Hi girls. I'm sorry I keep going missing. One of the main reasons why I am not here alot and why I am having trouble staying on this diet is my mom. Remember when I said she was in the hospital? Well she has been struggling with Leukemia since April. She's been in and out of the hospital since then. It has been a total of 150 days. On Oct 27 she had a bone marrow transplant. She has been home since earlier this month. My Dad recently fell and hurt his knee. So I am responsible for taking care of both of them. He's getting alittle better but she needs constant care. Besides all this, my job is NUTS. I really want to lose the weight. I like this plan. I bought more slim fast. I do it during the day, but dinner is my downfall. The really huge reason now that I need to lose weight is..... I'M ENGAGED!!!!!! My boyfriend proposed on Thanksgiving morning! I am so excited. So now I have to lose weight. I am not going to be a fat bride. BTW hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I obviously did! Both my parents were crying they were so happy! Oh, I weighed last Friday. Stayed the same, 309. I did NOT weigh yesterday. Too much food. I will weigh next Friday. I promise. I am here girls. I am not quitting. Just please be patient if I go missing again. Which I probably will.

Hi guys. I'm sorry I went missing again. But I should have let you all know that I was going away this past weekend for my bf's birthday. We left on Friday and came back last night. I went to Chicago/Indiana. And yes, I ate and ate and ate. We went to Ruth Chris' Steakhouse on Sunday night. Porterhouse for two, fried calamari, banana cream pie...OK I'll stop. But you get the point. I actually, somehow, managed to get on the scale this morning to face the music. I'm back at 311. Oh BTW I didn't weigh on Friday. I'm not even going to sugar coat this weekend. I was bad. I really need to find an inner strength and get back on this plan. It is sooo easy to fall off. Today I have been good and I plan to be good for dinner. I want to weigh in on Friday and see where that puts me. I just want to say that you girls are the BEST for checking up on me. I thank god everyday for this community. We all need to support eachother.

Ok I weighed myself this morning and it's 308.5. That's a 3 pound weight GAIN! Why is it soooo easy to gain 3.5 pounds with a blink of an eye and you have to struggle to drop ONE!? The annoying part is I know I was bad. I was bloated all week, craving everything, late nights at the hospital, eating WAY too much candy. But the thing is I was good everyday during the day and I didn't eat cheeseburgers and fries everynight? Why is it that at my size of being ginormous , I have to be perfect to lose anything? I feel like I let everyone down here plus myself. I took big steps forward and now I'm back to where I was a few weeks ago. During the week, right before that moment when you put that piece of candy in your mouth, you feel like "oh well, what's one piece of candy going to do, and plus I don't care. I want it!" Then when you get on the scale is like WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? Needless to say I'm pretty bummed. But what can I do? I can't go backwards and change what I ate. I have to go forward and try, no WILL do better. My other option would be 400 pounds and I don't like that option very much. Oh LORD why does food that's bad for you TASTE SO GOOD!!!!

I'm still here guys. I haven't quit or anything like that. This week has been crazy. My mother is in the hospital, work stuff, bf stuff. Plus on top of that I realized that I never posted the weigh in from LAST week! I gained a 1/2 pound. Probably the McDonalds. Now on top of everything else, another weigh in is tomorrow and it's been that time of the month this whole week. Since it's close to Halloween, all I'm getting at work is candy! How do I resist you Kit Kat? My favorite candy. UGH! Even though they are the fun size, I've lost count at how many I've eaten! I'm scared to go on the scale tomorrow. I'm fine during the day, drinking the shakes, being really good at lunch but then some dinners are crazy due to being in the hospital with my mom. Food from the cafeteria, Tuesday night (well 11:00pm) I had breakfast at the diner, french toast! I have to get back on track with dinner. That's my down fall. Plus I still have yet to get to the gym and with my period my back is KILLING me!

I've been alittle MIA lately. This whole weekend I was sick and stayed home from work on Monday. I'm on anti-biotics. Monday I ate McDonalds. ugh, why is it so good??? Today is 1 month on the diet. Still going strong and still liking the shakes. That's a surprise. I honestly have no idea how the weigh in will go on Friday. I'm mad about that, but I know I have to keep trucking along and not give up. Can't turn back, I've invested way to much into this.

Today was my weigh in. I am 305. 2 lbs lost this week with a total of 10. I'm very very pleased. I am shocked about how easy and enjoyable this diet is. I am not miserable, I'm not depriving myself of anything. I am making better choices and controlling myself more. I look at choices on the menu and make a concious decision about what to eat now. I really like the slim fast ready to drink shakes. I just hope I can stick to this for a while and reach higher numbers. This community is really something. I love reading the success and the not - so success stories because it shows me that we are all alike and all human. And when I see fellow "normal" women lose weight on this, it really inspires me to stick to this. A lot different then women who are on infomercials who say they lost weight but were never heavy to begin with! I hope everyone has a great great weekend!!! P.S. I'm sick. I have a cold. Throat hurts, congestion, coughing, sneezing..UGH Thank god I passed up the tickets to the games this weekend. All the cold weather and rain. No thanks!

