I, too, lost 60+ pounds 2 years ago. I've gained all my weight back and then some! I had my ah-ha moment over the weekend (posted to a message board then - "Need to get this off my chest". Today is my day 2 - still over my calories, but I'm tracking and I have to start somewhere. I'm an eater. Love food!! Have a problem…

Thank you to everyone for your kind words of encouragement. I am officially on day 2, though I'm still not eating under calories yet, but it's a work in progress. One day at a time. One meal at a time. I understand today's overage is thanks to me being away from the house the majority of the day.

Thank you so much! I know I can "clean up nice", but I'm truly not "feeling pretty" these days, not even a little. It sounds petty, but make up, doing my hair and clothes make me feel better about myself. I don't even have clothes that fit right now.... everything is really snug. I am the only one that change that. I am to…

Thank you for your support! I have done this before here, I've been a member since 2012, but life got in the way. I blew out my knee, etc. when I say I'm a stay at home mom, I don't have a lot to do, my youngest is 14. He's the only one in school, the other two (19 & 22) work full time jobs, like my husband. Today, we ran…

Skinnytaste is good, but my favorite are "Taste of Home Diet Comfort Food" - I've got 4 of them and I use them all the time!!! I also have blogged a few of the recipes on my page if you want to look at those (even some of the Skinnytaste) before you purchase. You can find them here:…

Hi! I am here, in the same boat. I have been a member here since 2012. I've been a yo-yoer but I'm the biggest I've been. I have a long ways to go and today is my D-day. I use my blog on my page to post some low calorie, delicious recipes so others can try them. Feel free to add me and we can support each other. I am…

Well, I have been saying Monday will be my D-Day, but I'm so motivated right now that I am going to start today. I know it may take a few days to stay under my calories, but I'm ok with that. As long as I am making that move in the right direction. I guess another reason I am ready to get back on track is I'm not sleeping…

The problem I have is I don't have any excuses of why I am not taking better care of myself. My youngest child is 14. I have time for me, I just use it unwisely. I don't have any excuses. I will not care what I look like if I am feeling better. This post was to help me get out of my funk. I appreciate your comments and…

Everyone is different. Some people don't see how far they've come, others just really don't focus on the goal. As for me, I have a HUGE amount of weight I have to lose. It has definitely taken me a while to even get to where I am even ready to get back on track. I have a vision board, I have set small "rewards"/"goals"…

I've been here off and on for a few years. I lost about 65 pounds, blew out my knee playing basketball against my husband and his friends (Yep, I schooled a couple), fell off the wagon and now I am back on track. I am tracking my calories, though my food is backwards... I wish to lose a total of 120 pounds, I am down 35…

I am in TN, as well! I have been here off and on for 3 years or so. I did really well then fell off the wagon when I blew out my knee playing basketball with my hubby and his friends. I am turning 40 this year, we have a cruise planned the end of this year. I have a goal to lose 45 by December 1st (I know dieting in…

I had a relationship in my "previous life". My ex-husband was very controlling, down to what I wore and how I wore my hair! My husband now is VERY supportive! Now, he does have his moments where he wants a certain meal or dessert (which I love to bake and eat), but doesn't expect me to give in. I have some cookbooks that I…

I just read both Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster (book 2 in her series). I LOVED it! I am currently re-reading The Great Gatsby since I read it over 20 years ago for school and since the movie came out, I want to read it before I see the movie!!

There's really not a list, but if you can eat veggies and just keep track of what you can eat, that's a start. I have recipes on my blog and there are several places on here to find recipes that could help! Good luck to you!
