I'm proud because when I woke up at 7:30 and the kids were still sleeping, I decided to work out instead of sitting around watching tv :)

I have two left feet, am a total clutz, and am very uncoordinated...that being said, I was invited to a zumba class by a friend and am now totally hooked! I've gotten better at it over the past month, and I KNOW I've worked out by the time I'm finished with the class. My exersize options are pretty few due to having 2…

When I think about pop tarts, I think about the pain they caused me when my gallbladder started failing...So guess I have a different reason for not liking the dern things....

I used to be afraid of the pink panther...

I use Xtreme Wellness, they have 5 net carbs, and I only eat one a day with breakfast, but they are good!

I went to a bariatric Dr to get me started, and yes, used the pills that they gave me for a few months. They helped me get started on learning how to eat the way I eat, which is low carb, no sugar. Once I could do it on my own willpower, I stopped the pills, but they did help me with appitite suppression while I was…

The other two deer burgers that are now sitting in my fridge...man, the one I had for supper was sooooooo good, lol

2 egg whites, 1 slice turkey bacon, 1/8 cup of cheese, wrapped in an xtreeme wellness tortilla...fills me up and super quick!

I have lost 135 lbs and it was pretty fast. 100 of it has been since march of 2012. I don't have major loose skin, but still have about 30 lbs to go and I think I may have issues with my belly. I had 3 csections, and have some overhang, I think due to the scars and where they are. A friend of mine lost a good bit of weight…

I have three kiddos, 13 year old daughter, 7 year old daughter, and 2 year old little boy who has me wrapped around his finger!

Aren't that what weekends are for?

Our church did a weight loss challenge a few years ago with our local hospital. They told us that whatever weight you want to be at, for men, multiply it by 11 and that is the amount of calories you should consume daily. For women it was your goal times 10. Not sure if that helps, but thought it was interesting anyways!

My daughter got to watch the last twilight movie by herself while I sat with my two year old son in the lobby...smh...

I have done low carb for for 10 months now and have lost 135 lbs. But you have to have the protein! My Dr. said not to pay too much attention to the fats, but to eat healty. I have done 25 carbs/1200 cals/no sugar. Bryers ice cream has a low carb that's really good, called Carb smart, for your sweet tooth. Lots of chicken,…

I was in a high stress job and also 135 lbs heavier than I am today! Now I work for myself with a friend of mine making more money and so much less stress! By June of 2013 I plan on being at my goal weight and able to fearlessly wear that bikini if I so choose, lol!

Keep up the good work! It's so awesome when you can actually see the results of the hard work!

Wasabi almonds or Bryers Carb Smart Chocolate ice cream with almonds...I love the crunch!

And my uncle had a boss named Harry Nodes. And my sis had a friend whos dad's name was Harry Pitts...lol

I have a friend, that had she been a boy, her parents were going to name her Baron Von...her maiden name is Weatherford...Baron Von Weatherford. What are people thinking? lol Also, my sister had a cousin whos name was Richard...everyone called him Rusty ****? Sheesh...

Thanks for the info!

I have lost over 125 lbs eating low carb. The Dr. told me 25 grams a day, and 1200 calories. She said don't worry as much about the fat, which is off from the way we think most of the time. Low fat usually means high sugar, and more carbs. It's the only thing that has ever worked as a permanent way of eating for me. I will…

Hypermagnesemia is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an abnormally elevated level of magnesium in the blood.[1] Usually this results in excess of magnesium in the body. Hypermagnesemia occurs rarely because the kidney is very effective in excreting excess magnesium. It usually develops only in people with kidney…

We were at Hilton Head this year...these were the first pictures taken of me since this time last year, and over 100 lbs less than I was last year :) It's the only time in probably the last 10 years that I voluntarily had my picture taken, lol

I could finish anything, regardless of the size of it or how many it was suppose to feed. Would be miserablely stuffed afterwards, but didn't care. Now, if I know it's something I would overdo it on, I don't touch it! Everyone says, "One bite won't hurt!" Oh, yes it will! Because it wouldn't be just one bite, I would want…

My Dr. put me on a 25g carb/1200 cal. diet in March, and I have lost over 80 lbs since I started it, and I am hardly ever hungry. I was also a carb junky, and the no sugar thing freaked me out, but it's not been near as hard as I thought it was going to be. She told me don't worry about the fat, just the calories and…

Yay! You look awesome!

I am approximately 80 pounds less than it says on my drivers license...lol

I have about 40 left to lose, and have lost over 100 so far...doesn't that feel great to say!? Add me :)

Loving daddy :)

Am SOOOOO with you on this! I choose beef jerkey over cupcakes and end up feeling like a failure because of the sodium? No way! My blood pressure is so much better than it use to be, when my decisions on this were reversed, so I feel like I'm doing the right thing for myself, and you are too! I'm down 100 lbs, so I must be…
