| Motivation | Nothing to wear in the process of losing weight...has anyone experienced this? | Jan 23 2009 18:01 (UTC) |

I had this problem. I went out and spent a bunch of money on new clothes every month it seemed like then when all my weight was off I had nothing to wear and no money. I've just finished getting my wardrobe built up and I've been wearing the same size for 2 years now. Don't spend you saved money on temporary stuff because you will end up like me. What I would suggest is to find a couple of nice consignment stores around your area and shop there. My favorite thrift store just shut down so I am bummed but a lot of thrift stores are really nice and have really nice stuff that you can buy for cheap. |

| Foods | Eating Out... The Salad Trap | Jan 20 2009 20:12 (UTC) |

I did this at The Honey Baked Ham shop with a Turkey Sanwich!!! Ugh!!! Darn that Turkey Sandwich. But in all seriousness I usually try to look up the restuarant menu and nutrition guide if I know where I am going. Try to go for Chicken, Salmon, or any type of Fish if that is something that you enjoy. I have found that the Fish Dinners normally have lower cals then anything on a menu including salad. I enjoy salads because I know all the veggies are way more nutritious then a cheeseburger. Although they may be high in calories the health benefits are still there with a salad. |

I think you need a second opinion, 1500 calories too much?!!! How many calories have they recommended that you eat a day? Or have they not said? This is all crazy to me, I don't like doctors who don't listen to their patients. We pay them enough to do their jobs so they need to do it. Do you take any vitamins? Maybe try adding vitamin B-12 into your plan if you don't already, it helps with metabolism and is good for your heart. I was going to ask about thyroid but you already answered that question. Good Luck and get a second opinion. |

I am sorry you are feeling bad. You need to take a good look at who you are and realize that you are a beautiful person inside and out. You also need to have a serious talk with your fiancee and let him know how important this is to you and he needs to understand and be supportive of you. You don't always have to substitute flavor for health, you just have to be creative sometimes. You may want to join the healthy cooking group, and the I Love to Bake group for some good ideas on how to do that. Another thing and I think most important you may want to get your Thyroid checked out. You said you were working out like a mad women and trying to eat better but you are still gaining weight. There are medical conditions that can cause this and make it harder for you to lose weight. You need to schedule a physical with your doctor and let him know the issue, have him do at least a thyroid test. If it is a medical condition then they can put you on medicine that can help those conditions. Good Luck!!! |

| Foods | Diet Coke!? | Dec 03 2008 21:23 (UTC) |

I LOVE Coke Zero but I limit myself to 1-2 glasses a day. Other then that I drink Water, it seems like I always have a glass of Water!!! While diet drinks don't have any calories water is still the best thing for you. It helps to keep water weight off and is just all in all the best choice. I've heard that for every caffiene beverage you consume you should drink 8 oz of water to keep your body from getting dependent on caffiene. |

| Weight Loss | Wow. Since when is a size 6 too big?? | Nov 29 2008 17:13 (UTC) |

That is really messed up!!! If it were me I would cut that person out of my life completely. With "friends" like that you don't need enemies. A size 4 and a size 6 are both small sizes and in no way too big. I agree that some people need to mind their own clothing size especially if they are going to be negative and hurtful about it. |

I actually use Slim-Fast Shakes on mornings where I don't have time to fix breakfast, they are really good and CC grades them an A for nutrition. I also like their optima bars and snacks they are really good too and the ones I've used are also graded A's. |

I can't even watch that video because I can't stand to see people do bad things to children. I am a mother of a 2 year old son and I can tell you honestly my son would NEVER be around people who do such things. Children need to be protected from adults who make this sort of behavior their lifestyle. I really think you should have to have a permit to have a child to protect them from stuff like this. That in itself would pretty much solve the harmful abuse and neglect suffered by children in todays world. It is a shame that people who really want kids can't have them but people such as the people in the video can have them all day long. You are not alone in how you feel I feel the same way. |

| Weight Loss | A Big Girl no more...what I won't miss. Have any to share? | Mar 15 2008 19:43 (UTC) |

