I used to think I had to be thin to be loved. I now have a husband who loves me no matter what size I am. Because of that wonderful fact, it was hard to feel motivated to lose weight. I agree with the other posters that you have to WANT this. I have had more than one failed attempt at getting healthy in the past. This…

Feel free to add me. My diary is open and my husband comes up with some yummy ideas for me. :-)

Add me, if you like. I've got a long way to go too!

Feel free to add me. :-) I have 88 left to go, so I'm here for the duration!

It is very true that it is different for each individual. For me, I am noticing it in my face and my hips this time around. Also, I never lost any of my chest volume even when losing 90lbs in the past....just went from a 38 to a 36 :-)

I'm right there with you on falling off the wagon. I lost 90lbs back in 2001-02...gained about half of it back and then lost 35lbs again in 2007. Emotional eating was my downfall and exercise DEFINITELY helps with that. When I spend an hour walking or running or something, the ice cream looks less appealing, because I know…

Just remember that eating even 500 calories less per day than your body needs to maintain your CURRENT weight, will result in a 1lb/week weight loss. Slow and steady wins the race. Take advantage of the opportunity to scale back your calories gradually. The more you lose, the less calories you get. ;-) Good luck on this…

Not healthy to lose 40lbs in two months. Healthy sustained weight loss is 1-2lbs a week. Just sayin',

40-ish days ago, when I started, I was having trouble coming in under the 1590 cal/day goal that was set for 1.5lbs/week weight loss. Over the first couple of weeks, I figured out how to feel good and stay within the goal. The next few weeks, I have been working out and gradually increasing my exercise time and intensity.…

I know all about secret food. The only person you are hurting is yourself with that, though. For instance, I bought a mini blizzard and they had a deal to buy another for 99 cents. I bought two and then ended up eating them both (hiding one of the cups so my husband only thought I had one). Logging EVERYTHING that I…

I just turned 38 and I have 100lbs to go. My diet plan is to stay within calories and get the proper nutrients. Exercise is now becoming a great habit as well. The best advice I can give you is to log your food on a daily basis. Sometimes, just knowing I have to log something will keep me from eating it. :-) Also, know…

Feel free to add me as a friend. :-) I am back at this with a fresh determination. I have 100 lbs to go to reach my goal. Suzi

I lost 90lbs back in 2001. I was able to maintain that weight within 10-15lbs for about 3 years and then slowly started gaining again. Before I knew it, I was back over 200lbs and miserable. In 2007, after seeking the help of a personal trainer, I was able to lose 35-40lbs and was in the best physical shape of my life.…
