I've got at least 100 to lose. Feel free and add me. I'm recommitting tomorrow and would love to have the support of others who can relate, as well as be supportive!!

A year later...and I'm getting back on the wagon, having lost not a single pound. :sad: If you can relate to being a working mom and would like to help each other get healthier and work towards our goals...friend me! :blushing:

I'm also a working mom...I have 3 y/o daughter, work full time. I need all the help I can get from other mom's who "get it." Please feel free and add me. I'm jumping back on, again, and would love to connect with others who are trying to do it all, too!

These have all been so inspirational...Thank you to everyone who shared their stories! Sadly, I think I am one of the biggest on the thread. :sad: I'm 5"0 and weigh 240 (or at least that's what I weighed in the last time I was on the scale) ...so I have well over 100 lbs to lose. I really have to make this happen and…

Congrats! You look amazing and loved reading about your experience!!

Way to go!! You're an inspiration!!

You guys have no idea how much I needed to read each and every one of these responses. THANK YOU!!

You're beautiful & inspiring! Way to go!

You're a Rock Star! Good for you!

Ok-full on confession time. I have been off the wagon and can't seem to find it. I continually make bad choices...I know I'm making a bad choice and I make them anyway. I feel totally out of control. Work is insanely busy and I'm feeling like the house is out of control right now too-not dirty but cluttered...feels like…

Ok...WARNING...I'm going on a massive pity party rant here...don't judge. I'm am DONE! Work is a mess right now-it's insanely busy and I'm incredibly behind. My daughter had surgery a month ago and I was out for a week-I came back to stacks and piles and a new employee to train on top of that. A week and a half after…

Ok...here's one of the recipes I tried out today & it was amazing!! Not only that but someone has already entered it into MFP so it's ready for you to make and log! http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2010/11/04/petite-lasagnas/

I spent most of the day doing some cooking, trying out new recipes and cooking ahead so I'd have things ready in the freezer, etc. Anyone else do this? I'm trying out some new recipes and hope to get enough in the freezer that it will make having lunches for us and my daughter quicker and easier to prepare. This past week…

Look at you!! You look great! Good for you!

Congratulations!! You both look amazing! Reading your story I went through so many emotions...I felt like I could relate to everything, from the damage and abuse to your body to the damage that did to your marriage. I can relate to all of that. You give me hope that if I can start taking care of me, then maybe I'll start…

I can relate! I want so badly to be able to run but after a very short period of time, and by that I mean less than a minute...it feels like my shins are going to explode. It's sooo painful. I assume/hope/pray that if I can...when I do, get this weight off it will become easier & less painful. Also, it's less painful for…

Thanks everyone for the responses, ideas & encouragement. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one struggling to be Super Woman! As for my husband...he's amazing and does most of the laundry, a lot of the cooking and a great deal of the housework. I work a ton of hours at the office and often have to bring work home,…

You look amazing!! Way to go!! Congrats on your hard work and keep it up!!

Let's get back on the wagon together!!

Hello! I need to lose about 100 lbs and can use all the encouragement and accountability you all can offer! I'd love to provide the same to you guys! Please feel free to add me for those who want to hold eachother accountable and encourage eachother on to goal!! ~Melissa

Welcome! I totally know what you mean about wanting this to be the "last time"...I'm soooo right there with you! As for recipes-there are a lot of internet sites and blogs that I use for recipes, along with Pinterest. I won't wish you "Good Luck" - there is no luck involved. You have to put you, your health and your life…

YES! I am a huge stress and emotional eater & my job and work environment are really stressful. When I'm successful it's because I've planned ahead with bringing my lunch and snacks to work and I do a ton of positive self talk. It's hard, really hard...

You're amazing and you look amazing! All your hard work is so worth it ... YOU are worth it!!

@kcthatsme - Thank you so much for putting this together and all the time and effort you commit to it! Happy 4th Everyone! I'll admit that days off, not at work, are hard for me...so I'm trying to be mindful of that challenge and make sure that I'm making good choices, etc. Little to no fireworks here in Colorado due to…

You look amazing! Congrats on all of your hardwork and success!
