  • First of all, CONGRATS!!! 80 pounds down is awesome!! Completely been there. Fat girl mentality is how I explained it to my husband. You KNOW that the weightloss has happened but you just can't SEE it. Since you say therapy is not an option, which probably would help a lot, try writing about it in a journal. Write about…

  • Sure did. I spent 10 months dropping 60 pounds eating at 1200 calories and working out 4-6 days a week at an hour each time. NOW, the downside. I took a one month road trip with my family where it was impossible for me to meet those standards. Not only did I not continue dropping weight, I packed on 20 pounds by the time…

  • I think you've gotten some good advice so far. I'm not sure how old were talking about but I've been exercising off and on in front of my youngest since she was an infant. I've even done "Walk a Way The Pounds" with a toddler strapped to my back. When she got old enough, I encouraged her to workout with me. Granted it…

  • When I lost 60 pounds 2 years ago, I bought a ring guard so that I could still wear them. For our anniversary, my husband bought me a temporary set, simple plain band, until I was finished with my weightloss journey and then we'd get them resized.

  • I'M 5'10 1/2". My initial weight goal is 160. I figure once I hit that, I'll see how I feel and look and decide from there if I want to make any changes.

  • I'm not diabetic, according to the doctors, but have been extremely sensitive to changes in my blood sugar since I had gestational with my youngest 6 years ago. I monitor my blood sugar daily. Typically 3 times a day but if I'm feeling off, I'll do another check. I make sure to keep my protein intake up and I try not to go…

  • Theoretically, yes. However; there are some things to keep in mind. If he doesn't eat all day long and then eats one big meal, he's going to mess up his metabolism. Even if it's something like a handful of almonds within an hour of waking up and another small snack in the middle of the day, it'd be better than not eating…

  • I'm a SAHM, homeschooled for 6 years although this year we are "home educating" our kids are doing Iowa Public Online. 3 kids ranging from 6 to 15. I've just restarted my weight-loss journey. I lost 60 pounds in 2011, only to gain 40 of it back due to stress eating last year. Now I'm getting back on track and determined to…
