Um, I was quoting the person who said they bought lingerie, but the quote didn't show up!!! That looked really stupid.

ME TOO!!! And if I'm at home, I look at the Victoria's Secret website and make a wish list.

I'm getting ready to start in a few minutes...excited but kind of nervous!

Here goes: 1. I am an only child 2. I am naturally blonde 3. I have blue eyes 4. I have been married for 18 years to the love of my life 5. I have 2 boys, ages 13 and 15, who I love so much it hurts 6. I suffered a miscarriage 3 years ago and I don't feel that I'll ever get over it. 7. I don't like to be around babies at…

I'm starting this week!

"Till I Collapse" by Eminem

"Sweat is weakness leaving your body" I have an Adidas shirt with it on the front.

I've not had a C-Section so I hope that it's ok to post on here. I did, however, have an abdominal hysterectomy almost 2 years ago, and my scar is almost from hipbone to hipbone. I immediately gained weight and now that I've lost some my belly looks like a deflated basketball below my belly-button. As a matter of fact, I…

Cheese fries loaded with bacon and ranch dressing, nachos with cheese dip, Krispy Kreme donuts (at least 2 or 3), double cheeseburgers from McDonald's with a large caramel frappe...I could go on and on

You can add me as well. :flowerforyou:

Congratulations! You look like a different person!!!

I was in that situation about 15 years ago, when I had a 20 month old and a newborn. It's almost impossible to do anything for yourself with a newborn. Just taking a shower is difficult! Luckily, I have support here at home from my husband and sons, who are now 13 and 15. They get tired of hearing about my weigh loss…

I am trying to lose at least 60 pounds. The more support, the better. I'll add you. :)

I would talk to your doctor. You may have something going on that can be easily taken care of. I have a problem with bloating as well, but it's not that severe and if I drink a lot of water it's gone the next morning. Good luck to you. I hope everything is okay.

I love that! I feel the same way. Although I haven't come close to reaching my goal I know it's possible and I'm doing it. I have been so happy since I started this lifestyle change...I wasn't really a very happy person before and I have every reason to be. Another thing that makes me happy is that I am just starting to be…

Oops...I was replying to what Laurej said and forgot to quote it.

That is so very sweet. That really made my evening.

We are regulars at a local Italian restaurant. I had had my second child about 4 months before and at the time, I was not overweight. I had lost almost all of my baby weight. When we walked in the owner said, "Haven't you had that baby yet? You're bigger than a barn!" I just about died and when my husband and I were seated…

Good for you! Congratulations on your amazing willpower. I quit smoking about 6 months ago and immediately piled on more weight on top of what I already had. I also went through a period of drinking last summer to help me relax which I know caused me to gain even more. I was bloated and felt ugly and disgusting. Although…

You absolutely did not look pregnant! You were beautiful then and even more now. Congratulations! That's great that you're using that as your motivation. I use comments that my kids have made to me as motivation. Although they never meant to hurt my feelings, sometimes teenagers arent' always kind. Good for you! You look…

You sound a lot like me except I have 2 teenage boys and I'm 41. I have learned more here than I have ever learned anywhere else. I've learned how to be healthy and that those diets that promise that you will lose 15 pounds in a week are just crazy. It's a lifestyle change, and sometimes the changes are slow but if you…

I added you also. :smile:

Congratulations! You look great. Healthy and happy.

I love this post!

And anyone can add me as well!

I'll send a request as well. It helps to have support and motivation! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations! I can't wait to be able to do the same thing! :smile:

Thanks everyone! My doctor did tell me that most of it was water and I probably wouldn't lose as much weekly as I have. But she gave me the same advice as everyone who responded to my post. Don't get discouraged and keep doing what I'm doing, which is eating healthy, unprocessed foods, to meet my calorie requirements and…

Thank you for your reply. I am going to Malaysia with a layover in Qatar. I am also thinking of taking my whey protein powder to fill in between meals, or if the meal is something I just can't eat, have the protein shake and a snack that I've packed. I just don't want to sabotage my weight loss!

I mean Mike the plumber from Desperate Housewives.
