I’m 46, need to lose 30ish pounds and a serial starter at weight loss. Super stressed with a new job so I’ve been eating my feelings

This is really interesting. I'm in school for my bachelor of science in nursing and I've gained 15 pounds from stress eating. I feel foggier now and hate the way my clothes fit. I'm trying to find a good coping strategy (or 12 lol) that I can use this semester. Thanks for the post!

Congratulations and welcome! It is a great place for good info and accountability. The positive feedback makes a huge difference! Friend me if you like :happy:

It helps to connect with encouraging like minded friends!!! Hang in there and stick with it! You are setting a great example for your boys and your husband :) Feel free to add me as a friend. I am trying to lose about 30 pounds or as much as my body will let me (hopefully, more!...wouldlove to see that pre child waistline…

I hear ya sister!!!! I can't wait to shop and actually not feel like slitting my wrists! Friend me if you like...the more the support and accountability the better :happy:

You look BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

I know it's been very hard for me too! My husband is able to lose weight much faster than I can:grumble: I have some physical limitations that keep me from being able to work out as much as I would like...I know that slows me down, frustrating as it is. We just have to keep plugging away cuz the alternative is not…

You can never have too much good support and affirmation! Add me as a friend if you like :happy:

Totally agree with this!!!! "We" need to learn to eat whatever is appealing to us, just make it as healthyas possible and eat it in MODERATION! Sorry about the confusion...I'm stillgetting used to all the bells and whistles :blushing:

Congratulations!!!!! Now that's a reason to motivate if there ever was one!! This is a fantstic place for accountability and info! Add me as a friend if you like :)

Can you pack a can of soup or other things that you can fix? Easy, not asking anyone to go out of their way and maybe no one will notice :)

Sounds like a plan! I am turning 39 next month and have about 30 pounds to go....and keep gone :happy: Add me too! We need all the support and motivation we can get!!!!!!!!!!!

Only problem I would have with that would be the boob issue. Try doubling up on your bras ( two at a time ) Or your regular bra and a sports bra on top. Sports Authority carries some extended sized in underwire, etc. Worth the investment! :blushing:

i'm trying to lose around the same amount...friend me and we can motivate each other!

That must feel great to be able to SEE the difference! You look fantastic! Keep up the hard work!

Good job ladies!!! My girls are all out of the baby stage, but I still remember how hard the postpartum body issues were! Please just remember to be kind to yourself...your bodies just gave you amazing gifts and had to work incredibly hard to do it. Enjoy those babies...they grow waaaaay to fast :ohwell:

Glad to see you here with a smile!!! You came to right place!

Thank you soooo much for the inspiring words....good for you!!! I have noticed tht if I REALLY think about it, sometimes the foods that I think are ging to make me "bad" or eat out of control, they really aren't as good as my head make it out to be ! How cool is that realization..and freeing!!!! enjoy your holidays!!!

Welcome! Glad you found this sight...its great for info, support, etc. :happy:

thanks for the feedback! I was panicking that all that might not count! And if anyone wants a good workout, I just went back outside and it doesn't look like I hardly did a thing! AHHHH!

Taco soup. Saute onion in sm amt of oil. Add beef to brown, then add taco seasoning. Then dump in 2+ cans of chopped tomatoes with green chilies, 1+can tomato sauce, 1+can each of kidney beans, black beans, and corn (don't drain). I also like to add green beans if i'm in the mood. Let simmer for about 45 minutes if you…

I also am sensitive to gluten and try to stay away from anything with it. I used to shop at whole foods, but it got too expensive so I really just don't eat any breads or cookies, etc. I find gluten free edamame crackers and rice pasta at trader joe's. I've noticed that my stomach is smaller from less bloating. Even if…

There are just those days that I feel hungrier than I "should". I know when I don't drink enough water the hunger is worse (like right now :| ). Hang in there and listen to your bod, try not to get so frustrated that you fall completely off the wagon and say screw it.. It's not all or nothing!!!!!

I love avocado on a tuna sandwich :)

Glad you found us! You are right this is much better than any "diet". Way to go with all the exercise!!! Keep it up :)

is the wii zumba anything like the "just dance"? My kids love that one, but I'm always looking for more ways to keep them moving during these winter months :)

This is a great place to be! Good luck with your journey :)

I also struggle with chronic pain and other issues that make working out like I would like to very difficult :( Congratulations on you purchase !!!!! Makes me wish I had an xbox! I can't look at bright lights or flashing lights at all. Kinda rules out video game stuff :( I LUV to walk outside (and so do my dogs!) so I do…

Congratulations! No better time to start than now :) All the info on this site and the support and tracking visually really helps me! Add me as a friend if you like..it's always nice to have those to hold you accountable and give you a lift or a giggle every now and then:happy:
