    UGH....Weigh In Day....the scale isn't moving! I know that isn't the only sign of progress-but it is a bummer! Same weight for two weeks. Still doing everything like I should. Trying hard not to get discouraged! (it's hard)! Anyway-its a new week-new start! Hope everyone has a GREAT week!

    I’ve been in the same boat and was feeling quite discouraged. Then I went to buy some new pants and discovered I had dropped 4 sizes! Look for other victories ❤️

    I didn’t even know the community side existed until like a week ago...anywhoo. I’m gonna be 46 in a couple of weeks. My diary is open. I exercise 5-6 days a week. I drink pickle juice and I spend an insane amount of time on Netflix. It’s a damn shame.

    I actually don’t drink plain water at all due to medical issues, so, I stay hydrated with tea, Coke and pickle juice (but ONLY from Vlasic kosher dill pickle jars) No other pickle juice with do.

    Hello friends...welcome to all the newcomers! Just a little advice to those who are new and want to add some friends. It helps greatly if you tell a little about yourself in the request. Also, a profile picture, and a little bit of info on your bio is helpful...at least the basics. I can't speak for everyone, but Personally, I am more inclined to accept a request if I can see a little bit about the person.

    You don't even look 36. Is the pickle juice your secret to the fountain of youth? If so how much do you drink?

    Thank you! I’ve drinking pickle juice since I was 10 years old, so maybe I look young is because I fermented inside

    Ok, a lil bit more about me. I more interested in toning rather than weight loss. I eat a very restrictive diet due to having digestive disorders, my diary is open, but it’s pretty much the same every week although I am trying to incorporate new foods/ways of cooking each month. I love cardio classes (especially dance classes) and Spinning. I’m usually at the gym most days except for Sunday. I watch a lot of YouTube and Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime and Cable (I’m working on that) but I do love being outdoors.
