BBs are never alone. All for one & one for all!

Which insurance company? I'll get my gun!!!

Ok, you are going to have to give attachment lessons!!!!

I am so glad to see I am not alone here. Don't let the G&S police get you, come hang with me..... I've got a gun!

I am so proud of you & I know your grandmother is proud too. She is watching you transform your life into a happy health life. Bless you & keep it up!

Remeber the weight you have lost.... Remeber what you have on your profile and I quote: Now that there is less of me other people notice me more!

That candy is going to take that away from you......is it worth it?

Yes it will taste good, but that taste will last 10 seconds. people noticing you will last a lifetime. Make me think of the MasterCard commercial. Price of candy $$$, price of people noticing me PRICELESS!!!

Stupid is what stupid does.

oooo hun you know i know what your going through ...i am with my 11 yr old also....

update on him....he is making way better choices....and slowing down some....I make him wait 20 mins when he wants a snack...and if he still wants it after that he can have it....He is proud of what he is doing....sad face he is in a full leg cast due to football so thats hampering his exersizing.....

So Princess you are planting the seeds and helping them grow.....even if she doesnt fallow now she will hopefully some day.....hugs its hard....

Seeds are planted, her father & I are here to help every way we can. It just breaks my heart.

Glad your 11yr old is improving.

Just checked the status of my new scale and it's NOT SHIPPED yet. Feeling a little panic setting in....

I was exzactly as you said as a girl "big boned". And it is true my bone structure for a female is on the larger size. I also have an endocrine disorder called PCOS. I've had it my whole life according to the Reproductive Endocrinologist who dinagnosed me at 28 years of age with the disorder when my husband and I went to boston ivf for a diagnostic as to why we where having trouble with conception.

My relationship with food before the diagnosis was an awful one. When i was her age that is when the trouble started, no matter what I ate it was never enough and I was always hungery dispite eating healthy meals. I also at twelve started my cycle and things just went south from there. I gained weight dispite diet exercise and eating healthy meals. Part of it is the blood suggar spikes that are happening within the body if these go un controlled the weight gain for her is never going to cease.

Can you talk to her about how she feels when she eats, for me when I don't eat after a very long time say waking in the am I don't get a hungery signal and I feel sick to my stomach. But when i do finally eat that is where the ravenous hunger would start and from breakefast till dinner it semed the hunger never went away. unchecked high suggars can lead to cardiac problems and even blindness and problems with cirrculation and limb loss. Does she have an incidence of type II diabetis in her family? Did her mom have gestational diabetis while pregnant with any of her offspring? Also is she developing male hair growth(the legs will show dark hair first it hten progresses to the armpits and unfortunately the face and other areas are often covered with hair).

The pcos can also lead to dysufunctional and painful periods due to fibroid formation within the uterus.

I can understand your concern for your step daughter. She may want some help but might be to intemidated by her mom's poor reflection of you as a step parent. Can you talk to your spouse about it and just say you are worried for your s. daughter's health? I know this is a hard time for her as a teen and she might not realize it now but you are only trying to help her.

Thanks for the reply. My husband and I have discussed her eating habits. He has tried to talk with her but she gets very defensive. She knows all about my weight loss journey, I'm an open book about it in hopes that if she wants help she knows I'm right here for her.

For now that is all I can do.

Thanks everyone. I know I'm doing right, it's just sad to see. She is 5'8", size 12, and is starting to get a stomach on her (not sure what she weights). She is what my mom would call 'big boned'......

Nail salon serves wine......sign me up!!!

Don't give up on Lobster!!! It might have been the way it was cooked, the loberst itself, or just your band for the day. I can eat anything most days but occationaly I will have something not work well with my band at that moment. The next time, no problem. The band likes to keep us guessing!

I just realized that you can see my booboo on my pinky. That's what happens when I use my teeth as scissors.

No tips here... funny thing, I hit 40 and my nails became rock strong..... go figure.
