Good lord I'm glad I'm eating lunch while looking at this lol....

Lightly Salted Old Dutch Ripple Chips and French Onion Dip.....sigh :(

Congrats to you - if you want this, you'll have it. I quit drinking roughly 5 months ago, I quit smoking too - smoked for over 20 years, and surprisingly I miss the alcohol, not the smoking. I'm surprised at myself as I do crave and think about the beer quite often. Turns out perhaps I had more of an issue than I thought I…

This is the same misconception I had. I piled on 13 pounds in 3 months. I quit smoking, so that didn't help, however I just felt like it was out of control...one day I woke up and all of my pants didn't fit - I had to go into my drawer and pull out the "fat pants"....I'd started running 3-5 days a week to get it under…

Province in Canada: Alberta ;)

This may not work and I'm unsure your drink of choice, but any time I get a craving to drink, I drink non-alcoholic beer. It takes some searching around to find a brand that sort of tastes like proper beer lol however it's only 50 calories a bottle, and it tastes enough like the alcohol that after one or two bottles I've…

Me tooo!!! I've had creaky joints for as far back as I can remember....my ankles and my knees, it freaks my husband out. I see it as normal as it's just always been this way. I've always wondered this myself, so thank you for posting this!!!

Oh this is so funny, I despise re-heated chicken. I just thought I was being high maintenance lol because it really does just not ever taste the same :( I'm happy to know now though that I'm not alone!

Good for you, where there's a will there's a way ;)

Wow, absolutely incredible. Congratulations!

There's no Canadians yet?! Hi I'm Sasha from Calgary....

Better late than never ;)

Is anyone still out there?!

Is anyone still out there?!

I run 6 days a week. Really need to implement some core strengthening and weights, but enjoying this for now...one step at a time I figure.

Wow, that's amazing. Congratulations, you definitely deserve it. Whether we have small goals or large goals, your story is so inspirational for all of us. Be proud, you've earned it, keep up the good work ;)

Congratulations....the first time is always the hardest, and once the little things (ie: conquering the fear) start happening, you'll just want to keep going. I also enjoy being able to come here and get nice things said to reassure me that what I'm doing is right and I'm on the right track. ;) Good luck on your journey,…

P.S., feel free to add me - The more support we have, and the more we can give to others, the better off we'll be in the end ;)

Waking up and realizing none of my work pants fit me anymore...I had one pair of "fat pants" and those are the only ones that fit me. Not being able to afford buying a new wardrobe - and terrified of being overweight again, I knew I had to do something - I forced myself to squeeze into my clothes day in and day out, mostly…

I missed a day so I caught up yesterday, day 5 complete. Frustrating....I couldn't do the straight 40 seconds, I had to take a rest after 20 so it was split. Argh! Rest day today....

Me - 4 LNS - 2* Streak - 0 Stupid slice of watermelon gets me every time :smirk: Today is a new day...

This seems like a really good place to be....my family is half on board, however not as dedicated or committed as me which makes it tough to keep going on the straight and narrow....it seems pretty impossible to do this alone - motivation and encouragement to keep fighting the fight would be greatly appreciated ;) Safety…

It's sadly always the hardest to get through the last bit....I have 10 to go - and am in the same boat. Frustration mode has set in - and tempting to get up and go eat a cookie sitting at a table down the hall from my desk lol instead I turn here....we can do it ;)

Me - 4* LNS - 1 Streak - 3 ;)

Me - 3* LNS - 1 Streak - 2 ;)

Day 4 done....still a struggle, but keeping at it ;)

Me -2* LNS-1 Streak-1 Every day is a new day ;) I think I'll still count even if I'm under calories....I think for myself the less loopholes the better. Quick hit post before I change my mind lol Keep at it gang ;)!

Day 3 done ;)

If it falls under my calories allowed does it count? Lol Me - 1 LNS - 1* Sigh...

I nearly forgot!! Day 2 complete...@mposter7, you're right, 20 seconds might not be much but it still hurts lol ;)
