I have the same issue. I even went to Victoria's Secret and was so excited to finally be able to wear cute bras, but when I got remeasured after losing so much weight (50+ lbs), the lady was like, sorry honey, we don't go up to that cup size! While the band size dropped dramatically, the cup size didn't freakin' budge. Oh…

Sorry to go MIA last week everyone, I've had one hell of a week. School started back up, and handling that while working full time has definitely thrown my stress level into high gear. I have to wait until the kids go to bed before the intense studying can begin, so I just THOUGHT I was struggling with this before! I think…

Never fear, alicathammond, I am another big girl, here to support you and all the other motivated mommies! I have quite a ways to go to reach my goal, so I will be here for a while... Current weight...202 Waist....................39"

I have the same problem! I live in a crappy neighborhood. Like, I got mugged in my driveway in 2004, crappy. I REFUSE to walk/jog by myself outside, but can't really afford to buy a treadmill, join a gym or um, MOVE. I thought maybe going to the local high school track would be an option, but they usually have some sport…

I would love to join! I have a 9-year old step son who lives with us full time, and a two-year old daughter. I lost weight right away from breastfeeding right after having her, but the stress of being a full time working mom, going to graduate school and having a very emotional home life due to circumstances that I cannot…

Argh!! I just said no to an ice cream sandwich. But I WANT it! I'm going to brush my teeth really fast so I can't change my mind. Gonna go to bed early so I won't think about it any more. Good Lord, being alone late at night SUCKS!!!!!!!

Bump. I am so there in that plateau right now, and needed to read this at this moment. Thanks.

My cut-off is 7 pm. I have had a rough couple of days mentally. Somehow I have hit a plateau, despite finally starting to do everything right. I have had only a few slip-ups, and even then I stayed within my calories. I have been exercising more, yet the weight has stopped coming off. I am not going to use that as an…

Congrats, jaune, on the first pound lost! I ate after my cut-off time last night, but was able to keep it healthy, so I feel that was a victory in its own right. And I stayed within my calories! YAY!
-
I love this message board. I can be totally honest about how miserably I failed at this, and no one judges, everyone just lifts me up and encourages me! I stunk it up this weekend, for real. We ate dinner late every night (what is it about the weekends???), and I tried to make healthier choices, but wasn't very successful.…

Well, the first time I lost weight, the only major change that I made was switching from regular soda to diet. I lost about 45 pounds with just that one change. But I also drank 2-3 Pepsi's a day, so we're talking about dropping 450 calories/day just in beverages. That weight loss obviously wasn't permanent, and now I am…

Good job, Nikki143, you're a freakin' rock star! Thanks for the encouragement, lulabelle, I definitely need it. So, last night sucked for me. I caved. I had the calories to do it, but this time that wasn't done on purpose. But still... I think my husband is trying to sabotage me. He brought home those wafer sticks with the…

I'm assuming you are restricting your calories, and if you're like me, this has thrown your blood sugar all out of whack. As a lifetime migraine sufferer, I have many triggers, and low blood sugar is definitely one of them. To keep the headaches from coming on with a vengeance during exercise, I have to make sure that I…

We ended up eating a later dinner than usual last night due to some family issues. My hubby brought me home a 6-inch sub, but I didn't finish eating until about 7:20. So I didn't quite meet the cut-off time, but after that I was full for the rest of the night and didn't have the urge to munch until he started texting me at…

Jalapeno Kettle Cooked Chips are my weakness. OMG, I can't stop eating them once I start! I, too, am alone in the evenings, as my husband is gone for work. Once the kids are in bed, it's a dangerous time. Loneliness makes me do crazy things (calories don't count if no one else sees.............right?) And that's why I'm…

Good morning everyone, I'm proud of you all for sticking to your goals! I stuck to my cut-off time of 7 pm, but fell asleep hungry and then slept like crap. Woke up at 2:30am feeling kinda shaky, but I take a beta blocker (propranolol) and a seizure med (topamax) both for daily migraine preventation and I know the side…

I live in Fort Worth, TX! Where in the Metroplex do you live?
-
Can I join? This has become my biggest struggle. My husband is often gone for work, so I spend all my week-nights alone and as soon as the kids are in bed and the loneliness hits...out come the BBQ chips. It's terrible, and I am racked with guilt over it. But get this, looking at my food diary, I have noticed that I have…
-
Just to offer a slightly different perspective... You mentioned that your husband recently lost his job...my family recently went through this and my husband reacted in a similar way. He completely withdrew and had no interest in living healthy (or much at all for that matter!) My husband also smokes and makes unhealthy…

The Fresco menu is nothing new, they actually started this back in the '90's when I worked there as a teenager. Now they have just simply jumped on the "Jared" bandwagon and attached a skinny spokesperson to it. The entire thing is laughable to me from a dieting standpoint; but I also work in marketing, and see the…
