LOVE IT! I've had it since September 1 and I'm lost without it.

Haha!! That reminds me of my daughter......it's 'creepy' to her that I can shop at teen stores now *gasp* the same ones she does! :-)

That's an awesome feeling! I remember when my daughter (11) admitted to me 2 years ago (I've been at this 3 yrs) that I embarrassed her when I was so heavy :-( I can see it, though, considering she went to school in my building for 4 years with me. Most rewarding for me would have to be..............being able to play with…

Amazing!! Congrats

It will come in cycles...........I've been doing this 3 years and honestly I have a worse body image now that I did before, for different reasons. But I have great days/weeks where I feel amazing about it all. You won't stick with it unless you are 100% fed up and ready for change. Make slow, gradual changes with food…

It's under your profile page. (Ok it should be......)

Feel free to add me. Welcome!!! I'm 33, mom of 2- 11 yr old daughter and 5 yr old son, plus 1 step daughter that will be 12 in June. I started 3 yrs ago at 235 lbs, currently bouncing around 155, so almost 80 lbs gone. I teach full time, am a mom , wife, daughter.............. Life is hectic.....hence 3 yrs to drop 80 lbs!!

Yea........about that........the damn Easter bunny left too much chocolate at my house and I keep stealing it from the kids :-0 I would take it to work and give it to my already sugar high class BUUUUUUT I would eat it there, too.

Here is my progress pic. 10-20 away from my goal, haven't decided yet. Not a good 'progress' pic, considering my top makes me look a bit heavier.

I have used TDEE for almost a year now, and when I was running 4-6 days a week my goal was 1,800-ish calories a day. S nice I've set it at sedentary, due to no or little exercise, the TDEE -20% for weight loss has me at just under 1,400/day. I recently increased it to 1,5-- in the last week, so we will see how that goes.

Oops

I guess I should give a bit more background info. I did very low carb for the first 2 years. Didn't count calories, fat, and didn't exercise. It really did teach me how to eat right and allowed me to have a healthier relationship with food. I am a carb addict and stay away from them as much as possible and if I do have…

Great work!!!

1. I am half Mexican (biological father was born in Mexico) 2. I have been married, twice. But neither husband has fathered either of my children. I had them both when I was single and raised them as infants on my own. Daughter was 2 when I married my ex and my son was 18 months when I married my current husband. 3. My son…

1. 79 lbs lost so far 2. Still a work in progress- will be 3 years first week of June. 3. Started out counting carbs, not calories. Kept it at 20 net carbs or lower for 2 years. Last summer increased carbs to 50-90/day and eating at tdee- currently around 1,400/day 4. Didn't workout for 2 years. Started running last June,…

Lol those kitty cats don't know what hit 'em first half!!!! Some killer plays by the Shockers!!

Shocks will beat UK tomorrow. True story.

Neeked all the way!!! Keep a robe next to the bed to let the pups out in the middle of the night and pj pants and a top next to the bed in case of a zombie invasion

I fall UP stairs. Once fell DOWN stairs with an entire cake in hand. Nickname has always been Grace.....

Do you also avoid cracks at all costs?

I have a degree, teach small children, have 2, 2nd marriage going on 4 years........I'm less grown up NOW than when I was 18!!!! We are all just big kids, you just have to hide it better!

Sick in the head or ill sick?

I count steps and stairs..........if it's not even I start over or skip a number to make it even

Uuhhhhh When I was 13 I was afraid of everything evil. Except Pennywise the Clown........he made me laugh, hysterically. :huh: big balloon of blood popped in the poor kid's face?? Loved it.........I should add, I hate clowns.

YES!!!!! I AM NORMAL! :drinker: :drinker: will you be my friend? :flowerforyou:

Incredible. Absolutely amazing. You look stunning and so alive :-) I, too, started with (and still set) small attainable goals.

When TOM is around............I flip the hell out. My anxiety is SO HIGH I constantly need reassurance from everyone. 'No I'm not mad, no I'm not leaving you, no you won't gain 500 lbs from one candy bar, no the world is not ending.'............are just the few things I've heard lately.......:huh: yes I realize it's…
