You look amazing. Congrats!

Hi..........Ahhhhhh, night shift. I've been working the night shift for the past 23 years. I'm in the medical profession and I work three 12 1/2 hour night shifts per week from 6:00pm to 6:30am. It's a challenge to work out "at the best time" and to plan your meals. What I typically do is eat every two to three hours while…

A gift not only to yourselves, but to your child as well. Congrats, you both look great.

green apples :tongue:

Wow! :noway: You look amazing! Great before and after photos. You deserve to be proud of yourself on a job well done! All the best to you.

Natural endorphins are released when you exercise which should help with your depression. Extra Sugarless Gum has dessert flavors with only 5 calories per stick....Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, Apple Pie, Mint Chocolate Chip and Orange Creamsicle. Might help. Also, drink alot of water.......I put lemon wedges in…

See the difference????? Hell yeah!!! You look great. Well done!:happy:

I have had the Weight Watchers digital scale for a few years now and it is dead on accurate. Do you have the scale on a hard, flat, even surface? New battery? I like this scale because it gives me body fat%, and keeps track of my last weight, etc. Good luck.

I think you've made a very mature decision. Being a mother is very rewarding. Having said that, it is also the most challenging role a woman will ever have in her life. It is never ending. From the moment you find out you're pregnant, your life completely changes........what you eat, what meds you are allowed to take, what…

You look amazing! Yes, I have the same problem with body image and how I see myself. When I lost 72 pounds (very quickly) 4 years ago, I just couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I was no longer heavy. Everyone said how great I looked and it wasn't easy hearing those compliments either. I have lost weight many times…

Hi.......we're out here! You can add me.:flowerforyou:

DS.........I'm glad you're seeking professional help for your depression. I'm double your age and have dealt with the same body image issues you're dealing with since I was just a teenager. I wish I had never gone on my first crazy diet when I was 14. I look back at pictures of myself then and I was no where near…

One of the best ways to stretch a low food budget and still eat healthy foods is to shop for fresh produce at your local flea market. Much less than at the supermarket and often better quality. Walking is free and so is this website for support. Good luck.

Congrats! Yes, it was all worth it. You look great.

You look amazing. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing the pictures.:noway:

Whey protein shakes. You can purchase Whey Protein powder at Walmart or any health food store. I add skim milk, frozen berries and a banana...some ice and a scoop of the powder. Pop all that in the blender and you have a delicious fruit smoothie with lots of fiber and protein and it makes a large amount so you can sip it…

Do you keep track of your measurements? You may be seeing the difference in inches lost this week.

Hi. I love to eat a spinach/egg white/ham pita with swiss cheese spread. I make it with 2 egg whites on the griddle, then I had a 1/2 slice (0.5 oz) of black forest ham on top and then I put the raw fresh spinach on top of that on the griddle. While I wait for the spinach to wilt a bit, I take a pita (Josephs oatmeal/ bran…

Now I understand what people say when you've lost both your parents.....you feel like you're orphaned. I do. Even though I just turned 50, I've lost both my parents. My father passed away last June and my mother in 1996.....just 3 days before my daughter was born. She was born on the day of my mother's funeral, 16 years…

So sorry you're going through such a difficult time dealing with the death of your best friend. How blessed you were to have such a good friend in your life. I have two best friends that are sisters to me since we were just toddlers and I can't bear to think of them not being in my life. I turned 50 this year and thoughts…

Good for you. I know that feeling and it's a great accomplishment!

WELL........I'M NOT SURE WHAT 2 STONE MEASURES UP TO, BUT I WISH YOU LUCK IN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS EFFORTS. CONGRATS ON YOUR UPCOMING WEDDING. :smile:

LOVE THAT PICTURE. GREAT JOB! HAVE FUN SHOPPING.:smile:

I want to look good, again, in a size 6 pair of jeans with this white cotton wrap around shirt I have had for at least 3 years that I love and have never been able to fit into properly. It's the perfect, classic look and the way I like to dress. I've had that image in my mind year after year. That would be a great…

Very sorry to hear about your daughter's injury, jhansonfan I hope the surgeries are successful and recovery is swift. Thank you for your support. Stress is a major factor in my life and the number one reason for my weight issues. I worry about everything. My mother was the same. Mindless grazing is my method of coping and…

Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Good luck to you, too. :smile:

Hi everyone. Just turned 50 on New Year's Eve. I have 84 pounds to lose to be at a healthy weight where my BMI should be. I've lost and regained weight several times in my life and now that I've had a health scare with a post meal blood sugar of 210 last week (I am not diabetic.......yet) I got the "wake up call". I…
