You sound like me. You need to be more kind and gentler on yourself. You have come a very long way. And your hard work and dedication to yourself shows. I hope that you can relax and be ok with where you are! Keep loving yourself and keep going. Blessings and Peace!

Any kind of INSECURITY or JEALOUSY is a poison that will KILL any and all relationships. Sit him down....have a heart to heart talk. Nip this in the bud. Tell him you are getting healthy for you and he can either decide to be supportive and if he can't then he is going to have to decide if it's worth losing you over. I…

Eat a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and call it a night! Throw in some steamed veggies or go for a quick walk or jog in place and throw in some protein. Jogging in place burns like 100 in 10 mins....simple, easy and FREE and burns the calories! and ABOVE ALL DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP~ Be Kind and Gentle to yourself!

Beautiful (before OR after) ....Congratulations on your weight loss! You are a true inspiration! keep it up babygirl!

Definitely can identify with this post....ONE DAY AT A TIME and ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER! You never gave up on yourself and I am not going to either! Blessings and Peace hun!

Some snacks that have really helped me get over the mid-day hunger hump have been Crystal Farms Light String cheese packet with an apple....The fiber plus the protein helps me to make it to supper....also 1/2 cup of cottage cheese helps tremendously too. St. Joseph's Lavish Flat bread (looks like a wrap or tortilla) is…

Oh babygirl, of you only knew how I can identify with this as well. Please know that you don't have to "END" the friendship...but you may need to cool things off with her....You can't change her...she has to want this for herself. She does sound like she is trying to sabotage your weight loss and restructuring of your…

GREAT ADVICE! You don't have to give anything up and as far as your creamer is concerned ...you can change it to the powdered version and it's a lot less calories. 60 calories for 4 tsps. That's not bad!

TRULY GREAT ADVICE!~ Take all this to heart...Live, Breathe it...Let it become part of you. I have been on here since March 1 and it is still taking time to sink in. I lost my father almost 4 months ago and I have stalled but I feel like I am slowly getting back on track!

Try to be Kind and Gentle to yourself. Beating yourself up is not going to help you. Don't look back....just move forward. Blessings and Peace to you!

CONGRATULATIONS on learning to LOVE YOURSELF! You are a true inspiration hunne! Don't ever give up on YOU again! Blessings and Peace!~

Congratulations on your amazing success! You look awesome and so much younger! Blessings and Peace!

WOW, WOW, WOWZA!!!!!!! Makes me want to cry looking at the pics. It's taking me a little longer but I also would like to lose 100 lbs. I have the exercise part down...but the eating part is proving to be somewhat more challenging!

I'm tryin but I…

Believe it or not...I am 208 lbs (this morning) and I am a size 14. Women's tops XL. I have always weighed more than what people think I am. I carry my weight very well and proportionately ....but short none the less ( I am 5' 3") ! Ha! At my heaviest weight (262 lbs) I was a size 20-22....and some 24's. :tongue:

Good job hunne! Keep going...Don't give up on you! You are worth this and so much more!

God Bless you hunne and Keep Going!!!! I started here march 1st, 2012....Had a little bit of a set back the last few months....My dad died and I gained 7 lbs back but I am back on track and I have lost those 7 lbs and I am not giving up! I love MFP! Good luck doll! "Persistence and Determination alone are Omnipotent!!!!!"

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again! Persistence is Key! Don't give up on you! It's worth it! I promise! Welcome back!!!!!!!

WOW....you really are beating the CRAP out of yourself!.....How does that feel? TODAY is a new day.....Be kind and gentle to yourself and revel in the fact that Today is a NEW DAY!

I always "WANTED" to but finally DID IT...March 1st, 2012.....the day I started here on MFP!

CONGRATULATIONS hunne, you look FANTASTIC and you deserve to really be proud of yourself. Hoping I will be there one day myself too! I am excited to have my before and after one day too. YAY!!!!! Hope you never give up on you AGAIN! God bless you!

I have deleted very good friends and even family members on here....If they are unsupportive then I delete them. I do not have time for people who will not support me....especially here on MFP. I need support and encouragement....this train is moving forward so either STEP ON....or STEP OFF! Sorry, but that is how I have…

I like to drink as well and have been dismayed by the calories in alcohol BUT I will say I notice the weight comes off easier and faster during times when I don't drink versus times when I do...even ONE night can set me back...And I will drink the 55 calories Bud Select....My advice is...Don't drink....have your nights…
