how did you do? When is your wedding?

Bobbi Jo Thank you so much for sharing your experience and what worked for you. I think we all go along not really noticing things like you said what we look like and the changes that are happening. You made me think about things. Good for you and I appreciate so much that you also shared your philosophy. You are an…

I hope your daughter is okay. Praying for you guys. Barbara

Hi Everyone, New to site but feel very comfy here. You sound like lovely, caring ladies. I am from Redondo Beach CA and am 50+ My prayers to all that are having a difficult time right now. Just started again to deal with my extra weight. It seemed to slowly creep back on. I previously lost 50 lbs and gained back 20 of…

I am also going to lose weight for my wedding in September 2014. I would like to lose about 40 lbs but if I am able to lose 30 lbs by then that would be great. Good luck to everyone!!

Hi, Yes I have big calves and they did get smaller when I lost weight. When I had a trainer he recommended certain exercises and advised not to add incline to the treadmill because I tend to "bulk up". But ultimately he said do you want muscular legs and be thin or smaller legs and be larger. I choose the latter and I am…

I didn't post the original post but I have the same issues. What is even worse is that I am a nurse and know what this can do because I also have diabetes and high blood presssure. But after a while the cravings are more important. Thank you for your suggestion, I will take it and make myself open to others. You may be…

You look great! and you're an inspiration for me since I am your hgt and weigh 159. Thanks for posting!!

You are doing great! I know personally how tough it is to handle situations without food. So proud of you. You look beautiful.

I am also in the same boat with you. I have been exercising and then I feel the need to have something that is not on my meal plan and Poof!! I go down hill. But I am going to improve and start new now. So let's do it.

Thanks for sharing that great advice. It seems common sense however, I set limits on myself as well and you are correct it is a lifestyle change.

That must have felt wonderful! Good for you!

Great job!!

I am very happy for you and in your picture you look so happy. Congrats!! Great job. Thank you for sharing!

Great Job!! I am so happy for you. It seems strange that sometimes we hate clothes but lose a little weight and they look great on us. Thanks for sharing.

I can tell the difference, You look great!!

Wow, You are a great inspiration and motivator. And you look beautiful. I just did the Revlon Walk for breast cancer this weekend. Great job at raising funds for breast cancer.

Good job, it's the small steps that will get you to your goal! Keep it up!!

Will add you now, I need buddies!! We will do it!!

Count me in, altthough I was only able to do 15 today. I will increase right along with you.

I think it's great that you are aware of your need to talk about what bugs you and recognizing that you are an emotional eater. I do agree with you that in order to go the next step and get married or even continue on the relationship you have now, he needs to start dealing with what is bothering him. The lack of trust he…

Count me in. Just started again and will be out there playing paddle tennis this summer hopefully swimming at the beach too. I also need motivation, I live one block from the beach and would love to have the body I had before and be as competitive as I used to be.

I'm 5'4" I would like my goal to be 130-135. I have been 142 and gained the weight back. I am planning to get to 130-135 and stay there this time. I have 38 lbs to go,

You are looking great!! Thanks for the inspiration, I am trying everything including increase exercise and still no weight loss. I will still keep going even though I feel discouraged sometimes. Keep up the great work you are doing.

Good for you!! You look beautiful!
