I would love to be your friend, feel free to send a request. God blessed me with the children who gave me this body!! :0)

HAhahahahahahaha!!!! That just brought back memories, and made me feel old when I realized that was nearly 20 yrs ago.

I am a firm believer of men and women were created equal.....BUT, not when it comes to weight loss. It has taken me since the beginning of December to lose 8 lbs. I know deep down inside I could be trying harder. Weight loss......slow and steady wins the race. You have to make it a change in lifestyle, not a diet. Maybe…

I like #1. My husband did a double take while he was passing by and said 1 and 4 are the best. They show off your nice curves. Where did you get that #1 dress? Its really nice!

I was having the same problem and just found out that I have a thyroid issue that is making it harder to lose weight. Get some bloodwork done, full thyroid, it is an extremely common issue. I just started synthroid yesterday. It will take a few weeks to kick in. My sister started it and she took 30 lbs off from the meds.

If you can do something straight for 21 days, you can keep to it. THe adjustment period is hard in the beginning. I have been dieting since November 29 and I was a carb chocolate junkie. You would never see me eating a salad. My body is now craving the good stuff, which I never thought I would be saying "Wow, I can't wait…

Definately need more protein. One of my favorite source is 3 egg whites with 2% cheese, you can make an omelet, or even put it on a light rye bread. Peanut butter is another great protein. I tend to eat protein in the morning and it holds over my appetite. The carbs are a temporary feeling of being full, but then the…

I have 3 little boys and work, and I know EXACTLY how you feel!!!! I started gradually and started making half caffienated. I also bought caffeine free soda. If you do it cold turkey, you will get withdrawal headaches, and than find yourself in the closet with some Starbucks chugging the pain away ;0)

Thank you everyone. I have already looked into another Dr. My blood pressure was 90 over 70. I do feel so tired right now, but I thought it was because I was a mom of 3 boys, working 2 jobs, and just trying to live life. If I get a medicine that will give me the energy to work out, I will FIND the time. I have been feeling…

I am lazy :) I was hoping it was my thyroid and not the cheeseburgers, lol. Thanks!!! I am on a 1500 calorie intake now and have been doing it for a month. Its working slowly. I will be getting a treadmill soon to help take the weight off.

yes low carb and low fat.

Thanks!! I can't tell you how many times I just had to think of you and I put the twinkie down :) Thank you!!!! we WILL do this.

Awwww, thanks, and I have to say you are my girl! Thank you so much for everything. We WILL do it!!!

Great job!!! Huge difference. You are an inspiration to me! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for posting I started out at 223 and want to weight 165. I am 5 foot 9. Seeing how skinny you are at 180 really motivates me. You looked gorgeous and beautiful before, now you just look slammin! Awesome job! I bet you clothes shopping is alot of fun now! Keep up the good work! You are a total inspiration!

hahahaha, those bands brought back memories, God, I'm old.

WOw, what a huge difference!! Keep up the good work!!

I slipped up on Saturday night. I probably had as many martinis as I should water. Mini hot dogs were screaming at me, and so was the Chicken Francese and sausage and peppers. (I never get out with my husband , and we ate and drank) The food was horrendously delicious. I slipped, thats all. Brush off, and start a new day.…

I am on here about a week, I am not supposed to weigh in until tomorrow. Had a date with hubby Saturday night and went off the diet. Sunday morning I started right back up. It's like riding a bike. When I weighed myself this morning, I realized I had gained a lb, (probably due to my cycle arriving this week) I would love…

That is a great idea. I think they make very small crock pots too :)

Hey everyone, I am new here, been doing this a few days now. I am finding it very easy. I would love to support you all and receive some support. I am a wife and mom of 3 boys. I am looking to lose about 50-60 lbs. I just recently gained 18 lbs over the past 6 months...but for a good reason, I quit smoking, Now that I have…

Yes, I saw the photos when I opened a new tab. You really look fantastic. I am sure its going to be a long journey for myself, as it is for everyone, but looking at your story really helps me. Keep up the good work. I recently quit smoking 6 months agoand put on 18 lbs, but I wouldn't trade those 18 lbs for the world if it…

Are you following any special program? I am just tracking my intake and staying within the parameters of my daily allowance. ANy pointers would be great!

Wow, that is so inspiring!!!! Congrats! I just ended day two today. Long way to go, but looking at your success keeps me motivated!
