    I'm right with you all! Been struggling since Sept/October to get back under the 200 mark. I started trying to eat better and exercise in Jan but I can't seem to get below 209:/
    Looking for motivation and maybe recipe sharing for low carb dinners?
    Add me and I'll help motivate you too!
    We can do this! For the love of Summer, lol!

    I'll be rooting for you! I still have a long way to go before I'm under 200, definitely won't happen by June. October is my mark.

    I'm totally in do this. I started at 400+ and am now at 225. I got down to 199 and shot back up after I lost my best friend. Trying to get back down again because I know my friend would be so mad if she thought she caused me to gain weight.

    Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, I'm in for this challenge.
    So sorry for your loss. Best friends are such an important gift in this life. But, you are so right, your friend who loves you, wants what is best for you and knows you will succeed.

    This is so try, thank you for reminding me.

    [quote="Robertus;32023096"[/quote]You can definitely do this. I only had one major foot surgery, after which I gained 25 lbs, but eventually figured out a way to do this. When I couldn't run any more, I went back to swimming as my primary exercise. Where there's a will, there's a way. You can definitely do this.

    Thanks Robertus. I have had 4 big toe surgeries in 2 years and my feet are great now, had toe fusion for arthritis. Just was a long time out of my good habits!!! I am hopeful now that spring is here I can get back into my habits. Juicing got me started last time so getting out the ole juicer this week.

    Yeah, cerals are tough. They seem to be fairly calorie dense (at least the ones I like) and not that filling so I end up eating a lot. You can't really eliminate it from the house since your kids eat it. Sounds like you may just need to give it up 'cold turkey', which may be very hard at first, but it does get easier as time goes by, fairly quickly actually. That's what I did. Smaller portions were just not satisfying enough for me. I find that if I never have that first piece of Halloween or Easter candy, after a day or two, it is easier and easier to avoid altogether. After about a week, I'm so proud of myself, it isn't even difficult. But if I have one piece, pretty soon I'm eating all the kids candy at night when they're asleep.
