That's great that you're losing weight! It is so hard. I want to lose a lot of weight, but I lack self-control.

Amber C. Jan 20, 2013, 7:56pm UTC

So do I. I finally told myself nothing is going to change unless I make it.

We feed the people we love, and your dad loves you. congrats on the five.

Oh my grandma is bad. My grandpa was a couple months away from needing his legs amputated because of diabetes and she gave him 4 different kinds of pie one Christmas. It's a "good" thing he passed on because he was going to lose his legs. The last time she watched my mom for my dad, she came home 3 days later 10 pounds heavier.

Best of luck with that, I've decided on a seefood diet.

Amber C. Jan 20, 2013, 7:56pm UTC

See the food, eat the food? I would love to belong to that group. But darn it if I want to make some changes I'm going to have to convert.

I just gave up is all, I figured I'd rather just go with the flow.

Amber C. Jan 21, 2013, 6:48am UTC

My self-esteem is so low I figured I had to do something.

M L M. Jan 21, 2013, 6:48pm UTC

Oh, thats not good. I never let my self esteem suffer no matter what, it took way to long to find it. When I failed with Atkins Diet I decided it wasn't worth the health risks, so I opted to start eating healthier ... I can't say I've actually lost much, but on the plus side I haven't gained either and I haven't been catching all those flus and other colds I used to. I spend a lot of time reading about whole foods and how to eat so I stay healthy. I'm 63 and have only been doing this for a year so I'm not expecting to lose that much so soon anyway, but its nice to be healthy, for me thats a major plus.

Talk to him about this, and stay strong! Good loss!!!

Amber C. Jan 20, 2013, 7:55pm UTC

Yeah, you are right. And I can talk to him about it. Because he notices my grandma doing that all the time.

Give it to a friend or neighbor?
Congrats on the 5 lbs! I don't have a scale so I have no idea how much I've lost though I feel like I lost a little bit too. Most of my clothes are fitting better where as they used to be tight. I might have lost another 5 lbs myself. This week I've been bad. I think my monthly is coming so I'm tired, lazy, and want to do nothing but eat all the time!

Amber C. Jan 20, 2013, 7:29pm UTC

I know waht you mean about the monthly thing.

I use the scale at my parent's house.

Congrats on your weight loss.. i was bad over weight a year ago but I lost 57 lbs which put me down to 150.. i sure feel a lot better.

Truth Always Jan 20, 2013, 12:58pm UTC

How did you lose so much Betty? Any tips on this for us? Congrats on the loss... Yes, we do feel better when we shed some unwanted pounds...

Betty S. Jan 20, 2013, 5:01pm UTC

For one thing I went through two years of major depression where I just didn't want to eat plus the fact that as we age our appetites changes. The foods we once loved gets to were it it doesn't appeal to us as much.. Once I got used to eating less I have maintained that habit.

Amber C. Jan 20, 2013, 7:30pm UTC

Good for you on the weight loss. My sister lost 165. She was really big and they told her if she wanted to have a baby she needed to lose the weight. So she went to 1,000 calories a day and exercised every day but Sunday. And she's kept it off. But no baby. : ( They did adopt though.

Betty S. Jan 20, 2013, 7:50pm UTC

This is great that your Sister lost this weight and even that she adopted. I have know couples who adopted then ended up having a baby themselves. i think adoption is beautiful.. we adopted triplets at birth and recently a new born baby boy..

Amber C. Jan 20, 2013, 7:55pm UTC

That is SO cool! Yes, I have a friend who over the last five years have adopted two children (3 really, but one birth mom took the child back). After they adopted the last one, literally two days after she found out she was pregnant.
