My mom gave me a goal.
I don't talk to my mom often but Hubby is encouraging me to reach out more while he's gone because he thinks I'll need company. Its not healthy for me to get too close so I'm still trying to maintain some distance. Last time I saw her, she had dropped a lot of weight in a short amount of time because apparently she is…

Good foods for long hours on the road.
My hubby is most likely going to school soon to be an otr trucker. To save money, he plans on taking as much food with him as possible. He's also looking at ways to lose weight and get in shape while being on the road all the time. Since I do most of the grocery shopping, I figured I'd check here for some easy foods to…

Success in progress.
Today, was the first time in years that I weighed in below 270lbs without being pregnant (I lost a lot of weight in the first half of both pregnancies.) I'm still huge but I've lost 35lbs which is almost double what I lost in my second most successful attempt at weight loss. 20 more and I can say good-bye to morbid…

Sorry Ihaven't checked in much.
I haven't checked in much but I've logged everything I ate every day. I joined the site on 5/14 and I've already lost 27lbs. That's the most I've ever lost before giving up and I'm still going strong. I just have to hop on the boards more often.

Finally added exercise.
I finally started P90X. I was going to start when this group started but I kept coming up with excuses. But no more. Also, I was worried about losing my milk supply but drinking more water and eating healthier seems to have increased it.

Tiny victory today.
While out shopping, my 2-year-old started crying that she was hungry. My husband pulled in to Burger King to get breakfast. He doesn't know how to be supportive of a diet. He's one of those feeder types, you know the kind that offers food to anyone who comes in the door. Anyway he ordered my usual breakfast platter before…

Need to vent.
The baby is still going through her fussy phase. She started up again while I was cooking dinner. Since it is Hubby's night off I let him decide whether he wanted to cook or soothe the baby. He loves to cook so he took over dinner. He made another small side and some cornbread. He also added corn to the peas and got so…

Looking for recipes and meal ideas.
We're switching to healthier eating. However our refrigerator died and I'm not sure exactly when we can get a new one. We're on a tight (but doable) grocery budget. I need quick, fairly easy meals because cooking usually gets interrupted by one of my girls. My husband wants to do those boxed Homestyle Bakes until we can…

I hate myself.
I originally started trying to lose weight over 3 years ago. I lost 15 lbs then we had deaths in the family and then I got pregnant. I lost weight while pregnant but I ballooned up while breastfeeding. January of 2013, we were living with my husband's aunt and I started P90X. I lost 20 lbs but she picked on me incessantly…
