    I can not express how much that "NO" pissed me off. What a jerk!!

    You CAN do this, and you already have taken a huge step by coming here. Everyone I've met has been completely awesome and supportive (aside from the NO Jerk, LOL). I would love to help you and have you as a friend.

    *big hugs and lots of support*

    Wow, you folks are awesome! Thank you so, so much for the encouraging words. I don't think the person wh said, "No," meant harm. I would imagine that staying on for 130 days and seeing no progress would be very frustrating. Perhaps your comments to me will help her/him as well. I am very thankful to have found such a supportive group of people to begin this journey with. The advice and honesty was so touching and heart felt. All I continue to think is, WOW! I begin with baby steps, one small step at a time. But I will be honest, it felt SO GOOD to click that box yesterday and see "newday4me has completed her food diary and was under her calories for the day" (or whatever it says). The feeling of going to bed without guilt, without thinking, "I'll start tomorrow," is beautiful. So again, thank you. I hope to add many of you as friends in the coming few days. Blessings to you all.

    500 calories a day? What the hell kind of fresh madness is that?? :S

    Hell yeah, you can do this! And you can do it more healthily and with more long term success than anyone on a faddy craze diet!

    Thanks for your post! I plateaued at 28 lb. and am SO frustrated! Realized I'm now gaining a little, so I'm back to counting and counting!

    What is the calorie cycling thing you're talking about?
