Just remember that while weight it the easiest way to see that you are "healthier" its NOT ALL about the weight. Make a list of the things you had trouble with before you started exercising and eating right.... how many of them are either gone or lots better? How about the workout that you just barely made it through when…

Good for you!! For me, when I got to the point where it's a deliberate choice of what I decide to eat. Either leaving the calories or making the decision to eat them, that is when my goal to loose weight became obtainable. I wasn't just "going with the flow" I was deciding and acting on those decisions. Great Willpower and…

Congrats! You should get specifics from your doctor, and consider going to a nutrion specialist. In general however, It's even more important to eat the RIGHT choices. In pregnancy it's not how many extra calories should I eat, its about adding specific nutrients that a pregnant body needs. That just happen to add calories…

This is all assumptions, however, the mentioned jealousy of your success could be compounded by... women who are insecure do not feel that they are worth loving. Your success may be triggering the thought that now you are looking better you are going to be looking for someone else? When people start looking at their lives…

Your hubby says he sees a difference in inches, well how about doing some measurements? Clothes can fit different on different days so don't make that the conclusion. Take out an acutal tape measureer and measure you. Then you have numbers to compare, not just I think. Sometimes you can see a difference in the inches way…

Thanks so much for some great things to think about. I'm just starting out, and I'm determined to not think of this as a diet or even as "loosing weight". I'm trying to get in the mind frame that I am getting healthier, and that's going to take a while. To that end, I appreciated the knowledge that even light weights will…

I was actually thinking about this today. I had put on a shirt and realized how tight it was, then I thought great I'm not going to get the "loose" clothes feeling for a while. I'm going to have clothes that aren't as tight yes, but it's going to be a long time before I see loose clothes. I've been limiting my clothing…

The good news is it sounds like your kids are old enough to understand and maybe help with the plan. If they don't already do chores, maybe they can do something to help you gain that 30min. If they do, maybe something can be re worked to allow you. Don't think of this as being selfish and don't let anybody guilt trip you…

I can't see your weight, but I'm in the same boat. This is my first week on the site and I'm just starting by being honest with myself. I'm concentrating on my diet right now, yes I want to work out. I know that eventually I will NEED to work out. But right now, putting less calories in my mouth is a big accomplishment.…

I use it more for the negative reinforcement. I don't like looking at it when it says that I would weigh more then I do currently in 5wks. I started this journey because I passively gained 10lbs in 2months doing nothing. I know that the negative of the statement is VERY true. So I don't care really how little it says I…

I tried weight watchers, I liked it. But for me a program that just counts calories makes more sense. It's easier for me to "see" what I should and shouldn't eat. I ALWAYS cheated on WW, because I didn't equate those points to real food. It was easier to cheat and fool myself. Basically it's the same program= eat right,…

LOL, I can't stand Diet Coke. Though Coke Zero is actually ok. I find that if I"m going to drink a diet soda the ones with cherry flavoring in them actually taste better to me. Though I love coke, and understand totally how hard it is to give up. Right now... I drink water with those little flavor packets in them. I let…
