I'm here!

Starting over today. Had forgotten about myfitnesspal :( discouraged; don't even know where to begin.

I am so touched by your story. I would love to be your friend so I can see some of your food diaries? You look absolutely beautiful!

You are here...that's all that matters!

protein! eggs/whole wheat toast, cottage cheese, turkey sausage....

Men are not able to communicate like we do. They just can't. I think he is so excited about the 'new' you and just doesn't know how to express that. Don't be mad at him and don't take it to heart. He wants you healthy and happy so you will be around a long, long time. He loves you for YOU. Just brush it off, and be happy…

Forgive yourself and move on. Do it for you!! No one has the perfect body. Eat one meal at a time and telling yourself you can do it!

Welcome! I too have type II Diabetes...I'm here if ya need me! Good luck!

Have heard that the shakes you buy at wal-mart are just as good; but nothing takes the place of good, healthy food.

I'm thinking weekend activity.....

eat eggs, turkey sausage and a cheese stick!

Welcome! Love this site. Lots of help and support.

Different people are on here for different means of support. Get what you need.

That's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, Just check the calories/carbs to see which one fits your needs

Hello, We are all here for you! :)

Hello and welcome! We are pretty much all in the same boat! Glad to have you!

That is very, very exciting! I'm sure the 2X looks very nice on you! Keep up the good work, ok? Take one day at at a time...actually I take one meal at a time! It's not easy, but we can do this. We're here if you need us! God bless! Mary

It's good to know we aren't alone, isn't it? I get so much inspiration from reading posts on here. I've never been able to do this before and now I know why! Welcome and God bless.

rave and rave and make a big deal and take a little taste in front of her. Tell her you want to 'save' them for later and then throw them away!

We are here for you! This is a wonderful site, love it! Good luck!

ten dollars! They say our angels leave us little gifts...maybe your angel left it for you!

Oh, I loved this story! You made my day! I'm going to perform a random act of kindness too.

WOW! Great story! You look amazing!!! Very encouraging!!! Thanks for sharing.

I hear you....it's VERY frustrating, but I guess it's better than gaining which I would have done if I weren't on here. I know I need to walk, but it is SO hot here. I just don't understand why I don't lose more. I see where people have lost 100's of pounds and wonder why I can't even lose 20???

Ditto for me. I usually sabotage myself by eating a peanut butter sandwich which puts me way over. I think with me, I'm trying to fill a void, but I don't know what it is. I totally understand! it's like a monster takes over!

wow! How does it feel to have lost that much weight??? I've only lost 5!

So proud of you!!! Tell me what it feels like to have been so successful? You are awesome!!!!!!!!

Hello! Yes, this is a great site! I'm hoping I do well and hope you do too. It is SO hard to lose weight! Seems I go up and down the scales. I'm an emotional eater so am hoping keeping track of what I eat this way helps. It's sortof like a game figuring the calories, isn't it? Good Luck!
