I have deleted my fair share of folks. I would rather have friends that reciprocate actual support and can do more than click on a "like" icon. Braggarts get pretty boring after a short while. I also like friends that have open diaries; I've learned a lot from creeping other's diaries. I could use a few more supporters.…

How shocked I was when I started reading package nutrition labels.

I thought of another one but decided it was kind of gross. Don't know why we can't delete a post.

How many overweight/obese people are giving me advice and telling me I'm starting to look too thin even though I'm not at the healthy BMI range yet. This happened on my first journey too. I finally made up some cards with my doctor's name and phone number on it, and whenever someone said that I gave them a card and said…

I have two of the Great Value or Quaker sugar-free maple and brown sugar flavored packages on occasion. That's two hundred calories and keeps me reasonably full enough until lunch. As long as it fits your macros, most foods will be good for weight loss. Except, of course, cabbage, cabbage is evil! :) :)

I don't count spices and I don't count condiments either because I use the low-calorie varieties and put them on so thinly it wouldn't make hardly any difference anyway.

I'm about 20 pounds away from goal and expecting to make it by the end of the year. I'm looking for more supporters, but please read my profile regarding friend requests first.

The things I thank God for every time I go to church: The clothes on my back. The food in my stomach. The roof over my head. My health. The people in my life. That I can afford the things I need and enough of the things I want to make me happy enough. That I woke up this morning. And everything else I'm neglecting to…

Get your Crockpot out, make up some meals and freeze your own on the weekends. When I was working, I most often had two of them going on the weekends and had a variety of things to choose from for dinners and for lunches at work.

I don't know if you can get it, but I really like Bob's Red Mill 10-grain cereal as an alternative to oatmeal/porridge. I make it with unsweetened almond milk in the microwave. I add blackberries, Splenda and chopped walnuts to it.

That I have 5.4 pounds to get into the healthy BMI range. I am hoping to make it by the last Friday of March, but I'll settle for the first Friday of April.

When you get my age, any woman that looks even remotely close to that is a hottie, no matter what kind of noises she makes! :) :)

People tell me they really notice my weight gain and loss in the gut, and slightly in the face.

Seriously? And to think I got pissed off and quit when they went to 85 cents a pack in the machines in 1981. LOL.

So that was yesterday, right? It's in the past. You have no control over yesterday, but you do have control over what's left of today and tomorrow etc. Work on that.

I learned a lot by creeping people's diaries male and female.

Do you know what a innuendo is? . . . An Italian suppository :smiley: I know it's kinda lame but I couldn’t resist. And yes, I'm Italian so it's okay!

You can add me if you like.

Hi! I'm Marc and I'm 67. When I lost my initial weight, 61 pounds, I lost the last 44 here. That was about 4 years sgo. I had several very supportive friends and it made it a lot more fun. When I came back, they had apparently moved on, so I'm looking for some new ones. Please check my profile and if you're interested add…

I just love these progress threads, especially with before and after photos, because if it inspires just one person then it's been all worthwhile.

When I first got divorced, I took all the bills and paid child support on top of it. So, I ate Top Ramen for the first six months until I got my Harley paid off, then I "graduated" to Swanson's $1.00 TV dinners for the next six months until my son graduated high school (End of child support - 2004) and could actually…

I would agree that feels pretty exciting and it will help carry you on to maintenance. Good job!

My girlfriend does the same thing. When I initially dropped my 61 pounds, though our friends were hoping she would get inspiration from me, I didn't say anything to her about her losing weight. A few times she has asked me about my journey and for some clarifications, but not help directly. I see the errors she makes and…

If you are regularly not hungry, you might consider changing up to more calorie dense food. If it's just occasionally, it's probably not a big deal eat a little more tomorrow if you can.

Friday mornings after my morning "routine" is done and I'm dried off from my shower, but before getting dressed and eating breakfast.

I too migrated, but a few years ago. This database was way larger at the time. This is a pretty good site, but I liked it better before UnderArmor bought it.

How long have you been taking it? I understood it to be for short-term use because the body develops tolerance to it fairly quickly.
