I presently a stay at home Mom who has her second and last child going off to college. I need to get back to work. My professionalism is a License Interior Designer, but I am thinking of changing careers. I don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

I have gain with in the past 4 to 5 years 60 lbs. I orginally had to loose 20 lbs, now I have to loose 75 to 80 pounds. I am the heaviest I have ever been, even more than when I was pregnant.

I hide the weight well.

I am active in the community. Volunteer at the local hospital, church, missions, food pantry and when a friend is in need.

I have two fantastic children 20 and 17 years old and a wonderful husband. We live in Sunny Florida in the Tampa Bay area. I am a Gator Mom (UF) and soon to be also a Knight Mom (UCF). I am artistically talented and love to help others. My faith is strong, but I am hard on myself. I want a quick fix. I dislike to exercise but I realize that is the most important thing I have to do. So, here I go.....

I am having a hard time.
I am having a hard time getting focus and working on this. I am so mad at myself, I should have been at my goal by now. I don't get hungry until late at night.

Any body have any supplements that will help kick start this? Any suggestions?

I am back
I have been away from this for awhile and I still don't like the way I look. I am still carrying 50 pounds too much. Moved my daughter into her dorm room and was embarrassed on how much I sweated. I want to look good, even though neither of my children seem to be embarrassed about how their mom looks. For myself, my husband and family. I need also for health reasons. So, I am physicked to get it done but also mad at myself for wasting the past 4 years and not doing anything about it. Look out world a new me and a closet of new clothes is about to come true. Razz

Giannina, have you decided what you are going to do for an eating plan? You said in your post yesterday that you don't eat much,but that it is more to do with timing. Does that mean most of the calories are ingested in the evening? You stay strong and stay focused on doing what is best for you today.You can do this! And reach your goal weight!!!! I will try to check back tonight after work.

I have an issue today. I made up my mind that I can do this without having ANYTHING EXTRA to nibble on (nice word for cheating LOL) for the next 30 days. I have 29 more days to go, because day 30 I did exactly what I was supposed to do!!! YAY!!!! I have to have a "lunch break" at 7 pm tonight with the plant manager. There is no choices offered for foods and the Company's idea of "lunch" is going to be either pizza or sub sandwiches. It is mandatory so I can't decline. I think I am going to take my shake in the breakroom at 6 pm and drink a bottle of water during the so called "LUNCH". I am also concerned with how I am going to get enough sleep the next couple of months since lack of sleep can impede weight loss. Somehow I have to make taking care of my granson and this hectic schedule work hopefully for the best.

Gerbod and Ginger how are you doing today? Stay strong and focus on yourself and what is best for you. You can do this!!! AND reach your goals. Ginger what is your plan? Smile Very Happy


Most of my eating is done after 9 pm. That is my problem. Well, not the only one. But that is a different kind of therapy. LOLLaughing

I will be glad to give you support. I need to lose alot of weight and anything that keeps me focused is a great help. Smile


Count me in too. I feel that all of this helps. I have a request, can you all give me an idea where you live, just the state, don't have to give the town. I think it is neat to know how we are helping each other and have friends all over. I live in Florida, in the Tampa Bay area. HOT!
