Its impossible for me. He doesn't live the same lifestyle as me. He is supportive though. He doesn't mind that we switched to skim milk or whole wheat bread and he buys me stuff like sugar free cookies and snacks he thinks I can eat. I am noticing his middle aged spread a little more and those love handles but I keep my…

Santa Baby. About 5 years ago I was at my high school daughters choir christmas show (high school) and I had my elderly dad and husband with me. The teacher had allowed this girl to sing that song along with a CHAIR! OMG it was the most uncomfortable moment! Many parents and grandparents got up and went to the bathroom or…

Much more energy. In fact, its been hard to stay still. I use to watch tv all darn day. Now my tv doesn't go on till late at night. Many projects around the house going on. I think it annoys my hubby though because I would rather be working in the yard or out doing something and he still wants to play games on his…

arrogance AND low confidence! There has got to be a happy medium.

I have to be careful with laughing cow cheese! YUM! That is my binge food. lol. So when I buy them, I take one out of the package and put it the rest in the crisping drawer so I can't see them. Other wise I will eat them all at once! LOL Self control sucks. :)

gonna download that app! thank you! Since its my moms favorite restaurant will have to return. Next time the petite sirloin!

first step admitting it. LOL> I remember that day. Had gone to my son's Air force graduation. Took family photos. Realized I was FAT. WOW. Got home and said. ENOUGH. Everyone said I couldn't do it. Well, I did and you will too! welcome and have fun on this journey.

i eat about 80% clean. Because I am so short my calorie intake is lower then say, a 5 foot 9 man. I eat pizza and hamburgers. If it fits into my calorie goal and I want it, I will eat it. Yes, I have self control, finally. No I don't eat chips, or cupcakes. But the reason I don't eat them is NOT because they are a bad food…

Its really hard for our minds to catch up with our bodies. I think sometimes we have this fantasy of having that 20 year old body we once had. I readjusted my goal weight once I hit it, twice. I was 180 this past April. I am now 123. My original goal weight was 130 then 125. Now its 115 with more of a focus on staying…

My feet were horrible, planter fascitis in both feet along with some other issues. It was so bad that last thanksgiving i could hardly stand to cook the meal! About a year and a half ago I had some shots (4 in each heel) at the doctors. That was painful. Anyhow, since I have lost weight my feet have not hurt ONCE, not…

great point! Had not thought of that!

Not a stupid question at all! Congrats on the baby! These people on this site have taught me so much and much of that was through tough love. LOL. Sometimes we are told what we don't want to hear but if we listen we hear what needs to be said. This is the greatest support system you will ever find to help you reach your…

WOW! First I just gotta say you sound like an awesome cook! Second, wow, wth? A few months ago we were at my daughters house and my hubby went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of stuff. He clearly told everyone at the house that the almonds were not to be touched by anyone but me because they were my before bed time…

I love my food scale. But I would consider it obsessive if I took it to restaurants with me....:)

I ordered the firedragon chicken. Had 660 calories! But I ate half the rice and took off the sauce that was on it ugggg. It was not a pleasant experience at all! So i figured it was about 550 calories.The waiter seemed "bothered" when I asked for suggestions. What the heck? he did not have a problem with the table next to…

Pretty much this. LOL. However, my sons friend once said this about me. Lets just say my son made sure he never said it again. LOL I personally take it as a compliment. Gotta have a sense of humor.

fresh blueberries. I feel sick and gassy for two or three days after! Weird ha?

I make a stupid face when putting on mascara and I rub my feet together when I am falling asleep. I have to find a good radio station BEFORE I start driving and I always sing loudly when I drive and sometimes I forget, and sing on the running path with my headphones on. Poor other runners, I sing like crap especially when…

wow! Beautiful before but stunning after! Congrats!

If you open your dairy many of us would be glad to help! :) Please give us a little more information and let us know what your doing for exercise. I always stay steady a week before what the other poster mentioned. But lose about a pound consistently after. Very rarely gain weight if sticking with the plan. I truly believe…

I want to see Ireland one day!

northern Florida!

when my son needed to put on some weight he used protein shakes, whey, bananas and peanut butter. He ate a few protein bars between meals. He also ran and lifted weights so he did not add fat.

military retired

wore thongs once exercising. Never again. LOL

I am 5 foot 2. I eat 1200 calories a day and usually eat my exercise calories back unless I am just not hungry. How did I lose the weight? I really think a big part of it was logging my food. I am sure that I was eating twice as much a day as I should have. TWICE AS MUCH. Nothing use to stop me from a big mac or a dairy…

STOP! Back away from the table......think about the calories....think about your waistline....back away........LOL

If I want to keep the weight off I will have to. The good news is I am starting to understand portion size a lot better. Where as when I started this I would constantly have to look to see what everything was worth in calories now I know when I sit down to eat. When I eat at home everything gets weighed and measured still…

this. Love it!

younger then 20! This is awesome, I am 43! :)
