I'm hoping for a come back
I lost over 100 lbs in 9 mon. but in the last year I have gained 40 of it back. I could make excuses but the fact is I just gave up. I need to get motivated again. Because of health reasons I can't exercise as hard as I did before but I can quit eating. I would like to lose 30-35 lbs.

Changes you have noticed
One of the big changes I have noticed is I went shopping yesterday and left with only fruits and vegetables. Didn't even think of going for the chips, desserts and pepsi. I got in the car and told hubby things have really changed a year ago I would have brought back chips cookies and pepsi.

Getting tired all the comments
Why can't people mind their own business. My boss had to defend me the other day because someone said I could not have lost all the weight by not eating and exercising. He swore I had to have had surgery. She told him I couldn't have had because I had not missed a day of work. I am so sick of hearing that I am too skinny I…

new motivation
I decided I am now motivated to lose another 5 to 10 lbs. I got the motivation from one of our male customers. He told me I needed to put on a few lbs as he liked his women a little plump. I am sorry but this guy is grossly overweight and I don't want him liking me.

Not only weight lose but I've lost my boobs
Well I never was very big chested until I gained weight. I had gotten to a 38c but now with losing weight I am at a 34b. I always said that I wasn't worried about all the excess skin but if I had the money I would do a boob job so I could have Perky boobs again. But the ultimate insult was when a guy told me I should put…
