Hello - Your plan to lose sounds awesome. You can do it! I lost 55 about 1 year ago - and I'm going to do another 50 now.

Hi Margo, For me what's most challenging at the start is getting used to the discipline it takes to follow my calorie plan. Sometimes I get so hungry - tho, it's more psychological. And, also, getting into a fitness routine. Right now, I have adjusted to my weight loss routine. But, I haven't done enough for the fitness…

I'm looking to lose 50 pounds. I had lost 65 a bit over a year ago - and gained back 10. I stopped tracking and paying attention - partly because I became bored. After several months, weight loss slows. And, eventually mine came to a stop. But, I'm starting again - and I feel pretty confident that I can do 50 more pounds.

Hi ! I'm starting today too. Again! (doesn't matter how many times you start, what counts is you are doing it now.)

Hi Deb - I have the same weight loss goal as you! It is totally doable (I'm feeling rather positive today.)

Hi - I'm starting my journey today,too. Feeling really positive - and would like to be friends - Feel free to add me anyone.

Hi Matt - I hate plateaus. They are so discouraging. Good idea to try to change things around. I found that having a weight loss / fitness community really helps keep things interesting.

Since I'm back on weight loss mode, I weigh myself every day - at least twice - morning, night. For me, it's the only way to stay accountable to myself - otherwise, I start wondering what my weight is, and obsessing about it.

I found that I lost the most weight when I was being obsessive about the numbers. I am trying to be obsessive again! I found that after 5 or 6 months, my weight loss slowed to nothing. Then I became discouraged and changed my strategy, no longer paying attention to things. So, I think that if watching the numbers helps you…

Cindy - I think that you'll probably enjoy the bean bolognese! That's great. Also, I like the way you added your name in glitter and have graphics at your signature. Allison

I had the vegetarian Bean Bolognese. It comes in a pouch. It was simple to microwave. However, I did not care for it as is. I had to add spicy ketchup to it! After eating it all - it felt like it was sitting in my stomach for way too long. Like a rock. The pasta fagiola did the same thing to me. I guess then I'd give it a…

I track my food on fitbit only. I was logging my weight on NS for the bears. But, I realized that I don't care about getting them anymore. I don't even know where they are. My daughter takes them and hides them. LOL.

I'm Allison. I've been on NS since August 2014. I've lost 65 pounds so far. And, have 35 more to go. I live in NJ.

Hi Suzi !

I got my flex back in September. If I were to choose one today, I'd get the Charge HR. They didn't have those in Sept. I think the flex's clasp is a pain.

I have an elliptical which I like a lot. And, I have a few Leslie DVDs - which I probably won't be doing now that the weather is nice. I some times walk around the neighborhood. I have dumbbells and a bench for doing beginning weight training. And, I love to work outside around the house in the garden, landscaping areas -…
