A lot of different motivation techniques posted :-) Whether I agree with the wording or not, THANK YOU. Just the fact that you posted, I appreciate the help! Everyone deals with things differently, so I understand some are kind and some, not so much LOL. I will pray, as I do everyday for strength. I see nothing wrong with…

I am amazed to see there are so many wonderful people still out there in the world. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart...I truly can't express that enough. I let a couple horrible heartless people get me down to the point of hating myself and actually believed them about how worthless I am. That was my fault for…

Thank you everyone for the support. You've all brought me to tears. I have a tendency to need to be the strong one and hold it together. It's amazing sometimes how a good hard cry can make you see clearly or just be a relief in general. I'm not blaming my husband, but more my fear of confrontation. He wants to lose as bad…

I'm in! Started this morning with a walk.... 5/1 - 1.5mi TOTAL: 1.5

I'm in! Starting today :-) Gotta get back on track and this is perfect!

Thank you....EVERYONE!!! All your positive words seriously just brought tears to my eyes... :cry: But in a good way! Thank you all for the encouragement. I just need to keep telling myself that I can do it...I know what I need to do, but I just need to do it....I think the biggest thing I need to get back to is pre-making…

THANK YOU to everyone! I'm glad I'm not alone in this! We haven't been eating "horribly" but I really need to get back to having more veggies with our meals, more fruits, and get back to my greek yogurt & spinach salads! I'm actually looking forward to it :-)

I have been doing the small meals more times a day as well - When I was REALLY doing that every day, I felt better and I was seeing more changes. I need to get back to that. I also felt like I was constantly eating and was never SUPER hungry, so the small meals/snacks took me longer to eat. :-) Thanks again everyone for…

Love those kiddo comments :-) My 7 year old daughter looked at me yesterday and said she needed to whisper something to me. I bent down by her and she says "Seriously, Mom....I mean SERIOUSLY you tummy is getting A LOT smaller!!!" It was so adorable how dramatic she is for one, but it made me feel so good! :-) Keep up the…

THANK you all so much! I know I should just feel good about the choices tonight & listening to my body, but this is why I love MFP....because there's so many that are ready to validate your choices. I know we shouldn't need validating, but it just HELPS! Tomorrow is a new day and I'm ready for it :-) Guilt be gone!

I have a little girl that was starting to do that a bit, but we quickly changed the way we worded things here. It's not about "losing weight" or "getting skinny". We always talk about being healthy. She caught onto that pretty quickly as well, so hopefully that will work for you as well. She does grab things at the grocery…

Yay! Congrats :-) I fully understand because I was the SAME way! I still get cravings for chips & junk food once in awhile, but I can eat just a little and be fully happy with that. I also feel like I'm eating all the time, but still losing weight at a fairly steady pace. It really is amazing how just changing the foods…

Of course I know it....and it went through my head yesterday too LOL

I had a bag of Doritos in my hand for about 10 minutes. I walked around with them and almost opened them a couple different times. Granted, it was a 1oz bag of Spicy Doritos but still....Doritos were a weakness for me. I don't like spicy things normally, but they were still Doritos. My son kept saying "They aren't bad at…

LOL....my hubby always calls it when "the in-laws are in town" .... I just shake my head at him anymore and walk away LOL

To at the very least, walk a mile each day. TOM + bad cramps = no energy for me. I've pushed myself the past couple days to get walking in at least. It's not the complete workout at the gym, but it's a mile more than normal during TOM for me. :-)

I wonder how many calories I just burned laughing for a good 10 minutes straight LOL Thank you for that!

Curious question for those of you who do your own "mix-ins" to your Greek yogurt - are you using plain Greek yogurt? Right now, I eat Strawberry/Banana Chobani - I haven't branched out from that because it's my favorite LOL. So taste comparison, how much flavor can you actually add to the plain Greek yogurt so it doesn't…

I try to mix it up a bit for veggies, but there's only so many different vegetables available in my little town grocery store. I watch for what's fresh & on sale and normally go by that....If it can be baked with a bit of Parmesan cheese & garlic powder, I do it....tastes awesome (like asparagus, for example)

I'm loving that they're getting smaller! LOL My bras now FIT me instead of me spilling out the top without having to constantly readjust!

^^^I LOVE THIS^^^
