These days the saying "I don't mean to be rude," is actually often used to offend and insult people. You should have replied something like, "I will be losing weight and will be beautiful, while you will stay ignorant and rude for the rest of your life." But maybe you needed to hear it. Like I needed my husband to talk…

I like your attitude. "I am going to...." is so much better than the usual "I am trying to..." I have 10 x 10 lbs to lose and I am determined and very focused.

I came here 12 days ago. I have 10 x 10 lbs to lose. I decided to do in sequences rather than looking at the big pictures, what could be overwhelming. I am not in good shape. I have a hard time walking, breathing is hard and my bones hurt. I am over 50 and carry the weight of an extra person around everywhere I go. I am on…

I read all the replies that were visible for me. "Different strokes, for different folks," I guess that's what it comes down to. I put a copy of my post in my news feed the same day and by now, the friends who liked to brag about their bad food choices have moved on to calmer waters. :-) I am left with a solid group of…

Got it...take it slow, eat what you want and stay in your daily goal while eating what I want...when I want it. No more fruits and vegetables, no more starving. Chocolate cake and french fries on a regular basis not to exceed 1500 calories (until later on when I will be able to exercise more, then I need to eat all my…

I seem to be the kick-in-the-*kitten* friend. Thanks :)

Of course, I can eat all these things -but not on a daily base. There will be days when I will be over my calorie intake because a cookie or ten will have found it's way into my tummy, but when I do I won't brag about it in my news feed.

One day I want to will be a success story here, that's why I took the appealing before picture you can see in my avatar. Stories and pictures like yours show me that it can be done. It will take hard work, it takes commitment and I will be hungry at times until the new way of eating and living will be normal. Thank you for…

Congratulations. I just lost the first 5 pounds of my first 10-lbs milestone. I can't wait to be where you are today. Be proud of yourself, I am!

I am from Ohio, not born and raised here but living here. Good luck on your journey, may it be a successful one.

I am big and furious myself. This has been Day #1 and it sucked BUT I stick to my plan and it will get easier. I am furious enough. I would be honored to be your friend, we could *kitten* together.

This is my Second Day today and I feel like I am on detox. I just wrote this in my newfed "I am not going to lie to you all. I am hungry. It's not so much that I need to eat, it's that I want to eat. I ate enough to be full, it's in my mind. My stomach must have been stretched to the limit for years. Interesting enough,…

Great start to sign up here on (or around) your 50th) birthday. I wish I would have done that, but yeah better now than never. Cheers (with cucumber water) to the next skinny 50.

I started my journey today and will be here for a while. I have 10 pounds to lose and then another 10 and 10 more after that. There will be lots of 10-pound sequences until I will be satisfied. I suppose my profile picture says it all. I feel like a stranded whale and I want to change a lot about me, my life -our life. I…

I would be delighted to have a skinny friend as well. :smiley: Who knows, I might get a wild hair and will try running myself one day in

I came back online, not sure what to expect but was hoping I would find one reply. I just read all of your responses and send a few friend requests. It is such a great feeling knowing I will not be alone on this journey. Let's face it; I will be here for a while and now I know I won't be lonely. There are people just like…
