Big Hugs and welcome back honey. I'll throw my sad tale of woe out there too.... Just to let you know you are not alone. When I was 25 I lost 90+ pounds in 6 months... I was at goal for 4 weeks. My husband and I went on vacation. I gained 5 pounds... 5 pounds... I was too ashamed to go back to my meeting and face the…

Guilt weighs a lot. I love that! Best quote of the week for me!

The best advice I had this week after being slightly bashed... Admit IT, Forgive IT, Forget IT and Get With IT. A MFP friend sent me a picture of a whip... She said I was beating myself up so much mine must have broken by now. Think about what you really want. If you were going on vacation and got a flat tire would you…

Thank you everyone. Great advice. I appreciate the help. I did weigh in after the "big hike" and my legs were sore for days so yes they were holding water. I'm working on healthier eating and avoiding the scale for just a while. Sometimes I get too wrapped up in a number. PLUS the pop is gone from the house. :) Happy…

Thank you Terri for the info. I'm trying to learn.

I've been married 27 years on Wednesday... Want to know my secret? COMPROMISE. And never jump him with a fight when either one first walks in the door. Make a date... turn off the phones... take his hands.. look deep into his eyes... "let's talk Baby!",,, :) One of the best pieces of advice I got from my Daddy was: "You…

I went in for a gyno visit and was given the cabbage soup diet to lose weight on. Follow it faithfully, word for word. Everyone in our office is on it and we are dropping weight like crazy. Then he handed me the diet, photocopied, and a prescription for phen/fen. I just wanted a papsmear...
