Thank all of you for your stories! I just feel like a failure for regaining the weight. I know exactly what I need to do, but I lack the motivation. I am however extremely uncomfortable in my clothes and embarrassed when I run into people from school. I was skinnier through most of high school and I live in a small town. I…

When I successfully lost weight before. I ate a bunch of fruit or veggies like celery sticks and when it comes time to eat the bad stuff you won't have much room for it. They say eat a salad first and you will eat less off of the buffet.

I'm a heavy Tina Fey so it's ok. Yea you do look like Kelly Ripa and she is soo pretty! :)

No real break. Grandparents on both sides also have young children so, it's hard for them to babysit when they have kids still in the house! :(

Wow! Thank you all for your support! I got kind of teary eyed. The folks on MFP are more supportive than my own friends and family so... Thank you so much! This means a lot to be acknowledged and to feel understood.

This is so me! I've been gaining it back too because I'm a nervous person and I eat for comfort. I need daily support! Friend request me if you like and we can motivate each other!

I take the kids 8 and 2 to the park, the lake, the beach, the library, etc. I try to keep them busy, but they are a handful! The kids are very spirited! My husband would watch them so I can go to the gym, but after all day of dealing with the kiddos I just watch to zone out on the couch. He gets stressed when he's with…

Thanks to you all. I just need to get over it, but I'm having a moment. I appreciate the words of wisdom! :smile: :smile:

Emotional eater. Food really made me feel peaceful after a stressful situation. I just recently discovered that exercise gives you that same feel good hormone release.

I reward myself with a magazine or something else i like besides food.

Tired of having to shop in the old lady dept. due to weight. I want to wear stylish clothes!:wink:

no way!!!

I'm 29

You don't need it. You know what to do. Eat healthy & exercise. No secret formula really..

Great way to divide the shallow people from the good men. I like the ones who start getting to know someone for who they are on the inside and work their way out. Of course being attracted to someone is a must, but being a certain size doesn't mean you are ugly.

I was never mean to anyone about their weight, but I did this to myself. This is so hard! I appreciate all of the encouragement!:smile:

Thank you for your words of encouragement!!!! :)

You look thinner and younger!

Im doing 1400 calories. Some days I go over. It seems half the week I'm an angel then, the other half the food demon gets ahold of me & I eat horribly. I finally lost 20 lbs, but it took 14 weeks.

omg I'm so jealous. I hope I can do that too! how long did it take?

Ok update....... I've lost 20 lbs in 14 weeks. Is that good or bad? We got a gym membership & I'm going at least 3 x's a week. I've stopped stress eating, but now I need to kick the beer drinking habit. All those calories just aren't worth it. I just feel like I need to enjoy life, but thinking of giving that up all…
