  • 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 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!

  • 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.
