I have had to deal with this often! My solution? I gratiously say "thank yew" and the minute they are out of sight I find the nearest garbage can and LAUNCH IT!! When I say NO THANK YOU, I MEAN IT!! :grumble:

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look great!! I've been taking Zumba for 6 months and LOVE IT!! =)

You look amazing!! Well done!! :drinker:

This chick loves a "grown up" drink! Woot Woot!! So much so that when I was pregnant and couldn't drink I would make my husband drink so I could smell his breathe!! LMAO!!! :drinker:

Great job! You look FANTASTIC!!

I am not an expert on relationships, but after 18 years of marriage and hearing my mother's wisdom in her 45 year marriage to my dad, this is what I've learned. The sabotage, when it occurs (and it does), has nothing to do with me. My husband is a good guy and so is my dad. The truth is this: When I am over weight, I am…

Fantastic job!! You look AMAZING!!! :smile:

Charcoal......without question, there's nothing like it! :tongue:

Yay, you!!! Congratulations! What an AWESOME accomplishment!! =)

I was stuck at a 10 pounds weight loss after 2 months. I asked some other MFP users for advice. The resounding answer was EAT MORE. I thought "what the hell" and gave it a try. I have sense lost another 2 pounds and more importantly, I feel better. When I was eating 1200 calories a day, I was cranky and sluggish. At 1600 -…

Fitness!!!

Just tried quinoa last weekend! I loved it! Can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing!! :happy:

What a wonderful testimony to your hard work and commitment! Congratulations!!!

Hi! I am 44, married with 2 kids and work part-time while they are in school. Congratulations on almost reaching your goal! I have a ways to go yet (11 lbs with 50 lbs left), but I'm working hard and I am a starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. =) Feel free to add me. I am learning that we all need support and…

I can speak from experience when I say that everyone's advice to you is RIGHT ON! I walk daily and take Zumba on Tuesdays and Thursday nights (side note: LOVE Zumba :happy: ) I was burning between 600 and 900 calories a day, but I wasn't eating enough calories. I posted questions on a message board and I got the same…

I can relate to your situation sooooo much! My stepson began gaining weight immediately after my husbands divorce from his mom. By the time I came into the picture, he was 7 years old and 20lbs over weight. The numbers eventually ballooned to well over 300lbs by the time he was 17. We have always been involved in his life,…

Thank you for taking a look. All input is WELCOME! This is sooo confusing to me. I'll check out the group!

Okay....I just figured out how to open my diary. Doing it right now. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your help! :smile:

I am in the same boat. I lost 10 hard fought pounds and now I'm stuck!! I look and feel better but no more weight lost. I eat between 1200 to 1500 calories a day. Anything more than that just seems like too much. This is my third time shedding the weight and for me it always seems that my body has to "gear up" before I…

Hang in there! You can do it! The fact that you were able to maintain the 25 lb loss is FANTASTIC!! :happy: All I can say is "look out" to your friend! Based on the sound of your post....... IT'S ON!!!! :huh:

I'm new to the group too! I am 44 years old and married with 2 children (ages 9 and 12). I lost 50lbs about 4 years ago and I've gain every pound back! :ohwell: I am now on the road to recovery. As a wife and mother it is soooo easy to slip into a pattern of constant giving and putting everyone else before me. I am making…

I can relate to your being pissed at yourself for loosing sight of YOU. I'm right there with you! This will be the 3rd time for me. Praying that this time I have the wisdom and clarity to see what my triggers are when I start to unravel. I am thankful that there are other women who are in the same boat. Make me feel like…

Hi! Just turned 44 a month a go! I'm married and I have two kids 12 and 9. This will be my 3rd time getting the weight off. I have 60lbs to loose. Really trying to pay attention this time as to why I end up back here......putting myself last. :sad: Been working out steadily for the last 2 months and though I've only lost a…

I HATE yogurt!!! But I make myself eat it every day. There are times when I have to choke it down, but I get it done! :embarassed: Not a good look from a grown woman. Reminds me of when I was little and I had to sit at the dinner table until I finished my DIXIE CUP of milk! :ohwell:
