The worst job I ever had was working in the Biology Building at Bowling Green State University. I had to incinerate all of the animals used for research and the ones in classes...like fetal pigs, cats, rats, mice. The fetal pigs were the worst because they were packaged with dripping blood, etc and I had to burn it all.…

AMEN!!! Preach to the choir.....we are all listening!!!!

Hey Ninkyou....I see you now with one of those fashionable jogging strollers running in your neighborhood with your new baby. Go for it girl!!!!!

Same here!!!! I was in college...a long time ago and 4 children ago!!! But I am excited to go back to the old me. My goal is to get back into my wedding dress. Silly?? Maybe....but it is motivation. Doing that will tell me I HAVE ARRIVED!!

This is NOT A DIET!!!!!!! Can you hear me!!!!! It is a lifestyle. No food is off limits. YOU just have to learn how to control the food. You are bigger than those pieces of chocolate. Don't let them bully you into doing something that will make you sad!!! I am having a cheddar bratwurst for lunch....AND staying within my…

Hey! I love going and getting a cone at Burger King. It's portioned, I know the calories, and it gives me my ice cream fix without over indulging. I just put it in with my daily calorie intake and it is awesome!

My doctor has never called me obese, though I was over 300 lbs. when I started here. Maybe because I am a teacher and I am intelligent enough to know what I am. We talk about eating, ....ie the increase of cheese in the American diet....etc, but he never harps. Which for me is a good thing. Frankly, I have been on diets a…

I agree, MyfitnessPal makes loosing weight seem so simple. The other day I couldn't log on, since all of their changing around I have had trouble, and I was like at a loss. I just so desperately wanted to log in my food for the day. I DO think it is a lifestyle and I can see myself using this tool for the rest of my life.…

Applause!!!

You look AMAZING!!! The difference is SOOOOOO noticeable!

It is another day!!! How you felt and what you did yesterday doesn't matter. Leave the past where it belongs and look forward. One day at a time. Baby step....and stay off the scale. You already know you can do it...you did. Figure out some way to cope with the stress eating. The other night around 9 I wanted to eat about…

I just recently read an article in a medical newsletter that eating before you go to bed or what time of day does not matter.....it is all about the number of calories. PERIOD!!!

You are awesome!!!!! Fantastic work. Enjoy the new you!!!!!

Totally out of this world!!!! Great job! You are an inspiration!:flower for you:

Great one!

Don't do it! You answered yourself. Why weigh in after a binge! You already know what you will do if it is not good! Put the scale away out of sight so you can't see it every day and be tempted. I was a weigh every day and loaded on the depression when it went up which made me turn to food. Be nice to yourself. You would…

Even though we try to let things like this roll off our backs because we love the people who say them it still really hurts and we have a tendency to bury it and hold on to it. Try very hard to let it go. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with your mother! My Mom is 88 and her non support is getting worse…

You look awesome! And such an inspiration to me! I am just starting my journey - 3 days in- my weight is 314 and I want to reach 180! WE ALL CAN DO IT!
