Just checking in. I am starting some D.Tox plan that my husband found, starting tomorrow. Tonight, we are going to the store to pick up all the necessary staples. Apparently, they warn you that you feel horrible the first 4 days while your body rids itself of all the bad stuff, so we will see how it goes. Doing the 14 day…

@crazykatlady820 : I will find you on Instagram and send you a follow request- I just looked at my instagram page and the few posts I have are all about my dog, but I will try to be more active on it!

Anyone is free to add me as a friend- it can be hard when you hear of people who have 5-10 pounds to lose, knowing our journey is much longer, but even if we stumble along the way, we can keep being there for one another! :smile:

Hey hope everyone has been doing well. I was cut off for a few weeks doing research for my job, but I was thinking of you guys and hoping you were doing well. I had a hard time because I was on the road and always do better at home when I have my routine. But I am back home and back online, and have already been to the…

I find creating my own exercise works really well. We just suffered a really awful storm and a huge tree branch came crashing through our fence. My husband and I decided to cut and haul the tree away ourselves (saves money and we will be getting a great work out for the next week, as we chop and haul it!)

I will have to check out an airfryer- I have a habit of buying food machines, but maybe it will get more use than my quesadilla maker, margarita maker, slider maker, cake pop maker or panini maker! :)

I am losing weight because my husband and I want to start a family, so I buy baby stuff that costs the amount of pounds I have lost (ie: if I lose 10 pounds, maybe I buy a $10 outfit). Currently, I am saving up for blackout shades for the future nursery that are $30, so once I hit 30 pounds, I will grab them! Once I spend…

Unfortunately, some people never outgrow their mean girl phase from middle school. When I was in my early 20’s I cut a friend out of my life that I felt was toxic. I mentally wished her all the best, but I emotionally moved on from her. I decided that sometimes, people are in your life at certain times for various reasons,…

Hope everyone is doing well. I have been a bit crazy with work and trying to meet a deadline so I haven’t been active. Hoping you are all staying strong! We have been hammered with snow by me so I have felt a little stuck but I currently am away on some business and am trying my hardest to stay the course!

I’d be looking up to you because I barely am 5’0. In my family, you’d be the tall one- all things in perspective, I guess! :)

Ok, I am trying the visual representation as well! Picked up a huge box of paper clips and have 191 clips in one jar, and 9 clips in the other! It’s a long road, but I am clipping them together for the pounds lost jar, and look forward to the day I can hang them in my office as a reminder of my achievement!

@rabidhamster87 : While I am hesitant to suggest one option over another, as ultimately you’re the one who has to live with whatever you decide, I am a big fan of pro/con lists, detailing as much as you can with each job. I would also ask your significant other to weigh in as well since he will be the one most affected by…

I felt myself in the past week going off course, and I am not even sure why. This has happened to me before, and everytime it has, I end up giving up. Since I refuse to have this be just another failed attempt, I weighed myself this morning. Down 9.4 since my initial weigh in. I have no doubt it was more than that, and I…

I never really understood why “woo” was an option, and from a weight loss motivational board, I would have assumed all options were postive (for obvious reasons).

I met my husband online but (and I am dating myself here), it was back when we had instant messenger. It was basically online texting: you had a username and a profile and people could type things of interest into a search engine and find people. One night in college, I got a message from a guy at a college in another…

@crazykatlady820 : That is a huge NSV! My husband and I started this journey together and it has been really helpful having his support. I applaud you for doing such an awesome job that it is now inspiring your significant other to do the same!

Thanks! I didn’t eat a single one and sent them home with all the leftovers, so it was a success! I decided to eat my lunch before they came so I wasn’t as tempted. Don’t worry about a slip-the next day is a fresh slate! I had a trainer years ago that told me, “a slip here and there doesn’t ruin dozens of great decisions.”

It’s fun reading people’s answers- there’s a wide swath of interesting responses! New questions: Why this time? My husband and I are getting really serious about wanting a family and we’re getting older so it’s kind of a now or never situation for us in regards to losing for that reason. It was easy for me to put off…

Then you understand the struggle! Well, I have a tough week ahead. My husband is gone for the week and I have to be good in his absence! And out of nowhere, his cousin and girlfriend decided to drop by and gave me an hour notice, and trying to be a good hostess I threw a batch of brownies in the oven so that I have them…

two of my favorite shows right there. Have you watched How I Met Your Mother? It’s like a whose who of Buffy and Angel actors!

so many cute dogs

I used to love working out to the Rocky soundtrack but I started getting a little too into it and would end up half dancing/half walking on the treadmill and realized I wasn't coordinated to do both (I’m incredibly clumsy). So now I listen to books on tape or put on the tv.

I quit diet pepsi back in June. I opened up a 12 pack one day in the morning (I don’t drink coffee so it was my caffeine), and at 11pm that night, I realized I was drinking the last one. The next day I didn't immediately go out and buy more and suffered a horrible migraine and realized what it was doing to me. I quit cold…

We are starting at the same weight! I’m trying to lose so my husband and I can start a family so we are doing it together! Hopefully I see you over at the other board!

Awesome show. I grew up feeling especially socially out of place until I watched that show and realized I was Darlene- through and through.

1. I live in New Jersey (please don’t judge me. No one here talks, acts or dresses like they do on that horrid show). 2. Sons of Anarchy and The Punisher 3. Cauliflower. I have no reasoning except it’s pale like me. 4. Spain. Dream vacation would probably be Italy. 5. Movies: Requiem for a Dream and One Flew Over the…

The first time I lost 10 pounds when I was 12 years old, I was discouraged I wasn't further along and told my mom when we were grocery shopping. So my mom picked up a 10 pound bag of bird seed and made me carry it the rest of our grocery store trip so I understood how much I had lost.

bmeadows380: You deserve all those things you wish for, no matter what size you are. Wishing you the best of luck on your continued journey- we'll be cheering you on!

I love the idea though; maybe I can try it with brightly colored paperclips!
