Okay, just had to post my 2 cents. :) You mentioned that you were a stay-at-home Mom & wanted to move on with your career...

Dr. Phil says that stay-at-home Mom's work the same amount of hrs. as if you had 2 full-time jobs!! You are indeed WORKING!!!

By the way, I am a proud stay-at-home Mom (3 kids!!) & I also teach piano lessons out of my home. (25 students!) I was banded 6 weeks ago & have lost 20 lbs!! YEAH!! 88 more to go!

Boy, there's a bunch of fat nurses. I'm one too. Takes one to know one. Looks like we're too busy caring for others instead of taking care of ourselves. I'm glad all of us are finally taking charge of our own health.

I am a SHAM to my 8 year old son at the moment, but before I quit work, I was a photographer with a well known photographic company in Australia.

For over 15 years now, I've been the Executive Director of a non-profit organization providing services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. I hope to retire in 6-8 years.

My husband and I raised our three children (currently in their 20's and 30's) and recently started the process over again as we are helping raise our great-grand-daughter who is 5 months old and living with us! It's awesome...she is a joy!

I'm a Systems Engineer for a large Aerospace Corporation. They love to serve food here 24/7 so I've gained 60 of the pounds I need to lose just in the last three years I've been here. May end up quitting my job just to lose weight seeing how I have no will power at all.

I am a marine technician aboard an oceanographic research vessel so I am out to sea most of the year. I would love to be a stay at home mom but I have not found the guy to help me make a baby yet. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
