I agree completely! A certain co-worker of mine tries to get me to go to lunch at a certain restaurant that we used to frequent (and where I ate lots of "bad" food which led to my weight gain). She knows I am losing weight, have been since Feb, but still asks to go there weekly. I just tell her that you know I won't go…

WOW! You look like a TOTALLY different person. Way to go! Your daughter will be so proud when she is older and you show her the pictures. Kids can be great motivators, that is for sure. You are a true inspiration to the rest of us, still losing weight...:drinker:

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments. I went back to work out at Curves last night and am back on track with my eating. I did eat a lot of salt while on vacation, did not think about water weight. I am sure the pizza, chips, burgers, etc did not help any. I previously gave up my diet after losing 20 lbs and I guess I…

Wow! Great job! You look 10 years younger in your after pictures! Amazing!

Congrats! You are an inspiration!!!

WOW!! You both look great, like totally new people. And the blonde hair looks great on you! :drinker:

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.:happy:

As a Type 1 diabetic, on an insulin pump, I have to drink diet soda due to sugar content in regular soda. Been drinking diet soda since I was diagnosed 18 years ago and have not found it to hinder my weight loss or make me crave sweets. I do drink mostly water but will have diet Mtn Dew, Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi if I go out…

:drinker: Congrats on your weight loss!!!! You are a true inspiration!! I love your bravery and tenacity. You are blessed to have such a wonderful, supportive husband. Please keep us updated on your progress!! And I love the pictures!! I too have hid under big clothes for too long and am ready to show off a little, even…

You look great!! Keep up the great work!!! :drinker: :heart:

Thanks for all the kind words everyone AND for the info on the Macy's sale!!! :happy: Still got a ways to go, but trying to celebrate the small victories along the way. :drinker:

WOW!!! I am 40 yrs old and need to lose about that much weight. So, if you don't mind, I am going to add you as a friend. I need some inspiration from someone who has been there. I have 2 kids too, mine are 11 and 16. Lost 23 lbs so far, 9 since joining MFP. You are an inspiration to me!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look…

I love your profile picture! (the little things make me smile :wink: ) I think that to lose weight and keep it off, you have to get to your breaking point. Mine was at the end of February of this year. I joined Curves and have lost 23 lbs so far. (I joined MFP about a month ago) I have put myself on 1500 calories a day and…

Wow! so many ideas! I will check them all out this weekend when I am at home and have time to browse the sites. Keep em coming! I am going to keep looking till I find what I want! You gals rock! :happy:

Thanks! I am going to check them out right now!!

Great job! You look great! And I like the clean shaven look on your back & chest :happy:

I joined Curves at the end of Feb 2013 and have lost 21 pounds since then. I just recently joined MFP, so the whole wt loss does not show here. I have been doing 1400 calories plus eating back my exercise calories and still losing weight. In fact, I just upped my calories to 1500/week to see if that works better. I have…

Agree completely! (see my reply to this post)

I joined Curves at the end of February of this year. I have lost about 20 lbs so far and love it. It gives me time for me and I get to hang out with some cool women too. We all motivate each other. I am not good about exercising "freestyle" so this is perfect for me as it is part of my routine. I go there on my way home…

Welcome!!! this site is awesome and the people are really supportive! :smile:

My hubby has been supportive, especially as I get smaller. I lost about 13 pounds before joining MFP, so I am up to 20 lbs down so far. I am doing Curves workouts too, so am toning up. He keeps telling me I am sexy, but I don't feel it just yet. Got a ways to go, but is nice to have him supporting me. He is happy that I am…

Sounds a lot like me. How old were you when you were diagnosed? I was 22. (am 40 now) And what kind of pump are you on? I am on an Animas ping now but had been on Minimed in the past.

I was 22 years old and had sudden onset of symptoms, blurry vision, thirsty, drinking a lot of fluids, going to bathroom a lot. Diagnosed as a Type 1, which was unusual. Been on insulin ever since. On an insulin pump for over 10 years. Am now 40 yrs old with 2 healthy kids, both boys, with no signs of diabetes. Losing…
