  • Here are some thoughts: -keep reading articles about what you want to do it helps keep the motivation high -read the success stories -if you've lost a lot of weight, go to the grocery store and load it up with bags of potatoes equalling the weight you've lost.

  • Another vote for the don't say a thing category. But I would, depending on the relationship consider a modifier to that. If I knew them really well, if we talked a lot about a lot of things, if we had a relationship in which we *often* talked about deep personal items of concern about each other then I would say what I had…

  • LOL, that happened at my house too. Only I'm the one loosing weight and this was just before a party. Hubby ran upstairs just as people were arriving, came downstairs and complained to me that I shrunk his jeans as they were too short (he's 6'6" tall and I"m 5'11"). I took one look and told him discretely to take me jeans…

  • I was a Weight Watcher until I was booted off when I became anemic. Here is a truth you may need to hear : only you can tell yourself what to eat or not to eat.

I've found really, really dependant on my available time! Right now I'm working 3 days a week and in 4th year University as well as being a Mom to 2 tweens. So for now,…

  • I've been loving this thread. I'd lost 60lbs+ on Weight Watchers but had plateaued since about November. (lost only 5 lbs from November through February). In January/February I'd been struggling so much with feeling hungry *all the time* on the points system. And then my blood iron levels crashed. I went to the doctor…

  • Because I ate too much of the wrong stuff. I did that because my life was crazy and there was little I could control but I could walk into the kitchen and cook food and goodies that everyone loved. And that comforted me. Now that I'm more aware of the crazy in my life and that some huge parts of it are at a point that can…
