Thank you for sharing your inspiring story!

Welcome! And good luck! I’ve been at it about a month now. How much are you looking to lose?

Hi! Congrats on your 100lb loss!! That is fantastic! I’ve gone up and down due to 11 yrs in the military. After I left the military I stopped exercising and all bets were off. On 10/23 I was back to 250lbs and now I am trying to take my health seriously and get back down to 185lbs. I joined my first DietBet. I am hoping to…

Revenge of the skinny jeans is the best revenge!! Make him pay for it. Good luck!

I feel the same! How do I add you?

Wow! What an accomplishment! Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I work in assisted living. I was at a seminar recently that stated current predictors are that baby boomers will live to 120 due to medical and health advances. You’ve got a lot of life left and so many adventures ahead! Celebrate 50!! Happy birthday!!

That’s an awesome drop! I’ve quit the soda too. There have been some times when I have had major cravings. Seems like certain foods, especially pizza, trigger me to want a coke very badly. I’ve started taking B12 in the afternoons to get the energy boost I received from an ice cold Coke. I just joined a DietBet to stay…

Ahhh Tieks. I have been mildly obsessed with these online. I have a hard time believing they would actually be worth it. I decided they couldn’t be. Then a coworker showed up at work with a pair and is raving about them. Says she will never buy another flat and is asking for another pair for Xmas. Sigh.

So far it’s a very encouraging education and support group. Develop lasting habits that are small but will reflect big changes in your health. They have not tried to get me to do any diet plan or purchase any shakes. It encourages slow and lasting change. I start week 3 tomorrow.

34 here. Started at 250lbs a couple of weeks ago. Looking for support buddies to go on this journey with. I just want to feel better and have more energy. I have a 45-60 min commute and a full time job. I feel like I fall into the couch when I get home. I want to have more energy for my kids and to teach them healthier…

Way to go! I am 34. I feel the same about getting my situation under control. Good luck to you!

So far it’s been about making healthy lasting choices. It has us pick 1-3 achievable goals each week. I have access to a coach via personal messages to chat with about my challenges. Currently she and I are talking about my struggles with emotional eating. She is helping me work through the fact that I feel discouraged…

I take magnesium from the vitamin asile. I take it in the morning and before I go to bed. It seems to be helping with my reflux and pho gallbladder attacks. Good luck to you!

I am 34 and have about 100 lbs to loose. I started at 250lbs. I lost about 20lbs a year ago and now I’ve gained it all back. It’s hard when I feel like I am dancing with the same 20lbs over and over again. For now I’ve cut out soda. I have some coffee in the AM but water the rest of the day. I’ve taken up yoga. When I…

I just started Omada this past Sunday 11/4. It’s been good so far. My coach is very responsive and supportive.

Life is a journey. It’s hard to look at pictures from a lighter time. I was never buff, but I was under control during my 10 years in the military. I’ve been out for 6 years now and I am heavier than I once was. It’s time to get back under control and hopefully healthier. I got back on the wagon about a week ago. I am glad…
