TMI if any men read this post... but if I don't start my period soon I'm gonna start hurting people... I always gain some weight but I'm only up a pound, so after I start, I'll probably drop a couple. But the PMS is killing me (well, making we want to kill my kids and dogs and anyone else close by)!

And, I've been doing great on my food plan, never craving carbs or wanting to eat unhealthy things but over the past 2-3 days I'm thinking about chocolate and chips and toast with butter and grabbing bites of things as I walk by (even if it's almonds or fruit).

I hate being a girl sometimes...

I feel you. My pre-menstrual anger is out of control these last couple of months. I can only see it for what it is (was) after I start my period, though. My poor husband. LOL

I feel for you guys. I had a complete hysterectomy 26 years ago so I dont suffer from that. Hang in there it will be gone soon!!

Hi Ginger,

I was looking at your before and after picture because I was wondering what 50 lbs plus weight loss would look like. You look amazing and I think you look at least 10 years younger.

Way to go!

@@Beni Thanks! 50 pounds for me was 1/4 of my body weight and let me tell you, it feels GREAT that it's gone! Of course, when I look in the mirror I don't see what I think other people see and I recently ordered some Life's Good tshirts off Amazon and couldn't convince myself to buy Mediums... ended up with large's which are kinda "large" on me.

Guess the brain will catch up one day!
