We can do it! Anyone add me

I'm 30 with 100lb to lose. My diary is open. Anyone can add me :)

You pay taxes to fund many, many public services. We all do. Schools. Emergency services. Roads. Public libraries. It goes on and on. A healthy society benefits everyone, including you. Btw- emergency care costs would go way down if every person had access to preventative care.

Not only Medicare, but add in Medicaid, ACA, Tricare and subsidized state insurance for kids and a large part of the population is already covered by government insurance. Ideally, health care would be affordable and we could all bootstrap our way to health without needing insurance, but since that's never gonna happen, we…

I will happily pay a portion of my paycheck to not watch you die in the street or catch your untreated communicable disease. I'm also assuming you contribute financially to your family, so in the interest of keeping them off welfare, I'd pay to keep you healthy. Oh, and fatherless kids tend to turn to jail/drugs, so it's…

So what? When he runs out of grocery money it's coming out of his own pocket. Personal responsibility. If he wants to eat Pringles & steak the first week of the month and starve the other 3, that's on him. You'd probably be mad if he bought all organic, expensive veggies too.

Not same difference. Businesses will have an incentive to produce healthier food. Most of the food you buy is made by 4 or 5 giant corporations. You want healthy food in your body? It starts with them. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the little guy in business already lost.

No taxes for people. Tax the corporations who peddle junk and call it health food on their labels. Tax breaks for those who stick to certain portion/calories/nutritional value guidelines. Then use that money for nutrition education programs. I can't believe anyone is calling for a sales tax increase. I'm not on board with…

I used the drink mix a few times. It worked great for energy and as an appetite suppressant the first time, but I quickly adjusted to it and it was no more effective than drinking a cup of coffee.

Honestly I just roll with it. Caffeine doesn't work for me when it's TOM exhaustion and working out just tires me out more, so I take it easy for those few days and just eat a little less.

I have a bunch of weight to lose and I need friends! Let's do this together!!

I need some support! Will accept any requests
