Hi, MustLoseWeight! I was a teacher right out of college and lasted less than a year. I had a breakdown, too. Also, I'm on antidepress. med now, and I have gained 11 pounds on it. Good luck to you! As someone told me once concerning depression....just do it. Just get up. Just make your bed, etc. So,...

It's been a week since I've posted anything. Last Friday morning, I weighed myself and had lost 1.2 pounds after only 4 days of No S! I was so excited. Hopeful that Ihad finally found something I could do. I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I weighed myself again Saturday morning. I weighed 191....

Day 5 success. . I'm hungry now and would love to snack, but gonna stay strong. At least I get to have a glass of milk later. :) Took my mom shopping and she wanted me to take her through Starbucks for a frappucino, and I only got a water for myself!!! I wasn't even tempted. I used the shovelglove t...

Day 4. Success . Just barely. I'm struggling today. I didn't work, so I was home and doing a lot of housework, so I was really hungry. Plus work called, which always stresses me out. It's my day off...I don't want to know how overloaded I am going to be tomorrow!!! I'm a stress eater, for sure. Want...

Thank you for sharing! What the dentist said is very enlightening. And, please, don't feel like a bad mom! My cousin's little boy is going through this same thing right now with his teeth. Like the dentist said, hidden sugars and a culture of snacking is affecting everyone. You're not alone.

Day 3 was a success ! Bumped up the shovelglove to 6 minutes....working my way up slowly because I am so out of shape! I can't believe how quickly I can feel my habits changing. I got home from the hospital this evening, and didn't even think about snacking before dinner! That's a huge success for m...

Day 2. Successful! NO snacks! Did 5 minutes with my shovelglove this morning and walked the dog after work. I was starving but made myself wait until dinner to eat. Forgot to record my starting wait yesterday...191.0. According to the BMI chart, I am too short. It says the highest I can weigh and be...

Today is Day 1.... did 5 minutes with the shovelglove this morning, and loved it! I've had 3 meals today, no snacks! I didn't realize how much of a snacker I am. I am used to snacking from the time I get home until dinner, and just now I was thinking, hmmmm we could go get some ice cream. My night t...

My name is Tracy. I am 37, happily married, mom to an 18 month old little boy. I have been on diets since elementary school when my mom noticed I was getting chunky and wouldn't let me eat sweets for a few weeks. She had to order my jeans for school from the Sears "Pretty Plus" collection. I have ga...
