I love to weigh every day, mrtc! :D I have for years, and it really doesn't bother me if the scale doesn't move in the direction I prefer all the time. I started getting on the scale every day about a decade ago as a way of desensitizing myself to it (sort of like CBT!). I used to be afraid of...

Just dropping in to welcome both of you gals! I'm new, too. :D :heartpump: Mandy

Hi PT, and welcome!! I love your username! :p :heartpump: Mandy

You're welcome, sweet girl. :hug99: :heartpump: Mandy

I'm really sorry, Amy. :( We all have one area or another in our lives where we struggle and hurt more than in other areas. It's true for everyone. Having PCOS and having trouble conceiving must be so terribly painful, my friend. :bighug: Do try to remember the areas of your life that...

Hi, Ruth! Agreeing with Forever Starting Over. Try to shake up your routine for excitement and renewed interest. Dieting and watching the scales move downward slowly can get really boring over time. Do whatever it takes to liven your process up as often as necessary. Bringing new people...

Wow! Awesome answer! :happy036: :heartpump: Mandy

Welcome, Tracy! :D I'm new to the site, too, so I'm just finding my way around here, myself. I don't have any good diet suggestions. I hope you find a good one that works for you. :) Congratulations on TTC again soon. I pray you get your third baby with more ease than expected...

I'm new, too, but wanted to drop by to say congratulations on your new marriage! Your pics are gorgeous! And I love your wedding colors (red, black and white). Also, your tummy tuck pics are amazing! You look incredible. :D Blessings in your new life with your husband. :love047...

You're an inspiration, Molly! It's wonderful that you've been able to maintain your weight loss for over a year. Thank you for sharing your story! :heartpump: Mandy

Hi, Smurfette! :hug99: I'm new here. Today's my first day. I have a closet full of small clothes, too, and just gained a ton of weight in the last year or so. :sigh: As of today, I weigh 174.6. I don't know what that is in stones... All I know is that I'm very unhappy about it. :cry...

Maybe you need a general pick-me-up, not just a diet related reward. What cheers you up? :) Talking with a friend on the phone? Going out and doing something fun? How about coming up with a creative project? I think we do better and achieve more when we're feeling cheery and positive in...

Thank you, mrtc! Last night was fun, and today is my first day of eating well since gaining weight in the last year. It's only mid afternoon, but no problems so far. :D Thanks again! :heartpump: Mandy

Hi, everyone. Today's my first day here and my first day of getting back to normal. A little about me: I *used* to weigh between 125 lbs and 133. That was my *norm*, which is a pretty good weight range for me. I'm 5'5 and have 4 kids. I maintained that weight range for years, and then...

Welcome, Blythe! Today's my first day here, too, and my first day of getting back to healthy. :553: :heartpump: Mandy

I can't say I have a real favorite, but fast food has been my downfall. It's just so easy! I'm just getting back to healthy eating today, but last night, I went out with my son and we each had a Burger King whopper meal (large sized). That would be a normal meal for me. I also LOVE...

I've heard that one reason for bad breath when dieting is dehydration. Even if you're drinking a ton of fluids, your body is losing A LOT of water, which dries your mouth out. I hear it should get better over time, as your body chemistry adjusts and rebalances itself. :) :heartpump...

Hi, E, thank you for replying! :D My plan is to return to (what used to be) my normal healthy, balanced eating. I don't like sweets much, but I've been eating way too many fatty foods and too many calories. Hubby and I have gone out to eat so much during our incredibly stressful season...

My feet become slimmer when I lose weight, but not shorter. I notice that when I lose 10 or so pounds, my shoes start 'slipping' more. I do have naturally narrow feet, even when I'm overweight. On another note; my feet did become longer after having 4 kids (resulting in my shoe size going up...

Of course, my number one reason is to look and feel better, just like everyone else. My second is that my weight gain has been in the last year, and I've refused to buy ANY new clothes. I have nothing to wear! LOL! I have only a few larger shirts/sweaters, but my whole closet is small...

Hi everyone, my name is Mandy, and I'm so glad I found you guys! :D I'm going to level with you. I've gained 44.6 pounds in the last year and a half! Before my rapid weight gain, I weighed around 130 (I'm 5'5), and as of this morning, I weigh 174.6! :eek: What brought on this extreme...
