"Diet food" is not your friend!
If you're the least bit interested in cooking, you can do this whole "diet" thing without eating any "diet" food. No low cal, low fat, fake processed crap. I'm so, so sad for my friends who eat an abundance of junk in the name of "health" (Taco Bell is not a vegan choice), just less of it than they used to. They'll lose…

Is this group still active?
Hello, I am Teka. I am over 50 and looking to encourage and be encouraged.
I thought I LOST those pounds!
With great trepidation, though my clothes had already told me, I stepped onto the scale to learn the truth. Those pounds I thought I had lost, well they found their way home and brought a few friends with them. Between the Covid shut down and then a very long healing and recovery process from an Achilles tendon Surgery, I…
Hello to anybody listening!
Hi, I'm looking for a group of ladies to chat with and this looks like a great place, hopefully someone out there will join in! I have been on other boards in the past with a daily chat thread and would love to be on one again. I've always struggled with my weight, lost 60 lbs several years ago and am now trying to get…
Why is this group inactive?
This group has a lot of members, why is there no activity?
Reset! Go!
Hey guys - After what amounted to a one-year break and 10 pounds gained, I'm resetting Aug. 1 with the goal of finishing what I started -- 22 more pounds by Jan. 1, 2015. Who wants to join me? Chime in here and send me a friend request. Let's get this thing done!!!
Portion size v. Calories v. Reality
I ordered a case of mini-moos and bought the pre-portioned Wholly Guacamole and Sabra Hummus because it turns out I HAVE NO SENSE OF PROPORTION! Yikes!!!
2017 - Let's Do This!
I think I'm late to the party as the last discussion board here was March of 2016. I sure hope we can motivate each other to start this group up again. I just joined looking for some inspiration from some wonderful ladies!
What do you wish you'd known sooner?
White wine spritzer. I feel sure I'd never have gotten overweight if I'd known about this sooner. I shake my fist at you, God of Secret Good Stuff!

Summer cocktail!
A fistful or two of fresh watermelon, a bunch of fresh mint leaves, a jigger of vodka or rum, in a blender for 30 seconds or so, poured over crushed ice, topped with a little sugar-free ginger ale or soda water. You're welcome.
