Okay, I have to say I AM LOVING THIS POST! It has a lot of information, and thankyou for posting! True there are reasons these diet tips may not be for everyone, but isn't EVERY diet that way? Who can predict disease is effected by diet or how your metabolism works for each individual, etc.... but really for the most part…

My reasons are exactly what your reasons are. And each of your reasons are as important as the rest, so I have good reason to take my weight loss serious. I have got to do this once and for all. I am exactly like you though, all my reasons are the same as yours!

Okay, I see the importance of good strength training exercises now, not just walking which is what i have been doing. Even if my tummy has left over skin, at least I would be in better shape. I will measure myself tonight and start on exercises in the morning. Is 5 days a week good or is strength training better if you do…

Thankyou for all of the suggestions! I don't feel so silly for asking now, it really was a valid question but I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable by asking. I "wish" I could loose 5 pounds a week, but that's a dream. I can manage 2 pounds a week, but then after a few weeks I slide off the track and I just need to…

Wow! An amazing difference! You were always a beautiful woman at any weight, I wish it were the same for me, he he. You inspire me to hang in there and achieve my goal, it's obviously possible and you look great!

I hate being 100 pounds overweight, it is getting hard on me (maybe because of my age? 47?). My weight is even harder on my husband, it about kills him to even look at me. When we got married, I was like 94 pounds and 5 ft 9. He was tall and skinny too, we were kids (19). So 28 years ago we got married and had nine…

Wow, those are a lot of really useful suggestions. I had no idea I could find online support in loosing weight and eating healthy. I was thinking since I didn't have the money to join Weight Watchers, this was going to be really hard for me. Then I found this group and I thought probably no one would talk to me LOL but you…
