Thank you :)

Hey ~ I'm in Chicago, no where near you but if you would like to add me i could always type with an accent just like I am now! LOL!

Well, it all depends....school days I get up at 5:30 am so that I can actually drink my coffee while its still hot. Watch the news so that I can stay in touch with the outside world. 6:30 am I try to wake 2 out of the 3 kids. 7am I start my mean mommy voice in order for them to actually get up. I then make breakfast and…

Thank you everyone for your info! I appreciated it sooo much!

Wow! You have done such a great job!! Congratulations on your weight loss! You look WONDERFUL!!

I say... good for you! Some people can lose weight with a little lifestyle change. Some have to get a little more help than that. As long as you know that you cant take it forever and are changing your lifestyle you will be just fine. Weather you were taking the drug or not, if you go back to old eating habits of course…

I feel your pain on this one. I was in a plateau for 4 weeks and may still be but not quite sure until TOM leaves. I have researched and read and read some more and I came to the conclusion first of all that our bodies REALLY mess our minds up! LOL! I also read the same stuff everywhere. Make sure you are eating enough so…

Hi there Linda and WELCOME!!! My name is Raquel. I am a 35 year old mother of 3 boys ages 9,5, and 2. I stay at home. I live in the suburbs of chicago. Home of beef sandwiches, loaded hot dogs and deep dish pizza (meaning: if i can do it you can too!) I started on MFP January 8th, 2011 and have lost 21 lbs so far! The…

Wow! How exciting! You can really see a difference! You look great and i bet you even feel better! Enjoy your anniversary and have an awesome time at the beach!

Natalie! Don't fret! You are here aren't you? You typed this post didn't you? Then you WANT to do this! I LOVE all the "bad" food too! It makes me feel happy but what I love more is actually having energy and feeling good about myself. Do you like the way you are? If the answer is no, which I know it is, then only YOU can…

Thank you! I am posting everything i eat on MFP and exercising at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. It has been REALLY hard but I am trying. :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I have been looking and looking for you guys! LOL! Where have you all been? !LOL Thank you for adding me! I can use all the support I can get and am here for you guys whenever you need me! :) So glad we have each other!!

Hi guys! I started out on MFP at 271. I am currently at 256.8. I am wanting to drop another 100lbs but I am starting off witth smaller goals! We are going on a cruise in May so i would like to drop another 15+ lbs by then. After that I am wanting to head into One-derland!! :)

What a difference!! You look great!!

Definitely smile. That is including lips and teeth! :)

Thank you guys for all the info! After having 3 LARGE boys ranging from 8.15lbs to 10.6 lbs they have totally messed my body up! At 10 lbs lost my pants fit better but are not yet falling off! I will just keep doing what I am doing and I am sure I will get there!
