Thank you for all the positive comments especially loving the comedic posts. They gave me several laughs today and made me feel better! :happy:

Well said!!

Awesome!

LOVE IT!!

This made me cry!! I am worried about how this affected them.

LMAO!!

Just to be clear, I did not encourage my kids to say anything or pull them into anything. They got defensive, because someone was attacking their mom. Before it got to the point of my saying any choice words at all. I said things like "Mam, my kids have plenty of food, they are eating right now" and I asked her to stop.…

They don't seem to do anything about it here. We there late into the evening and it was almost sad to the amount of beer cans that lay all over the place. The poor park ranger had to come pick it all up.

This made me laugh!! Wish I could think of witty things to say like that on the spot!!

LOL!

Thank you for the feedback. I really think I'm going to invest in one.

I have 5 - 4 girls ages 16, 13, 11, 10 and one boy age 11.

I would have to disagree with the not being successful, mine has been closed since I started last year and I've lost 83 lbs, you have to only be accountable to yourself. The point of being on here is for the tools to help you be accountable. Having friends and the forums on here is just a bonus and they help you in…

I keep mine private because I am completely honest with what I eat when I am logging and I have a feeling I wouldn't be if it was open as I would be afraid of being judged or criticized as I still eat all the things I ate before just less of them. Some wouldn't understand that, but it works for me. I didn't want to go on a…

Great job! You look fantastic!

I have them all the time. It happens, don't let it discourage you. Just take control the next day. If the emotional eating is controlling more than just a day here or there, you'll need to look hard at why you're emotionally eating and try to get control of those feelings. You may need to look at counseling. Just remember…

After you try to console her and it doesn't work, make sure she is not in a place where she can hurt herself and let her scream without interacting with her. It is going to be awful for you, no doubt about it!!! But if you show her she isn't going to get any attention from you with her screaming, she will eventually stop.…

Congratulations!!! You look fantastic!!

Definitely still a work in progress, but getting there: Change in the face Change in the rest

bump. Thanks for the recipe. I'll definitely have to try this. We are using taco seasoning all the time.

Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement. 71 lbs does seem like a lot to lose in a short amount of time, but with me being a very big girl just making a few changes has made a world of difference for me. I still pretty much eat the stuff that I like. I decided when I started this that I need to eat the way I plan to…

Way to go! You are doing fabulous!

I like to do the same thing. As soon as dinner is done being cooked I put what I like to call "used to be by seconds" in a container to take to work the next day. If we didn't have any leftovers then I like to the get the Healthy Choice Steamer meals. I also love the Green Giant Steamer bags for the veggies especially…
