I'm in.. from what I read I think I can learn more from you... you are a strong woman :flowerforyou:

omg Kerry... if I could rewind 14yrs of my life ... that would be me all over again... I was 24 when I had my son (he is now 14 yrs old) and I was a tiny person... my weight would fluctuate between 111-115 lbs and I gained a total of 85 lbs during my pregnancy... but it was a great experience :smile: it's hard to get back…

She is a good cousin... this site has helped me lose 12 lbs so far... but I have so much more to go..I also have medical conditions and losing the weight would definitely help... good luck on your journey... hoping to see this place give you results as well :smile:

I am 160lbs but I am really short 5'1.5" (yeah.. the 0.5 makes a difference :tongue: ) so you can totally see the extra weight around my midsection... my upper arms... oh and back fat.. yes.. back fat... this is probably TMI but I could probably put my bra on backwards and my hubby would just talk to the back of head... my…

omg.. congratulations on your graduate degree.. can definitely relate.. I have one 14yr old son and when I earned my degree by going to night school.. there were some days where I would question if that was the right thing... so many times I had to rush home and help my son out with one day projects and then rush to night…

totally agree... this is a lifestyle change... this time around I just don't want to lose weight so I can look decent in the family reunion pics or for a wedding... etc.. :flowerforyou:

it's probably still to early for some.. plus it's a Friday :wink: sent you a request

this is great info... I am doing a lot of things incorrectly in my journey to weight loss.. thank you so much for sharing :smile:

what really helps me is to enter my meals the night before and motivate myself to stick to them as much as possible by coming to the community part and reading the success stories and catching up on all the great tips and advise provided here... good luck and welcome here :smile:

can you add like a bran muffin and maybe some sliced fruit to go along with your oatmeal instead? I ask this because my downfall is cake and icing... and donuts and every time I try to just have a portion I end up overindulging... whatever it is you choose to hit your goal just make it a good one... :flowerforyou:

I guess I wasn't the only one.... I have noticed that on the days I lose control on my carb and fat intake I become so fatigued... literally feel like I am carrying gallons of water around my waist and legs... it happens to all of us... it's a long journey... so just take it as a "this is exactly what I don't want to do"…

amen to that! Never look back! You look amazingly beautiful...

tell me about it... mine are not armpits.. they are pitted baggies of fat that fall right out over my bra! augggh.. congratulations on yours!

wow! your eyes look so much bigger.. by the way you have beautiful eyes... and your chin and cheek area is where I can totally see the difference... great work!

excellent work! I can see major changes on your entire core... you have a beautiful face and with all your hard work and success so far... you will be rocking it in no time! Very inspiring!

excellent job! my stomach is always the last to go (still working on it)... but on your pics I can totally see a huge difference! Not only will the Lord bless you with a beautiful baby but you will be a healthier momma too! God bless you... keep up the great work!

hi Oliviana... I read your post and totally understand the feelings you described where you want to grab the gallon of ice cream and take it to the sofa and put the original 1 cup serving back into the freezer instead. I have episodes where I binge and lose total control and then you hate yourself for it... Food is a…

woooohooooo! those plateaus can either make you quit or work harder... so glad you decided to work right through it!

Hope this helps... but always have a protein, two veggies, and 1 starch and to his meals add an extra serving or 2 of protein and extra starch... for your plate do your 1 protein, add an extra serving of veggies, and reduce your starch portion to about half. It's hard... when my cholesterol went up the roof... my husband…

you go girl! that is amazing... you can totally see it around your midsection... and it is awesome you already have an hour glass figure because one you reach your goals... you are going to be totally rocking it!
