Food/nutrition tips
I'm going to pin this topic. We can all add ideas of things we find. They don't necessarily have to be recipes, but things we find that that help along the way.

Restarting over 60
Hello, I'm Elaine and here I am again and now it's harder than ever.
im new
hello my name is Jenni and I have been overweight most of my life well at least since I was about 11... I had a few bad things happen in my life that didn't help and I used food for comfort. a few years ago I ended up in the hospital on death's door and that scared me awake enough to finally get my act in gear.
New to the group
Hi there! My name is Stacie, I am 31 years old and reside in Austin TX. I currently need to lose about 125lbs. This is the heaviest i have ever been. I have tried this song and dance before.

Anxiety is high and so is my calorie intake. coincidence? I think not.

Anyone Looking for 5X Shirts?
I just cleaned out my closets and drawers and have quite a lot of 5X shirts, blouses, tanks, and a short sleeve cropped jean jacket I'm looking to sell. If anyone is interested let me know! Hoping to sell them as a lot. :-)
Halloween Candy - dreading it
So I have two kids (ages 9 and 10) and they are so excited about Halloween. I don't mind decorating a bit and being festive but gosh, I'm thinking about all that candy being around and it's making me antsy. Certain candy I can do without but I know myself and certain candy is hard to resist. Plus, people bring extra candy…
