perhaps you can open your food diary so we can take a look?

I have my gestational diabetes test coming up. My blood pressure was up last visit because I was stressed about my weight. My OB had made comments on my previous visit. The thing is, she never asked about what I eat or anything like that. She didn't say "you are over weight to begin with so we want to keep you in a range…

I'm 25 weeks along and have gained 20 pounds and my OB is mad. I started out at 205, I had no idea I was only "supposed" to gain 10-15 pounds. She never said anything until after I gained 10 pounds in a month and a half (I was on vacation on Hawaii mind you). I switched my setting to maintenance and it gives me 2200…

Thanks. I'm on day two of logging everything again. Mostly to throw it in my Dr's face since she thinks I'm eating fast food and bon bons all day long. All my stats are good and my measurements are right on. So, I'll just move forward from here. Can't do anything about the weight I've already gained, just have to focus on…

I'm getting married the end of June. I already have my dress, it was a little big to begin with. Then.......I found out I was pregnant. I'm due in Feb. After that it's crunch time for me!! Best of luck.

Look at the difference in your face! You look like Khloe K and I mean that as a compliment :wink:

Thank you for the POSITIVE advice and suggestions. My Dr said things like "Well, you know the holidays are coming" and "you're already over where I wanted you in the end so...." She never asked about my eating habits. She came off like I was just eating whatever I wanted all the time, and yes it was hurtful. I'm not…

She didn't offer any advise on things to change or ask me about my eating habits. I don't feel like I'm eating bad or way too much at all, but no, I am not logging. Just staying conscious about my choices, like usual. Just the way she said things like "well, the holidays are coming" and "you already gained more than I…

Well, that wasn't helpful.

We all had to start somewhere.

Holy crapoly! I freaking have this video, why am I not doing it?!? That's it, I'm starting tomorrow. Thanks for the motivation :happy:

I agree with you 100%. I'm just hoping to find a program that can guild me through the process. I know many people that have been to Al Anon, and it's seemed to help them figure things out. I'm not looking for a quick fix, but something is broken and I am willing to put in the work to make things better.

I lost 40lbs a couple years ago, just with diet and exercise. I have been able to keep it off, but not lose anymore. I feel like I sabotage myself and makes lots of excuses.

I want to be Ursula the sea witch, or Rosie The Riveter, or Inspector Gadget, or Mary Poppins. I can't make up my mind

Vancouver WA here! or Vantucky as I like to call it

In my opinion, you will have more success practicing will power, self control, discipline and portion control. I have not given anything as part of my health(er) lifestyle.

I'm proficient in air kazoo and slide whistle.

Watching the first pre season football game! Go Hawks!! :drinker:

Teriyaki short ribs with sticky and salad with home made honey mustard dressing, Yumm!

I am an Assistant Deli Manager at Fred Meyer. Luckily, being around all that fried food makes me NEVER want to eat it!

Your pictures are beautiful, by the way. I'm the maid of honor in 2 different weddings this year and would love to keep losing weight to look good for these events. Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for support and motivation. Best of luck on your journey

My family was close friends with many other home schooled families. We went on field trips together on a regular basis. My family was involved in youth groups, choirs, plays, ballets, music lessons and many other activities. There was no lack of social interaction :smile:

First of all, I applaud you. My mom homeschooled all 6 of her children, and I thank her everyday for it. It was the best experience for me growing up. The close bonds between me and my mom, and me and my siblings are so precious to me. The values and life lessons that she taught me are my most prized possessions.

I stop eating when I"m full :drinker:

Sent to my boyfriend at 4:47am: Please turn down the repeating yelling. I don't know if it was a video game or he was watching porn, but I woke up to a woman yelling over and over and over and over.....

Cut off overalls with only one strap done *hangs head in shame*

Sailing Snowballs. that's what pops into my head when I see these. That and YUMMY!

I miss having space between my thighs, and not having them rub together when I walk.

"cutting and preparing food". Really? That is something we all do everyday, usually multiple times a day! That's not exercise! :grumble:
