It sounds to me like your happiness with your husband is relying on these other men that are showing you attention now that you have lost weight. Remember your husband was there through it all, and from the sound of it you just like the attention you are getting, but gain the weight back and see who is there for you. Those…

Love this! I have only lost about 9lbs, but a big thing I've noticed is my bras are already fitting better. They were starting to get SO tight I could barely stand to wear a normal bra, and I didn't want to buy new ones because well, I have expensive taste. LOL! But even with just about 8.5lbs gone I can already tell a…

Feel free to add me :smile: I am here every day! Good luck!!

As "seasoned" gentlemen I am going to actively ignore your somewhat rude comments and chalk it up to just a BIG difference in generations and gender. While I agree that some people just simply aren't "ready" to lose weight and they just are not committed to do so, sometimes people want something so bad but they lack the…

I am in the same boat! The only difference between now and before is that I'm doing this for the right reasons, and I'm doing it on my own. No gimmicks, no pills, no crazy diets....I have done all those before and they work but never long term. As soon as I'm off the "program" I gain all the weight back plus 10 or more.…

I have NEVER been a runner so I admire your passion. I am much more of a elliptical type cardio person. I was a competitive swimmer for years and I think I just have permanent sea legs. Good luck on your goals!!!

The biggest thing for me, this go around, has been not to even set long term goals. I have no idea how much weight I actually want to lose, or how long I want it to take. I just want to focus daily on what I'm putting in vs. what I'm burning. I am focusing on the reasons I eat, and trying to ask myself at the end of the…

Awesome! Thanks! :)

Good luck! I'm on the same journey just a little more weight to lose. Feel free to add me. I am on here daily :)

I have been through it, twice, both were D&C's, and afterwards found out that it is due to a rare chromosome issue that I am the carrier of and I will likely never have my own children. As someone who felt like I was BORN to be a mother it took years for me to recover, but I found myself at 261lbs. I am on a journey now to…

Right here with you girl. Feel free to add me (and anyone else can too)! Good luck on your journey and feel free to message me if you ever need a kick of motivation! :)

There is no way that "small" portion is 660 calories. It says it should be "11 oz" but that bowl had to weigh a pound or two. So I had a pasta spoon full, had a little too much fried calamari, and a TON of Diet Pepsi after two weeks with no caffeine. So I'll be up all night and crash tomorrow :confounded:

Unfortunately, that's like the only item on the menu I can't find the NI for. It must be a new dish. :expressionless: Glad the title made you giggle LOL!

I do a lot of leftovers from meals the nights before. It's just me and the hubs so we always try to cook more and pack it up as we make out plates (so we don't go back for more). I do a lot of meats and veggies so it makes it easy to portion out in containers for work. I also like soup, and I do try to keep a few frozen…

Midwest girl here too! *waves* :sunglasses:

I literally could have written this post. I get off work at 3:30 and my husband gets off and is home by 6:30. While I wait for him I seem to go crazy in the kitchen eating everything that isn't nailed down. Then I make dinner and eat that too. I have found I have to keep myself busy doing something else. I've tried making…

Yea the portions are HUGE. Even a small is a good two meals. The small portion of the Shrimp Florentine is 650 calories for 11oz.

Pizza! Definitely Pizza! :love:

Thank you so much!! :smile: You guys rock! You have given me options and helped me not be so overwhelmed!

That sounds yummy. And I have 850 calories left for the day (I already put in everything I have packed to eat at work). That whole serving is around 650 and even on a bad day I usually don't eat the whole serving, but if I did it wouldn't be the end of the world. Today was my first weigh-in day and I was down over 4lbs and…

I used to hate when people told me to drink water. But it's one of the few things that's helping me stay on track right now.

I survived pizza night with coworkers!!! :D

Right here with ya girl! Feel free to add me :smile:

That's where I get a bit lucky. I can say no to the sweets, and the candy, but the carbs....mmmm...lol I have PCOS and I know cutting WAY back on carbs is going to help me tremendously.

I'm from Indiana. Just next door! Good luck on your journey, I am just starting mine as well! Feel free to add me. I am also looking for new friends on this journey!! :smile:

Hey there! Same boat man! I have been up and down my whole life. SOOOO ready to be done with it once and for all. Make a lifestyle change and stick with it. Good luck to you!

Thanks ladies!
