Totally derailed - too much going on right now. Will try again in July after I have moved and settled in. Good luck everyone.

cathysyng - please feel free to friend me, will be easier than trying to support each other here. My apologies for the delay in replying as I don't look here very often.

This will be my first challenge - I am looking forward to starting May off on the 'right foot'!

I have increased my exercise and the weightloss is slower. Was disappointed that only lost 8.2 pounds in a month. BUT, I can feel the difference in my clothing, so I'm holding onto that. In addition, my energy level is gradually increasing. What I am finding is that if I exercise later in the day (after 3) it takes me a…

When you hit a roadblock (like rain) that prevents outdoor physcial activity, and don't belong to a gym, what do you do?

First timer here - I'm in Miami Beach and it is raining and dreary. Saddened that I will not be able to get in my swimming or a quick walk. However, I used this opportunity to dust off my hand weights and do some arm curls. I have a large amount of weight to lose and have been 'back' on here 30 days and finally using the…

Russian film - Detective Anna- which became a series.

Your process is how they make bagels, boiling in water then baking. I have made bagels with this recipe and Trader Joe's Everything Bagel topping. They are great!

I am checking in to see how others are doing. Very happy to have not missed a day of logging in, or doing some sort of exercise.

Hi PatRN52 - you can count me in for support - please feel free to friend me. I am sadden by your diagnosis, but inspired that you haven't given up and started again in February! 16 pounds is amazing in under a month. Keep up the good work!

The comments on here are wonderful! I'm not the author but you are all inspiring me too! Thanks.

Update - Things are going well, I have had several people ask to be 'friends' and their support has been very important on this very long journey that I am on. Thank you to those that have posted comments here. I come back and re-read them often. You are all inspirers, something I didn't take advantage of last go round.…

mk2fit, I too am 60

Thanks so much. I don't want a collection of friends. I need a supportive and committed network. If friendship develops that's an added bonus. Thank you so much for your frankness, I need that!

I'm with you with regard to starting over, and over, and over again. I really want this to be my last restart

I'm in!

Hi zaraizzy - Totally can relate with you - feel free to friend me! We can do this, just not alone!

I faithfully use essential oils for sleep - since it is a scientific fact that successfull weight loss requires a good night's sleep. Since I started using them - about a month now - I am seeing results. Waking rested instead of tired. Over the years I have used all different types of diffusers and finally came upon one…

I love roller coasters but my weight roller coaster has got to go! :) Thanks for replying

Check out vegetarian times website. Great recipes, have been using them for many years.

Welcome!

You are an inspiration! GREAT JOB!!!

Good morning group! Well, you have no idea how happy I was to find this group. I have struggled with weight, like so many, after I had children and it's never been the same. I have "played around" with 150-200 pounds for years. Lose it, gain it back, lose it, gain it back. Now that I'm 60 I'm finding the lose it part is…

Hello all, not necessarily new, but have been away for quite some time. Have to lose 200 lbs. so a lot of work ahead for me. Interested in “friending” with other obese people for support and sharing.

Hi Mya77B, You already know what is affecting you and you also know what you need to do. The fact that you know and acknowledge those two things is AWESOME. It seems like we are in a similar place, and like you, once again I am back here. Feeling badly about yourself (I can relate because I'm there with you) is the hardest…
