    You can do this. I have struggled with my weight for 10 years now and this time I'm really going to make a lifestyle change. Don't think of it as a diet but as a daily eating habit change. I know it's not easy but you can do whatever you put your mind to. If you are bored and hungry here are a couple of things I do: read a great book, go for a walk, start cleaning or if you have any hobbies you can work on anything to get your mind off of food. Drink lots of water. I started the IP diet 6 weeks ago and have lost 23 lbs. so far.

    You've made the first step in your journey to lose the weight, you are making the effort and that's important. While its difficult know that you are not alone! I have struggled all my life and I face temptation everyday since I am a chocolatier, believe me there are days I think I could eat my entire store -- stay strong! :smile:

    You are not alone! I look to food for emotional reasons too and suffered a miscarriage before my 2 beautiful girls. I'd love to be friends. :wink:

    Greetings everyone! This is my real time living a healthy lifestyle... I do not do diets anymore nor I want to lose weight. I just want to be healthy, period. Changing my views and mindset have made a difference for me. Hope to make friends along the journey.
    Remember one step at a time and if you falter, just dust your knees and get up and keep going!!!

    I would love some new friends too! Feel free to add me.

    I am a working mom, and attending college full time as well...hoping to be accepted into the Nursing Program this semester!!
    I have gone through a lot the past 5 years, including a very yucky divorce from a very controlling man...the problems started in my marriage when I started to lose weight and he HATED that. Sorry, I want to be healthy! he still is in my life because of our children, and he still tries to control me and brings me down as much as he can, even though he is remarried now. Some people just can't allow others to live their lives in peace... :/

    I don't have a lot of people I can call close friends but I'm a wonderful person. My sister helps keep me motivated, and my own drive keeps me going...but I want to lose about 30 more pounds (I'm down 10 right now, after packing 40 back on over the past year..stress made food my friend).

    Any help, support, and encouragement I could get is greatly appreciated, and I will return the favor.

    Thank you
    :)

    I've been dealing with weight issues for what seems like my entire life. I have 2 beautiful children and want to "participate" in life with them. I've been successful at this before, but then I got sick and ended up gaining all my weight back! As much as my husband tries to be supportive...he just doesn't understand. Looking for some strong women to support me as well as allow me to support them.
