HUH??? :noway: Last week I'm cleaning off every plate of desserts in sight and licking out the chocolate boxes and this week it's should I add a side of peppers or some cucumber with that. I think I'm finally getting it!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I know the novelty will wear off but just wanted to say I'm LOVING this site!!! :smooched: :smooched:

    It's been a month and I say a big DITTO to everything you feel and said. I haven't changed yet. I think my husband is waiting for the shift. It always happens. Not this time though. I love this site. I love puting in my exercise and watching my calories go up. It's like yeah!! I earned those, ME!

    I totally agree with you. I have been a member since November 08 and the novelty hasn't worn off yet!!

    I went out of town for a weekend getaway and had to take my laptop so I could check in everyday and be accountable for what I consumed and exercised. I also would pre-plan what I was going to eat for the day. It has been a lifesavour:happy:

    Keep up the great work:flowerforyou:

    I am right there with you!! :wink: One of my friends showed me this site and I was so excited- I am the kind of person that does really well with structure...etc...when it comes to food/exercise so this site is just perfect!!:tongue: I totally look forward to entering everything AND I don't CHEAT!!! Even when I had potato chips for breakfast the other day I had to enter it - and then realized I couldn't eat as much later because of that!! Anyway just wanted to say "hey" and say that I am totally with you about this site - I love it:tongue::tongue:

    Ya'll hang in there. I've been on here since April 2008 and it just keeps getting easier and easier. I think this site is the best for ease of use, and awesome support. We're all in the same boat and I lvoe being able to chat and read how others are doing and the secrets they learn and the things they discover not only about food, but about themselves. It has been a HUGE lifesaver for me. I think I'll be a life time member even if I ever do reach my goal. I can't imagine my life without it. Keep up the good work.

    I'm really enjoying this site as well. I've been tracking since Friday and love all the tools. I hope to find as much success as all the oldbies.

    My husband has started watching me on my bike.....he "likes" it!
    As for the food tracker, he still thinks I'm crazy for caring if I eat some of the pork chops he cooked. But I hope he'll come around. He's happy that I'm drinking water, because I used to never drink any.

    Oh, I completely agree. I LOVE adding up my daily totals and seeing how well I've done. It makes me proud of myself, so even when the scale doesn't move like I would like it to, I atleast can be happy I tried to make healthy choices.
    My husband doesn't want me to lose any weight because I am perfect the way I am, HAHA!! But, he will make comments about this or that would be nice for or with dinner because it won't mess up my calories, not to fattening, or has lots of protein.. See, even if he won't admit it, he proud of me too and is likey, likey to the new Cindy!!
