Ooops- forgot this part... please add me!!

Back after a long absence; I would love to interact with people who are motivated, have a great sense of humor, and are supportive! I'm kinda housebound ( bad knees, with surgery on one of them next week), so I need to be reminded to BEHAVE myself when I eat!

I have torn meniscus in both knees (surgery on the right leg next week); please see your doctor! Its better to be safe than sorry. I'm still walking on the treadmill, and am on the hunt for strengthening exercises for every lower body part ;-). Good luck.

I came to this board to ask the EXACT SAME QUESTIONS! LOL! I am looking to buy one also! Thanks for beating me to the punch :smile:

I have two in the morning- its my coffee- and drink water the rest of the day (and a hit of almond or soy milk). Sometimes I go on "binges" where I drink up to 4 cans of Diet Pepsi! It is SOOO hard for me to quit!

Sweetie, amazing work and you look awesome! How much more do you want to lose? I think you look great just the way you are!

From what I've read, the stress hormone cortisol is a huge reason we can get rid of the excess lbs (and gain it, too). I'm a stress monster- I also have fibro and a few more health issues... please, please remember this is a lifestayle change, not a race... this site is AWESOME for tracking what you eat- and everyone on…

Please feel free to add me- I am 47 and medical issues have taken their toll on me, so my body is resisting getting healthy... our goals are completely attainable, so let's kick each other in the butt and get this done!:happy:

My mom said pull out a silver hair, seven would take its place; I pulled one out to see what would happen and at 16 I started getting my first silvers. She also said ' I once complained I had no shoes, until I saw a man with no feet". That one touched something deep inside me, and i try to be grateful every day for the…

Wow- you look absolutely amazing... congratulations on changing your life- you're beautiful!

Woja, you look awesome! Pretty eyes! 8.5 :)

You are such an inspiration! Do not apologize for putting up too many" pics- post all you want... you've done a phenomenal job with taking your life back and if you want to show the world, you do so. I am so inspired- I, too have bad knees and am trying ot get the excess weight off. I will eventually have to have my right…

It sure helped me! Very well put, and so easy to understand- thank you!

Looking great!

That has to be one of my biggest pet peeves!

I hate that one, too! Drives me crazy.

HILARIOUS! I don't think mine would make much of a difference :( but thanks for the suggestion and the smile... and the men's reactions to this topic is GREAT...LOL:laugh:

youn look AMAZING! Phenomenal job- your gorgeous! Congratulations and thank you for sharing these pics with us.

I chose this pic because it is probably one of the best I've taken... believe me, its all about shooting at the right angle and having the light a little lower so the wrinkles don't show up. I think I'll post more just to be reminded of what I REALLY look like :)

:flowerforyou: Happy Anniversary! You look AMAZING, and what an inspiration you are! Congratulations on your fantastic transformation.

Hi Mary Ann! I'm two days into this site; feel free to add me! We can do this together! BTW, congratulations on doing such a good job with losing weight- you will do awesome on the final leg of your journey!:flowerforyou:

Wow- I almost started to cry when I read this- our stories are so similar! It's funny how fibromyalgia makes you feel like your all alone. I also have three bulging discs in my neck, CRPS (RSD back in the day) inmy left leg and left shoulder, arthritis in my right knee (I need a knee replacement but I can't due to the…

Congratulations on resisting the temptation and 5 lbs gone! That's wonderful! I am trying to stay off the scale unti next Saturday ( I am a habitual weigher- I get really angry at myself when the scale moves a 1/2 lb up!). keep it up, and please feel free to write me if any urges hit- I will be on here later on :smile:

The worst time for me is after dinner- I am a night owl and get the munchies later in the evening. I think I will be on here quite a bit at night, so please feel free to add me as a friend... we can talk each other through the urges! My biggest hurdle is moving my butt! Any advice on that? I have no motivation to exercise…
