I have lost 20lbs. and I am still wearing the same size clothes- they are just now startting to fit a little loose. I am a 5’3” and a pear-shape.

I can wait, I ordered it yesterday!!!

I have been with my husband 18 years and we were both jealous and insecure in the beginning. Since our relationship has matured well this is my advice: Time apart brings more to the relationship, if you only talk to him and the kids after a while you are boring, he is bored and you are resentful. Secondly, R-E-S-P-E-C-T,…

Mine was blood pressure, my physician and I monitered it and I was able to lower it without medication once I started loosing weight.. 20 lbs. down now and no more excercise headaches. Once I realized I had the bp problem I could easily recognize the headache and tell the difference between it and other types headaches…

My physician keeps stating that I need to eat what am eating for lunch for dinner and have my dinner calories at lunch-because he says I am eating too many dinner calories before bed. I usually eat dinner around 6:30 (about 4 hrs. before bedtime and I do an evening workout before bedtime). I didn't loose at my last…

Gave up my aspartame addiction about three months ago-just before I started MFP and I have lost 20lbs. so far!!!

thanks!!

Hey Amber, (that is also my daughters name)- I am Julie and I started at 188lbs. and I am currently 178 with 38 to loose to my goal weight. Add me if you would like.

Wow! You look great! Thanks for the inspriration -I also began at 14/16 can hardly wait until I get to a size 8.

I hope my kids think of this :love:

I am likely biased as a result of my Mom suffering a severe stroke last year so I say try to incorporate some healthy foods into their diet maybe a salad before a small piece of pizza or try the sneaky low fat substitutions. If all else fails stick to your diet I have been fortunate to be able to motivate my husband by…

Thanhks all!!! (Bumping for later)

My husband has been absolutely wonderful and I believe I am slowly inspring him -He is 36, overweight with high blood pressure, GERD, sleep apnea and allready has some issues with his heart-that I'm not going to try to spell. He is handsome to me at any weight (I do like big men) I just want him to be healthy and enegetic.

Hi! I am 5'3" and 38yrs. old (39 in Dec. ) I have lost 20lbs. and I have 28lbs. to go.

Wow! Good job 13lbs. is great!! Have you taken your measurements?

To loose 8lbs. & continue my excercise so that I never let myself get in this bad of shape again!!!! I am in the 160's (yay me), I typically plateau around this weight and give up but NOT THIS TIME!!!!

You might try a sandwich with apple or carrots or low calorie soup, etc. Something that takes a long time to eat usually satisfies me better.

I am using ROC Multi-Correxion Eye Treatment (for dark circles and wrinkles) and I have also found on really bad days that a cotton swab dipped in cold milk and applied to tired puffy eyes works wonders. Mine is hereditary but sometimes (when I consume alcohol the night before) it is worse.

Ha! Quit being so hard on yourself. I agree though that I do find my eating habits to be somewhat personal but I am trying to make myself accountable and it seems to be working, I very seldom go over my calories and I am ashamed when I do.

I like to cut an apple into small bites and throw in a handful of mixed nuts for a snack. It is sweet and salty and the chewing is so satisfying when I have the irresistible urge to snack all day at work.

Hi, I am a 38 yr. old Mom with 28 more lbs. to loose to be at my goal weight. It has been tough getting back into shape after letting myself go for so tong. I wish you and your son the best of luck!

I have started measuring myself. I read an interesting article on here yesterday about a lady who started weight training at 140 lbs. and has dropped 5 clothing sizes (I think she said to a size 2) and still weighs 140 lbs. So don't let the scale be your only progress indicator.

My advice: Be supportive (i.e. non judgemental) if he feels he can not come to you when the going gets tough he will just alienate you and do it behind your back. He probably feels ashamed allready you have probably been telling him how proud you are and he has let you and himself down. Make sure he knows just because he…
