My kid swore he would never like oatmeal, now he asks for it every morning. I put 1/3 cup of oatmeal with almost a cup of water in a bowl (not instant oatmeal) and microwave it for 2 min. I let it sit for a couple minutes for the water to finish being soaked in but while it is doing that I add 1 1/2 Tablespoons of peanut…

My son hates anything vegetable so I have to sneak them in. I put grated carrot in spaghetti sauce (meatless or not) low fat carrot muffins, on salad, soups (puree if you have to!), chili (meatless or not)...I find pairing carrots with dill really good too. :)

Thanks for all the kind advice and sharing your struggles. I was too chicken to come back on here for 3 weeks and see if anyone replied because I didn't want to face "shame on you" comments, but it was a nice surprise to see how supportive and helpful you've been. Thank you for the good advice and new ideas! :flowerforyou:

This sounds so good! I can't wait to try it, thanks!

Way to go!!!! :)

or having to carry a dozen Kleenex boxes :P

BUMP!!!!:smile:

BrainyBurro your pic responses are hilarious. :flowerforyou: But, bad news. I am turning 39 in a few months and so...I have not eaten them in 36 years. Ha! I think I broke your record! Brussell sprouts are probably the most disgusting food out there. Mothers need to stop inflicting the madness on their children like mine…

Ugh...I hear ya! If it is any clue for you, my kid calls me Oscar. As in the grouch. What gets me mad is my continual "Oh, well, I can just rebegin tomorrow...when that tomorrow never comes. I get angry over the fact that with all the stress in my life I can't control my stress eating when so many others can. I have lost…

24/26 down from 32.

Awesome! I am about 15 pounds away :P

bragging when people say "true dat" wearing pajamas out in public gummed up mascara in corner of the eye Being self absorbed trying to be someone you obviously are not guys who bite their bottom lip when trying to look sexy...I get annoyed every time I see it! people who baby talk their bf/gf when someone hocks up…

Positive: compassionate, good at baking (negative for waistline though!), dependable, helpful, love to joke around Negative: negative, procrascinator, scared of my own shadow, not self confident, impatient driver

Bacon? Any type of pork product? Excuse me while I hurl. Spinach is one of my favorites though, especially in smoothies and omelettes. :)

Ugh, my dog just peed on my son's new bed last night. So gross and annoying to try to get clean!

I have a family member that has lost 80 lbs at WW...but she's had to do it four or five times. Also, why do they keep on having to change thier weight loss system? Before points system it was something else, and something else before that. (I just can't remember the names!) And why do so many gain the weight back??? Yes,…

Hey there. I started out at 371 and am down to 306. I didn't lose it fast but it is still a loss. It is not a race to lose the weight because that type of mentality can get you into trouble by doing things that are unhealthy. I know the feeling of just wanting the weight off already! But if it takes longer at least you…

Thanks for sharing your transformation...I needed this boost of inspiration this morning as I am where you are at when you started and was feeling sorry for myself. You have worked so hard and it really shows. Way to go!

Love to write...it's amazing how brave you can be with a pen instead of speaking. At least for me. Only thing is I never show what I have written. Someday maybe. Maybe not. I just do it because I have to. I can't not write. Love this thread. :)

My ripped abs...I know there are in there somewhere..I can't wait to meet them one day. :P

I was 175 pounds by the time I was 10 years old. My mom took me to the doctor to find out what was wrong with me. My first weigh in I had lost 4 pounds and she took me out to celebrate. She bought me a Big Mac meal. No wonder I have a love/hate relationship with food. I don't care if it takes me another ten years, I will…

YOU ARE NOT FAILING HIM OR YOU...Failing is saying, "I give up this will never happen" and you definitely do not seem to be doing that. I am working on trying to better my habits as well, and our kids are worth every drop of sweat and tears that we make in their effort for better health. It is not impossible so we have to…

I can't wait to have this victory! I've never been able to ride one and I am in my thirties. Pathetic! Amazing weight loss by the way. :)

Yay! Unfortunately I completely understand what you mean about being unable to fit into a chair properly. The chairs at my doctors office are horrible and the arms on the sides just about cut off my circulation in my hips/thighs. But it is getting better too. Way to go!
