| Hey Singzjazz- Wow someone else from Rochester- I cannot imagine not drinking diet pepsi for 7 years- I dont drink coffee so I get my caffeine from that also- You think I would be more tired from no caffeine but I cannot sleep to save my life! 95 degrees today hmm should I go running? Maybe walking would be best- Hey, if you want to work out together let me know | |||

Hello all!! Just been busy with the kids and getting everything ready for back to school- I am going to miss those little ones- My son is going into 1st grade-that means full day away from Mommy:( and my daughter is going into 4th:( they are getting so old! Wait, does that mean Mommies getting old? You guys I have maintained the 3 pound weight loss since I started a couple of weeks ago- but I have to say thats it- I will not get discouraged- it will come off- I have done it before I can do it again- Discouraging thing is that I actually saw my reflection in my glass door today- OMG-what happened to me! I am worried a tad bit on one issue- and I will confide in you only because you will hopefully not be to critical- everytime I get my mind set on this- it becomes a major obsession where I will go days with just water- sometimes water pills also- I am afraid to be honest that once the kids go back to school and i have this in my head that I will become the exercise fanatic I was before- very very scary-I have to get this weight off- I am so so unhappy with how heavy I have gotten- My expectations I am afraid are set at a goal I will not soon be at. Also- I missed my period it is 1 wk late which is hanging on to weight I am bloated and nervous to say the very least- Congrats to everyone that is trying- |

| Thank you guys- I will try today it is 2 pm here and I have watched everything going in my mouth- I am going to do this! All of you with your replies have made me feel so good that honestly I started crying- thank you for being here to talk to- The friends I have are very very critical of me as well as my family. I have to breathe deep and focus- I cook for my children really really healthy and they eat healthy but then unfortunately when they go to bed and its time to relax- well its bad or me food time- not so much sweets but bad choices in food like pierogies and horrifying caloric things- I am drinking a LOT of water today and truthfully I think it is crucial- I had a personal trainer a couple of years ago and got obsessed with working out and the trainer to be truthful- and well I was working out 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours at night 6 days a week- weight was pooring off- well then we got into an argument because well I know it was a bad choice I started dating him and then I left the gym because he owned it- not only did i gain all of the weight back I got very depressed after- So, i know it can be done I even know what to do as far as cardio and weights in a gym- I was paying 35 bucks an hour at 4 hours a day x 6 yeah i know stupid- its like i was paying for him to date me-pretty pathetic huh? I will take the advice of all of you and I thank you very very much for helping me see the light- I will check in daily as I know you are sincere- I appreciate no criticism for I am un used to it- | |||

| Hi everybody- I am happy that everyone is doing so well, keep up the good work!! Hey Jessi-congrats on your weight loss-you are doing awesome! I on the other hand have fallen off the band wagon over here- I am bloated and honestly can say guys-that I have not weighed this ever- I officially weigh more than I did when I was 9 months pregnant- just one downfall 9 months have passed since all this weight went on and i dont get a baby! Just looked at my face in the mirror today-which I never do by the way-dont even have a full length mirror-never did actually and I could not believe what I was looking at- Iam now to a size 22- I am 5'8" I don't need to be 5/6 at 42 I will settle for a size 12! It's like I have no fight in me anymore and have given up-I ate like a small pig today-and now feel sick-I need help big time- I have got to get back on the road here-I havent written in a few days because I have been doing so poorly but I thought to myself-well, im going to write this anyway- I am sorry to all of you for disappointing you-I will try again tomorrow- some days are just wicked harder than others-Goodnight and congrats to all again. | |||

| Hi everyone!! How is everyone doing? Good job at the bbq Jess I am proud of you also! Stress majorly happening over here- I have a 9 yr old girl and a 6 yr old son- once again my ex husband did not show for his visitation yesterday- as promised- but instead of going for the ice cream in the fridge-I took the kids out on the lawn read books to them and had a sugar free popsicle- hey ya know what the kids don't even know they have no sugar in them! I am an emotional eater for sure- and now that I have targeted it I am sure to stop before bingeing! Hope you all have a great day-I am off to take a walk with kids down to the their school-get them pumped up to go back- It is only 3 blocks up and I vowed to them and myself that I will walk them every morning and pick them up after school every day- | |||

| Okay here I am- been dieting for the past few days- down 3 pounds since Wednesday-this is what happens up and down-up and down-just drinking a ton of water and watching everything that is going in my mouth- my trick- look at it in front of you before you start eating it- and never eat while you are preparing anything- I am determined-had the worst date of my life the other night-let's just say he said I was beautiful that night and the next day no phone call but an email 2 days later telling me he met someone at a festival- translation- i'm not into you because youre fat! Well, I will show him and everyone else-kept his number for when I reach my goal weight to ask him out-Anyway, I am on my way-Another hint- never eat while watching television- and shut of the t.v. put some music on-and not that depressing stuff- put on upbeat music that makes you want to move or clean or anything for goodness sakes!! Lets stop feeling sorry for ourselves and do this! We are all great people- We know this- lets show it on the outside as well as the inside- Have to go I have a 6 and 9 yr old that are probably getting into something by now! Talk to you girls later! Gin- | |||

| May I join- It is almost 5 a.m. in New York and I cannot sleep- I am constantly depressed about my weight and frankly have given up. I am at a current weight at 257 pounds at 5 foot 8 I have about 110 pounds to lose- I used to weigh 180 when I married my ex husband and he was constantly calling me fat and it would just want me to eat more and more- well here I am fatter and divorced! Everyone I meet since my ex I feel like they are not looking at me but looking at how fat my stomach is. I dont ever believe anyone when they tell me how attractive I am. My Mom has told me since I was 9 years old how fat I was and now I have a 9 year old who is slim and tall. I need encouragement not to sound like a baby- but I sure could use some friends right now. I think it would help me in the journey. I hate myself right now- and food is the only thing that seems to be the only comforting thing. I dont get along with my family because they all judge me on the way I look and call me fat all the time- I have 5 sisters all below either below or slightly above 100 pounds and we are all close in age. Help me help myself- I cant cry anymore I am running out of tears- Between men and my family my self esteem is shot. People used to tell me in my 20s that I looked like Brooke Shields and at 140 pounds back then I thought I was fat because of my Mom and my first boyfriend telling me I could lose a little weight. I have stuggled with this forever and I just need some real friends that are going through the same thing. I know I can do it if I have some help mentally- Thanks-Ginny | |||
