:angry: :explode: :grumble: :mad: :noway: Well isn't it shocking how others see you... All kidding aside.... name calling is hurtful, a putdown, and all around nasty business.... I have been called names all my life: for my nationality, for my religion, for my weight, for my size.... all have had an emotional impact on my…

Good for you Monkey boy..... 2 hardest things in life are recognizing bad people and cutting them loose out of your life. you are correct..... you have to concentrate on you.... don't waste your positive energy and newfound confidence on someone who will soak it up like a sponge and never reciprocate. Enjoy the person you…

I weigh in on tuesday afternoons before the start of my fave show.... "biggest loser" I can compare myself to the contestants weightloss, and it helps me remember to weigh myself. Also since I have so much going on during weekends, it gives me couple days to get my head back in the game..... but to each his own...... what…

:happy: Well, you can get stuck at that plateau for a while,,,, I would suggest try changing your work out routine for the next month. You may just need to change that up... but i also agree with increasing your calorie intake or try changing your recipes. for instance if you eat yogurt for breakfast, try oatmeal for more…

wow.... does this topic bring back some bad memories..... First let me say.... don't let your spouse, fiance, family or friends derail your commitment to a healthier life..... Losing weight is tough enough. make sure you are losing for the right reasons. for yourself.... not for anybody or anything else. That being…

Welcome back Erica!!!! Good for you, for finding someone to inspire you.... That helps alot. I see alot of myself in your story. i started putting on weight around age 12. Funny thing is,.... I never considered myself fat, but my step mother did, and so the dieting began. It progressed from there. Every diet that was in…

my 2 cents worth...... I don't agree in weighing yourself everyday. Because it doesn't show what your true weightloss is for the week, or month, or whatever. My trainer, and nutritionist say to weigh yourself at the same time on the same day of the week. for me, that is tuesday afternoon, so I remember to do it before…

to Chryssy; I think we all have critics in our lives. Some are just that way, unhappy people who criticize others to make themselves feel better, others are family/friends who think they have the right to express their opinions to us just because they are family/friend. I suggest smile while they offer, or brush them off,…

Hi I am new to the site also.... looking for friends & support..... let's do this together,.....:wink: :flowerforyou:

You are looking fantastic..... Yes I see a big change in your face. But doll, check out your waist, your arms, your whole upper body looks toned, muscled, and ready for action. way to go.... YYyaaaayyy... :noway: :bigsmile:

Smorgasborgs are tough..... I would suggest you enter what you do remember,(as best you can)... it keeps you honest with yourself, helps you see what you had, how it affected your daily balance. taste of things here and there, i don't believe in punishing myself either. Otherwise you give up. and that gets you nowhere. So…

Thank you..... Awesome that you did all that by yourself. I need people and their stories to motivate me and yours will definitely be on my top 5 list. But like you, I know this is a long haul. But the difference this time is, like you, i am changing to a healthy lifestyle, versus a "diet". thanks for your support.....…

Hi Bev!!!! Thank you for your support. And yes i would like to have my own personal Jillian or bob from biggest loser. But I think they would kill me first. ha ha ha ha .. I worked at a gym in 2007, and actually hired a personal trainer as part of the package. 6 weeks with my terminator taught me quite a few things i…

Yes...... We all can do it..... Just seems daunting when you think you are alone.... I support you all in the "FRIGID ZONES" but being accountable to each other will be motivation enough.... :smile:
