Anyone feel free to add me. I have 25-30 to lose.

I take a multivitamin & fish oil every morning with breakfast. I found out yesterday I can't take them on an empty stomach or I feel like puking all day. Since taking the pills I have noticed my weightloss has been more steady & I feel better. Do I think it's from the pills alone, absolutely not! But I think it is because…

That's me! I'm 136 now and started out at 144 in July. My goal is to get to 120 by December 31st. I am 5'3" and I feel like every ounce shows on me :frown: I'm also a HORRIBLE boredom eater! Anyone feel free to add me!

Just received an email this morning that my book is on its way! This may be answered in the book but I figure I will ask it here since I like to have all my ducks in a row when I'm planning things. I am still working on getting to my goal weight and have about 15-ish pounds to go. Should I focus on fat loss for now and…

I chug ice cold water & wait awhile to see if the craving passes, most of the time it does. When it doesn't I'm full of water so the amount that I eat isn't what I would without. I'm a horrible boredom eater so night is torture for me! Sitting & watching tv doing nothing I just want something to eat with no real craving.…

I had a co-worker ask me to give her a ride home because her taxi driver wasn't available. I was 19 at the time and me thinking taxi = $$$ to go far she wouldn't live far away from work. She told me "close to downtown". Downtown was only about 10 minutes drive past my house & I had no other plans so I said yes. Not only…

At least your doctor is trying to get it straightened out! I'm sure I would be pretty upset too. My ad on the side is for the Disney Resort here in Hawaii...my son wants to go so bad but its $400 a night :-/

I've seen diabetic cookbooks at the library. Maybe grab one and find some easy recipes and compile them in a book or something for her. Involve her in every process (planning, shopping, cooking) and show her that it isn't THAT bad or hard to do, she just has to really pay attention to whats going on, and your grandpa too.…

Even when I was 115lbs I had thighs & *kitten*, everything else was tiny. I didn't complain & neither did my husband! Since I've started losing weight 2 months ago I've gone from 41" to 39" Hips and 24" to 23.5" Thigh...I don't think they're gonna really go anywhere and I'm ok with that! Now if only I could find a way for…

I just found a pair at Ross & they had a ton of different styles!

Start weight: 143.6 Goal Weight: 120-125 (depending how I feel once I get there!) Lbs to Lose: 18-23 by my 10th Anniversary (Dec 18) 8/18: 140 9/22: **Mini Goal** 135 ACTUAL WEIGHT 137.2 10/27: **Mini Goal** 130 12/1: **Mini Goal** 125 25th Dec: <<<GOAL WEIGHT>>> Loss of 20 lbs would put me at 123.6 12/31: ULTIMATE GOAL…

If i know it's something "bad" I'll look for something similar in the food list and pick the one with the highest cals for the size of proportion I ate. I'd rather over estimate than under estimate and pay for it later.

I love cottage cheese with salad! I make sure to get a little cottage cheese, raisins, some kind of sweet dressing like Catalina, salad veggies & something crunchy like croutons or chow mien noodles or sunflower seeds!

Water!!! I get the same way where my brain just gets hooked on one thing and won't stop. Today it was taco bell. I drank a big glass of water and had a hot dog and chips instead. Still not a super healthy choice but it was also 300 cals vs who knows what if I would have went to Taco Bell! Try to redirect your brain, if you…

Just like exercise, pace yourself and him! My son gets frustrated at times and we take a break & come back in a little while. For my son even a short bike ride to the mailbox or around the block gives him enough of a breather that he's ready to work when we come back inside. I've found when he gets frustrated he stops…

My son is 3rd grade and spends probably 2-3 hours a night on homework, plus homework weekends, which is usually studying for tests and quizzes. Kindergarten was about an hour. His nights usually consist of reading (2x to himself 1x out loud to parents), spelling (copy 20 words 3x), Math (writing the entire equation out and…

This sounds alot like me. I am 5'3" and goal weight is 120-125 depending on how I feel once I get there

He may have meant well but he certainly could have approached it in a different way! Maybe waited until you got up and came to you personally instead of announcing it to the entire table, though I would never have the balls to approach a complete stranger in public about their weight. Slipped you a piece of paper with his…

I remember a kid in my 3rd grade class had a martini glass shaved into the back of his head!

LOL, my mom or husband wouldn't literally make a comment but would probably look at me funny if I went out with my butt hanging out of my shorts and a few inches away from my boobs falling out of the bottom of my shirt! But I also wouldn't go out dressed like that, now or when I was a teenager, so I don't have anything to…

If you're referring to the girls outfit I saw, that was my reaction exactly...along with WTF! It's hot where I live but it's not THAT hot!

Same here! I knew better than to bring a note home, or god forbid they called my mom at work, my *kitten* would have been grass! My husband and I are glad that my son has always worn uniforms. I'm not even sure that he realizes that not all kids wear uniforms. One of his schools gave the kids freedom to pick shirt colors…

Friday is my first official weigh in, and first goal weight date! As of this morning I am 3.4 lbs away from my mini goal! Feeling kinda nervous and excited at the same time. Had a "bad food" weekend so I guess I should be glad I did weigh in less than last Monday, just wish it had been more and I was closer to my mini goal!

We had a similar dress code when I was in high school, and it really wasn't that big of a deal (12 years ago)! The rules for girls shorts were that nothing could "show" if bent over. All of mine fit into the dress code, until we got a new principal during the school year that said they had to be fingertip length. I have…

My grandpa made me learn my social security number My entire family taught me to respect military service members, and their families for the sacrifices that they make (both grandfathers retired from the Air Force, who knew I'd end up being a military spouse!) Respect & manners were also big in my family. We have passed it…

Reading in the car does it for me, always has, though I have never gotten to the point of actually getting sick.

Way to go! Friend request sent

I measure around my belly button, hips and thigh. Those are the places I "care" about seeing a change the most. I know you can't spot lose but those areas I am most self conscious about.
