I have the same problem! I am also a teacher and at the end of the school year I recommitted myself to weight loss at 198. When the new school year began I was 185.5. Nobody noticed and I was ok with that. It was only 12.5 pounds afterall. What's really funny is that I mentioned to this one teacher, "Wow, you lost weight…

My husband, "tobeybusch" and I are losing together. I started first, on WW, in 2011. I started at 205, got down to 187 and then fell off the bandwagon. I started back on WW May 31, 2012 at 198. People on the WW boards started talking about MFP and I decided to try to double track/log. I did that for two weeks. I found that…

It is SO TRUE that men don't understand women's sizes. When I met my husband I was wearing a size 16 but told him I was in a 14 because I was embarrassed about it. After we had our son I was a size 18 and I let it slip that I wished I could get back into my size 16's. Haha. He was so mad at me for lying to him. I was like…

Forgot: Charles in Charge.

Silver Spoons, Alf, Family Ties, Designing Women (I think that's what it was called with Delta Burke), The Facts of Life, The Jetsons (cartoon), America's Most Wanted, America's Funniest Videos (when it was really funny with less dumbed down commentary), Who's the Boss, WKRP in Cinncinati, Heroes, I could add more but I…

My husband and I tried Nutrisystem about 5 years ago. We gave it a REALLY good try. My husband returned his after just a week. I kept trying for two more weeks then returned mine. The food was DISGUSTING. We're talking so bad. It wasn't even just the flavor, but the texture. You started to wonder, "Is this REALLY chicken?"…

I had an amazing 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Chavez. She made learning fun. Her classroom was well organized and the atmosphere was friendly, peaceful, calm, fair, and caring. I decided that year I wanted to be a teacher. Every year when each new teacher would ask what we wanted to be, I would stick to my guns and say TEACHER.…

My mom had a friend that would end every statement or conversation by saying: "On it." So, she might say, "That was a great game. I can't believe Mark bowled a 220...... On it." Or "I went with Walt to the store and they had Pink Lady apples on sale. They were so good. You might want to go get some before the sale…

My husband is a hillbilly from Missouri and he grew up with some strange sayings: 1) He/She is as rotten as a fence post. (I guess they have some OLD rotted out fence posts in the sticks? LOL.) 2) Your *kitten* is the blackest. (If he loses an argument and is found to not be correct. WHAT??) So many more I can't think of.…

You're so beautiful! Can't wait to see pics again when you hit goal.... there is NO DOUBT that you will!! You're rockin' this lifestyle. Can I ask, how much do you exercise? I ask because that's my weakness! I have the food/eating under control. Right now I'm walking briskly at 3.5 mph for 30 minutes a day and that's it.…

Fantastic!! Can I ask how you lost so quickly? Any tips?! I started at 205 got down to 192, fell off the wagon, recommitted myself May 31st at 198. I'm now 186. So from May 31st to Sunday, July 29th (I weigh-in once weekly on Sunday so there were 9 weekly weigh-ins), I am only down 12 pounds. That's an average of 1.3…

CONGRATS !!!! Because that took a TON of willpower to walk out!!!!!!! I can see your points, totally.... but.... I recently tried the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad at Wendy's and LOVED EVERY SINGLE BITE OF IT. The calorie count wasn't that bad either. The "fat" people you saw ordering and eating, surely were NOT eating salads.…

Great stats, but can't see the pics!? :cry:

I was going to say Marilyn Monroe, too. But I also think maybe Jennifer Lopez. She has big hips and a big butt. Although I am not of ethnic decent, I have both of those features as well.... of course, maybe I won't have the booty when I get to goal, but I will certainly have the hips because they run in the family! :laugh:…

Hey there. We're already "friends" on here. Just wanted to say that I have a SIMPLE IDEA that MAY work. Go to bed when your honey goes to bed. :D I don't have my mind in the gutter!! Although.... that'd be burning calories too ya know. Haha. :wink: No, but seriously, you said you SNEAK eat after he goes to bed.... so....…

Wow!!! I can't believe 13 pounds made such a big difference on you. You were beautiful before and now you are also fit! Way to go!! Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Fantastic job!!!!!!

I am 5'3" and currently 186 and I look MUCH BIGGER than you do in that picture! I started at 205 and you wanna talk about MORBIDLY OBESE??? :laugh: I think you look like you only need to lose 20 pounds, maybe 30. Don't be so hard on yourself. You're beautiful! If you want to see some OBESE pictures, look at mine! I'm not…

ordered a large Meat Lovers from Pizza hut and refused to share until.... (what? I have a craving, don't judge, LOL!)

I'm curious to hear the answers on this topic as well. Since I've been fat since....well...FOREVER...I don't even know what I look like under all the fat. So how would I know what my frame is? Right now it's XL. lol. Thanks for asking.

Sadly yes. Almost every time I shop for a baby shower gift. I find it easier to gift GIFT CARDS now for that very reason. Why does the cashier have to be so nosey anyways? I mean even IF I was expecting, it is none of her business. Sigh. Once a guy from XEROX came to our school to show our whole staff proper use of the new…

I am having the SAME PROBLEM. I usually only get around 1,000/day and am set to get 1,200/day. I guess I'm confused because I want to LOSE WEIGHT so I'm trying to eat things that are LOW in calories and fat and learning to make healthier choices, so why am I not having enough calories? I am eating 2-3 meals a day plus 2-3…

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I'm down 19 so far with 54 to go and not yet seeing it in my face. My face is much fuller than your before shot. I can't wait to lose the double chin and chubby cheeks. You give me hope and inspiration. P.S. It doesn't appear that you NEED the makeup. The healthy glow is BEAUTIFUL. <3

drool dripping from PrayerofAmity who had fainted. The Save the Zombie Society had a strict policy against bodily fluids. Jillian poured water on PrayerofAmity and.....

I'm 5'3" and I don't know what my goal is yet. The "lowest" I have ever weighed was 164 and that was back in college. I was heavier than that in middle school and high school. So I don't know where I'll feel comfortable, healthy, fit, and attractive. I have my goal set to 132 for the time being, but will re-evaluate when I…

zachary and aubrie - my kids. :D

better than her current Richard Simmons workout DVDs, until Jillian stepped through the TV and...

Wow! Nice story. You look amazing. I've been fat since 8 or 9 years old (35 now) and I have been in the 190's since about 8th grade (age 13) so I KNOW I am going to have loose skin and not just on my belly. I am already planning to have surgery when I get to goal (I'm not even close). I better start saving money now! But…

luvs2teachincali stepped in and whisked the zombie away to the local library in order to teach him to read, just then....

Man, I wish we could target it. I have lost 18 pounds so far (start 205, current 187) and I can tell.....brace yourself..... in my fingers first, oh boy, how awesome! not. in my knees next, that's helpful too! not. I have to sleep with a pillow between my knees now because they hurt since I'm a side sleeper and they feel…
