BUT .. officially as of today's weigh in, I have lost 30 lbs since I started my diet!! I am SO happy! I have only 20 more to go to get down to my pre-twins weight, and better yet, pre-twin wardrobe!

You have failed only when you quit trying. Until then, you're still in the act of progression. So, never quit trying and you'll never be a failure. My Blog http://pixpocketlint.wordpress.com/

ndmommyof4 Joined: Nov 10 Posts: 18	quote Posted: 03 Feb 2011, 08:21 Thanks everyone! Re-reading this today I feel kinda silly bragging and asking for kudos.. but damn! 30 lbs IS alot of weight!!! My twinskies each weigh about 23 lbs, so its like losing more than one of them! Gross when I think about it! I had twins and 17 months later popped out another baby, so I was pretty much pregnant and post pardem for 2 years straight! I use that as my excuse, not that I ate whatever I felt like while I was... but those days are over now and I am much happier when I am healthier!!!

Unless you are one of those women who are just naturally/genetically thin and struggle to put on weight. But you are right that those days of reproducing are done (unless you aren't, lol) and so now's the time to get things back together. Which you seem to be doing so congrats again.

My family has a completely distorted view of weight and whats healthy and whats not. My mom is great about it but the rest...eh...we don't talk about it! And its too soon to tell about some friends...lol...I'm concerned once I reach bout 145-150 there might be, but its my body not theirs!

I copied that from someone else, and I would love it if I got one of those once I drop 30. 30 pounds is awesome ndmommyof4. I'm jealous of you in a motivational way Dieting is like religion. There are the basic rules that everyone should follow. The rest you personalize to a lifestyle for the best results. Current Size: 14/16 Goal Size: 12 Goal Date: December 31, 2012

Anything for enjoyment. I understand about family and friends- they're hard to convince sometimes but at lesat you are doing it even without their support and encouragement. Congrats!

Only two people have said anything- one being my husband who knows I'm working to exercise more and not be such a pig. Even his sorry butt couldn't give me a compliment. It was, "You were starting to get a little big around the middle for awhile there, but it's getting smaller. Even your thighs aren't fat anymore." Seriously, that's his best effort? Finally I posted I was down 15 lbs on FB and people who had no idea what I currently look like posted their kudos and I felt great. wwwtheworldofd.com

Don't worry about your friends - you are accomplishing something that many people would like to do, but they just don't have the motivation. If they are true friends, they'll come around. They might even (one by one) come ask for advice. "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and the cookies at the other end of the table." - Kingkeld.
