My knees, my hips, my back, my ankles. I’m 48 and walk like my grandma used to! My 80 year old mom puts me to shame. I want to be mobile and don’t want to be stuck on a scooter or wheelchair in 10 years. I need to face the reality that it may happen if I don’t smarten up.

Me too! Similar story to everyone here. My highest weight was 292. Lost 70 at WW and lost my focus. Slowly put it back on and then COVID hit. While others stocked up on toilet paper, I stocked up on potato chips! My husband and I both ate a LOT of junk food and I didn’t even care. It was rather freeing to just eat what I…

We are anxiously awaiting our swim spa to be delivered. It was supposed to be the third week of June but now it’s the last week of July. Hopefully there will be no more delays! I’m excited!

I can not wait for the antibody test to come out. In December my husband and I were both quite sick. We both had some similar issues but some different ones as well. I was having a fluttery feeling in my chest that I was worried about my heart, my breathing was bad and my asthma inhaler just wouldn’t work. We finally went…

My diary is open but i don’t know how to invite friends! Lol I can’t say I have a model diary—- I have ways of squeezing things in to make it work for me. When I track, I usually lose. I am back after being away for many many months. I’ve gained lots of weight back as I ate very very stupid during isolation. I ate more…

That’s true. My husband walked by and asked “ is that all the sweet potatoes they sent?” And I realized that it was the perfect amount and we’ve been eating way too many sweet potatoes!

Thanks so much! I can’t believe that I am zesting lemons and limes, toasting nuts, reserving my cous cous water to add to my dish etc. Everything has been delicious!

I don’t know why YOU would but myself and several coworkers are just loving it. Not a waste of money at all, we are eating delicious restaurant quality meals and all made from fresh ingredients. Nothing being bought and rotting in the fridge. Not eating out as much. It’s a no brainer really… It’s amazing.

Last night I made Last night I made seared Italian sausage with is really couscous and spinach! Who knew that I could cook such a thing? We had some cheese in our fridge so I sprinkled a little bit of extra on top. I ate half of mine for dinner and have her for lunch today. So far so good… And I’m very proud of myself.

I’ve been addicted/ obsessed with roasted seaweed snacks for many years now and I just never get tired of them! 💦

That sounds great in theory and my pantry is packed to the gills… It’s just the putting stuff together without a recipe and using the stuff that I’m not very good at.

Well… It was delicious! I made Moroccan Lamb patties on toasted Naan with Harissa aioli. I am very proud of myself as I would never have made this on my own without hello fresh. This is the Canadian version of the company so I bet it’s a little different because the comments here are quite different than what the girls at…

I’m excited about the cooking part. I’m not really good at it and my friends that do it say that they’ve learned a lot. I am more of a person who buys things just to heat up but now I’m excited that I’m going to be making it from scratch.

We also have a soda stream and I found a tiny bottles of flavours to add that have no sweetener in it. When we bought the soda Stream diet lemonade syrup all it taste like a sweet man.

Thanks everyone I know the Canadian ones are not bland as they come with lots of spices and flavour packets etc. The girl at work who uses it says all the recipes she has tried are really good. I have signed up and will get my first box on Monday! Tandoori Chicken A Harissa lamb dish on naan Italian sausage and couscous…

I’d like to join please. I’m 47 and am aiming to get down to 180. It’s been many years since I was there. Currently 258. I’ve been dieting my whole adult life so I obviously need all the help I can get.

You can add me. I log in everyday. 🤗

Sounds yummy and easy! How many calories are these?

Hi everyone. I would like to lose about 80 pounds. That won’t make me skinny but will make me very happy and much more mobile. It will get me to 170-180 where I have not been in 20 years!

Well I’m not a fitness buddy but I can cheer you on! I’m a good tracking buddy though! 🤗

One interesting thing I learned from a trainer about carbs is only eat them if you need fuel. If you are going to be sitting at your desk or on the couch watching tv right after, then that’s not a good time to eat them. Their purpose is for energy and if you don’t se that energy then they are stored.

I don’t know much about the disease but I wish you well. I clicked on here because we just found out that our dog’s blood work is abnormal and one of the possibilities may be cushings disease. I was wondering what people have to say.

I sent a friend request to you. We aren’t exactly in the same boat but the support is always nice. 😊

Thanks everyone. 😊

Then there is definitely a glitch, I earned more than double that walking to the bathroom and getting dressed in the morning! 😊 Congratulations on your run! That must feel great!

I have been losing weight with my iPhone steps. I will never lose weight with an extra 300 calories I wouldn’t imagine. Sorry if my information wasn’t what you were looking for, I was answering everyone in this thread by adding additional information.

Thanks everyone. I compared two days of walking. One of them was 6400 steps with my phone and I was given 100 extra calories. Today with just over 5000 Fitbit steps, I was given 348 extra calories. Because it’s added in to my total leftover calories, it’s hard to quickly know what I really have left. I hope that it does…
