You're right, Snooks, I can hear the positive and the happiness!

I still have quite a bit of things I need to work on!

Granted- I did get down to that size 10! lol. In total I lost 30 pounds. But I am barely in that size 10 so I just keep wearing my slightly bigger pants. Plus I got a decent number of size 12 jean options and it will take quite sometime to get that in another size again! A plus though is I had met my boyfriend on the "larger" side of my weight fluctuation. So if I do gain some weight back he knows how "big" I get-before to be worried. I like that he loved me when I honestly did not look as good as I do now. It helps with my self-confidence issues

Hi Slaka!

The enigma of losing weight!

How did you manage it? (and well done on losing it!)

I wish i could lose some Like 100lbs

I mostly lost it to a switch in medication. I try to eat less and more healthy in general, but I really think its 80 plus percent my medications. :/ sorry I can offer no help to anyone else. Losing weight is just so difficult. But about time I got a med that had me loose some weight instead of gain! been on too many steroids cuz of my asthma that over the years its made me gain I swear a hundred pounds I later had to deal with trying to get back off. *sigh*

I have moved cities though and want to make new friends. But honestly-I've come from some serious crap. I've been through some serious crap. I feel as I can only relate to "hood" people. I do great in the ghetto talking to people. Its just very hard for me in the 'burbs. people keep to themselves much more. Yet I have spent a good amount of time being raised in the country as well, yet still find it very difficult. ugh. Maybe I need to put a friend add on craigslist or something. lol.

It takes time Slaka and you may not realise it, but you are doing great. Theres a way to go, but comparing to when you first posted here, you have achieved so much

Keep trying and keep working at it because i know you will succeed....you really are doing yourself proud
