It is all about the confidence. Before I lost weight I wanted to disappear into the woodwork. I wanted to be invisible and have no one notice me. As I got more confident, I developed more of a spark. Now I have quite a bit of confidence and get noticed. Prime example...last year I used to walk down the hallway and NO one…

i couldn't believe it myself when I got measured. I am like REALLY. wow.. The smallest band size I *might* get down to is a 36. I have some backfat that goes away with more weight loss. I have ribs..and they won't go away.

Hi all, I am AppendixQHLover on COTH. I also know Duckz in real life. She is tall and her horse Linc is AWESOME. A year ago I lost 75 lbs and got down within 15 lbs of my UGW. However, in September I moved out of my house with ex hubby. I also started dating someone. I consumed a bit to much wine and gained about 20 back.…

Hmmm... 1. Build up my CORE muscles. I really need to use them more when riding the big guy. He works my entire body. 2. Get his canter more refined and giving more. 3. Get his upward transistion into the canter within a couple of steps..not entire ring. 4. Doing T-2 with him this fall. We are starting with Intro A & B in…

OH I do have a rag doll that my grandmother gave me. She has been resewed so many times. Poor doll has had surgery. Now she sits on my shelf and is there. I have had her since I was like 8. Um the doll is 32.

Barbies - hands down. I could play with them for hours. My brothers would scalp them or take heads off. Model horses

I try to stay away from red meat. It tears up my stomach big time. IF I eat it, it is the leanest of red meat. I keep egg whites (filling meal), 99% Fat free ground turkey, chicken tenderloins etc on hand. I do a lot of frozen veggies during the winter. Also salad.

I am in trouble..no butt to speak off. No hips. All I have is cleavage.

No because most likely I would throw out my back. I have picked up 35 lb bags of pet food and been struggling. I can't imagine holding two of them at a time. And I wonder why my feet and legs hurt so much...hmmm...

It's Complicated Runaway Train

No I have seen grown men doing that. It is like..really it didn't fall off.

Having one special needs child is hard enough but having two is even harder. I would say stay together for the kids but that just causes more issues with the kids. Having special needs kids makes it worse...they pick up on your aniexty and discomfort. That can make them have more issues with the special needs. Go to…

Don't feel bad. The guy that I was dating decided to go back with his ex2be for the 6th time. She has left him 5 other times for different men and yet keeps comping back for more. This is the 2nd time he has done this to me and the last. IF he wants to get back with me, he will have to work at it. He needs to have his…

Stop comparing yourself to others. I am extremely critical of myself and my looks. When I do my hair, makeup and wear nice clothes it makes a difference. I also dislike bathing suits but it is a fact of going to the beach.

I understand believe me. My stomach is killing me today...and in a few days that pain will go away. I just keep pushing the water because that will help detox my body of the bad. I need to have the same dedication and will power that I had when I started. I hit goal already once and binged up some. I caught it before it…

The nice part about Medifast is that you can pick it up again. Granted it is harder the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time around. You just have to white knuckle through the first few days and get to the fatburning stage. My biggest hurdle is wine. I have been drinking to much of it. I need to stop drinking wine on the weekends..it is…

Mine has gotten 100x better than it used to be. I can go days without having a binge temptation. Last summer I left my hubby. Once the divorce process started I had things coming at me left & right. It was a constant barrage of stressors coming on my plate. I was going to therapy at that time so it helped. When I moved, I…

1. Anixety/Stress 2. Lonileness 3. Watching people eat food I can't (stuff with gluten) 4. Skinny friends 5. Shopping on empty stomach

Ummm...this was a while ago... I was doing WW Fasttrack. Only 1000 calories. I was in a spin class and all of the sudden passed out. Fell off the bike and was out. I drank OJ and stopped doing the fasttrack thing.

I work long hours...most days going in at 6 or 630 and working until 4 or 430. I go right to the gym after work. I don't bother going home first because I will give 50 excuses why I can't. Your schedule of 9-5..I would love that...I also go in on weekends when I get paged. What do you do when you get home from work?

Let's see I had several: I saw pictures from a horse show and couldn't believe how bad I looked. It was hot..and I didn't want to wear a coat. Later that year I went to another dressage show and wore my coat. I almost died of heat exhaustion... I went to PV, Mexico. I went zip lining and there was lots of hiking involved.…

You can't change him, but you can change how you react to his behavior. My ex2be was the same way. He liked me chubby because I was shy and a total introvert. I mean hide in the background so no one notices me. Now I am very extroverted and don't hide. I have an outgoing personality that was hidden for so very long. I got…

Hi, My name is Katie and I have a binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating. Some background: I grew up with a mother who didn't have a good relationship with food either. I learned some of my behavior from her. When I had a cookie, it wouldn't be just one. It would be a whole row of cookies. I would start obsessing…

I have to shower..it is how I wake up in the AM.

I fight cravings all the time. My scale has been stuck because of myself and slipping. Today is the first day that I am 100% OP. It is mostly because my stomach revolted last night and I swore that I would do it right. That is when my stomach is happiest.

My closet looks like a clothes explosion right now. I buy things every few weeks. I shop mostly at Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross. I buy a lot of things on clearance racks. I did the thrift store thing for quite a long time when I was dropping a size every few weeks. I also had a ton of clothes from before. Now my size is…

Roll out of bed after the alarm clock has gone off. Stand in the shower trying to wake up. Get dressed, take my dog out for his morning walk. At that point he is usually bouncing off the wall with needing to go out. He is lazy..while I shower and dress he will stay in the bed. Come back pack my food for the day, put…

Hmmm... People that don't wipe the machines down. EWW On the cardio the guy that sounds like he is getting some because he is working hard. That is what I get for NO ipod. I have a spin bike at home that I use when lazy or excess energy. I live on the first floor, and open the window. Nothing like the teenaged boys in the…

IT Project Manager. Basically herd cats sometimes.... I love what I do for the most part. Right now is down time..so I am enjoying it. It will start getting hectic soon. Just waiting for feedback from several outside vendors. I am working on my PMP-Agile certification right now in downtime.

Usually beating people helps with the anger. (kidding). What type of things are you craving? For salt I will have a yummy claussen pickle.
