Wasn't kicking him out of my life, just thought the situation was.. different. As for lecture, I didn't think it was but I can see where it can come off like that. Thanks for all the input, everyone :)

emdeesea, Pretty much what I was thinking - I didn't lose my memory, I just lost weight. kgeyser, that's pretty much what was going through my mind, I just didn't know if it was me just being a brat (in lame terms), or if I was completely justified. I know I was now that that seems to be the general response.

Fantastic! Keep it up!

kgeyser I can see where you're getting at with playing into the whole game if it continued to happen repeatedly after I had told him what I did. And in a way I guess that's why I didn't say anything right away until the second comment was made (before I said anything to him about it)...

I will have to keep that in mind. Unfortunately that's out of my usual personality trait of avoiding confrontation, but if I approached it like that, directly and quickly it would make things a lot less weird, quickly. That's definitely something I need to work on mentally with myself - have had to do that for a while.…

You said it yourself that 1 week was too soon to judge - because it is too soon to judge. Patience! I know we want what we want and we want it 5 minutes ago but as that annoying phrase goes - you didn't put it on in a (week, day, month.. blah blah blah), you're not going to be taking it off. As for your friend who did that…

For me my motivation at the beginning if all of this was my unhappiness with myself and where I was. I used that as my motivation to get off my butt and do something about it. Money was also am issue for me but at the time I started it was warmer out and I walked around my neighborhood, bike rode.. Whatever I needed to do…

I second this. Seriously. For the safety of you and your son.

Looking through the guys last few days in his diary shows that he's probably not logging everything he eats every day. A few days over the past 7 days I've looked at are either just one meal and no water calculations (or like a cup or two), or he's eating over 1,000 calories. If he's doing this for attention.. you be the…

Bumping this for when I get to where I'd like to be... I had read this somewhere else earlier and had adjusted my "goal" weight accordingly.

Bumping this post instead of creating a new post since I'm talking about the same thing (cuz I know that's a pet peeve of many :tongue: ) This morning I had it with my scale. I've been stepping on and off it 4 or five times in the morning when I weigh myself to make sure it's accurate. Today I had did it about 10 times. I…

I have these too and love them! I needed something to block out the chatty cathy's at work so I can remain focused. Works like a champ and very discreet. Awesome carrying case too.

Who got this picture of me running? Unacceptable. Good thing they cut out the ice cream truck I was trying to get to. :laugh:

Feel free to add me, you can check out my profile for all that fun info but this is about you. I'm sorry that you don't have a supportive family that can support you in a way that doesn't seem to put you down right after complimenting you. I think it's great that you're taking it in your own hands and you're "not even…

Bought a pair pf athletic pants that were a Medium (8-10 pant size) a month ago that JUSTFIT. Haven't worn them since it's been warm. I just put them on and I'm down 10 lbs from when I bought them and they look GREAT - besides being about 3 inches too long even in the petite length (I'm just 5ft).

Bumping this post because it had two good links on it and had exactly what I was looking for (instead of posting a new topic) ;)

I log allll dayyy errrrry day! Feel free anyone to add me! :)

It's a picture that is keeping me INSPIRED to keep going. I saw one of me the other day of where I want to be and it's made me focus back down because I was straying a little bit. Stay positive! You got this!

Same here! Feel free to add. I comment and am updating daily!

Don't count out the bridesmaids! I'm the maid of honor for my best friend! She's finally set her date today and I've been working towards a goal for a little over two months! I want to be maintaining by the time dress fittings come around! Congrats to all you brides! And Brides-to-Be!

Congrats! I had a smaller milestone Friday when I did a mile nonstop for the first time - EVER. Never in high school when they made you run it was I able to do it.. I would sprint walk, sprint to make up for lost time, walk and catch my breath. I plan on getting my way to a 5k for next year!

Very well then...

I use Pandora. I created a couple I go to normally depending on my mood. If you create a Sunshine by Lil Flip station it's got 90s popular rap. But lately when I haven't been feeling so gangster, I've created a Goldfinger station and that's a lot of ska/punk.. whatever you want to call it ... Faster paced music to keep me…

This!

What's wrong with not eating after 7pm? I do that during the work week when I know I will not have much time before going to bed to get ready for the next day...

I just looked up what they would classify me at my goal weight with my height.. I'd still be overweight. While I wasn't using BMI as an indication of what my goal should be, what do others use as a general guideline?

Me too! Bumping to pass along as,Ike to someone else this Sunday morning. :flowerforyou:

It is getting taxing, I'm seeing it now. Thanks again for all the advice everyone!

Yeah the more I think about it the more I sound like that. I just want her to achieve this when she's going through a rough time as it is right now. It's not fun when you have to take a step back and move in with your 27 year old daughter.

I appreciate the feedback so far. I will have to take a little bit of everyones advice - maybe it will be the right approach but I know for sure I will be making it clear that I will give it one more shot at helping her stay on track or she is on her own with it. I can't handle the stress it's causing. Skri, I don't keep…
