Also, do you eat the same meals that your family eats or do you prepare something different for yourself? Thanks.

I can't wait to read it! Yay! This is one area that I think, unfortunately, causes some women to decide to stop having children. You are an inspiration, and we would all appreciate the advice you could offer in a book. I have found your books and your CD to be wonderful and informative.

I do understand how much hard work it is! During my 3rd pregnancy I was told that I had Gestational diabetes, I was very sad to hear that news. However, I got on the Diabetic diet and actually did very well controlling it with just diet changes and some exercise. I have just recently returned to my pre-pregnancy weight now after having my 14th baby and it was by doing all the things I had learned before. I put it all into practice each and everyday and stuck to it. Of course I still am. Arriving at my desired weight does not mean I stop doing all the things that got me here. Setting some goals is a great way to meet some of the demand of weight loss. Simply set a goal of say, '1 lb a week, so I have a goal that I will lose 1 lb a week over the next month.' Now maybe that does not seem like a very big goal but on the other hand most people lose between 1 to 2 lbs a week, realistically on a good set diet and exercise routine. If on most weeks you meet this goal and on some weeks you actually lose 2 lbs a week and some weeks you don't lost any, in 4 months you will probably average out at having lost 16 lbs or more this is great! When we lose weight at a slow and steady pace we are more apt to keep it off by naturally developing and implementing new habits, those new habits become part of our life and we become healthier people. Taking some prayer time and time to relax and de-stress are great ways to get to your goals too. Pray always and when you get to that point when you feel that you just can't resist some temptation, God is faithful and will meet you there and provide a way out for you. You just have to be willing to take it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 You know it is important and now you have to do something about it, just like you said. I am sure you are going to do just great! Please keep me posted on your progress, I would love to hear how you are doing. Holding you up in prayer. Joy!

So nice to hear from you. =D

Thank you for telling me about your struggle with weight. I do understand how much hard work it is!

During my 3rd pregnancy I was told that I had Gestational diabetes, I was very sad to hear that news.
However, I got on the Diabetic diet and actually did very well controlling it with just diet changes and some exercise.

I have just recently returned to my pre-pregnancy weight now after having my 14th baby and it was by doing all the things I had learned before. I put it all into practice each and everyday and stuck to it. Of course I still am. Arriving at my desired weight does not mean I stop doing all the things that got me here.

Setting some goals is a great way to meet some of the demand of weight loss. Simply set a goal of say, ‘1 lb a week, so I have a goal that I will lose 1 lb a week over the next month.’ Now maybe that does not seem like a very big goal but on the other hand most people lose between 1 to 2 lbs a week, realistically on a good set diet and exercise routine.

You know it is important and now you have to do something about it, just like you said.

I am sure you are going to do just great!

Please keep me posted on your progress, I would love to hear how you are doing.

Holding you up in prayer.

Joy!

Could use encouragement. Found out I have diabetes 2. So for once I HAD to do something. Doing ok with it but have a lot of weight to get off. I do like your suggestion that you are not desperate but relaxed about loosing weight. I am also writing down everything I eat. Am finding when I eat the RIGHT foods you are more full. I also eating more small meals. It does help. Wish you could keep up this blog. Could use encouragement. Found out I have diabetes 2. So for once I HAD to do something.

Thank you for sharing! You really simplified what it takes to lose weight. It reminds me of a book I read, 'Look Great, Feel Great' by Joyce Meyer. You two give very similar advice. = ) I seem to overcomplicate things, and perhaps that is what has kept me from losing weight, and what has frustrated me in the past. Seems like every time I get frustrated with myself, I gain another 10 pounds. I'm going to follow your wonderful advice and start eating smaller portions and start moving around more. Thanks again for sharing, and for giving me hope that it is possible to lose my excess weight. Have a blessed day! Rachel Hi Wendy!

You are! You lost 90 pound that is so very cool, a big pat on the back from me. I am working on this again after a new baby and it is coming but slow. I am now walking 9 miles a week and it is fun and really good for me, mentally and physically. I am really watching what I put in my mouth. Soup and salad are great. I really would like to continue this blog with anyone interested. Smile and have a great day, Wendy Jeub Hi Tina and all, I am an inspiration? You are!

I ate too much for the energy I burned during the day. I now have a recumbant bike that has helped me to lose 90 pounds without working out intensely. I did ten minutes before each meal & reduced myself from two eggs/two slices of toast for breakfast to 1 each. I saw immediate results. I had to exercise to lose it but not everyday. Homeschooling had helped me to gain some weight by sitting more in teaching one on one. I now try to stand more while teaching & I have the children read to me while doing my bike.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I have 7 children. I have have been up and down the scale twice in the last 6 years...lost 60# after baby#4 kept it off for three years even during pregnancy#5 ...gained it all back with baby #6 then lost 40# and gained it all back again with pregnancy #7. I sure wish I could end this battle of the bulge for good!!! Your success has pretty much confirmed my present thinking..."move more, eat less....you'd think chasing all the kiddos all day and all the housework would be enough "movement"!!! LOLOL!!! Have you posted those “before and after” pics??