Hello All! How is everyone doing? WW string cheese is so good. It's only 50 calories per piece. I am searching for new snack ideas. Pineapple and cottage cheese got played out. Friday night I hung out with my best friend and she saw me drinking the slim fast shake. She has a weight problem also. No matter what, I am always about 50 - 60 lbs heavier then her. If she reaches my weight, then she's in trouble. So she says to me, "you're on that now? do you like it, does it work?" I said that I've lost 8 pounds already and I do like it. The plan is different now and there's a great website for it. Her Mom doesn't have a weight problem so she is constantly telling her to lose weight and she said to do Slim fast. My friend said no, it doesn't work. I don't know if she'll try it. I'm thinking she'll wait to see if I lose more. I told her how big I got and she couldnt believe it. She said no way do you look over 300lbs, you carry it well. LOL I love that line. I said I guess it's because I'm fat all over. My biggest motivation right now, as shallow as it sounds, is clothes. I'm so sick of having a closet full of clothes that don't fit. I want the clothes to fit. So badly.

Hey gang- I am sorry to report that I only lost 1 pound. I know that is a good thing, atleast I lost, yada yada yada, but I wanted more. Atleast I lost something because I know why I didn't lose more. Glad it's not a gain. However, I have to get back to the gym. So now its a total of 8 pounds. I'm 307. Here's a funny story. I went to the doctors yesterday for my physical and I dont know about everybody here but I dread getting on that scale. You always think oh god that scale is going to make me even heavier & bum me out. I always made excuses for not getting on it. But I went on it yesterday and the nurse weighs me and I almost started laughing. The scale said I weighed 274 . HAHAHAHAH yea ok. I was like, yep that's my weight. But now I don't fear that scale anymore. Ok guys, hope everyone had a great week & will have a great weekend :)

Hi all! Hope everyone had a good day. Sorry I didn't post earlier. I was so swamped at work I couldn't even go on during my lunch break! Anyway, I weighed myself, 3 lbs lost! So thats a total of 7. Monday will be two weeks. I am 308. I'm pleased. Confession time. I did good during the day, actually came in way under my calories but since I left work at 9 pm, my bf and I went to the diner & I ordered a burger. Now I didn't eat the whole thing and i ate a handful of fries. It was really good. I haven't had one in about a month. But tomorrow I am going to stay on plan as well as Sunday. I know I have a week to get rid of the burger. I'm not going to stress over it. It was good and it's gone.

Hello gang. I have to say that this community is awesome. I truly feel that it is helping me stay on track. When I go to eat at a restaurant or have a chance to cheat, I think to myself WHAT WOULD THE GIRLS THINK!? This is making me be accountable for my actions. The other night I made the spinach & almond topped chicken & golden parmesean potatoes from the slim fast recipes. Seriously, so delish. Very easy to make. Tonight I'm making the fajitas with ground turkey. Of all the great things that will happen when I lose the weight, I am really excited about being about to wear cuter shoes and not have them "lean". Am I the only one who has the shoe problem where because of my weight, my shoes lean to the side. Shoes need to be thrown out faster & I have to wear comfortable shoes that are not that cute. I will keep everyone updated on my bf situation. I'm trying to get him to buy to slim fast drinks and snack on them. He is always starving. If he drinks those he could curb his appetite and not eat 2 steaks. Friday is weigh in day. I'm always nervous about weigh in day. Especially the day and particulary the night before. I'm always worried I'm going to sabotage myself the night before I get on the scale. Ughh

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA this past weekend. My boyfriend & I got a kitten! She is only 10 weeks old and shes adorable! So we were wrapped up with her all weekend. For anyone that doesn't know, my bf is a bad eater & needs to lose weight as well. That's something I'm trying to do, baby steps with him. He actually asked me how the slim fast shakes taste, so maybe he's alittle interested. Anyway, I was with him all weekend & Friday night we ordered Chinese. He had general tsos chicken & pork fried rice, I had steamed chicken with veggies & brown rice. So I was proud of myself for that. All saturday I was good. Yesterday was so - so. I went to a baseball game & had a hotdog & some popcorn & last night we went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. With usually means the bloomin onion. But I stayed strong & told him he couldn't have it either! LOL. He had wings & I did have 2. But I order the grilled chicken with veggies. As for today I am back on track & fully motivated. I have a stack of literally 15 pairs of jeans that range in sizes 20, 22, 24. I am a 26/28. I want in to those jeans! It would increase my wardrobe. I weigh in on Friday. That's my day now. My mini goal is 299. I'm 311.

It just dawned on me that I need to lose a whole person. I have to lose 130 - 150 lbs!! There are girls that dont even weigh that.

Ok wow, so things arise all the time that can get out of control. I'm sitting at my desk thinking about lunch, knowing exactly what I'm going eat and then I get invited out to lunch. Uh - oh. But I was really good & plus it's easy to be good when everyone else orders a salad. Sucks being the only fat girl. I had tilapia & scallops, no sauce, just pan seared, hoping very little oil. It wasnt wet so thats a good thing. And I had steamed veggies. No bread & seltzer with lemon. Its tough having will power! I hope it pays off :/

Hello everyone. Day 4 is going good. Last night I made the Turkey burgers from the slim fast recipe. They were awesome. So was the mayo-basil-pepper sauce. I also attempted to take my measurements but the numbers were depressing me so I stopped, lol. Some days I'm hungrier then others. It's weird. Today is my dad's birthday and I'm really happy because my parents are doing it with me so we are having roast chicken, brocoli & carrots. I'm having whole wheat cous cous (which is really good.) And for the birthday cake, which usually spells DOOM, I am making a WW cake which is very low in points so I plan to have a little piece. I'm glad becaue we usually go out to dinner. Weigh in is tomorrow morning. I'm crossing my fingers!
