I'm totally with you on your comments...I've learned to stay clear of all the "goodies & gunk", I don't buy it. My husband is the major problem because he too is an emotional eater & a boredom eater and he has no problems going grocery shopping and bring home tons of sh#t. I've asked him to stop and he does for a while and then it creeps back in. He is about 100 lbs over weight and extremely sedentary....loves his tv, dvd's & the computer. He's hard to get motivated.AGGGGHHHHHH. I've just been doing my thing with the kids andd if he wants to join us he does....his loss. I just hate being married to someone I absolutely love that doesn't like to do anything. He's definately changed a lot, he use to enjoy doing so much...Sorry I'm rambling on...just gotta get it out once in a while makes me feel a bit better.

Anyway the way I treat myself to a something bad is to keep single serve dark chocolate or some single serve all natural fudge pops or ice cream.

Have a good one

Alright now!! I have had a hellacous past few days...that time of the month and as I'm getting older I am useless for at least 2 days when I have my period...going on a steady 3...hopefully tomorrow will be a new day! Hopefully I will have some good news to report by Friday...after reading every ones posts I'm really excited. Keep on keepin on.

OK to start off my adventure, I have a daily goal to log my calories, and excersice, at least walking and hopefully something else!

I'm a Mom of 3 awesome kids, 11,9,&7. I've been forever trying to lose weight. I lost a bunch using CC and have kind of drifted away over the past 6 months or so. I put back on about 5lbs. I have not returned to my old ways,  but I have not been as careful as I was when I was using CC daily. So I've been back to mentally counting & when I recieved news of my sisters surprise wedding, & realised how close summer is ...I must get my rear in gear!

PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM THIS FORUM

Ippo,

Let me tell you how relieved I was to read your story, a truly great and inspirational one. I have been cc-ing since the end of October and I have lost 34 so far. I am really intrigued by your story on the behalf of my husband. He is about 75-100 lbs overweight and I feel like we (me and our three kids) are losing him. I am going  to share your letter with him because I have a feeling it will hit home for him and hopefully realise that he is getting lost in the ugliness of being overweight. I am not talking about the cosmetic side of it but the ugliness we feel inside when we don't feel free and healthy. The ugliness we feel when we look in the mirror and are not happy with what we see because "that is not me", the ugliness we feel when we can not run around with our children or go to the beach and swim or ski down a mountain because you can not bend over easily or you get winded too easily. The ugliness we feel because we don't want to try new things because of the being over weight.

You and your mom deserve a huge hug of thanks. She probably felt really bad about what she said and it was probably on her mind for a long time before she saying anything to you but she went out on a limb for her child and look what she has done, the trickle down effect will affect many peoples lives.

And with that I thank you and your mom.

weight on Dec 24: 223

I definately amied too high for December....didn't realise how much more i actually eat when everyone is home...and with all the temptations my mother and in law brought over....even after i asked them not too. I really wanted to trough them out and i should have. Oh well at least i lost 5 lbs

I've only been doing cc for about a month and my son has definitely lost a few lbs. He is 10 and is really starting to understand the entire concept of good eating and health, which I'm so relieved about because I thought we were all going to the deep end. I asked him to show me his belly and back and i could really see a difference in his love handles. I am so proud of him. Now if I could get my skinny minny 6 year old to understand that vegetables are our friends and they want us to eat them, I would feel even better!  My 8 yr old is very athletic and she is starting to understand that junk food is not a long lasting fuel. The husband is a another issue, but I'm starting to see signs, so I'm hopeful. I am really hoping my Mom will start making better choices too, she is so unhealthy and I hate to see her like that.

I also have proposed a calorie counting study/project for my children's health classes and their teacher loved the idea. And according to the school nurse she said that NY State will require school nurses to measure BMI on all kids next year.

Carbinsol,

Thanks for the book idea, I'm going to order it today as a x-mas gift. I'm surprised his dr. hasn't suggested the diabetes to him, or maybe he has, but my husband is mot saying anything.

thamks again

I'm trying my best not to nag him, and I've found myself just giving him a look, which I know I shouldn't do either. I hope he does wake up soon, I don't like doing all the things we use to do together by myself. I want him to be healthy and happy.

I cook practically every-night, chicken, fish, steak,rice, potato, pasta,veggies, etc. If he isn't in the mood for what I cook or really doesn't enjoy what's on the menu he will go to the store and buy something for himself.
