Pic of me last year and NOW this is what can happen if you lose focus share yours too

Nana, you roll over in bed and look beautiful!! I love both pics of you!!  Okay, I feel you on the xtra lbs.  We are at the same place honestly and I know you, you will get it off.  Naomi, do you remember a loooong time ago, when I sent you a message about being so desperate to break my plateau?  You told me to go back to 3 oz of protein at each meal, water load, super clean bandster eating and so on...and you got me right back on track!  I did what you suggested and booom..I was loosing again. You will get this off. As far as being gorgeous, you just are.  At any weight, you just are!!!

Thanks B! You know me and you have supported each other so long ..about 4 years and you know me, and you know I always lose what I've gained back..but this time it's seems a whole lot tougher, not sure if it has to do with me having pre-menopausal symptom in conjunction with my hormonal issue..but it's HARD!! Even when I walk in the mornings all my bones ache..lol, I guess I am getting old...but I will take my own advice and start with the proteins maybe that will help get me started where I can keep focus...but the weird thing is I can't eat much food at one time, I think it's the freaking sweets that I have become addicted too...and I need to find away to break away from my new sweets addiction I strongly believe its menopausal...coz I never had a serious problem with sweets like I do now...but anyway as always you have been there for me ....I think I am blaming Erik coz we eat out so freaking much...he told me this morning it's not his fault...he says I can barely eat he blames the sweets too....oh I will get back on track real soon...

Best wishes achieving your goal.  You got there before and you can do it again.  

Thank you So Blessed for your support!

You know you are a true diva but I understand your desire to take it down a few notches.

Not to flame or to hi-jack but why does weight gain always seem associated with either the integration of a new relationship or the disintegration of one? WTF?

Whew, I think I had a flashback....

  Maybe because a lot of us eat when we're happy to celebrate and when we're upset to comfort ourselves.

nah - I think mofos get fat when they are in a relationship cause they get lazy.  It's like the 'chase' is over - time to RELAX!!!!

  you would THINK these same mofos would then STARVE when they get dumped, since it's game on, right?  NOPE!!!!  Poor bastids shovel even more..... then start the whole 'why don't nobody love me?' trip.

Hey Shay....you may have a point....I am not sure why every time I get into a serious relationship I GAIN WEIGHT...I am not sure why...I guess it because when I am single I eat less and only eat when I am very hungry...but when I am a relationship there is more cooking and eating with the men that I've been with ...so I do contribute my weight gain to relationships...I guess I need to find a way to deal with this...I will put Erik on a diet too after we get married....coz I refuse to get any bigger....

Now Naomi.........!!.......... You are gorgeous!  Last year and today!  I do however understand the gratification of setting and reaching goals.  We are just not content until we get to where we feel we need to be.  Please know that reaching that magical number or not, you are a beautiful sistah!  Own it!!

Thank you gorgeous for your kind words!! I guess I am shocked that I gained weight so quickly usually I control my gain and never go over 10 pounds but this time it got me....I guess I need to refocus on my goals and find a good way to stay motivated and get something to help dim my appetite quickly....but the weird thing is I still can't eat much...but I do eat a lot of sweets and that's my problem and something that I need to replace quickly.....
