S, There a re a LOT of people pulling for you here... let's face it! We're all in the same boat, right? Treat yourself right, don't degrade yourself, and take it one day at a time! And DON"T let one day or even one MEAL get you off track or throw you out of the game! Make it a journey of learning. Like they say, "…

Way to go, Mike! I lost my Mom this last year, and even though her health wasn't great she did live to almost 86! Be kind to yourself, take this one day at a time and you'll have a great journey! Take care!

I'll add: 4. Pick a program that's HEALTHY, and not a FAD. 5. Drink 1/2 of your weight in ounces of pure filtered water EVERY day. 6. Make sure you get SOME sort of exercise every day. 7. Don't step on the scale every day, ONCE a week is fine. 8. MEASURE as soon as you start, Chest, Waist and hips. There are LOTS more…

Gwenda, since you and I are about the same age, let me add my two cents worth... It's ALWAYS easier and more fun to lose weight in a group setting. So you've come to a good place and have started some good practices, like seeking help, and reaching out for guidance. Now, make sure you are losing weight in a healthy manner,…

It's best not to CRASH diet! VERY hard on your health... 1-2 pounds a week is the best. At that rate you could lose 40-50 pounds pretty safely. But PLEASE don't do it the wrong way, your future husband would rather have a healthy wife than a sick skinny one, let me tell you!

Kay, I'm just working at it day by day, myself! Food is not a passion of mine, but I do like to eat more than I should. I'm so glad to see so many people making a go of this weight loss journey, and am willing to help out where ever I can. Have been a coach to many over the past 8 years, and love to have a Team of like…

Walking is KEY for me! Muscle=Metabolism, so building muscle while we lose fat is the BEST way to go. I started walking when my average was only 1/4 - 1/2 mile a day, and worked my way up to 10,000 steps, which was about 5 MILES a day. It was the best shape I've been in for years. Alas, I've let my walking go by the…

I agree, Katherine! Although I'm no longer there, I used to be 270, and am now down 35 pounds! One day at a time, just keep plugging away! But make sure you do it in a HEALTHY way! There are too many "fads" out there that are NOT! Let's DO this thing!

I like to Catch a good Mahi meal at Pappadeaux! But I've never caught a real one myself... Used to love fishing, but it's been years!
