I am Becky. I am a 55 year old mother of three, grandmother to 5. I have tried every diet out there. It is time to make a life style change. I can lose weight, I just gain it back the minute I stop the program I am on at the time. I am going to commit to the 28 days and see what happens then take it from there. I will…

Hi, I joined a while back, but started taking it seriously about 2 weeks ago. I am doing Dr Fuhrman's program Eat to Live. I saw him on Dr. Oz and decided to get to know more about his program. It isn't for everyone, but I feel better than I have in years. My appetite is under control and the cravings are almost gone. I…

I forgive myself if I am on program 90% of the time! I have to move on or I will go back to the old me. This is my life! This is a life-style change. I am not going to be perfect. When I pull in a parking place wrong, I don't quit driving. When I miss making the bed one day, I don't quit cleaning house. When I forget some…

Please feel free to add me!

Amazing! You are doing great! Way to go! Keep it up!! You are an inspiration.

My plans will sound so common: To learn to eat better and practice what I learn To commit to moving more. To quit stress baking! To meet new friends on here and try to stay motivated and motivate others! To take a gun safety class and then a class to carry a concealed weapon. To make a decision about retirement.

Menopause and the natural slowing of my metabolism has made it almost impossible to lose. I am determined though. I am looking for friends to keep me accountable and encouraged. I love this site. I love the ease of logging my food and exercise on my smart phone. I love reading message boards and knowing I am not alone. If…

I can offer support and would love to have a new weight loss friend. I am not from Georgia, but did live there briefly as a child. I am from the south though and trust me I know the pit-falls! As my mama would say, "If you love 'em you feed em!" I didn't know you could serve a vegetable that wasn't swimming in bacon grease…

I am here for you. It is a struggle. If you need a new friend feel free to friend me! I love this site. If you work the site it works! I love the smart phone app. I love the ease of tracking! I love having others look over my shoulder and offer me advice. Sometimes the change would be simple if you knew what to change!…

Welcome to the group. I love this site! I joined a while back but didn't do much with it. I recently re-joined and this time I plan to be more active. My favorite things are the smart phone apps that let you log food and exercise from your phone! I also like reading blogs and seeing that I am not the only one that…

The lady that posted taking periodic pictures. That is great advice! That is why I like this place! You are all so much smarter than me! LOL:blushing:

I run from cameras! My poor kids once I am gone will have very few pictures of me. Sad because I love looking at old pictures of my mom, dad and older sister. I had to buy a dress for an occasion recently. I knew I had gained alot, but standing there in the dressing room all "exposed" I felt horrible. I just stood there…

I struggle too as I am sure most of the people on here do. You can do this. One day at a time, one pound at a time. Wishing you the best of luck!

Hi I am from Texas too! I love this site. So much easier than when I do it alone. I had joined before and goofed around with it. This time I have made a few really good friends. Welcome to the program! Hope you love it as much as I have!

Set smaller goals! Set a goal to lose 5 or 10% of your total weight. Then reward yourself. Something really nice like a massage. Get up a little earlier and do a 10 minute work out. Yoga maybe? A bike!! You will be shocked at the energy it will give you. Consistently drink your water! Carry quick snacks you can eat, such…

Is there a park near by where you could take the kids with you? Stairs you could climb. There are free on line videos that are anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. As for the husband sabotaging your effort. Sometime when it is calm and before he starts bringing junk into your house, just sit down and explain you are…

I am learning that it is easier to open up to people on here than it is in my other life. Everyone here is in the same boat! We fall down and get back up. Here the people just want to support you and to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones! You are alone only if you choose to be alone!
