Ok - I am absolutely the opposite - I recently quit my job and I have to force myself to make sure I eat enough every day (especially since I am logging). I gained weight when I went to work outside the home. Strange I know.

In 1990, I was 25, weighed 220 lbs when I got a divorce. But for me - I guess the divorce did it - I lost weight. There for a while I wouldn't eat at all - then when I did eat - my jaws gave me problems - like they forgot how to chew. But, obviously, I got over that! You are already in change mode - because you did this…

Just remember - we didn't put this weight on overnight (although sometimes it seems that we did) and it won't come off overnight. I only weigh once a week, Friday a.m. Never take a peak through the weak. The body fluctuates too much and that can mess with your head. Remember - diet is temporary and has an ending -…

Superb transformation! Amazing!

You go girl! Show those boys!

Wow! You look great! Such an inspiring story. Thank you!

First thing Friday morning, after emptying my bladder, of course. No reason to it. December 7 I woke up and said this is the day and it happened to be a Friday.

Great job!

Absolutely beautiful! Such an inspiring story! Thank you so much!

Gorgeous! Be very proud of your success!

Definitely make more of the veggies you are going to eat. Tonight I grilled chicken and, before we ate, I said, the smaller pieces of chicken are for me.

I totally agree with you!

Wow! Loved this! Thank you very much!

I know how I feel and look at my goal weight - I like myself between 160-170.

You have a great plan and that is the best way to start! I am not hardcore fitness so I won't send you a friend request. But I know you will be successful! (I think it is great you have six children by the way - I am one of six. My husband is retired Navy, I have a son-in-law in the Army and two of my brothers were in the…

You can do this! And you have children, so you HAVE to do this. They need you. Please get the help you need for them as well as yourself. You have made a great first step posting this. You know what you need to do, now do it! YOU CAN DO THIS! If you would like to send me a friend request, I will be glad to support you!…

Beautiful!

After cooking it - I put some splenda, cinnamon and a dash of skim milk! I have just started using the old fashioned oats instead of the instant and I am in love!

Nope - never have - I've never taken a laxative in my life (fortunately I have never NEEDED one) and I drink 8-16 oz unsweet tea a day. That is all the caffeine I get.

This is a great thread! Just what I needed to read tonight!

Great thread!

Very interested in what the responses will be on this. I, too, am thinking about starting a lifting routine, but do not want to join a gym nor invest a large amount of money. I know my health is very important and worth any investment - don't get me wrong -

You look great! I haven't seen a difference yet. I will be so glad when I do!

During my first marriage, I got along wonderful with my MIL - lived across the street, we worked together everyday - had evening meals together many nights, but when her son decided to have an affair and leave me with two small sons, she did too (thankfully his dad did not abandon my oldest son who was 4 1/2 - my youngest…

Amazing! Great job!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thread. Very helpful! Thanks everyone!
