Thank you all so much! Motivation accomplished! :)

I'm totally in the same boat. My motivation is at an all-time low, and I'm getting pretty depressed. And I hear you on others' being "sweet." My bff showed up with a surprise Dr. Pepper, my boyfriend got surprise pizza, when I was really depressed about something, he pulled into a Culvers and said ice cream would cheer me…

Thank you for this!

Not to be a downer, but you really shouldn't be trying to LOSE weight while you're pregnant. It's not healthy for your baby. I know your profile says "pregnant and scared of gaining weight," and that you don't want to surrender your body to weight gain, but it's a fact of life with a pregnancy, and weight gain is a GOOD…

Wow! Thanks for doing all that work and math! :p I can't wait to see how much we all lose...

Just had to say that I love the term "up and down like a fiddler's elbow." Haha! :) Your user name is pretty awesome, too.

Wow! Totally shocked about the artificial sweeteners, but on reflection, I always *did* suspect they were addictive and made you fatter - just didn't know how or have proof. I try to stay away from them due to the chemical aspect, but now this is even more reason to avoid them! Thanks for posting.

You look breathtaking!!! WOW. Your waist is so perfect that it looks corseted! Absolutely gorgeous! Great job!

AWESOME! What a difference! You looks absolutely beautiful. :)

Excellent! Congratulations on both counts!!!

Great job! You look stunning in that red dress - I love it!

What a change! Keep up the great work - it's paying off!

You look gorgeous! What a pretty mama. :)

I can TOTALLY tell the difference. You look amazing!

Amazing! Way to go - you're looking great!

What a change! Good job! And I LOVE your dress! :)

I agree with this!

I'm kind of late, but I'm in! Start wt: 188 Mini-goal wt: 178

Wait, you're not in therapy and on medication..? :embarassed: Hehe.

LMAO. Love it!

Wow, thank you all so much. Now I'm almost crying again, but for a good reason! You all, my MFP family, are what keep me coming back here, even when I stumble, fall, and then fall again. I feel like my face is covered in road rash at the moment, but you all made me feel a little warmer and fuzzier inside. Thank you. Oh,…

Wow. Thank you all so much. I just realized how whiny it seems that I'm so depressed about being off for a week and a half and only gaining 3 pounds from it, when some of you have struggled way more. I guess it's the impatient "gotta have it now" thing. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one this is happening to because…

I'm in the same boat, but mine's from Thanksgiving binging. *sigh* Hauling my (slightly fluffier) *kitten* back into the saddle. :)

Thanks so much for the input. I've got my loss set at 1.5 a week, so I'll bump it down to 1 instead. That, and I didn't even realize that I actually AM exercising - more than I thought, too. I just forget about stuff with the horses and dogs and such, so that's probably why I'm still losing (thank god) even though I'm…

Thanks for the input, guys. I thought my diary WAS public - how do I make it so? That would definitely be helpful. And I haven't been exercising at all. :embarassed: Or drinking enough water....

Wow - you look STUNNING! Absolutely wonderful! That makes me feel like it'll be soooo worth it! :)

You look amazing!!! Way to go! In the picture taken from the back, it looks like two totally different people! (and I'm sure in some ways, it is!)

Me too! :flowerforyou:

Love these! :)
