I had an ex boyfriend come up to me a few years ago when I first dropped my weight. When we dated, I was around 200-220 lbs. When he saw me again, I was around 15-=170. I remember I was wearing the size 12s that I had worn in High School (I was 25 at the time). I was at the right weight for my height. He said I looked like…

One of my dear friends had a movie themed wedding at the Silent Movie Theatre in LA> The man who offifciated the ceremony came out in a purple stole and did the whole "Mawwige" speach from PB. AWESOME! I also saw the BEST tee shirt at a convention once "I am the Dreap Pirate Roberts Franchise #25463" (not the real number,…

OOPS! That should have said LEMON lime.....

My husband made me a diet leon lime soda with vanilla. YUM! But I'm thinking a green chai tea or a peppermint tea may be next.

THAT I can do!

Crap! I forgot and I just realized that its technically Wednesday! But I will do them tomorrow.

What is this self esteem that you speak of? I think my self esteem was so low for so long that it was noirmal for me.....which led me to eat more...and yeah, you see where this is going. I think the one thing that really helped me was my husband and the way he has always found me beautiful. And I work Renaissance Faire in…

Push ups? My nemesis, push ups.... That was the ONE exercise I couldn't do for the Presidential Fitness challenge. I know I cant to 200, BUT I'll challenge myself tomorrow to doing 25. Not bad considering that the last time I did pushups, Clinton was still in office....... 25, you're on!

Attitude...dealt with kids (and kids at heart!) all day....

Mine can hold a leek if I'm in a Faire Bodice.......And money and a cell phone (out of sight, of course) and a Shakespeare finger puppet. At faire they become my extra pocket.

There's always spaghetti squash as noodles. YUM!

GAH! Always...jeans are tighter and my fingers swell. Well, used to swell. I lost 20 lbs and when that happened this month, I had NONE of my usual signs, besides being cranky.

That's ok, I lost mine going upstairs to clock into work. And I work with kids!!!!!!

Hey Heather, glad you are aboard!

Plain yougurt (I ADORE the generic greek yogurt from Wally World, and Volkos is good too) with some oat bran and fruit is great in the morning. You can doctor the yogurt and oat bran up with sweetener, vanilla and cinnamon and it keeps me full for a good chunk of the day. I also eat 1/2 c. sugar free jello for desert every…

Oh, and I love: Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, keep my voice low, be courteous, criticize not one bit. I won’t find fault…

It may not seem motivational to most people, but it is to me: “Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.”- C.S. Lewis And I love : Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says "Oh Crap, She's up!"

Hey, I feel your pain. But if you do the little things (like park farther away, chair dance when your on the web, etc...) you will drop the weight.

*giggle*:laugh:

*giggle* :laugh:

Oh that and I can reach more of my upper back thighs when I shave my legs. Hey, its the little things that make me happy.

I can wrap my thumb and middle finger of my left hand around my right wrist and they touch. I can wrap my thumb and middle finger of my right hand around my left wrist and they are less that a quarter inch from touching. Also, my favorite slip on shoes slip off a bit too easily

If you only knew how many times I go to do something myself and have a guy do it for me.... of course, that only happens when the car breaks down and I am in my pajamas after picking my husband up OR if I am all dolled up for a night out, complete with my damned good smelling perfume...or if I am having a problem at…

I'll request you too. I came back recently and its nice to have people watching out for me and me watching out for them!

Hi, I am in CEA HOW. I just started back about 2 weeks ago. As you could probably tell by the foods I'm tracking (Can you guys see that on my page) I'm still in the beginning. One of the things I need to do is reach out to others. Since I'm on here and Facebook a lot, I figured that seeing if there was extra support on…

Hey theer....I am almost 6 foot and my weight makes me look dumpy, if you can believe it....If you need a buddy, go ahead and add me.....:-D <3

A very good friend of mine had to give up Splenda because the stuff was giving her and her husband severe headaches. I cant use Sweet n Low, personally (it tastes terrible!), but Equal and Splenda are my poisions. Oh, that and Diet Dr. Pepper.

My small thing was being able to run 10 yads to the bathroom....KEEP IT UP! :-D

Hey! Oh honey, do I ever sympathise with you. I went thru some programs to help me work with my food issues, but they keep creeping back up. The food allergy dosent elp, either. Just remember that there are people who are also struggling! Take it one day, one step at a time and you can work with it. Love:flowerforyou:…

Hey! I am new on here and have noone (well, except some peeps of Facebook who "Like" every time I update on here!) on here for support. And, being thru several eatting programs and loosing 100+ lbs (and gaining it back over 10 years), I know how important support is. Add me and we can keep an eye on each other!!!