I Love this post it was a great idea victoriagirl for everyone to get things off their chest. The things I don't miss the most are: 1. Feeling invisible and like nobody out in public. 2. The mean comments (I got them too). 3. The women my hubby work with thinking they are better then me because they are thinner (they aren't thinner anymore On the flip side to my number 1 is now people really make me sick. I have shopped at the same grocery store for 2 years and how many people said Hi to me before I lost my weight try barely any. Now the same people (employees) talk to me and say Hi everytime I go grocery shopping. It says a lot for the human race if you ask me, I even had one ask me out. I was thinking ewwwww (because of what I just said) but I just politely told him I was married. I am above their type of behavior!!! Oh I also wanted to tell you that I sold all of my out grown clothes on eBay so I can buy the smaller sizes that I need because I had nothing to wear for a long time. Keep up the GREAT WORK, sounds like you are doing Wonderful and Getting Creative (I Like that)!!! |

Hey Honey Right now you don't need to worry about gaining 20 lbs. You are Pregnant and 20 lbs isn't bad at all. I gained 62 lbs when I was pregnant with my son and after I had him I was able to lose 111 lbs in 10 months and I have kept it off for a year now. My all time high weight was 238 lbs (after baby) and I had a pre-pregnancy weight of 176 lbs. I am at 127 lbs now and that is the smallest I've ever been. So it is possible to lose the weight and keep it off after baby!!! You need to concentrate on keeping yourself and your baby healthy, not worry about your weight. Have you checked out any discount grocery stores? I don't know if they have them where you are but I know that there are several around here. Ask around and see if you can't find one. If there is a Save-a-Lot around you they always have low prices on everything even produce just be sure to check expiration dates and check out the produce really well. Good Luck and Don't worry about the baby weight you can lose it after you have the baby!!! |

Can I just say that what your mother did to you as far as self image goes is really horrible first off (nothing against your mother I don't know her that is just my opinion)!!! Now you are an adult and you don't need to worry about what she thinks as far as weight or self image goes. You need to worry about taking care of yourself Physically and Mentally. Everything that lilediegirl said is very good advice!!! As far as sweets go 100 Calorie packs offer and assortment of those, Wal-mart Brand has No Sugar Added Ice Cream Sandwiches for 110 Calories and only 4 Grams of sugar, Betty Crocker Mini Delights 150 Calories per cake, and Breyers Ice Cream has a New Fat Free Ice Cream Called Breyers Free. Breyers Free comes in a few different flavors Vanilla Bean 90 calories per cup, Chocolate 90 Calories per cup, and Vanilla Carmel Swirl 100 Calories per cup and it is GREAT CREAMY Ice Cream!!! You can have your sweets and eat them too just don't over do it!!! I always ate my sweets with baby spoons and still do lol  it helps you to eat slower and it is harder to over eat on sweets when using a baby spoon because you fill up faster on less. What do you normally eat for Breakfast? Do you eat Breakfast? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day if I am ever running late I always take a slim fast shake (which I keep handy just for those days) it gives my body calories that it needs plus it is packed with vitamins. If you are not running behind then try to eat a healthy Breakfast to get your day started right. I really like the Panini Idea for lunch, you can heat it up before you leave to pick your daughter up for lunch and eat it on the go!!! I really like them the Chicken Club is my personal favorite but everyone has their own faves!!! I Gotta Go for now I have a sick Baby and he is screaming!!! |

| God is Good you are going to feel the blessing of innocence in your life like you have never seen before, and sweetie the love between a mother and a child is the most perfect love ever created!!! Congratulations and Thank the God for you decision, you will be blessed. What part of Indiana are you wanting to moving to? I have family and friends in Indiana and my sisters work in health care. COBRA might be the way to go if you move but I would go to job websites and submit your resume and try to get a job there before you make any decisions then if you do find a job in Indiana you should be able to have COBRA!!! I would check into it. | |||

| I am actually looking at an American Baby Right Now while I check up on my internet affairs (cc,ebay,email,etc..) and there is this stuff called arbordoun calendula cream that they say is all natural and is supposed to help with stretch marks. I have never used it though. When I was pregnant I had bad stretch marks all over my inner legs up and down they have faded and you can barely tell that their there anymore. Really I don't think that anything ever takes them away for good, I just think they fade until their almost gone and they are barely visible. | |||
