My hunger snack is a piece of bread with a tablespoon of jam AND a glass of water. Pretty satisfying. I agree with everyone else... eat something... just don't go nutso. THEN go for a walk. If it is night walk around the mall (avoiding the food court, lol) or take a friend with you. and remember...

YIKES! I am SO sorry you were treated that way. Can i slap her for you? I really want to!

You are a GREAT mom, with a GREAT attitude! Your kids will grow up and do very well.

I am a father of 7. YOU are the parent and you are doing a good job. Personally, we limited the junk food but never eliminated it. We only bought soda for parties or for the rare treat, but always had juice in the fridge. We had a snack schedule on the fridge allowing them to choose ONE limited snack of a set size twice a…

A few months ago I was a chaperon at a youth dance and went outside to walk the building. There was a kid out there and I started up this little grass knoll my feet went out behind me and I was FLAT on my face... OUCH...

"It matters not if we try and fail, and try and fail again. But it matters much if we try and fail and fail to try again." Click on "Community" then "Find Members" and search for people similar to yourself. Be patient. It took YEARS to gain that weight. Take it off slow and learn to be healthy. We all have ups and downs…

True happiness comes from service to others, not from how we look. BUT, how we look and feel help us to serve others better. "Clothes make the man/woman" does have some truth though, when we feel that we look our best, we have more confidence and are better able to help other people. Looking for happiness? Be a volunteer…

Going to have to try that... So that's 100 calories for each, right?

That's GREAT! Such a good feeling to have those little successes. I had a similar one today when I put on a pair of shorts I had not worn in a while and found them slipping down! NEXT size please!!

A few years ago I lost about 35lbs on Atkins and kept it off for years. 2 years ago I started slowly putting it back til I had 20 of it back. I tried to do the Atkins again but just could not. I started here on MFP a few months ago determined to just learn to eat properly. I have now lost that 20 lbs and am looking to…

I know the feeling... But don't despair! Its ok to blow it for a day or so... just get back in the game. You CAN do it. Some things I have learned... 1. In the first weeks of starting exercise program most folks gain weight because a cubic inch of muscle weighs more than a cubic inch fat. SO don't just weigh yourself...…

Congrats. Biking is a great activity. My wife and I are doing the same and we are regularly riding about 11 miles up and down hills now. But I know what you mean, the first few times it was a real struggle just to get in a couple of miles. My NSV yesterday was going up our super long steep hill just before we get home in…

I am an attorney and would advise her to get a restraining order. Next time he shows up, call the cops and have him arrested. ALSO, you can get fairly inexpensive security cameras sets from Costco, etc. with DVRs. She should get these and install them around her house for evidence. I would not hurt to hire a tough off duty…

That cracked me up! Thanks for sharing!

Some things I have learned... 1. In the first weeks of starting exercise program most folks gain weight because a cubic inch of muscle weighs more than a cubic inch fat. SO don't just weigh yourself... MEASURE to see what your body is really doing. 2. NEVER eat less than about 125O calories... OR try to loose too much too…

eat some... just not a lot

Did I post this? No, guess not since I don't have a "hubby" I am looking to change my evening habits too. Maybe go for a walk? ride the bike? clean the house (boring... lol) Some kind of hobby or evening project I think is what I need....

You have higher expectations on your appearance now. I think maybe because you are too focused on appearance rather than your health? If you agree, maybe you could loose the scale and the full length mirror for a while and just focus on healthy living. NORMAL healthy living... no fad diets, regular exercise. Think more…

Support to me is a comfortable girdle.

You all made me laugh! Thank YOU!!

Its hard getting rid of those secret stashes!! lol

I LOVE this answer! But wait... you are talking to us! lol
-
It does make sense Pinky.. just don't call people who are well intentioned with a different opinion than yours a "hater" that's not nice! (... and he was right)
-
Sounds like you have the right attitude for long term success! This is a great place and I have yet to see a "hater" on here. What I see is great people all trying to support and help one another with their personal experiences and knowledge. Steady and slow is the way to go!

My wife and I are doing this together and I was teasing her that she was going from a D to an A... lol You are not crazy.

OR... just eat HALF of whatever. Take the rest home for dinner. I always hear the voice of my grandmother in my head "clean your plate!" BUT I don't have to clean my plate! I can leave as much food as I want because my eating it will NOT help the "starving children in India"!

Curious... I agree that kids are different, no doubt. But do you think your parents were really engaged and "supervising" you and you just were sneaky? or?? I really am curious.

It amazes me too! lol (Hint: Post graduate science majors get FREE schooling AND get paid for working in the lab!!)
