Welcome Back! I've been gone myself... had a lot going on from Thanksgiving through the first week of January! Daughter got married! I was able to keep the weight off and I think my body will be happy to be back on it's routine of losing weight. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Thaw and then add meat tenderizer (I use Adolph's) then tenderize with a fork(Poke holes in the meat). This will push some of the tenderizer down into the meat! After that, add a small amount of Dale's steak sauce and water into a dish. Place steaks in the dish and let marinate for about 15 minutes on each side. While they…

I think you are making a great choice feel free to add me as a friend. I have been here since August and have lost 11 pounds. I know that doesn't sound like much but... I have been dealing with holidays and a large Disney wedding and house guest and illness so... I'm excited that I didn't gain anything through all this!…

Ashley, Everyone loses at their own rate. It took you awhile to gain this weight so give your body a chance to get use to the new changes your introducing. I am personally losing at a rather slow rate, but I don't kill myself either. I'm trying to implement small changes that will stick instead of trying to make a huge…

Welcome aboard! Everyone here is extremely helpful! I have found it to be the best source of support yet! If you want someone to talk with and cheer you on, feel free to add me as a friend! Good Luck! You can do anything you set your mind too!

Meat is terribly hard to give up!!! I was a vegetarian for seven years, fell back into the habit of eating meat and am now slowly climbing out of the meat section! If you are craving meat then you have an imbalance and I recommend you talk to a nutritionist to help get your chemistry back in line. Temporary reprieve would…

Cous Cous is great and change it up with a white sour creme sauce( similar to what they use for chicken enchiladas) instead of traditional red! I mix in pimento and jalapeno pepper pieces for flavor. Use lowfat or light sour creme and thin it with water and 1% milk! Good luck and happy eating.

Oh Girl!! It shows! Your face is much slimmer and your waist is more visible too! You look like you may have lost a bit in your chest area too!! I think you look fantastic! Drop me a friend request I would love to help cheer you on and I could use some cheering myself!!

Make your goal to sign in tho this site everyday and update something! Try doing three push ups and 5 sit ups and dance to one…

Welcome to the club! I have 40 pounds and this is the first place I have felt like I am getting real support! Add me to your friend list and we can help each other keep going! Glad your here!

Natasha, You don't need the gym! My daughter is in her second year of Law School and went through a weight gain when she was an undergrad! She has lost it all and then some (She's a size 0) by just filling in time that she would normally be sitting with dancing in her apartment to her favorite music. She started by just…

Welcome Cat! What country do you come from? I hope you will find us all helpful to you! We all need motivation at some point and the people here are great at providing support!

Welcome! You are definitely not alone here! We work through as much as we can together! We all know how it feels to try and lose weight for the millionth time! If you need a friend I'm here!

Glad your here! I know the alone feeling!! I always thought I should be responsible enough to do this weight loss thing on my own without help! I assumed it was just my problem and I had no right burdening other people with it! Especially if I didn't get anywhere!!! This site has helped lift the burden from my shoulders…

Hey, I'm sure some people will tell you to make sure you get your full 1500 calories in but I'm not one of them. I know sometimes I just don't feel like eating and sometimes my body can't get enough. Listening to your body is important For example, I was working out quite a bit and getting in about 5 miles a day. I wasn't…

Stay away from the scale for a couple of days! It always feels like a roller coaster ride otherwise! Your boyfriend is right, water fluctuation can go up and down as much as five pounds! Stick with the training part of wii fit not the weighing in part!

Hi Susan! Welcome!! I just started recently and I think this is going to be the anchor that keeps me tied to a healthier lifestyle! I've lost five pounds so far and it has been the toughest five pounds ever! If I didn't have these nice folks for support I would still be sitting where I started. I never realized the…

Welcome and Congratulations on that 6 pounds! I'm struggling with getting mine to move so I take it one day at a time! I'm excited to be here for support if you need me. Add me as a friend if you like and we can cheer each other on! I also think your name is cute!

Welcome Aboard! I'm a49 year old mom of two in Law school with a wedding looming in December for my daughter! Add me as a friend if you like. We can chat easier that way!

You won't lose weight as long as you say you won't lose weight! Sounds like you are turning into your own worst enemy. Try to keep your thoughts positive. You lost one pound. That's better than gaining three. Do you have a pedometer? If not buy one and track how much you are actually doing. You can do this!! You just have…

I grew up Navy! Loved it! I think it's great that you want to do this for your husband, but mainly for yourself. My husband is in a different industry but it will be six months since I have seen him so.... I can relate to long deployments!! Ad me as a friend! I would love to help you on your journey!

You will know when you are getting to much Fiber because your time in the bathroom will also go up! If you are not having major sprints to the restroom then your probably good!

I wish I could lose thirty three pounds!! That's amazing! and very inspiring

It will take a little getting use to but you can do anything you choose to do! Baby steps just remember that! If you want to add me as a friend I would be happy to add you! Good Luck! It's a great community!

Walked the trails at Wilderness campground! It was beautiful! Stopped by my favorite hotel Wilderness Lodge and picked up a Smart Water. At that point, I decided I needed a little dose of Magic Kingdom and so off I went! I did the Haunted mansion and with all the decorations for Halloween popping out it just put me in a…

Inspiration is definitely key and you just provided a shot to every member who reads your story! Thank you! Hope we can do the same for you!
