Everything was fine, not great but fine. My kids are awesome (what mom doesn't say that?), work was boring, but flexible and secure, husband is awesome, I was losing weight and I had an awesome trip to Italy. Then bam, my husband was laid off, now I am not losing, I gained 3 lbs and I was definately eating emotionally. I…

Wow, quite a success story! You are fantastic, and thanks for the great advice! Congrats you are inspiring.

congrats you look beautiful

fantastic! Great job! I know it is hard I am trying to get there myself

I am right with you! I have been having the hardest time watching what I eat and getting to the gym. I have been really stressed and just don't want to do anything but eat fatty and sugary foods. I have gained 3 lbs and it was hard to lose those pounds, so I am mad at myself. Just the other night though, my 15 yo son said…

ABSOLUTELY, all the time and my friends are mostly 40+. No one likes to drink or eat bad foods or misbehave by themselves, so they try to make you do it to. Then they don't feel bad about themselves. The thing is, when they gain weight or do something stupid they will feel bad. Don't be that person, I like the idea of…

I am from the Philly area also. you might enjoy these... You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything but "Philly." And New Jersey has always been "Jersey." You refer to Pennsylvania as "PA" (pronounced Peeay). You know what "Punxsutawney Phil" (A Ground Hog ) is, and what it means if he sees his shadow. The first day…

Thanks, I need the prayers

Etave - I use the unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my protein shakes. It has only 30 cals for 1 cup, less than even skim milk. I switched over because I was told by a nutritiionist that you body can more easily absorb plant based calcium than animal based. Animal based is more acidic. It also has more calcium than…

My mom bring sweets over all the time and when I asked her not to she said, "they are for the kids, just don't eat any." To make it worse she said she cannot keep them in her house because she will eat them... ARGH

I attended a class by a nutrionist with 20+ years experience. She recommended eating eggs several times a week and she said to eat the ENTIRE egg, the yolk is where most of the nutrition is. She did say that the best eggs were those that were organic and from your local small farmer or to get Egglands. Since I do not have…

Absolutely I notice a difference, great job! You look great

wow 50 lbs since january, that is FAN tastic! Congrats

You look great job and thanks for your inspiration, I feel like quiting now but I am going to think of your words when I am debating a workout or not eating that piece of pie...

Nope it seems like a lot to me - you look great! Congrats

holy mackeral! Great job!

I completely agree this person is only trying to jack up your bill and income for the gym. Go look at the success page and tell them to take a hike!

I love how you responded. Men can be such idiots sometimes, even the smart ones...

Your story is far from boring, it is inspiring. your story brought tears to my eyes. You are amazing! Your parents and friends, boyfriend and you all sound like amazing people.

you look fantastic! Great job

you look great! I don't think you need to lose any more weight, but you have to be comfortable in your own skin. Way to go

Amazing results! You look great, congrats!

yahoo, way to go! Great job and congrats!

I just joined today and would love some friends who are doing this also.

Wow, I once responded to a statement about HCG and recieved the only nasty response I have ever gotten on this website. So all I will say, is google HCG and checkout the groups on MFP for more information. When you google it, use sites that receive no financial gain by selling or promoting HCG. I copied in a link, please…

YES!

I was just in Italy for a week and was really worried I would gain weight before I left. I was careful about what I ate, but since I could not track anything I am sure I went over my calories, carbs and fat allowance every day. I even had a glass or two of wine each day. As it turned out since we were in the mountains and…

My husband has to have something sweet before bed every night and my kids like sweets in their school lunches and then my mom loves to spoil my kids with homemade cookies (and to get them out of her house). If I see the treats I will eat them so I have learned to put them in the microwave or in the sweets cabinet. Out of…
