There are some crazy calories numbers eating out, that's for sure! I remember how shocked I was that a Chick-Fil-A breakfast was over 1000 calories. That was a wake up to me--"Oh, that's how I gained all that weight...two fast foodish meals a day and very little exercise..."

I am on the admin side v. the teaching side right now, but part of me really wants to tattoo 'there, their, they're" on my arm... :)

Thanks, everyone! Life may give us excuses, but we just have to Nike on. :)

I'm in the same boat--I lost 30 pounds relatively quickly (2.5 months), but had a couple weeks of pure stress/workaholicism and not feeling well and am at a plateau, but I have 40-60 more pounds to go! I just joined a zumba class to mix up my exercise some more, and I'm going to try to scale down on drinks with calories…

Welcome! I think you'll find the site really helpful in its aid keeping track of calories & exercise. Here you will find people who help, not hurt. :) I haven't seen a single negative comment (other than people being negative about themselves) on here. Enjoy!

Welcome! This site has been a tremendous help for me in keeping myself accountable for food/exercise. My best advice is make it part of your daily routine to record all food, drink, & exercise. Enjoy & good luck! :)

Excellent work! (And it IS work!)

Welcome! I think you'll find the site really helpful! Make it part of your daily routine & it helps keep you accountable for calories & exercise. It's helped me a ton so far. Good luck--we're all in this together!

Congratulations! Strut your stuff at the family function! Right in front of all the folks at the dessert table... :)

There really are a great variety of people & everyone is committed to losing this weight! Welcome, and enjoy!

Good luck! You sound really determined to get the "wascally wabbit" this time! This site is super-helpful--hope you enjoy!

Wii games are helpful--tennis is the best for your arms! :) Welcome!

Welcome! I think you'll find the site very helpful! I know I have so far. :)

Interesting...we are at least influenced by the other folks...the reminder to keep on working is key! We can keep it up!

Congrats! Shop-therapy is much better than food-therapy! :)

I agree with those who say that people aren't meaning to tempt you. Some people, though, may even be uncomfortable, knowing that they need to watch their eating habits & do better, so they try to get you to join them in their bad habits. I was out of calories by one evening this week just as visiting family wanted to go…

Congrats! I lost 9 pounds before joining & have lost 9 more since. I think this site helps with accountability + the ability to know restaurant food's calories. There was an article recently that said having to record something daily in regards to weight loss helps people lose more. :)

They help me feel the exercise a lot more--playing tennis & walking uphill leave a couple of days' lingering feeling. JC Penney is having a sale on them (or was two weeks ago), so I got them for $80 v. $110. They are wonderful so far. Besides the exercise boost, the shoes are comfortable--it feels like there's a pocket of…

I didn't feel any different using SlimQuick for two months. I'm using Lipo6 now & feel like they're aiding my weight loss. I'll see after more time passes. Sometimes the pills just take time to kick in, so don't rule it out yet.

Those ten pounds must be obsessed with you! Good luck! :)
