Thats awesome, I like the inspiration..You are right in every way.

You look beautiful way to go

Same here, 30 lousy pounds and cant seem to get it off and keep it off. Some people have over 100 pounds to lose and have more motivation than me.

Good luck on your jouney, I'm starting over again also at almost 42

I agree, hes obviously very gracious to not mention your weight. I dont think you need to make a plea to him. Especially is he hasnt gained a pound. Keep it to yourself and keep a promise to yourself to change..you might surprise him and yourself

Every day is tough never mind weekends. Feel the pain hang in there you can do it

Holy Sh.t Well Done

Your a beauty queen with 2 kids and your whole life ahead of you that should be enough for you to pick yourself up and keep going. Put yourself in a positive mindframe, be grateful for what you have and everything else will fall into place, including shedding the extra weight.

Keep busy, get out of the house, you'll soon forget all about it.

I'm in the same rut you can add me, I have the same amount 30 pounds. Maybe a little motivation will help.

hi wendy I'll send you a friend request, I have about the same amount I want gone. Maybe we can motivate eachother :)

you were given a gift and you showed your gratitude by getting your act together. congratulations on your success.

If I was in your situation, I would make a meatless chili that would carry you for a few day or more. Canned beans, canned tomatoes, onions, garlic, frozen bag of peppers and onions, there cheaper than fresh and just as good. You can store the leftover in a disposable container. Canned chicken and canned tuna if you can…

Doesn't matter who u r or what u r u can figure that out later basically we're all here for the same reason, lose the damn weight. Our struggles may vary but we own them. I probably need your help just as u may need mine add me for a friend please

I was just thinking that this morning, my old full length fell and cracked, need a new one to really see whats going wrong. You can add me for support, I can always use some myself

Just have to say I am totally against the whole registry thing. No offense to anyone that has had one, or plans to have one. Just my opinion. If I am invited to an event I dont even acknowledge the registry, I give what I want. It offends me to go to a wedding for example, which already may cost me money if I have to buy…

Congratulations, I agree it is very hard. Happy Birthday

Well done and congratulations. I need this kind of willpower, I am in a rut lacking it right now. Cant stand why I make it so hard. Your story is inspiring.

Good for you for trying again, I'm back at it myself its not easy.. as far as the eggs thing, have you tried egg beaters? If you love eggs they are a better alternative, or just eat the white of regular eggs, a few days a week so you cut down.

In your case keep the beard. Some men try to do the gote thing and it just looks all wrong. I think the gote thing works with the tall dark and handsome types and thats it.

I hope thats not your jail number!

Also need to lose 30. My goal was to do this last year when I turned 40 in Sept. Now I'm back and want to be at least somewhere close when I turn 41. Add me if you like

Doesnt matter what the scale says, I'm at your point too that I'm ready to restart. You can add me. I've been on here before with friends, lost weight, bombed and now I'm back too...good luck

this sounded great until you ruined it with the trivial persuit

Same boat as you. Lost 26 pounds 2 years ago, and keep starting and stopping... Do great get a couple compliments, and then I'm like bang celebrate. I cant stand the daily thinking about it. Maybe we can friend up and motivate. I started at 176 after baby 3 years ago, ( I have 4 kids), and will be 41 in Sept. I'm down to a…

thank you for all your input, though I wasnt looking to criminalize by husband, I was trying to search people out to see how they themselves handle spouses comments. Do you find yourself doing better or worse. Thats all. I know my husband wants me thinner end of story. I'm not stupid.

no he is right, my frame isnt made to hold up the XTRA but my problem is internally dealing with the comments. I dont kill him when he busts my blls, it just doesnt make me better, on the sidelines it makes me revert back to the fridge in spite, and I get the blue bottom blues.

Good for you with starting again and not giving up..I"m in the same boat as you. I'm 5' and currently am 154. I started in January at 176 by March I was down 26 pounds. Went through some misery in my life and had a BAD day. Since then I cant seem to stick to it. I get serious and start, then stop. 154 is alot of weight…
