Awe thank you so much for your well wishes! I sure do appreciate the support. Life is tough and Im about to prove that Im tougher! Hope you are doing well on your weight loss as well! Have a fantastic day! Peggy

I had not heard about this but I will tell my husband, I dont think we will be able to see it here through the snow clouds in Michigan though. But its worth taking a look and he is into that kindof thing. Thanks for posting this. Have a great day Peggy

Due to some health problems I had an IUD placed this passed year so I no longer have periods BUT guess what the monthly starving to death things doesnt go away, I just dont have all that cramping and stuff that goes with it, THANK GOD. I just try and distract myself with something else and drink a lot of water and do even…

Jessica, Thank you so much for your concerns also and I feel terrible for letting people think I meant a CRASH DIET, for me that is just what I call it. Its harsh and hard to hold onto but works for me I did it with a docs supervision after gaining a lot of unwanted weight from childbirth and such. Ill ask that you read my…

AWE, thank you Kathy! Prayers and support are something everyone needs! Thank you for reading this and welcome aboard. Let me know if there is ever a time when you need support and I would love to learn more about what brings you here. Beautiful baby in that picture of yours. Blessings, Peggy

Thank you for your concerns Cath! I do understand what you are alarmed by in my stating "crash diet" in my original post. Sorry to scare anyone here by that. Its not really a crash diet so to speak, its one that I have used in the past and had great success with but to some it is VERY STRICT! Most cant stick to it for more…

Oh it is difficult alright but there are many on these boards that have it way worse off than I do and I refuse to whine about it. Besides that I am not allowed the cheese to go with the whine...lol. Thank you for your prayers they mean more than you could ever know. Peace and Blessings, Peggy

Thank you for your kind words. I am a strong person most of the time when it comes to other, yet I mostly lack that same willpower for myself. A normal set up for a caretaking type person but I am learning that I am important too. Thank you for the prayers and the flower! Peace and Blessings, Peggy

Im starving today also. I wont give in though, I just ate my lunch a little earlier than I normally do. For me I am saying it is because I am making myself do more every day yet I have been eating less and less so I would say its normal for me to be hungry. I have maintained today by pushing the water. When my mind starts…

Tim you know its ok and it was your birthday and you deserve to have what you did. Just pick yourself up dust yourself off and start again. You can and will do this, knowing I am right here beside you every step of the way. You should have seen me sniffing the PEANUT BUTTER yesterday just wanting to stick my finger in it…

PEANUT BUTTER!! I have been hearing it call my name as well BUT I resit its temptations! Ive been strict on myself and it is paying off! I wont give in. I am only eating fruit, veggies and fish or chicken. Water lots of water to drink and one diet drink otherwise a day. Since Sunday Ive lost 2 pounds with limited amounts…

Thank you so very much! Prayers and support of special folks like yourself and my faith in God have gotten us this far and I know it will see me through everything! Blessings! Peggy

I just started this crash diet plan on this past Sunday and I wasnt supposed to look at my wieght until at least this Sunday BUT I CHEATED this morning when I got up and stepped on the scale and saw a 2 pound loss! I was out of my mind happy and so proud of myself. I am feeling better and better everyday except for the…

Congrats on the new member of your family to come! We will be praying that that baby is born healthy/ It is a great modivation as well! HUGS Peggy

Hi there, I am so sorry to hear that you family, mainly your husband isnt supporting you in your efforts to improve youself and be happier. That is a shame ON HIM situation BUT here is what I had to do in my last marriage. TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN HAPPINESS. Consider the feelings of other that you care about but DO NOT LET…

Thank you first of all for responding and reading my post. I understand what you are saying about me being so hard core with myself and such BUT this is what works for me with the fibromyalgia. I have to MAKE myself eat without the normal things I fell into habit of eating. The reason Im staying off the starches is because…

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post. I am tring my best to get moving again. Due to other circumstances in my life, we have a child with leukemia it is hard for me to get out to go to someplace to walk and since we live in MI it is out of the question to do it outside with the snow and the ice. I…

Thank you so very much for taking the time to read my post and responding. I am doing what I can with the weather and a child at home with leukemia I have to admit we dont get to go out much at all. It is dangerous for my son to be around other people when dealing with the low ANC levels we have to for him. We live in MI…

Im really trying but it is hard for me to do a lot of exersize. Ive taken a really hard stand with the food though. No breads, pasta, as much water as I can drink, limit of one diet drink a day, no potatoes. Mostly fish, chicken. fruits and veggies. No FAST FOOD! Im at 250 and have been hard core about this since Sunday…
