Thanks. I will have to check on one of the monitors some one else suggested that too me as well...just have to try to find one that fits with my funds.

I am not losing weight to fit in with any ones ideals of sexy or anything like that. My husband is the only one that would need to matter to and he does not care if I lose weight or not. I am losing weight for my kids and that is my main reason. I want to be able to live a long and healthy life for my kids. I want to be…

I do this one too. My husband just chuckles cause when we go to his Mom's for dinner she does not have the smaller plates so I try to leave a rim of the plate a little larger than normal around my food so it looks like I am just crowding all my food together.

You say you just avoid mirrors due to not liking what you see.....that could be a bit of motivation for you there. If you do not like what you see when you look in the mirror, don't stop looking in the mirror work to change the reflection you see. It is not going to be easy but with good support it is doable and at times…

I am actually looking to lose about 130 pounds or possibly a little more. Please feel free to add me. I am always looking up new tips that I would be more than happy to share and would love any advice you come up with to give. It is always nice to create a good support system.

My calorie range is about 2600. I dont usually map out my plan though doing so would probably help a great deal but find it hard to plan too far ahead with 2 young boys. You could always go to google and type in "Meal plan 3600 calories per day" and see what it comes up with. Google is my answer for everything. :)…

Actually I am nice and warm right now....outside is not so much.... was -15 when I left my house yesterday to take my son to school according to my thermometer...hit 9 for a high yesterday.

Support from near and far is always welcome. It is always good to have some one to talk to that is or has been in the same place as you.

My current goal is 130 pounds. I am motivated and trying to stay that way. Would love some more friends on here for support. I am doing my best but with two little boys at home it is kinda a 50/50 they keep me busy and that helps not just watch tv and snack and they keep me moving, but it is also hard to come up with…

I have access to a scale but dont like to give it too much thought, my biggest sign that I have lost some weight ( I was down more than I am now I gained some back) is that I was able to run around with my kids...not get as tired and was able to keep up with my very active, very quick 3 year old son when he took off…

That is amazing congratulations to you. That is inspirational. I might consider posting as I go along. As long as you dont mind me stealing your idea.

Congratulations. That is an amazing thing to be able to say.
