I like the laughing cow light triangle cheeses, sometimes with a few soup or oyster crackers, or baby carrots, or celery. I like a small piece of cold salmon with one of those little cheeses and with or without crackers. I too like savory! Or sometimes even an ounce or two of roasted chicken from the grocery store,…

I want to say a thank you to the responders that jumped in saying they understood what I was trying to say. It feels good when someone gets it!! :)) It's the whole reason I posted about it.. I just wanted to share that it doesn't have to be a negative feeling, and for those of us who associate these types of lifestyle…

Totally agree! :))

I think my point was more regarding the perspective shift. from negative and fearful, to positive and hopeful. I wasn't advocating "wallowing" I agree that's not the way to go about it. But for someone who has misused food, even portion changes can be depressing at first.

Well, I don't, anymore. But there have been times I have. I figured lots of people did. But maybe I'm wrong about that. I thought that's what held me back from doing this sooner, not wanting that deprivation. If it was so simple, and easy, I would have done it a long time ago. But I guess I had to progress to the point…

I've been over 100lbs overweight, and I've had surgery, which I teamed with doing MFP type site before I was on here, and honestly, the surgery does speed it up a bit at first, but at the end of the day, it's counting that gets you and keeps you to your goals. I went through a very stressful time, I quit counting, and then…

I'm in the same bad back/hip issues boat. I like using the ball too, and will look into the foam roller and doing more weights. I am starting from the ground up as far as being an exerciser goes. Thanks for asking this question!

Please, anyone who's willing, add me too, I am recommitting today. 1200. Let's do this.. wool!

I loved reading your story, i love your writing voice and I especially loved reading how you described the difference of how you lost weight last time but never lost the panic as opposed to things clicking for you this time.. I too have been up and down, but feel a different sort of peace this time, and am interested in…

I would agree yours are good questions! I had very similar concerns re belly button and incision placement. One thing I never did however was my arms, yours look so good in your pic! I had heard that the recovery is hard for the arms and so never did mine. Would you do it again?

Very excited for you! Congratulations and best wishes! You'll do great! Jitters are normal with a situation like this, but you are taking your health into your own hands. It's alll good! :)

Yay! That's such a great feeling! :) Good job!

Welcome! I need buddies too :) I am loving this site.. I've used a similar site before but this is so much better, I think we're going to do well here! Best wishes!

Roni, you can do this. It's hugely motivating seeing all the tickers under the names of so many who have lost so much weight with the help of this site. I am only on here less than a week, and I feel so much better mentally already, just to be on the right path. Add me as a friend if you would like to support each other.…

Welcome! I'm new here too, just a few days but it's already been a Godsend. Good luck with everything, feel free to friend me or message me and we can support each other, I have about the same amount to lose. :)

Hi :) I am pretty new too, only two days in.. and also diabetic, welcome! Add me as a friend if you would like, and we can support each other. I am still learning how the site works. Best wishes!
