Wow. I cannot believe all the catty people that are just totally dogging her right now. ME-OUCH!! Well, she's wasn't the only one that thought that she could eat whatever she wanted when pregnant, gained a whole bunch of weight, and is having difficulty losing it. I did the exact same thing and it took me about 2 years to…

I, too, an an avid coffee drinker. I used to drink mine with sugar and flavored creamer. When looking at the calorie intake of the sugar and creamer, I decided to learn how to drink my coffee black. It wasn't easy at first. I started buying the whole bean flavoured coffee. That helped alot. For me, it wasn't worth the…

I've been cursed with that as well. I do the can of veggies foot roll while sitting at my desk at work. That helps. ...So does doing the foot stretches (on a step). Go slow and easy at first. Best of luck to you!!

LOL, am I the only one here that doesn't like Nutella? Fussy eating habits will never go away if you don't nip them in the bud. My step-daughter is 11 years old and is still a very fussy eater. She lives on garlic bread and butter noodles when she visits. She will down soda and brownies, but acts like real food is killing…

I've been told by 2 different trainers that I needed to STOP focusing on trying to burn as many calories as I could and to focus on getting my heart rate over 120 for at least 20-30 minutes. It was explained that this will cause my metabolism to increase and I'll continue to burn calories after I'm finished with my…

I love my cottage cheese with mandarin oranges or fresh pineapple. YUMMY!

Where are your green leafy veggies and fruit? :smile:

Andreamkelly... My hat's of to you. You are a wonderful mother and an awesome grandma! :flowerforyou:

I wish! Wouldn't that be great? :flowerforyou:

A breakfast sandwich from Papa's Downtown Deli. I stuck with my Chobani for breakfast. :flowerforyou:

Good job! I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work!

I eat meat and lots of it. I admit, I do need to eat more fruits and veggies though.

I'm in the market for a treadmill as well. As an insurance agent, I've had some claims where treadmills have cased fires. Please purchase one of those mats that go under the treadmill and unplug the treadmill when not in use. 3 treadmill fires in 18 months is a little too close for comfort for me.

Good for you! I am so proud of you. :)

It doesn't take much to slip. One day turns into several and it take a while to get back into the swing of things. That's why moderation is vital. I hate the guilt that plagues me after I go on a binge. "Why do I keep doing this to myself?" goes though my head and I beat myself up about it. =( Horrible.

Alien.

My dad is Scottish and our family actually have our own tartan. My brother has a kilt with our family's tartan and wears it on occasion. He doesn't look bad, but then again he is BUILT. NO ONE makes fun of my brother when he wears his... but then again, my brother is 6'1" and is built like a brickhouse. :laugh:

Way to go! You look great!!

Spiders, clowns, Walmart and touching money.

Um... YEAH! I can tell a BIG difference. You look FANTASTIC! You've lost a lot of weight and several inches. That took a lot of effort and you should be very proud of yourself. Way to go!! :o)

Wow... I guess I'm pretty fortunate. The gym that I've been using either has very polite and courteous members or I'm becoming more patient as I age (highly unlikely).

Rear. I have trouble with too many r's as well.

Neener neener neener!!

I can relate to having a sweet tooth. I love my sweets, however; I will burn my intake of chocolate and junk by getting on the treadmill and burning those calories off of me. I make the conscience decision every day that if I eat snacky junk then I go to the gym and burn it off. NO MATTER WHAT. What has this done for me?…

In my honest opinion, losing weight is a challenge for all people who are overweight. If weight loss was easy, none of us would be overweight, huh? When someone is at the point of having to have the lap band or the bariatric surgery, it's because they are morbidly obese and NOTHING else has worked. It's not the easy way…

Amazing! Wonderful effort! You look great! :o)

After a horrible marriage and my walking papers, I met my best friend and ended up marrying him about 2 1/2 years after the divorce. We weren't looking for a relationship other thn friendship, but things happened and I thank God for it. :happy: After the divorce and a brief moment of insanity (I gave it one more shot with…

It's horrible. I'm dealing with it now. The weight gain is all in my stomach and it makes me look pregnant! I know it will go away, but still. Then my fingers are so swollen that they hurt. I'll have to try limiting my sodium intake. Maybe that will help!

:noway: That is quite a change! You look GREAT!! Nice job!:happy:
