Diddo on that, the summers here in Ga are brutal!! :grumble: I love Halloween!! I get to buy cute costumes and dress the kids up :bigsmile: Plus right around the corner from that is Christmas my favorite holiday!!

You really are such an inspiration to me :heart: :bigsmile:

No way!! :noway: I'm gonna kill this one :wink:

Ok I've posted, and I bet the thread dies:grumble: . I stopped posting for a long time because I thought no one liked me :laugh:

:laugh: I'll remember that next time my kids are bouncing off the wall!

It doesn't hurt to change up your routine every once in a while. It keeps your body on it's toes, so to speak, and you end up losing. :wink:

I completely know how you feel. In January I went to see my Dr. because my knees and legs hurt so bad I could barely stand. When I got there and stepped on the scale it said 320 lbs. I was like OMG!! How did this happen to me? That day the Dr. suggested that I have gastric bypass also. I left the Dr. still in shock and…

You should definately be eating 1200 calories a day if you don't exercise..and on the days you do exercise you should eat more then that. Everyone will tell you to eat your exercise calories, but usually I only eat about half of them and it still works for me. Hope that helps :heart:

Couldn't have said it better myself :bigsmile:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

Thank you so much to all of you :heart: It's kind of hard to feel alone when so many of you are going threw the same things as me. Maybe I'm just in a funk I don't know. After reading all these kind words I did sit back and look at how far I've come. Please keep me in your prayers and I'll do the same for the each of you…

Thanks for the advice and thanks for letting me know I can talk to you :heart: Nobody really realizes how hard this can be or in some cases how lonely you can feel.

Me and the Hubby watch every Sunday :bigsmile: It's the only reason we have HBO :laugh:

Your in Atlanta right? If your anywhere close to Forrest Park go the the farmers market there. It's huge!! They have all kind of ppl selling healthy fruits and veggies for not a lot of money. You could probably get a weeks worth of food for $20 bucks. I hope this helps, and I hope thing work out for you :heart:

I named her Audree Marie. She really is the coolest kid..Mommy's little drama queen :laugh: but I wouldn't trade being a Mom to her and her brother for anything in the world :heart:

Audrey but I spelled it Audree :heart:

It is so funny that you guys are talking about Sesame Street...because I am so rockin my Oscar the Grouch t-shirt today! :laugh: :heart: By the way love the pic finally4me....that's who my daughter is named after :flowerforyou:

57 lbs. since Jan. 09 :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Good luck on droppin the pounds :bigsmile: I also started over 300 lbs. but it can be done if you think of it as a life style change and not just another diet :flowerforyou:

Maybe your body is craving something and it's just not sure what it is yet

I confess that I'm really frustrated about not losing any weight in the past three weeks even though I have worked my butt off :grumble: So I ate a giant bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup :heart: I don't even feel guilty about it :bigsmile:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :wink:

Maybe she just has some issues going on in her life right now, and she doesn't realize you have these feelings. Try talking to her..maybe she could use a few words of encouragement :flowerforyou:

So if your body goes into starvation mode how long does it take to recover and start losing again?

Don't you love it when the measuring tape slides a little smaller :bigsmile: :heart:

Maybe I'll go back to eating something before I walk and see if that makes a difference and budges the scale. I may not be eating enough either. I never eat my exercise calories, and maybe that's why I'm stuck :ohwell: IDK. Thanks everyone for your input :flowerforyou:

Thanks :heart:

Welcome :heart: We're so happy to have you with us :flowerforyou: You'll find an awesome support system here, and lots of ppl with great advice to help you get threw :bigsmile: Good luck!!

I agree go out and go for a walk. A little fresh air never hurts, and it will get your mind off things. My hubby works more then he's at home and I find that a walk helps the time pass more quickly.:flowerforyou:

Welcome :heart: I'm a Ga girl too..good luck! :flowerforyou:
