I haven't been around either, Dee!  We can change all of that though~  We all worked it out with each other, and maybe that's what's been missing for each of us~

Good to see you~!!!!!!!

God be with you!

HAHAHAH...   my diet was not only UNSUPERVISED, but AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE!    I stopped taking my insulin one day- and stopped eating carbs the same day.

The insurance company wants 6 consecutive months of weigh ins, etc.  I can't do that with my primary since he's in Florida.  I go down every 4 - 6 months, but my old bones can't handle the 10 hour ride once a month.

I'm so NOT looking forward to surgery.  If I could get my butt in gear, I can get back on my do. Maybe what I was missing was the support I got from everyone here.

Remember the guy who broke it off with me because he said I was too big (at about 205).. well lol, we've been living together for the last 2.5 years and I'm back up to 240 - and he doesn't complain.  I don't want to seem like I'm putting any of my complacency on HIM, but I gotta tell ya - when I was seeking someone's approval, it made me work it!  He says he never knew what being happy was until me - big butt and all.  Unfortunately, he keeps telling me he LIKES my big butt!!!!  He did a complete about face, which made me not care as much about taking care of myself.  I go on a diet spurt - and he says "don't lose too much weight, I don't want you skinny",.. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh    but *I* want to be SKINNY~~~~!!!!

He keeps saying I've gained weight because I'm happy - then pats himself on the back for making me happy!  LOLOLOL    Frankly, I think I've gained weight because I EAT!  I baked and ate my weight in cookies from November to January.. now I'm paying for it~

ah well... let's see what today will bring~

God bless all of you~~

Beeeeeeeeeeeeethy!

Ok.. I gotta get on it too... get back to getting here and being HERE~ 

I just started my required 6 month medically supervised diet.  By the grace of God, I'll lose weight and not qualify for the surgery.  I'm just under the qualifying BMI, but the diabetes brings me in (but I'm not thrilled about recovering from a surgery).. lol  <-- chiiiiiiiiiicken

WE ALL found a lot of support here back then... and the accountability helped keep us all on our do.  When David came into my life full time, I found it very difficult to spend time here~~  it was alllllllllll  David~  up at 4:00am to make his breakfast, pack his lunch, clean the house, do the laundry.  Eventually I gave up on the gym, tanning, LIVING~ 

I miss everyone here~

LET'S ALL GET BACK ON OUR DO~~

Not sure if you are familiar on facebook or not, but I wanted so badly to find the "like" button to your post!

Tonight was a little tougher.  Have the munchies pretty bad.  Actually, it started with all those darn commercials on tv!  They all look so good!lol  But I made it, I won another small little victory so I'm happy.  :)

Thanks for the compliment!  You know, I keep telling myself it IS all or never.   Just made me realize it with not only my trip, but I am in my early forties.  The years just keep going by so quickly, if I don't start now there will be NO tomorrow!

Vacations though are definitely good boosts.hehe

yayy i'm not alone.haha  well for me i'm just plain ol' calorie counting for right now.  i MIGHT possibly change that, but i have a feeling i'll be staying with it.  it's simple, although a pain in the butt.  at least i can still have whatever i want.  as for exercise..i haven't started yet.  i have a wii, so i have the zumba and the dance one, treadmill, and stationary bike.  that will all be what i'm doing.  my weight is taking a toll on my hip lately i think and its making it hurt to do anything.  yesterday i just actually cleaned my house and i suffered through it and by the time i was sitting my hip was throbbing.  i'm sure once i get some more weight off of me it will be easier.  tomorrow though i WILL be doing one thing or another.

i'm feeling quite good about this!  haven't felt this good in a while actually.  always very depressed about it all.  think when i looked at the calendar and realized how many weeks i have blown away, it finally hit me that i need to do this now or never.  got on the scale this morning even though i told myself i wasn't going too, and already looking up. :)

so when is the big day in October? hehe  Birthdays are good ones!  have you already been losing weight?

I just love how positive you are sounding today! That really made me smile. I'm in the same place right now as well. I just started last week, I'm feeling better, and my mood is very positive. I guess it's good to start out this way because you and I both know how there are ups and downs in the whole process. Very proud of ya for starting this and for being so honest when you said "now or never." Gosh.. I just feel the exact same way!

I ladies! I was on here back in 2008! I loved coming to this site for support. I did great in 2007 and 2008. I had lost 55 pounds. I reached my goal in losing weight to have a baby. I got pregnant early 2009 and had her in the fall. She was off and on very sick her first year. She is doing really well now and I feel like I can emotionally get back into the dieting game!

I got on here for the first time since early 2009 seeking support!! I really need it this time. I hope some of you great ladies will stick around this year. Let's all get back at it. Why not!?! We all did it before- let's support each other again!
