• I always say, I can lose weight but you will always be ugly. Kelly that is you. She lost weight, but you will be ugly until you fell better about yourself.... And Julie you really need to dump him.

Have you ever thought Julie may have a low self esteem.  From what I, got from the show Kelly does not give Julie any support. He just belittles her.  My husband is an a?? just like Kelly. I would love to kick him out. I don't love him like a husband, but I have a problem with co-dependice, and low self esteem.   

I was born here, and so I don't know how it feels to have no family in the country, but even different provinces can feel like a lifetime away. 

Go to your Doctor, we do NOT pay per visit in Canada, our provincial medicare covers that, assuming you have your provincial medicare is active, go and talk to your doctor. Post Partum Depression is NOTHING to ignore, please,I suffered more and more with each child, my first was bad, my second, after the last three months being bedrest and forced into breastfeeding twenty four seven, was alot worse and my third, I finally smartened up and made my own choices, and spoke to my doctor BEFORE the birth, was much better, well I just want to offer my support to you, Please seek out help, your body is secondary right now to your mental well being, when you feel good about what you are doing and who you are, then the weight will come off because you will be able to focus better, if you want to talk, contact me at cuddlecat6@hotmail.com, I really would like to see an episode of Post Partum Depression, because it is STILL not being taken seriously by some of the medical community, and by the public at large, for some of us having a baby is NOT the most joyus moment in our lives, and for some, the aftermath is NOT what they expected, added to that the extra weight and stretch marks, or a critical husband, well its a wonder we have any more. 

Kelly’s attitude about weight should be the least of Julie’s worries.  Is thin his only hang-up?  Will he still love her when she is old?  What about after having a few kids?  Is he the kind of man who could stand by her if she had cancer, and God forbid lost her hair or maybe a breast?  Would he take care of her during an illness?     

If his love is so conditional, he might not be the best candidate for a father. This man would be a nightmare for any child, especially for a girl.     

He is a bully, and he doesn't want to get over his childishness and selfishness.   

I'm determined too.  I've scheduled a physical to make sure I'm okay to get started.    

It might be a good idea to get your thyroid levels checked if you gained that much during your pregnancy. I have a thyroid problem, and pregnancy and post-partum can throw your levels off.  

I used to do water aerobics, and it was wonderful.  Most community colleges and rec programs offer them for cheap.  I found a diving school 10 minutes away from my home that has an indoor heated pool and excercize classes for a resonable cost.    

I hope it goes well for you, and I won't mail you any peanut m&ms!  

Hello there- I have never posted here, but am wondering if this is the right spot to post about the sisters on Fridays show.  Also do they actually see or read these??? 

I grew up with these girls, but because of moving everywhere in one state because of my dads job we lost touch.  I was so excited when I saw them- I didn'teven need to know their names or anything....  I just knew it was them. 

Anyone have any ideas on where to post to find out how to get in touch with them- even via email I would be grateful!! 

Thanks, Kelli 

Everyone should get their thyroid checked.  I went from a size 4 to a size 16 (before kids) and chalked it up to age, knee injury, stress, PMS, or any other remote excuse.  I kept dieting until I was down to slimfast, yogurt, and water.  I was so tired, I used to sleep all evening on the couch, and my husband would wake me when it was time to go to bed.   

It turned out I had a golf-ball sized benign tumor on my thyroid.  The doctor said that my levels were within the normal range, but once the tumor and half my thyroid were removed and I started on a thyroid replacement medication, I became a new person.  I am still overweight (I am also 5'4 and somewhere in the 160's), but I can function a lot better, and I feel human being again.   

Good luck!
