  • Annie- have you tried The Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah Maas. It wasn’t a series I thought I would like, I usually read suspense, mystery or romance. My daughter talked me into it and I couldn’t put them down.
  • I despise the meal planning. We are simple eaters and most healthy recipes I find on Pinterest or here have a lot of things either myself or my husband doesn’t like. That is my biggest obstacle.
  • I’ve been making a small change every few days, whether it’s increasing my water, increasing my time on the treadmill by a few minutes, or eating a little less sugar and a little more veggies. Don’t set a lot of long term goals. Set small ones and celebrate those when you reach them. My love language is taking care of…
  • Veta2018- I’m premenopausal and am amazed how hard it’s been to lose weight. As an adult I’ve always been on the heavier side and I’m feeling it in my hips and knees.

I have my one cup of morning coffee and make myself drink 8oz of water before each meal and drink between bites. It will go down faster than you…
  • I’m new here as well and have about 60lbs to lose. First goal is to get out of the 230’s. I’ve been stuck for several months. 236.8 today.
  • I’m glad I found this group. I started my weight loss journey, again, last October. My weight had been stalled since June. I finally got frustrated with what I was doing so I decided to try this again. I lost 2lbs my first week. I hesitate to use programs like this or WW, because they have made me obsess about the next…
