I didn't look at most of the posts responding to you. I just wanted to tell you my heart goes out to you. You are way to young to be taking care of your in-laws. The two of you just started out. And, as for the suggestion you let your mil take care of the baby so you can get a job. Only you know if you can trust her or if…

One month ago I was only able to walk 2.5 mph on flat surface for 20 minutes. Now I can walk 3.1 mph on incline up to 11.4 for 30 minutes. Yesterday I tried on some large pants i couldn't pull on around my hips one month ago. Best part is they even look nice.

Louzara has just given you the best advice in the world.

Karen, thanks for your response. I agree that it may be an emotional thing, but tend to eat when I'm having problems and when I'm not. I know it is an addiction to food though because of the roller coaster effect.

Me 0 binge 29 :( I hope you all do this again in August because I hope to do these numbers in reverse.

I don't think it is much different then an addiction to drugs. If you can stay away from it for long enough you can get it out of your system and for a while anyway, not need it, but that first bite makes it so you can't stop again.

What scares me is I go from one obsession to another obsession. I will be obsessed with eating foods, lots of it, and another day obsessed with not overeating, exercise and scales. I know i need a happy medium. I need a healthy weight loss program, moderate exercise program and most important to change my behavior. What…

I hate to admit but I tend to eat little bits here and there from the time I get home from work until I go to bed. It is like a constant graze. The little bit here and little bit there adds up to a large amount of food for my 5'3" body.

Hi, I'm Cheryl, I just wanted to introduce myself before I go off to work. I've been on and off diets since I was in my teens (before I needed to be on a diet). Each time i lose weight i gain it back and another 5 to 10 pounds to get to where i am today with 100 pounds to lose. I will lose anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds and…

Thanks so much for showing the pictures. This is how i'm able to keep plugging away with this. By the way, you look marvelous.

1. Do you believe in the Mexican legend of La Llorona? I believe part of it is possible. Don't believe that some spirit is able to steal living children. But, do believe that it is possible someone would kill their children to be with their lover. It has happened, I've seen it in the news. Do I believe someone who would…

You have done great. Congratulations and keep it up.

Couldn't have said it better.

Today my nsv was going to do 70 minutes of lifting weights on the weight machines at the gym even though i did not want to.

What about riding a stationary bicycle.

If I go I get a filet fish sandwich without the tartar sauce and add ketchup instead. 300calories

very good explanation of why they arch their backs in the competition. Thanks :)

First I wanted to thank you both for responding. I'm doing between 12 and 15 reps depending on which machine I'm using. I do 4 machines with 12 reps, and one with 10 reps (the abd crunches, that one really hurts). The rest I'm doing the 15. The ones that i just do 12 are the ones i struggle the entire time. If the last 4…

I love hummus sandwiches.

My goal is to lose between 100 and 125 pounds so I will have no choice but to buy or make an entire new wardrobe. I also want to go to a salon and have the works with a new makeover with cut and hair style, facial, manicure, pedicure and massage. Afterwards get professional pictures. They have a spa in town that does just…

It partly depends on what you mean by a binge.

I started at 246 pounds in January 2nd and lost 26 pounds. I weight 220 pounds as of today. I lost over 10 percent, but not sure exactly how much over 10 percent.

1. When I started this on January 2nd I was only able to walk on the treadmill at 2.5miles per hour for 10 minutes before i got sob and chest pains. I now walk for 30 minutes at 3.0 miles per hour and could go longer if I wanted. 2. I'm down one dress size or lost 13 inches total

I'm not a truck driver so can't say that I understand what it would be like, but am guessing one of the biggest problems with eating healthy while driving a truck would include eating due to boredom and decreased activity which hasn't been addressed. My only advice would be to make a habit of not eating while you are…

Have you asked her pediatrician. He will be the best person to ask.

Happy birthday. What a wonderful birthday you gave yourself.

Right now the biggest thing i'm struggling with is to know how many calories i should be eating with all this argument everyone is having over too few calories vs too many calories. Who is able to eat a zillion calories and who is able to eat less than 1200 calories. My head is spinning this morning.

The calories each person needs to eat to lose weight is going to be different depending on gender, age and their particular metabolism. I decided to start eating more calories because of everyone saying that 1200 calories isn't enough and am now stuck around the same weight when i started eating 1400 calories instead of…

boston terriers of course :)
