Nice progress

Nice!!! Congrats on reaching a goal.

You did good making the appointment. It's probably good that it is sooner, rather than later, so you don't have too much time to get all worked up for weeks. Try to practice some relaxation techniques. You told the dentist that you are afraid and they will probably be on alert for that. Keep in mind that detistry has…

I am curious as to what your doctor suggests. Just saying everything is fine, isn't enough. I would find a different doctor. It could be stress, dehydration, anxiety. I can't imagine the doctor not suggesting these things too though. Anxiety can do a number on your heart rate. If you are stressed and walking at a moderate…

We do that too! So, one day I came up with a compromise and I took the odd days he gets the even days. After the first month of getting 2 days in a row he deicided we needed to switch and take turns with the years too. Now Jan 1 we trade odd to even again. I somehow still wound up with an extra day, because I get the leap…

Did you already do this? What was the reaction. I am thinking that if you are asking this, it is probably a first date and I would say that would make it awkward. If it were and old friend, then tell them what you are doing. If it is a first date hold off and make a mental split of the plate until you are both done eating.

Sometimes it takes more strength you walk away than it actually takes to choke them. This is one of those times. You are blessed to be alive and have a beautiful baby too. I am sure your baby will grow up with that same kind of strength. Don't let some stupid ignorant comment get you down. Congrats.

The hardest thing with teenage girls is balance. You don't want them to struggle and feel self contious, but you don't want them to have an eating disorder either. 13 it a hard age. You have all the physical and hormonal changes. You have high school and peer pressure. All that stress doesn't help anyone lose wieght. (…

I completed it and I have never ever run before in my life. 1) Was it easier or harder than you expected? Both, I had days that were eaiser and days that were harder. I really think it was a mental thing more than physical. (if that makes sense.) 2) Did you start on week one - if not how did you decide which week to start…

If you are starving then your body needs something. I hate to say, but I would go agaist their advice. Eat some more lean satisfying protiens that will help you get protien and make you feel fuller longer. I didn't look at your diary, and I am not trying to tell you what to do, but you are the one starving. I truly believe…

I have five kids, I know picky. If she says she can't swallow, you need to take her to the doctors.

I actually knew that. I didn't know the orginal date was 11/26th, but I did know it was in Nov and that is was changed to the fourth Thurs in Nov. There are lots of holidays that have been changed aroung like that. Apparently we Americans like our 3 day weekends. :laugh: Martin Luther King Jr's birthday in Jan and…

I don't want to get into semantics, but I think you are not talking about food guilt here. From what you desctibed in you intro, you made it sound like food guilt over a little cheat here and there, that is a bad thing. When you go on an all out splurge and you feel guilty, "you SHOULD." I'm not saying you need to beat…

Congrats!!

AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!! I feel your pain. Put them in the freezer until your oven is fixed.

Stick to it!!!!

When I prove my boss wrong. Not because he is wrong, but because I am right and it gives me confidence.

That's awesome! Congrats.

I went and looked at your food journal and it's not bad. I don't know what you have for setting, but I would go and make sure you have them all set correctly. The other thing I would do is make sure you are tracking every calorie that passes your lips. Include juices, coffee cream and sugars, etc. The other thing you…

Ditto I would be grossed out too, btw. I am a bit of a germophobe.

That's awesome. I love coming up with things like that. I lost two turkeys.

sliced bread. it just hadn't been discovered yet.:laugh: Oh, wait! wasn't that the answer to some mountain question? :wink:

I somewhat agree. I think if you are going to get in your car, you might as well drive the whole way. How far can their school really be? I don't think that the streets are as safe as they were when we were kids either. I think depending on what neighborhood dinamics are, kids are not as safe at the bus stop. On the other…

I would say if you have only met her a couple of times, you should say nothing. I don't know if it was distance that kept you apart, or if it was your son, :indifferent: catch my drift. Love her and accept her the way she is. You didn't pick her, your son did, so let him help her if he thinks she needs it. Best wishes.…

In the grand scheme of things it's not. When you look at health care and the minute details, it is not cheaper to eat healthy than unhealthy. It is however; cheaper to buy a pound of pasta, that will go further, than a pound of apples, that doesn't count quite as a meal. When you are living on a very tight budget and have…

I know it's hard to have that kind of heart to heart, but look back and analyz it from a different perspective, now that you have had time to stew it over a bit. Look at your personality then and as it is now. Your husband may have been a littl ashamed to be seen with you because you were a overweight, but was it weight,…

Keep up the good work. You can definitely see a difference and I bet you feel much better too.

That is awesome. Congrats.
