We are growing!! Welcome to the new folks who have joined! Please feel free to make topics and let us know how we can support each other. Also, feel free to make posts about anything. Losing weight is about more than diet and exercise. Sometimes you just need somebody to talk to. So if it's on your mind, feel free to share!

Mine is that it's going to be a busy day and I'm taking my daughter to the drive in tonight. I will pack our own snacks, but I am…
Ok folks!! What did you do to make today a good day? Was it diet and nutrition? Did you kill it in the gym? Did you do some fun activity? Here's what I did...I ate well and was way under calories (but still ate plenty!), went for a two mile bike ride with my daughter. Then we went to a local fair and did a half hour of…
