What exactly do you mean by when you quit dieting? Losing weight should not be about dieting, it is about changing your lifestyle. If you quit dieting you are most likely going to gain back the weight. If you continue to eat healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle you won't. Congrats on being close to your goal weight and…

Only salad with a cup of beans and all the fruit you can eat. When you do this one you will lose at least 5 lbs a week.

Love it, that is awesome.

Happy Birthday. Never deny yourself anything. My doctor told me everything in moderation. This is a lifestyle change and not a diet. Have a wonderful dinner and a treat today and get back on track tomorrow.

You look amazing. Thanks for sharing your awesome story with us. You have helped to motivate me.

I too am an emotional eater, always have been. I like to drown my sorrow in food. My new attack is to go to the gym and take my frustration out on what every piece of equipment that I can. When I am done I don't feel like eating anymore. I also try to take a step back and remind myself how far I have come and do I want to…

Almond joys, peanut M&M's and cinnamon bears are my downfall.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. You can't change people. He doesn't deserve you and you definitely deserve someone who loves you for who you are. If he really loves you he wouldn't care so much about what his family thinks. I don't think that my family will ever approve of anybody that I am with. As…

I want one of everything please, except the coffee and beer.

I gave mine away. As soon as they didn't fit me I put them in a bag. I ended up with 3 bags of clothes that I gave to a neighbor who is less fortunate. They were able to use all of the clothes that I gave them. I have a few shirts that I do wear around the house to clean in. My daughter continues to tell me that I should…

Shemar Moore, he is so HOT.

I agree, you look fabulous in it.

I find that it is easy for people to point out that you need to lose weight, but aren't as quick to say anything when you have lost it. My brothers and parents were the same way. I have always been the biggest one in my family. Not one of them said anything about my weight loss. When I called my one brother out all he said…

I love my legs they are the first place that I lose weight.

You look fabulous. Keep up the good work.

You can always make oatmeal cookies 2 bananas 1 cup oatmeal Mix together and bake @ 350 for 15 mins. I usually add in a little peanut butter and a few chocolate chips. It makes 3-5 cookies depending on the size. I really like these. Greek yogurt String Cheese Spinach smoothies (spinach, fruit, greek yogurt and protein…

I agree with the being cold. I was always the one in the office that was hot all the time. The other ladies would say that they were cold, I would tell them that was because they had no meat on their bones. This winter I was the once complaining about being cold. The other thing is that I lose weight on my bottom half…

Some days I have to have a talking to myself about going. Like this morning, I told myself I would go after work. However I know that I wouldn't because I have other obligations after work. So I made myself get up and go. The other thing that makes it easy for me is that I go with my daughter. It is easier to go if you…

I like the Biggest Loser, the Firm and Turbo Jam. The Firm has one that is a combination of cardio and weights. I get a really good work out from it. Go to your local library and see what they have. That way you can try them out and see if you like them.

I live in Utah and really didn't mind the snow until this year. We have had quite a few crappy driving days and I have to commute to work. After all the shoveling of snow this year I have decided that I don't really care for the snow anymore. There were days that we got about 12 inches of snow. When I retire it will be…

Age 44 mom of 2 5' SW 200 CW 155 GW 125-130 Anybody can add me :)

If I don't have time in the morning I just take my breakfast to work. I will measure out my oatmeal and put it in a mug, when I get to work I add the water and microwave. I also like the smoothie idea. Plus boiled eggs are great with any kind of fruit, apples, bananas even grapefruit. Also premade pb & j's are great for on…

I crave chocolate really bad starting a couple days before. I also crave Limon Lays potato chips, those awful things. I usually don't exercise because I get horrible cramps. However yesterday I did exercise and my cramps weren't as bad last night as they were the night before. I also sleep with a heating pad to help with…

Being diagnosed diabetic.

July 2011 when I was diagnosed diabetic. Earlier that year my dad had a stroke, mostly caused due to be diabetic. I decided that wasn't going to happen to me. I started at 200lbs and am now 150lbs. I still have a ways to go. I was able to get off my medication in April of 2012 and I refuse to go back on it.

I want to lose between 25-30 to get to my goal weight. Feel free to add me.

Make sure you are drinking enough water, also I find when I have the urge to eat and am not hungry, I chew on gum. I eat when I get bored so chewing gum really helps me. But I understand how you feel, I get out of my routine on the weekend also. I have a really hard time on the weekends staying under my calories.

Shemar Moore. He is so HOT!!!!

Drink a glass of water, also a chewing a piece of gum usually defers me from eating.
