I have a Garmin because it tracks me by GPS because I work as a cashier and I don't walk a whole lot but I move around behind the cash register and it picks it up. I did not care for my Fitbit because you have to move your arm for the step to count so when you push a grocery cart it didn't count.

I have done it several times over the years. The thing is, my body loves sweets and before I would cut them out completely and then when I got to my goal weight I went crazy!!! Now what I do is I do have sweets but instead of binging on them I have them in moderation and not every single day. I am also learning to stop the…

Just started today.

I just started today and I am excited. Had strawberry for breakfast and peanut butter chocolate for lunch and I am stuffed!!!

I just started today and that is what I am going to do as well. I am not a big breakfast eater at all and it is easy to have the shake. I will also have one for lunch some days as well because it is quick and easy!! As far as the weekends I will be eating food. I decided to do this to be able to get the nutrients and such.…

My husband said the same thing, just not sure I can justify the cost and I am afraid of the pain :)

I have been feeling the same way for about 2 weeks too. Just not motivated. Need to get out of this slump!!

This is my downfall too. Reese's anything!!

No one has really noticed me either but like someone else said, I am still wearing the clothes because I am too cheap to go and get ones that fit. I have gone to thrift stores and such but it is what it is. I know where I want to be and who cares that other people don't notice. As long as you can see the difference and…

I love it!!! So true!!

arlyn, that is what my doctor said too. He said as long it was natural sugar in the fruit that was fine. He said don't have like 5 apples and oranges in a day but one here and there. I may have grapes once a week and maybe an apple but not several every day. I add in veggies instead like someone else said.

I am 39.5 and that is obese but I am aiming for overweight right now. We will see how it goes.

I have this as well. I did not get it until I worked with a personal trainer and I did an exercise he suggested and I could not walk for 2 weeks. It comes and it goes but the big thing is to have a decent pair of shoes. I know my shoes are wearing out when my foot starts hurting. The frozen bottle idea is awesome and feels…

Thank you. I know I can do it. I think before I was not doing it for myself but that has changed. I look forward to this journey!

I said no to Reese's peanut butter cup minis when I went to the grocery store. That is alot for me!!

AMEN!!! I could not do what I am doing without Him!!

So true. If you deny yourself you are going to binge when you lost control. Best thing to do is to find something a little healthier and eat less of it as well as add it in to your work out. It has worked for me so far. I started at 270 about 3 months ago and now I am down to 235 which is when I started here. I am excited!!

I started at 270 and I am down to 235. I lost weight several years back but gave up and did not care. Since my dads passing about a year ago with heart problems I decided to make a change and be here for my family. I have a goal weight of 145 but we will see. I just want to be healthy!! You can add me and we will make this…

I don't want to be skinny, I want to be healthy!! That may mean I am still over my own goal weight or what I am supposed to weigh. As far as pizza and cheeseburgers, if you do not allow yourself to have it every once in a while then you are going to gorge on it. Have a cheat day every once in a while.
