There are many reasons someone might not be comfortable with their face even if it is the only one they have. I have psoriasis and I have LOTS of days where I am not comfortable in my own skin, including my face. As far as the kids, I like showing pics of myself WITH my kids but not just my kids typically.

Oh and I am a stay at home mom. My kids are a little older, they are 9, 11 and 19 but my daughter has autism and I can't work because her school calls me often to come help and her therapies and drs appointments, etc.

Does anyone have any positive reviews about fitbit? Is it actually helping anyone? I'm thinking about getting it but I don't want to waste my money.

Congrats!!! You look so amazing! You did such a great job! I hope you feel like all your hard work was totally worth it. You are an inspiration.

1. Soda 2. Sweet tea and for now that is really it.... I have reduced my bread intake but I haven't given it up completely.

On impulse I think absolutely fake but the only thing that ever helped me with vomiting while pregnant was a wrist band I wore that sent electric currents through me. I know it is not the same thing but imo it is just as weird. I was in and out of the hospital, sick the ENTIRE time I was pregnant. I gave myself shots of…

I'm not a coffee drinker so for my comforting drink I drink Mocha Tazo Chai Tea latte, you can buy sugar free chai and sugar free torani chocolate syrup so the only calories comes from the milk. :) I had to give up my sodas and sweet teas because they have too much sugar. Besides iced water I only drink crystal lights or…

I'd love to see that too. I started at 230 and my goal is 150. I'm 5' 7.5". So far in 1.5 weeks I am 7.5 lbs down. :) Good Luck!!!

Matthew Gray Gubler ........... SO MUCH HOTNESS!!!!!

You should eat every 3-5 hours. Awesome job on giving up coffee!!! Caffeine actually can increase your appetite. No matter what you figure out I hope your weight comes off. :) Good luck!!!

A simple blood test can check your testosterone levels.

Thanks.

It does have a heart rate monitor if I hold the handles which I never do. It does not have any place for me to input weight though. MFP says an hour of light cycling is like 500 calories and my bike says about 200, so huge difference. I guess I'll do that average between the two numbers and use that. Thanks.

From Henderson, KY but I live in Berea now ... would love to add people that are nearby so if you're interested send invites.

Thanks for sharing! You are truly inspirational!!!!

bump, love these!!!

My right ankle, it is 4 puzzle pieces and my daughters name, she has autism. Red, yellow and blue the colors for autism. My lower back, on the right side, two blue roses shaped to form a heart. No meaning, just turned 18 and wanted a tat. I will eventually cover it up probably. I also plan on getting one on my left ankle…

I was told by my own husband that he wasn't attracted to me. The sad thing is that I weighed much less then. It did not make me want to lose weight, it made me comfort eat. The funny thing is that if I was at that size now, he'd be thrilled. lol A difference of perspective I guess. I was 180 when he said it and 213 now and…

Thanks everybody. I will try the eating better. I will stop the water pill tomorrow. And I know I cannot take the diet pills forever but I am only using them as a boost anyways. A few weeks on them to help my stomach shrink in size. They worked before and I honestly feel the reason I gained weight back last time was being…

agree I want my kids to know it is their body. They should do whatever it takes to feel happy. They are beautiful and I tell them daily. If anything they are at risk of feeling too grand about themselves, I go on and on about how fabulous they are. Its not just surgeries, which once I lose all my weight if I think surgery…

I'm sry no one has noticed hon but you have noticed, you feel better and thats GREAT! I've lost 10.2 lbs (which I know isnt a lot) since the 6th of this month, so 2 weeks ago and I do not feel different, I do not think I look different and my clothes feel exactly the same. My husband and step son both said they can see a…

Thanks for the input. Its not that type of diet pill though. I know the ones you are talking about. I guess I will just have to force myself to eat cause its not meal size either, I've been eating small meals (a banana for bfast, a turkey burger alone w/out bread or anything for lunch, dinner's have been normal size but…

You are such an inspiration. You look fabulous!

lol Your wife is very lucky! I wish ALL men could be that supportive. I hope she thinks of your happiness just as much.

And for the record my husband said he will be happy with me without me having boobs. The boobs are not for him, they are for me!

I have alrdy informed my husband that if the ladies disappear I will be getting fake ones. I love my boobs, I love having them, I love the way they look in the shirts I like to wear, I feel more womanly. I was flat all growing up, a late sprouter I guess. But when I got em at 20 and then they got better and stayed that way…

I know I'm a chick but I LOVE your response!!!

Agree! I well balanced diet actually provides all the average person needs. Just like any other flaw a person can have though, a person can have a deficit even while eating healthy. The typical average person though doesn't need any vitamins as long as they eat healthy. And yes it has been proven.
