Just remember it didn't take a week to gain the weight. Slow and steady is how it needs to be done. Maybe try to keep at your calories without eating back your exercise calories. My dietican told me to mix it up a bit. On day stay at my calories, the next day go a little under and one day go a little over. You need to…

Just because he doesn't want to fight it anymore isn't admitting guilt. You can only fight so much before it takes the life out of you. I see nothing wrong with him giving up the fight. But it doesn't mean that he is admitting that he is guilty. I would hate to be a celebrity no you no privacy at all.

Sometimes I would only drink my spinach smoothie as my breakfast. Then would have a snack later when I was hungry. For lunch have a grilled chicken breast with some veggies, I always eat leftovers from the night before.

That's a tough one. I could just eat all the chips and salsa and not eat anything else. I always seem to go over when I eat Mexican. It's so hard for me, its my favorite.

I will sometimes add log it into my dairy and see where it puts me. The other day I was going to eat a tootsie roll bar. When I added it in and found it was 50 calories, I decided I didn't want it that bad. I didn't want to waste 50 calories on something that wasn't going to do anything for me. I am diabetic so the other…

I have learned that I don't really hate exercise like I thought I did all these years. I have also learned that I was being delusional all these years thinking that I looked ok when I really didn't. And I love who I am and who I will continue to become.

Yes. I know that my cramps are less painful when I exercise.

After looking at your diary I think you need to add some fruits and veggies. Also there was no water logged. Do you drink water, you need to drink a lot. Aslo add some cardio and strength training to your day.

I am 5" I am not really sure where my before pictures are. My SW was 200 CW is 146. I still have a little ways to hit my GW of 130-125. I watch portion size and make sure to eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies. I also do cardio 3x a week and some sculpting 2x a week. I was diagnosed diabetic so I really watch my sugar…

My goals is to hit my goal weight of 130. Only 17 more lbs to go. Than I want to really tone up.

I too have those mornings that I don't want to exercise. In fact this morning I was fully dressed and sitting on the couch ready to start my video and thought I am tired I should go back to bed. But I told myself that since I was ready to go that I should just do it. I know for myself that if I wanted until evening I…

Some days I still think that I am really fat. Than I look at my before pictures and realize how good I look. Society has made us think that no matter how thin we are, we are fat. I know that I don't look like a model, probably never will, but I am getting to where I am happy with the person I have become. Even if I don't…

Don't give up. Every once in a while you can have some treats. This is a lifestyle change not a diet. My doctor tells me I can eat anything I want. I just have to remember moderation and not have it everyday. Pick yourself back up and get back to getting yourself healthy. You go girl.:smile:

We all go through those times in our lives. Just get back on the wagon and keep going. I too am an emotional eater anythime I would get angry or mad I would eat. But now I stop and ask myself if I really want whatever it is I'm about to eat. Usually I don't end up eating, I go do something else to keep me busy. Good luck.…

Carbs are bad for you. But you should eat the bulk of them earlier in the day. I would try to do lower carb at night. Try adding some eggs to your breakfast. I do and egg, egg white, mushrooms cooked in a wheat tortilla with salsa. Pretty satisfying.

I am exactly 5" and starting weight was 200, I am now at 146. My goal weight is 130. I am the one in the blue shirt in my profile picture. That was in April and I was about 160.

Last July when my doctor called to tell me how my blood test had went from my physical. He told me he needed me to come back in that I was diabetic. He sent me to see the dietician and put me on metformin. That was like a slap in the face. I think it was the slap in the face that I needed. I have lost 54lbs and have been…

I find that I always seem to sleep better on the days that I exercise. If you don't take care of yourself nobody else will. It sounds like your family needs you. In order to be there for them you need to take care of yourself and be healthy. We all have something going on that seems to make us derail from our healthy…

Just remember, you didn't gain all your weight in one day and you aren't going to lose it all in one day. It takes time and you just need to go day by day. Don't focus on the big number because it becomes overwhelming. Set mini goals for yourself and reward yourself when you reach them. This isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle…

Congrats. You look fabulous. I know that you can hit your 40lbs and go off the meds. It took me being diagnosed diabetic to finally realize I needed to do something about my weight. I have lost 50lbs and have been off my meds since April. You are so right in the fact that you can push the numbers down. I have mine under…

My doctor said everything in moderation. I take that to mean that I can have some corn once in a while. I won't eat it like I used to.

Try the new Yoplait greek yogurt. I like it better than any of the other ones. I can also eat the Dannon Oikos plain than add my own fruit in it.

I do the old fashion instant oats in a mug and eat it on the way to work. I boil the water for about 2 minutes add my oatmeal, some protein powder and fruit. Quick and easy. Or and egg scrambled in a wheat tortilla with salsa (only about 140 cals).

Call me old if you must.... Air Supply, The one that you love.

Try some MIO. I love water but once in a while like some flavor too. There are quite a few different flavors. No calories but does have some sodium.

Sad to say...my butt and legs. I already have no hips so my pants just sag. Not a pretty sight. My tummy is the last place to go.

I think we all hit that slump. I have weighted the same for the last 2 months and have 25 more lbs to go. The thing that keeps me in line is that I don't want to go back to the "FAT" person I was. I am by no means skinny, but I refuse to go back. I also know that if I go back that means that the diabetes is back also. I…

There is no words that describe the way you look. You are a very beautiful young lady. You are an amazing inspiration. It helps me to know that I can achieve my goals if I work hard enough. Congrats and great job.
