Welcome to the club !!! OMG We are practically twins ! I just hit onderland a couple of days ago myself and am still basking in the glow . We started out at exactly the same weight too . You are rocking it ,you look great ! Isn't it wonderful ? I'm so excited for you !

I try to avoid most sugars , as well as most carbs ...but Carbs are in so many things .. bread,potatoes, sweets ...soda ....all make me crave so much more sweets and carbs I was always feeling hungry when I ate those things . I cut them all out as much as possible . I eat dessert once a week - except for sherbert pushups…

I'm sorry but this cracked me up as of course I have "fat days " too. I probably would have said FU becasue I am not good at comebacks either. oh I may have called her a who--

Did that with raisin bran once - it was little moths and the littel catterpiller worms too ( it was a new unopend box too ) ! didn't eat it again for years ,just started eating them again . now I'll probably skip it for a few weeks until I can put it out of my mind again ...yuk !

I plan to maintain during the holidays becaus eI'm going to Louisiana to spend time with my family ..My plan is to eat what I want but in moderation , track everything and stop at 1500 calories a day . I will exercise at least once a day and go from there.

Everyone is different and needs something to get them going . I too was determined I was going to get the gastric sleeve . My family was against it also and I heard nothing but grief from them about it . I cried one day and told them they just didn't understand , I could not fail at anouther diet one more time . I just…

Isn't it wonderful to have your hard work pay off !!! I can't believe you didn't tell anyone tahts awesome to just wait until they notice . Congratulations !

The North Slope is where they have the Alaska pipeline and oil production . It's kind of like driving through Freeport Texas with all the oil refineries everywhere and nothing else. Everything is either for the pipeline or a supporting company . so no resturants , movies or anything . We stay in " camps " which are kind of…

Super Amazing !

Quitting the soda was the hardest thing out of the whole situation . I actually told everyone months before and noone believed me at first .My husband didn't think it was possible but he was very supportive . The last day June 2nd , I actually had my last coke in my hand and I was telling it that we had to break up because…

Thank you ... I love the material also . I will take it in I think .If I didn't give it away already . I try to get rid of cloths becasue I never want to go back to that size ...it was a 4X !

So very happy and excited for you !!! We both reached a milestone today so we can do the happy dance together !!! You look great BTW .... cute pic...

OMG ! I'm so excited for you !!!

I do this , Now I ahve had friend comment on my page that thishas way more calories than I put but I just try to use myown judgement and come on ,it's like I'm trying to cheat myself.

Definitely doable !! exercise and eat right ...that's where the magic happens !

I recently started lifting (while I work away from home) and I texted my husband telling him I could only bench press 20 lbs and he almost died laughing . I didn't know the bar weighed 40 lbs ..:blushing:

I just wanted to say thanks everyone and I am tearing up right now because I can't believe it was my turn to post a success story ! I am overwhelmed by your support . I never thought I could do this I told my husband on June 2nd that I did not have it in me to start " another " diet , but I guess that's not what I did ..I…

So true , you don't know how many times I just brought a prepacked lunch becaus egoing into the dining room at dinner time was just too much temptation for me they cook so much good food - they do have healthy things to but the poached fish is right next to the jalapino poppers ! or the mashed potatoes ,or the berry…

I used to feel terrible about it ,but then I wrote it down in my notes on my phone ( I know it's silly but it helps me ) I wrote " it's ok to skip one day a week for no reason at all without feeling guilty ) if I am sick I need to reevaluate whether I "really" need to skip another day or not ' I always look at it before I…

so awesome ! great job , That's amazing , I'm impressed that you kept going after your third child . It makes it hard when you have to take care of a baby and take care of yourself too..Good for you !!! You look amazing !

So funny that you posted this today ... We have so much in common -except you are way more mean to yourself than I am . I have momentary lapses of ,hmm what's the word? negativity .lol Just the other day I looked at my pictures and thought oh no...my nose looks huge and I even mentioned it on FB to my sister (jokingly) my…

sent "Perfect"

I didn't wait for the new year but about two months before I started eating healthy I set a start date for two months awy and I stated to everyone that I was going to stop drinking soda on that date ..the closer the date got the more I mentioned it and then on that date stopped drinking soda ...which was june 3rd and I'm…

sounds awesome I hope I can participate and I think I can !

Hilarious !

So happy for you !!

Congratulations on your loss ! You look amazing and happy !

Awesome that you did it together !

I have a question ... Was she ever over weight? Not just after pregnancy but you know more than 20 lbs overweight for any significant time... because unless you know the battle you really shouldn't judge ... I was just wondering because that really makes a difference to me..
