So...I took my daughter to school this morning and we got lost....haha....good thing I was with her huh....anyways we found her classroom and I helped her find her cubby to put her book bag and helped her find her table.....she then told me to give her a kiss and then said "mommy, you can go now" LOL She rode the bus home…

Just wanted to say thank you all for all the positive thoughts and words of encouragement. Home schooling is probably not in our future simply because I do work....granted only part-time while school is in but still....every little bit helps. The start of a new school year probably is hectic for the teacher and I hope that…

This is kinda sad for me........Once I wasn't able to wear all my old shoes I gave them away!!!! I never once thought about the fact if I loose the weight then I could wear them again!!! But on the positive side I can use this as an excuse to go buy more once I do loose all this extra weight!! LOL

I am a cake decorator / baker. Lots of goodies around me all day ;) but......I don't eat any of it!! I use to eat it every day thinking to myself.....one or two wont hurt...... But once I took a step back and said no more.....I have lost 30lbs. Don't get me wrong.....Once in a while (and I mean maybe, (a big MAYBE) once a…

Just for the record......I never thought you was a bad mom for doing the things you have been doing. No ones perfect and any parent (or non parent for that manner) out there that bashed you for "punishing" your child is "in my opinion" WRONG!! I read this post and gave you what you asked for.......ADVICE......EVERY parent…
-
Every child is different and only you (momma) know if she is doing this to be "bad" or not. Children are very smart in a lot of ways. Instead of understanding logic and just coming to you to express how they feel or even just asking you for what they want..... they look for ways to ,in a since, "manipulate" the adults in…

Words cannot express what I am really feeling for you. I have said a prayer for you, your fathers soul and your family. I am glad you were able to get to talk to him before he passed not only for him but for you too. He had to have known of your love for him. This really touches me simply because I haven't spoken to my dad…

This is such an amazing story.....congratulations to you!!! You look beautiful!!

I think there are a lot of different motivators out there. For me its basically that if you are happy with yourself and your life is going in a good direction and you are willing to let go of all the negative things that got you to the overweight point then loosing the excess weight should be pretty easy.
-
I am just doing basic right now. leg lifts. crunches, lunges, arms. I logged yesterday 10 each at three rep and I didn't earn any extra calories. And also I'm not really looking for extra calories. I just have a lot of weight to lose and I am really just looking to tone my body so that it goes back to somewhat normal…
-
Not quite 300 but 270 is my highest weight. For me I was at a "normal" weight for all my life growing up. around 130 to 140 When I got pregnant with my first at the age of 31 I gained over 80lbs during this pregnancy. I didn't even realize that I had gained that much weight! I remember packing into my overnight bag a pair…
-
I have lost about 27lbs and still haven't changed my pants. I am fitting into some smaller shirts though. (so maybe my boobs are shrinking?) I think I have done the same as you. my back and legs seem smaller. (I know this is TMI but........I can put my legs together comfortably now....LOL) and my hubby is a little upset…
-
I am curious to hear what anyone has to say about this as well???
-
For your wedding use make up foundation......I know of a lot of ladies that do that for tan lines and such......Congratulations!!
-
Welcome!! I have a lot more to lose than you but I have found all of the support and just really nice people on here help motivate me and they make me feel good!! Add me as a friend if you want!! I love talking to new people and encouraging and getting encouragement!! LOL I am a mom of three and work part time as a baker/…

my starting weight was 270. I also started this journey on June 12th. I am now 250. So yes you can lose 20lbs in one month. But I think its because we are so heavy to begin with. I wouldn't try to loose 20 again the next month. This is just my opinion. Don't get me wrong I am so excited about my 20lb loss and I am wanting…
-
haha....and I guess mine is a black knight in shining armor.....
-
I have noticed the same!!! I thought I was crazy....LOL. But my belly is getting wrinkles, or dimples (my way of describing what I am seeing....LOL) plus I can see my stretch marks more clearly. Not to happy about that but hey.....I want this weight gone so guess I will just deal with it....thanks for posting this....gives…
-
I have just said a prayer for you......with that said I am going to be brutally honest with you........I don't know your whole life story but I do know this.....you are in an unhealthy mode right now of feeling sorry for yourself. You will not succeed with your goals while in this mode......I know from first hand…
-
Hey I have over 100lbs to lose.....I know excaly how you feel when you talk about looking in the mirror and feeling so worn when your kids want to go out and play.....(I have a 5yr old and 3yr, plus a 10) Add me if you want!! I just started a few days ago really logging on here and my goal is to be on here everyday…
-
WOW...... a lot of great advice here....thank you guys so much. Makes me feel a little better knowing that others have this issue and have found ways out of it.....I will defiantly be looking into a farmers market. I have one tomato plant that I bought at the beginning of this season (to see if I could keep it…

I am hypothyroid too. I was just diagnosed with it at the end of may and I also have PCOS and Insulin Resistant. My doctor has told me I need to loose down to 130lbs. but right now I'm shooting for 160lbs. I never understood why I kept gaining weight and why I was soooo tired all the time. Would love to be friends with all…

HEY....we are human and we all make mistakes.....the best and most positive thing I see here is that you realized what you were doing and want to change. I too have an addiction to food. mine isn't so much sweets as it is good home cooked foods. (I'm southern and married to an Italian....LOL) I have a hard time with not…
