Oh and just so i don't confuse anyone, my husband is very supportive. He just wanted me to do it, not surgically.

I don't have any pictures and I am by no means done yet. I officially started my journey August 24, 2012. I have fluctuated weight for years and went on WW once and was doing well. My dad died January 2011. I fell into a terrible depression and rapidly gained weight by stuffing my emotions with food. I peaked at 247 in…

I was able to get over the frenzy i was feeling yesterday by meditating. Once i got calmed down i was able to really process what i was feeling and regain control. Ultimately i decided i am in charge not my emotions and that seemed to seal it. Thanks for the input. Today is a better day.

I dont make my own but i found maple grove sugar free raspberry vinaigrette. Its great and only 5 calories per 2 tbsp. I was worried itd be tart without sugar but its not. My five yo even likes it.

I am glad you posted this comment. I was beginning to feel like I was a freak and becoming obsessed with my scale. I have the same feeling that what if my weigh day is on a fluctuation up. And I have noticed it happen. Had I not known that two days prior I was less, I might have been quite discouraged. So yes, I weigh…

I had a series of mortifying events. My husband and I went to get life jackets and I had to buy one that was bigger than his! I cried as I left the store. Then the next day we went out on the lake. As we were coming to the dock, my husband asked me to toss out the rope. When I tried to reach between the windows (the…

I am an oilfield wife too. And have been for 12years. I have had to learn over the years that holidays don't have to happen on the holiday itself. We learned to plan for it and be ready then the closest day he had off we would celebrate. It is an adjustment and after we were married i became a nurse which further…

I'm glad I am not the only one stressing about this. I do feel better knowing I have a plan. My daughter has been so supportive. She says that my confidence is building and I seem happier. She told me that she doesn't want me to go back to the way I was and loves what I am doing for myself. She said that she will help me…

My sister and I are the cooks in the family so we always provide the meal. We are deciding on some ground rules. 1. We will workout in the morning and take an additional walk in the afternoon/evening. 2. Instead of making pumpkin pies and pumpkin cake rolls we will make individual sized pumpkin cream cheese whoopie pies…

I think they are coming back on in January. Not sure why so late.

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. :smile:

You can put epsome salts in your bath water too. That usually helps. Works great for my daughter too.

I am always looking for friends! I think I may be overqualified on the fluffy though! :tongue:

Thanks for sharing. I am putting off trying to get pregnant until next summer so I have time to reach my goal but I have been fearful that I will only get to enjoy my goal for a short time if I get pregnant again so I argue with myself all the time. Thanks for giving me some hope!

I lost 11 lbs with it and my energy and endurance went up so i was ready for a more challenging dvd by the end of the four weeks. Good luck with it!

@dballski - I am trying tofu for the very first time. Do you have a great recipe you would recommend for a newbie?? :happy:

I started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred today. I survived day 1! I am really excited about all this. I went back home in August and I haven't been back. I didn't tell anyone that I was working on losing weight. People back there are not the most encouraging sometimes and since I have failed the mission before I feel like…

LOL. Well I guess it's just good to know I am not the only one. I do agree. I feel awful on days I don't work out! The last two days I haven't been able to get away from work long enough to do my hard work outs. Tomorrow is another day! Thanks for the responses!:smile:

Thanks for sharing!! You look incredible and seeing your success is such an inspiration for me.

You are awesome!! And I would bet that no one is judging you. If someone is watching you, it is out of admiration of your hardwork and determination. Don't sell yourself short!

I need the extra boost! Thanks for starting it!

I am not on any special diet. I am trying to follow the 40/30/30 format which has been a little trickier than I expected but I have lost 12 lbs on it so far. I am also doing combinations of cardio and strength training. I feel like 14 lbs by thanksgiving is a reasonable goal!

227.4

I am just starting too. I have about 60 lbs to lose. I started a while back but dropped it, started again and dropped it again. Then one day something just clicked and now I have been at it for several weeks and am seeing results, which is motivation in itself. I needed some time for self reflection I guess before I…

I am new here as well. I am still trying to learn how to use all the features. You can add me as a friend if you like.
