  • Feel free to add me. I just started my journey a month ago and have a long way to go. One day at a time!
  • Feel free to add me if you like. I have alot more to loose and may be able to help encourage you!
  • You can friend me as well if you like. I will be here a while as I have a long way to go. Could always use another cheerleader!
  • I agree. That is horrible advice. You should use common sense when you put something in your mouth. For example, if you had to choose between a big mac meal and a skinless chicken breast with a side of broccoli, the latter would be healthier. Remember that you want to be under your calorie goal for the day. Anything you…
  • I have tried most everything out there including Medifast and weight watchers. Lots of stuff worked, but not long term. My daughter was diagnosed with Eosinopril Esophagitis, and we have gone dairy and gluten free as a family to help her. We have done the vegan/ all raw/ holistic stuff as well. I did not see a huge…
  • I agree. It seems people jump into these complicated relationships too fast and in 6 years they are shocked when they don't want the same things. It takes time to get to know someone. I really believe in doing all you can to stay with someone (especially if children are involved) unless you are in danger. I am divorced, so…
  • I thought my horrible mood swings were just what all single moms had. I would get soooooo mad! Since having my Mirena removed, I have had very few mood swings.
  • I had a Mirena IUD put in ASAP after having my last child 10 years ago. I had the first one for 5 years (maximum time) andwhen I went to have it taken out, I had no problem saying yes to another being put in the same day. I never had a period with them, and I really liked it. I never had any of the side effects (that I…
  • Beautiful! You look amazing!
  • I usually do a cup of plain non-fat greek yogurt and a half cup of red grapes mixed together and add one packet of Splenda. I have a hard boiled egg and allow myself one cup of coffee. You could also do cheese grits, Ezekiel bread, sauteed veggies, fruit smooties, We are also gluten free and I make my children gluten free…
  • My daughter and I are gluten and dairy free. We also must exclude tree nuts (we can eat peanuts), coconut, soy, and she has to stay away from fruits and all non green veggies. We hope the fruits and veggies can be reintroduced after a while, but are not sure. She was recently diagnosed with Eosinopril Esophagitis, and is…
  • I sent you a friend request. I am also starting over. I have lost and found again 150 pounds several times in the last 10 years. I even threw away my skinny clothes. :-( I have to make it work this time. I am in alot of pain, and I need to be around for my kiddos. Anyone who can be support, please feel free to add me! :-)
  • Hi! I have LOTS more weight to lose than you do, but like you, I want to get healthy. The kids want me to play and I can't....so I am embarking today...again...to get it right this time. Maybe we can help each other along! Cassi
  • We just found out my daughter has a gluten interopathy also. In addition, she is allergic to tree nuts (including coconut) and we think she also may have some dairy issues (lucky thing she is not a milk/cheese fan). We have found some really great baking mixes (for pancakes/waffles/biscuits/etc.) so don't give up. Chloe is…
  • You guys are great! Thanks! Got it fixed and I am good to go! Ticker is correct. Whoop! Whoop! Blessings! Cassi
