  • Just found this thread. My story is very similar to many others. I am 40, almost 41, married for 23 years. I have a 13 years old and a 21 year old. I started this journey (this time around) at 214.9 pounds, currently at 198.9. So happy to finally be in ONEderland. But I have probably 45-50 pounds to go. I have already…

  • Some people can be so cruel. Just remember that you can change your body but he will always be an a-hole. It is so much more important to be beautiful on the inside and he certainly is NOT. Don't be discouraged by some jerk. You are perfect and are doing a great job working on yourself.

  • I totally agree. You look great. Pictures are much better motivation than the scale. I have only lost 10 pounds so far and can't really tell a difference. Whenever I get discouraged I snap a few pictures and put them beside my before pics, HUGE change in my body. Keep up the great work!!

  • Even if you don't lose as much as you want, I highly recommend taking progress pictures. I could see no difference in the mirror and was getting really unmotivated but the pictures really helped to boost my confidence and keep me going. I saved them on mu computer and whenever I want to eat something I shouldn't, I pull…

  • SO far I have lost 10 pounds. I really enjoyed the challenge. Remembering to take the pills 30 minutes before I eat has been a challenge but the meal replacements have been my saving grace.

  • I used to work with a girl who had one child. She told everyone, " I wouldn't take a million dollar for the one I have and I wouldn't give you a nickel for another one." I have two girls myself and I am ready for them to be out of the house and the idea of grand children is not appealing at all. I think you should do what…

  • Thank you so much for posting this. I was so amazed with the difference in you with only 8 pounds that you inspired me to take some pictures of myself. I had taken before pictures but I thought there wasn't much change. I have lost 10 pounds so far. I couldn't see the difference either in the mirror but I sure can in the…

  • I just graduated at 36 so I understand the stress of paying for college. Please understand that you are not alone, in financial worries or weight worries. I read your whole post and one thing I kept thinking........you will still have to find a way to deal with this problem whether you pig out or not. But if you do (and I…

  • I chose to track it because I tend to have trouble getting enough. But now that I am making a conscious effort I tend to go over. Thanks for the info. That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure.

  • We were done having kids and hubby didn't want a V and I am scared to be put to sleep so I opted for Essure. My OB did the procedure in the office, went back a couple months later for the dye test and it was done. Essure is as effective as having your tubes tied. Not for everyone but it was the way to go for me.

  • I am sorry you have to deal with this but there is a simple solution. If you really want the motivation without making her jealous simply add male friends. There are plenty of males on this site who need and want friends. I understand that perhaps compliments help your ego more if they are coming from a female but that's…

  • Kit arrived today. Day one begins tomorrow. The start of my new life. I must confess that I had to try out the Spark. I know I will have to order more of it before the 24 days are over. It is SO good. And it def. pepped me up for the afternoon which is when I usually crash and head for the chips and donuts.

  • I am waiting for my kit to arrive as well. I am already trying to eat better and drinking way more water than before. I think for me it's just a matter of making myself a priority. Along with having no support at home. That is why I was hoping to find others who were having the same issues. We could motivate and encourage…
