I just want to say a very BIG thank your for your wonderful honesty, and encouragement! It is always hard to know how much it too much to write on your blog, but you inspire me to be open and honest, and I truly thank you for that! All your tips are fabulous, and i too am trying to be healthier, and get away from the emotional eating! It is hard, but like you say, you get there, and by the look of your photo, we can now all say..." What, you have had 3 kids???!!!" You look fabulous, and thanks again for the encouragement to stay strong! Love Keesh x Hey lauren.

I cannot BELIEVE how much you lost in 12 weeks! WOW!! I have gained weight, considerable weight, myself. After I married (2000), I gained the "freshman 10", AND the "newlywed 15"! It was the first time I lived away from home, LOL. Well, I think it was in 2002 (and more lbs. heavier) that I decided - ENOUGH! I joined WW, and lost 31 lbs. in 5 months. It melted off at first, then got harder. I was so proud of myself, and swore I'd never get that big again. Well, here it is 2008. I've got two great kids and am 40 lbs. heavier than I was at the end of my WW loss. I totally hear what you're saying about your 'point'. I don't want to be seen in public - I feel like I don't have anything to wear that is somewhat flattering...and I don't want to be seen in pictures. Which is a shame, because I DO *want* to be carefree and in pictures with my kiddos. What you have written IS taking a step out there, for sure. But Lauren, you are helping so many people by doing so. Giving us the courage to do as you have done. Thank you for putting yourself & your struggles "out there" for the web world to see! :) Thank you for being an inspiration. Even writing all this out is inspiring me to try harder. I start & fall backwards so many times, it's not funny. Thank you again, Crystal Lauren,

Well, you always did - but even more so. :D Thanks for sharing this, I've been in "putting it off" mode for quite a while now, I think your post was the kick in the pants I've been needing. I think I will bookmark this post and come back to it when I'm not feeling like following through...!! THANKS AGAIN!! Off to get some water (instead of diet coke...)... You look so beautiful Lauren!!

I was a big fan of microwave meals, chocolate, soda, potato chips: everything that's bad for you basically...and I was HUGE! Didn't even have three lovely, adorable children to show for it (don't get me wrong, not calling you huge ;)) I ate healthy, drank lots and lots of water, walked everywhere instead of taking the bus: the weight just flew off and I felt sooooo good! Then I got sick and started comfort eating, and most of the weight piled back on again, about 20 kilos... I'm so ashamed of myself and I so long to buy lovely slim clothes... Sometimes I feel I'm 83 instead of 38, I'm always out of breath and my knees and feet hurt from the strain... So now that my medication is working and life is back to normal again, I've vowed that I'm going to lose every single superfluous ounce before my 40th at least (maybe even my 39th, that's still 358 days away ;))! Thank you for giving me that last little nudge Lauren, I'll let you know how it goes ;) And thanks for listening!
