  • Hello! I have been overweight for about 10 years now and I hate it. I hate dieting (as most probably do) and I am terrible at dieting. But, I cannot stand this body anymore. I am nearly 58 years old and have son who will graduate this May. I currently weigh in at 218 and I am 5'6" (I have also shrunk an inch since high…
  • I am so grateful for: 1. God, my Father, fo giving his only Son to free me and for staying by my side always 2. My husband (who has magnified his Christian walk this year) 3. My children with whom I am both blessed & challenged 4. My job 5. My health and ability to exercise 6. My church family 7. My Tae Kwon Do family 8.…
  • Wow - Thanks for info. I'm new at this. I've been coming pretty close with my calorie/exercise but my typical day has me leaving about 100-300 calories "wasted" (in other words I don't chow down after I exercise). I guess it's okay if I go around not feeling starved all day long. I've been dieting, but not starving,…
  • Okay - I really bit on this one. I kept thinking wow - is she crazy! LOL
  • I agree with the above answers. And I would say, it's probably only a problem if it interferes with your life (family, church, work, etc.) Sometimes it's hard to us to say if it really interferes (we need to ask our family members).

  • Before my knee surgery, I used to run 3 miles about 5-6 times a week. It was great, my asthma was better and my migraines were lessened. I could eat pretty much whatever I wanted. I also take Tae Kwon Do which is great for building strength, confidence, and stamina. Especially the sparring portion. If you get the right…
  • Yeah - welcome to all us newbies! This site is so inspiring to me. My husband even says "you're really crazed about that website - great - hope it helps us out". I've done pretty good my first three days. I count all my calories, exercise daily, but don't starve myself. If I get a craving, I try to ignore it and do…
  • FALSE - not anymore (but I used to) True or False: The person below me is inspired that he/she can do it this time!
  • Losing baby weight (from 4 babies) over the years. Truthfully, I just really like to eat. But, this website is awesome & I'm pumped about dropping these pounds!
  • Fruit, fruit, fruit.... I am having Sodium problems too. I did the same thing - ate soup and it loaded up my sodium. But there is tons of sodium in so many foods! I am going to concentrate on a little less each day until I can get that number under control. I was surprised my fat consumption wasn't as bad as I thought, but…
  • I just told emailed my sister this website and she signed up too. Hopefully, we will keep it up and email each other at least weekly to talk "shop" about getting thinner!
  • This is my second day on my quest to get healthier, lose weight, and be the best I can as a Christian, wife, mother, and grandmother. My physical therapist told me about this website. I signed on today and I love it! Our entire church congregation is running a weight loss endeavor which we are calling "The Biggest…
