I'm Tammy, 44 yrs old and mom of 2. I don't have small children, they basically do for themselves. I'm married to a great guy and he supports me totally.
Ok, I started releasing weight October '07 at about 240 lbs. I currently weigh 185 lbs. My lowest was 170 lbs until I started gaining weight in February.
Alittle about myself: I have Degenerative Disc Disease (not really a disease, it's a condition) in 3 discs (L3,4&5). I have nerve damage and it causes extreme pain in my left leg. I walk for exercise everyother day, have to have the day in between to recover. I walk about 2 hrs. as fast as I can. And with a cane! Before you ask, there is nothing more the dr's can do for me. No surgeon will touch me. I have to manage my pain, that's it. There are nights I don't sleep, like this one.
I'm not allowed to lift weights, dr's orders. It can further damage my discs. I don't need, or want that.
So losing weight is a challenge for me. I have not given up. I won't. My goal is 160 lbs. If I can get there, I'd be the happiest person alive!!!! I swear I would be.
Right now my problen is eatin at night. I do so well during the day, then 9pm comes and I'm in the cabinets looking for something to snack on. I eat yogurt, sugar free pudding and things like that. But I can't keep my hands off the sugar loaded sweets too. I have a problem!
So, I'll keep you all posted on my progress.

This has been hard fo me and I'm still trying. I have to get back down to my lowest of 170 again and then continue to lose to my goal of 160 lbs. I am determined to get there!

You are an inspiration to me. Sometimes when I want to eat something I know I shouldn't I will tell myself to wait for a certain time period and see if I still want it. Somtimes that works . Good luck.

Hello everyone! This is a real challenge today. I'm wanting junk. Sugar cravings are horrible. Ttom is about to show his ugly face, so I expected this. And last night I had a SMALL slice of my sons B-Day cake and some ice cream. I think that caused the trigger thing to happen. You know, once you get started it's like a roller coaster going down hill.
I don't know how much of an inspiration I am. I've gained back 20 lbs. It happened so fast! And now I'm relosing it. I guess I'm the poster person for yo-yo dieting. :( I'm really trying to stop that crap, it's really hard. A neverending story!
The scale said 185 this morning. We'll see if it sticks.I weigh every day but only use it as a tool to stick to my plan.
Good luck to you all! We can lose this weight. It's a life time commitment.

Hi everyone!
I've been doing ok with my eating. Maybe a few too many cookies though. None today though. Just ate 1000 calories since I've eaten too much the last couple days. I have to even it out some. lol
I'm still motivated to lose this weight this winter. I'm having issues with my legs. I have nerve damage in my lower back and it causes bad pain in my left leg mostly. Well, last night it was in BOTH legs and I wound up in the hospital having to get a morphine shot to stop the pain that my normal meds weren't helping.
This is why I have so much trouble losing weight. I can't exercise on a regular basis and I'm very limited as to what I can do and how much.
Well, weigh in is a couple days away and I hope I can lose something.
I think my scale is out of whack too. I get some crazy weights lately! LOL Might be time for a new scale.

I'm weighing in 2moro! I'm alittle anxious about it. There was a couple days of "bad" eating. The terrible cookies! They get me every time.
I have been eating my veggies and eating healthy, besides the cookies. LOL
Guess I'll see in the morning what the damage is.....
Later!

Hi everyone! Here I am!
I didn't weigh in today. I had eaten late last night and I didn't want to get a false number on the scale bc of still digesting what I had eaten.
So tomorrow morning I will weigh in and see what it says.
See you then!

I'm making head way now! Finally! I've been staying on track with my calories and the types of food I'm eating. I cut out using table salt. That's a biggie for me. I'm doing well. this is ok. I'm on track and this is good. I feel great to be so motivated again.
This is going to take some time, but I have all the time in the world to get healthy and keep the weight I lose off for the rest of my life. I'm ready. :) Are you????
