my journey
Hello everyone - if this interests you...I can remember the exact moment (I even remember your name Ronnie!) :sad: when I was first teased about my weight in grade school. This led to 20 years of always wanting to lose weight and change my appearance to what society thought was acceptable. I finally stopped fighting it and…

For anyone who doesn't know what I mean about the chat, here is the link…

It's so easy!
When I started dieting the last few times I could barely make it through the day, but now... it's become so easy. I don't have to think about recording... I just do it. I'm not craving the bad foods I used to love! It's such a weird, but GREAT feeling to know that I truly am changing my lifestyle and I love it. :smile: I…

Calories when Pregnant
First of all- I will ask my OB about this at my next appointment- but just want some advice before hand. I am 8 week pregnant with my 3rd child. I am also at 300lbs.

Way too weird...
So I weighed in this morning and the scale read 150 lbs. Very exciting since that means I have officially lost over 30 lbs!!

Diet Slip-Ups Don't Spell Doom
It happens--a piece of cheesecake here, a missed workout there. But diet detours needn't become guilt-wracked weight loss disasters. Proof: When researchers put 142 overweight people on the same weight loss program, one group followed it for 14 straight weeks; another took a 6-week hiatus at the midpoint; the final group…

Old life was wasting away
Does anyone else feel like their old life was just wasting away? I mean, I am so active now. I haven't been outside this much and walking/running/playing and pretty much just enjoying life since I was a kid. I find that I don't watch as much tv anymore. I clean a lot more. I think that's just because I feel like I need to…
