  • Awesome post! I am a size 14 on my way to a 12 and am 5'8". My husband has always said that he likes curves and not scrawney girls. I will see a tall, skinny girl and say "What about her?" His response is always, "Ugh, too thin." My mother has always been a size 4 or so and has crapped on me and my sister for being heavy…
  • That's very thoughtful of you to think of her and thank her for blessing you with kids. What about buying her a card that says thanks and then buying something for the kids to give her like a garden item or a nice frame with their picture in it? If she's not really stepping up to the plate then I don't think I would spoil…
  • We moved back to the states a year ago after a 2.5 year tour in Italy. We traveled to Germany as many times as we could because we love it there. I also have a high schooler and a preschooler. (And 5 others in between.) I gained about 20 lbs while living overseas. Right before I came back to the states I lost it all…

  • I have to admit, I love fast food. I manage to lose weight and still eat it because on days that I eat it I try to not eat much else other than vegetables and fat free yogurt. It is one of my guilty pleasures. Yes, I agree, it is terrible for you. But so is alcohol, smoking, diet soda, processed foods prepared at home,…
  • Heck, losing weight should save you money for sure. You can walk or run outside or if you are into videos go to the library and check them out for free. Or check a local thrift store. Old workout videos are usually only a dollar or less. I know I save on drive-thru's for sure when I am dieting. Best of luck!! Jennifer
  • It's Monday for me so I guess we check in right? I had a disappointing weigh in this week. Only lost .5 lbs. I'm frustrated because I really kept within my calories all week and thought I would have a huge loss. I guess it is better than not losing or gaining. Weight loss seems to be slowing down for me. I am going to try…
  • I noticed the same thing today big time. Luckily I have shrunk to a 36D from a 38DD so it's not terrible. I always wondered what it would be like to be thin and still have those DD's. However, I'll take being thin and smaller up top over being overweight any day. Sad thing for me is that I just bought 3 new Victoria's…
  • I've been bad today with water so I am going to guzzle a bunch before bed. I didn't get to the gym today but I have been cleaning all day and haven't stopped. Hopefully it burned some calories. I am usually a Saturday weigher so I am going to weigh on Saturday and then again on Monday for our challenge. I'm off to drink…

  • I wonder the same thing. I have lost 20 lbs as of last weigh in and stepped on the scale today just to check it and I was still the same weight. I feel like 1200 calories is so little that this weight should just be dripping off but it isn't. I work out 4-6 days a week walking/running on the treadmill and sometimes riding…
  • That's cool! What is your goal weight/size? I'm pretty busy with the kids but never too busy to eat. LOL Good luck with your goals! Jennifer
  • Is your profile picture of you now at 184 and 5' 9"? You look fantastic! Good luck reaching your goal. Jennifer
  • Sorry, total mess up posting. Don't know how to delete.
  • Good question. Congrats on your 10 lbs! I have lost 20 lbs so far and it took me losing about 18 before anyone even noticed. However, now just about everyone I see says "OMG, you've lost weight?!" I notice it in my face big time. Then my neck and ribcage. I totally lose from the top down with my butt and thighs to be the…
  • Hi Ladies, I am 5'8" (on the short side for this thread) and I currently weigh 175. My goal is 160 which I think will put me back in my size 10 clothes. My current measurements are 41 bust, 35 waist, 43 hip. I am huge chested and have a curvy shape even when I am thinner. I've also had 7 kids so there is no chance that…
  • Woo hoo!! Great job. Losing anything is hard. 3 lbs. That's awesome. Keep up the good work. Jennifer
