That's wonderful! Keep it up and you'll be where you need to be in no time. I was doing pretty good and I'd lost about 45 pounds, but I had to be more careful when I was pregnant. I gained 21 pounds. Now that he's here, I can start back on my "diet".  |

That's awesome! I've been gaining weight steadily for 5 years, and I really wish I could do what you do. I went from 160-180 which isn't that bad, but I wish I was 140ish. You're so lucky your main reason is food. SO LUCKY!! With me, I do everything right: lots of small meals, they're healthy and balanced, but I don't lose any weight. I need to exercise but that isn't happening. lol I'm really proud of you and if you ever need any support, just message me and I'll do my best to give some words of encouragement...I'm good at that, even if I can't encourage myself to get on that stationary bike, or walk at the park RIGHT next to my house. hehe. <3  |

Thank you all Sunflowerchica, I've cut a lot of starchy foods out of my diet. I still love my pasta, but I don't eat a whole plate full of it anymore. And I've cut out refined sugar, the only place I still have it is in my iced tea because I can't afford/can't stand the sugar alternatives such as Splenda. When I see that I've lost a good deal of weight, I'll allow myself one regular size Hershey Bar (eaten over several days) or a bowl of vanilla ice cream. I'm hoping I can find motivation to start going to the gym where I have been paying for 6-8 months and actually start using the services, then that will really take the weight off. I walk a lot, but not on purpose! LOL I don't do treadmills easily or stairsteppers, but I walk all over the park during baseball season and during the summer. I walk back and forth to my mom's house instead of driving, I walk to the truck stop near my house, I walk everywhere I can! I've noticed the biggest difference in my knees and hips. When I was at my highest, my knees hurt ALL the time (I had left knee surgery years ago), and my ankles would swell grossly due to fluid retention. Since dropping the weight, my ankles no longer swell and my knees don't hurt. I can actually sit Indian style in my computer chair again comfortably! It's all about making small goals. I only let myself make goals of 10 lbs at a time rather than groaning and saying "Oh God, I have SIXTY more pounds to lose." My next goal is to get to 190, and I ignore "the big picture." It's MUCH easier this way and you find that you reach those small goals faster and feel rewarded and happier that much sooner. It really does work! I tried Atkins and Zone and South Beach and was just miserable. I realized I don't need someone to tell me how to eat, I just need to learn for myself what healthy food choices to make and go for it! I eat lots of raw cauliflower and low-fat ranch dressing, and that keeps me full for hours! I also eat a lot of fruit, which is good for speeding up the metabolism. I could just go on and on...heh thanks so much again for all the support and I promise to get those pics up soon! *hugs and love* Melissa  |
