Good for you..... You should feel proud!::drinker:

Living proof that " eat less, move more" works for most of us.:flowerforyou: great work!

:flowerforyou: Fantastic work.... You can see a beautiful curvy self emerging.

You are setting a great example by becoming more healthy.....you may be able to turn it into a brief teachable moment.:flowerforyou:

What everyone else said. It is what it is... But you are CHANGING that picture with every day that passes. Hang in, keep going, and you will become even more beautiful.

Don't ever be sorry or shy about NSVs.... This is awesome:flowerforyou:

BEST ADVICE EVER! :flowerforyou: So happy for you. Fantastic progress to a healthy and gorgeous new you:flowerforyou:

What a great gift you have given yourself :flowerforyou:

That must feel amazing! Great job and keep going..::flowerforyou:

Every milestone for your child...as this is...is both the start of a new chapter in your parenting life and the end of another chapter. Bittersweet. Let yourself have time to grieve the old... And then embrace the new. You and she will be just fine.

3 steps forward, one step back.... Take the step and keep moving.

That is great... Keep up the fantastic work:drinker:

Welcome to both of you. Lots of great support (and most importantly, good humour) here. :drinker: Edit for sp.

Fantastic... Keep on going!

Wonderful progress and a sensible attitude. Love that dress onyou....look what a great figure is emerging! :drinker: :flowerforyou: Edit for spelling.

Many of us will struggle with our weight all our lives and will have ups and downs. Sometimes we can control it for longer periods more successfully and others less so. We all feel we are less attractive when bigger. If you are actually repulsed by your partner during his up times, you may need to reconsider being together.

Beautiful then. Beautiful now. More importantly, you are clearly beautiful inside too. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Great work and great attitude :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Great job and a terrific example for your child. Happy Fit Mother's Day

You are a beautiful and shapely 37 year old... You were a beautiful 17 year old too. They mean well but are not seeing you as you really are. Be proud and don't fret.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: fantastic... Keep up the great work :flowerforyou:

Great work.. You look gorgeous in that royal blue... Keep us posted as you continue on:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

There is a lovely Yiddish word for a woman with curves: zaftig. It's an appreciative and positive word. Take "meaty" the same way.

I like the 80/20 philosophy... Aim for 80% of the time to be making healthier choices, forgive yourself and enjoy the 20% of the time you don't.

For calcium, use unsweetened almond milk in your smoothies.

You guys look amazing:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :indifferent:

OP, glad you went to class, honey. Keep moving forward and don't let binges paralyze you. Good luck:flowerforyou:

Aim for healthier, fitter, stronger...not thinner. Reframe your definition of success. We may slowly slowly slowly conquer the menopot... But positive gains in strength and endurance and fitness and wisdom are much easier to come by.
