Wow! What a transformation! Way to go!

I am now keeping track of my daily posts about my May plan on my personal blog. I hope all of you keep up the work this month. I will post on this thread again at the end of my timeframe. :happy:

May 9 report: successfully complete the water part. Was good on clean eating until about 9pm, when epic fail and had kettle corn, candy coated popcorn, peanuts, and 2 glasses of wine. Also, had to work late and didnt have time to get to the gym. Not getting bummed... it's ok to have one night off, I guess. Back on track…

I started off feeling very bad for her and worried it was a health issue that led to her severe obesity... until I read the sentence that she was on a quest to become the world's heaviest woman. Then I lost all sympathy AND all respect for her. Why do that to yourself and your soon to be husband? All the extra daily work,…

May 8 mostly successful, but for a moment of weakness in the evening with a slice of cheese coffeecake and a glass of wine.

May 7 successfully completed.

Holy cow! What a fantastic transformation!!! Major kuddos!!

I'm game, but each time I set a goal, the date flies by with no progress. So, here goes: current weight 155 goal weight by April 1: 148.

congrats!!! You look wonderful!

Are you drinking enough water during the day? That's my first thought. My second is that yes, I also deal with bloating, usually first thing in the am in my hands, and then by afternoon I notice my midsection is bigger, but it goes down by night fall. I also notice less bloat when I have at least 12 glasses of water a day.

Hun, you should learn empowerment, and the standard that no one has power over you unless you let them. A few more pounds will make you feel better, but you should already feel fantastic for your progress so far! I suspect that the comments from your mom had less to do with you and more to do with her. Dear Abby addressed…

Have you tried to vary your workout? I've hear that it helps to change things up from time to time, that bodies get used to a certain routine.

I had the same problem when I was having a drink or two at night. Alcohol lowers the ability to say "no." I found that if I HAVE to snack, as in my stomach says "eat," or even when my mind says "eat" but I know I'm not hungry, that carrots or celery work wonders. If you need a little taste of something savory to go with…

I tried herbalife -- it's expensive, the pills taste horrible, I lost some weight but it didn't stay off. I agree with the other post --- fad diets aren't good. The best way is to change your lifestyle, eat healthy, moderate exercise. There is no quick weight loss out there. Steady and true, patience and persistence are…

You are his security blanket. The only way to break the habit of him is to cut out cold turkey. Take the blanket away and he'll either learn to live without it or find another security person. You need to put yourself first and cut ties with him. There's a much better guy out there for you, and God will bring you to him.…
