You know you can do it to take care of yourself and your family. I can't believe that you are saying what you are saying about your attractiveness to your husband! Really, think of how disrespectful that is to him! You don't need to be down on yourself - imagine that you are one of your own kids and having someone talk to them that way. Anyway. You will get there. I know it isn't easy but you will do it! 

I feel the same way... 

Amen! Appreciating all the crap it takes to achieve our goals is essential.  

right there with you, dropped 80, gained 85 back 

Every Monday I tell myself I'm gonna get my eating habits back under control...it's so damn difficult. Never give up.🤗🤗🤗 

super late to the party today got stuck in traffic in the middle of nowhere. go lift some heavy sh*t. you'll feel better about everything. this whole year has been yet another cluster, and I haven't through half as much as you. deep breaths, start over. focus more on the doing than the eating, the eating will follow. and if you need to go private again, do it.  

Tim said it perfectly. You've been through a lot and it happens to all of us. You have been and still are, motivating to so many of us. Don't be so hard on yourself.  

Excellent! You're ready to get back to work! Let's go, baby! #getserious #mindset #grindtime #stayhungry  

I can’t believe all the terrible things you just said about yourself😢😢😢 please take them back!!! You are ruining my Halloween🎃👻⚰️🪦 

Thank you, Eral! Thank you, Sherry! You make it look so easy! Thinking about trying to get to a normal weight and then maintain it for the rest of my life is just daunting. Tim- Thanks for your kind words. That meant a lot to me.💕I will think of this to motivate me. My eyebrows and smile are still the same- so I guess there is still that. Always real- justbananas. Marpingo, ACBelle,Fancydaisy, p$m, thanks for understanding. Shrewdness- let's do it together! I am not weighing in unless it is a loss. Thanks, anees. Jean Zachary- that's what I want to get back to. Thank you very much. I want to inspire others again and lately I am a mess. Thank you, Kingskid. You're right. Melissa. I just have to stick with it for an extended period of time and not be so easily derailed. Brenda.nana,Larilyn, Kenna, JCordy- thanks. Thanks for thinking that, Rguarino. I wish I felt that way. RN, church mouse, esmithwindows- Thank you. Diana- I believe it, too. I know in my heart that I will- but it is just upsetting to have lost so much of my progress. Abbadabba- IDK what he thinks about my attractiveness but what I think about myself affects everything. jduester- good luck to you. Thank you, Adaoke. You are so inspirational! kptres- I think abba means well though I am not sure exactly what she means. Sapphire Gemini- I have done that before and it has made my skin even more loose. I need to stop no before I gain anymore. Letty- unsure if you have gained but you always look fit and everyone loves your zumba. If I had any rhythm at all, I may give it a whirl. ha.  

Kat- Fritzy- jimmie- I am glad to know you all on here and I appreciate your support and encouragement. Thank you, Petra! I see how far you have come and it motivates me to keep going. All that you do you keep in mind your #56 and you come out stronger.💙 I'm sorry yfritz! I hope you have a great Halloween! I can't take it back. I look like a fat cow. My clothes don't fit. Just terrible. And I am frugal so I really can't allow myself to buy more. Not at this size.  

Kenna Morton I like what you posted. I will keep that in mind. 

DP you are brave acknowledge, forgive, and focus on a plan. Let’s do this thing 💪🏼be strong 

Princess, you have posted the words that reflect the thoughts that so many of us have had so many times in our lives. I bet I am not the only one who read your entry and thought YES, I know exactly how she feels. But here we all are because we are all trying to do better with our eating, activity, just plain living and coping with all that life throws at us. None of us are perfect, and life is not easy, but we are TRYING to do better. Listen to what Tim wrote - it was the heartfelt truth! We all love you. Hoping and praying for your courage going forward. 

It’ll come off 

Thanks, XryRN! Thanks, Brenda! Like I wrote on Fritzy's- I realized just a bit ago that tomorrow is both a Monday and a 1st of the month- new starts all around! Thnks, Mermee! Yes, Brianouthouse! It will!  

Girl, I don’t know what to say. I can’t sugarcoat anything just like you don’t. Get to work. Lift heavy stuff and count CICO. It’s not complicated. You know what to do so do it. Now for someone who didn’t know what to say, I’ve said a lot. Here to help in any way I can. You told me you’d disappear if you went over 200. Glad you stayed around but I encourage you to put your foot down or it’ll keep going up and I know that’s not what you want. So, Do you want the food more or the scale to stop rising? You have to ask yourself these hard questions and decide what you’re going to do about it. I’m probably coming across as harsh and non-supportive but I can’t support things you’re doing right now that you don’t like because I know you hate yourself. And you’re headed somewhere that’s not good. I saw this post last night and passed on cause I thought I should keep my mouth shut, this morning it’s wide open. 😜 Delete this if you want. Just my ramblings. You know I love ya!! 🥰❤️🙏 

You didn't say anything offensive to me. I am with you 100%. I weighed in, remeasured (and it is terrible) and I am having my coffee. Taking the kids to school and going to the gym. I have to work overnight tonight and that really screws me up but I am going to have to figure it out. I am not disappearing but I do need to post my weight on my other account privately and I will start putting it here when it is a loss. Pray for me, please, Wifey. It isn't complicated- you're right. It is simple, but not easy- if that makes sense. It used to be easy for me- suddenly I am all messed up again. Oh well. Today is a new day. Last week was bad but the week before I made it to the gym almost every day. Just have to keep doing it. How's your B-I-L today? 

I'm with you @davidsprincess. It's so discouraging to see the toll that the pandemic took on our efforts. I feel the un-sexiness feelings so hard right now too. Halloween is usually my favorite and this year it was a bust. I hope you feel better soon. We can get back on track!  

😘 BIL is having a zillion tests. Waiting to hear more and I’ll update as soon as I know. It’s not looking good. He seizured as well and is very confused and keeps asking where he is and why every few minutes. 😓
