Maybe you say too much? Or your tone seems insincere or sarcastic? :frown: Sometimes less is more...I know I have to watch my facial expressions a lot because they are my dead give away to what I am thinking...

This is terrific! Way to go! I had an eating disorder 5-6 years ago and luckily pulled myself out of it. Sadly though, most people don't recognize the mental anguish of these disorders and only see the exterior of what they seem to be. This site has been perfect for when those panicky feelings come back on occasion, and I…

My husband would readily agree with anyone who said anything like that...he always ask how a guy like him, got a girl like me (I just laugh at him) but I do know a guy who gets those comments and it enrages him (I'm guessing his self esteem is pretty dang low)...

Same reply :) there needs to be a like button, I would totally be hitting it!

:smile: That's awesome! Keep it up if it, you could be running miles before you know it!

Welcome! Hope you find this site helpful on your journey! You can totally do this!

Nah I don't think so...I had a HUGE bottle of prenatals during my pregnancy and have been taking them since then to not be wasteful...I've steadily lost weight even though I am still on them.

Wow, I don't blame you for not wanting to eat with braces! Hopefully this works as a daily reminder to keep eating to stay healthy! :smile:

Your abs are incredible!

You sit and pout when something interfers with your run schedule :blushing:

Totally! I don't even considor logging my calories a diet! I just keep within my limit and make room to eat a special treat when I want it, or I exercise it off! This is a great site and will help a lot if you can get into it!

I checked an it isn't in the database, but you should be able to add it...I've seen it used before!

I didn't have a chance to breastfeed for too long...but my friend has, she has dropped a lot of weight by just eating healthy (smoothies, healthy sandwiches for lunch and fruits etc.) and not overdoing the junkfood and by either walking or doing to elliptical (20 mins). Pushing yourself too hard can actually release toxins…

That is so cute!

Keep it up! When I started jogging I couldn't even make it a minute without feeling like I was going to die, but I did it in increments like you are, breaking up the jogging with walking and now I can run for 30 minutes straight! It takes some time, but it's sooo worth it! You're doing awesome!

Wow! So happy for you! You look incredible!

Yay for everything in this video! You are a wonderful inspiration! Thank you for sharing!

Make sure you give your body plenty of time to heal! Congrats on that beautiful baby! She will be the best motivaton ever if you let her! I know mine is!

I'm sorry, I can never understand why people decide to be awful instead of caring and supportive of each other. Don't let it get you down, sounds like their opinions are pretty shallow and matterless. You should make only YOUR opinion matter at this time of your life and keep going strong! It's hard when you're not losing,…

Every time I've lost weight, it has never helped my confidence...before I had my baby I was 126 lbs...and my confidence remained the same...The reason? I let what everyone who have always said bad things to me about the way I look or how much I weigh rule over me, instead of being honest with myself and looking in the…

I can't even imagine that would be easy if the people you hang with are still doing the same thing. Good job on staying strong and learning you can still have fun!

I'm trying to lose the baby weight too after being healthy and slim before! Having a baby sure gives you another reason to want to be healthy! Good luck with your weight loss and keep enjoying your baby!

Yum! Bump!:love:

Yeah, stuff like that has really caused me to feel like I can't say anything around most people...only a select few. That's what I love about this site, everyone is excited for everyone else to lose weight! BTW you have a beautiful family :)

I thought about it, but didn't see the point...I like keeping things seperate...always better to be in the cautious side!

hehe! Not all of us are carry the mail and try to raise 6 kids on our own and exercise! How are you not eating more than 1800 caloriesl? I have to say, I am sooo totally impressed! Raising that many kids on your own and working and exercising? I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it....I'd pass out! Don't feel left out! We're all…

I LOVE COFFEE!...but....in moderation it is fine, in excess it can be bad! I used to work in the coffee business and so I have read a lot about coffee...such as you shouldn't drink coffee before a meal, the oils in it (as well as the caffiene) coat your stomach and keep you from absorbing nutrients...coffee can of course…

:laugh: Don't ask me... I'm not the scientist's who said it...far from it, I can't usually get myself to drink anything that has calories :embarassed: Either that or the recovery drink people are lying on their labels...or the scientists are lying to get on the news lol
