are....
