I think you'll find the biggest joy of weight loss to be the picture hanging over the bathroom sink (mirror). Folks who are negative are going to be negative no matter what you do. In other words, their next response might be that sure you got the weight off, but it'll come right back. I had a great-uncle that was that…

Endeavor to persevere (Just keep going). You don't drown from falling into water. You drown from not getting out.

It sounds like you have a very supportive family. I'm fairly certain (based on what you've said) that they love and support you no matter what. We are always our own worst critic. I've stood in front of a mirror many times and said things to myself that I would never tolerate from another person. My advice would be to…

I'm with you, pisceans. I was diagnosed with Type II on Novemeber 22, 2011. Scary stuff. They prescribed meds, but I said no. I have a pilot's license. Being diabetic is a disqualifier. I told him that I would get in charge of my sugar levels without the medicine. So, to shorten this up some, my fasting blood sugar was 262…

Loving some Sinatra. Come Fly With Me or maybe Fly Me To The Moon. I'm also a big fan of the Andrews Sisters and other boogie woogie music.

I always log it. I don't always "close" it at the end of the day. Feel free to look at mine (diary, that is, tee hee). It's the keeping track that makes the success. I think there are a lot of people that don't log everything they eat. On the other hand, I, too, am horrible at logging exercise. I don't know why. Edit: Oh,…

I've cleared out the closet twice, so far. It's getting close to time for that sort of thing again. It is the most amazing feeling. I never really liked to shop for new clothes (still don't much), but I sure do love to get rid of the old ones. Congrats on your success!

My first vehicle had an 8-track tape player.

I used to call the area between my belly button and where my stomach hung over my belt my "gage", because I could pinch a handful of it. It's going away, now. My sister has lost a lot of weight on here (127 pounds) and she calls the skin that hung down under her arms her "second wave."

These posts are awesome! 1) I couldn't see my belt buckle (in fact, no one could). Now, I can. 2) I can get up and start walking without my knees screaming. 3) I, too, can cross my legs at the knees. 4) I can take the stairs two at a time. I avoided stairs before. 5) I can get up from the center of the floor without having…

I noticed my clothes changing after about 15 pounds. At about 25 pounds, I had three people ask me (on the same day) if I had gotten a haircut. Hang in there. I promise that it's more than worth it. Then, keep hanging in there. You will start to notice more and more as time passes. For me, the "body" difference was rather…

I always tried to lose weight due, primarily to vanity. I just really wanted to see a better-looking person in the mirror. That, however, was not what "flipped" that switch in my head to actively apply myself. I also told myself that I needed to be healthier. No success. It wasn't until I got some blood work results and…

Awesome! I know that's got to be a great feeling. Congrats on the half-way point, as well. Hang in there. It just gets easier.

I can hear the transformer for the neon "HOT" sign at Kryspie Kreme 30 miles away. And remember, "Do not eat if seal is broken."

Nope. Piano ... badly. The person below me has recently visited a tanning bed.

Not yet, but considering it for supper. The person below me can name all eight of the nine planets. :laugh: Edit: Boy, am I slow on the type.

Same here. :tongue:

A reduction in calories and an increase in exercise is the ONLY way you can lose weight. All those other "gimmicks" that you're talking about are just another way of doing the same. That's great if you have the money for that sort of thing (I don't). I'm sure that some of them are just the encouragement that some people…

Lost about 25 lbs the first month. I started at 312. Been losing steadily about 2 per week since then. I keep looking for it to slow down, but so far, so good. Lost 76 since Nov. 22, 2011. Endeavor to persevere.

Predators ... but hockey is new to me. In Tennessee, I grew up squirrel huntin' and cow tippin'. Now that's sports! :laugh:

No, no! I AM a fan of the El Camino. Car, truck ... I couldn't make up my mind. It's other things that I'm particular about. Got a '70 El Camino w/ factory 4-speed (non SS). It's just that when it comes to hair, I like it a little better when it's one way or the other ... just not both. I did, however, experience a grilled…

I like short hair. I love long hair. It doesn't appeal to me too much when they're on the same head. I suppose the fact that the El Camino was popular is proof that things appeal to some and not to others. I don't care much for ice cream on my mashed potatoes, either. :noway: :smile:

Also in Portland ... but the Tennessee version. North, middle TN.

I'm with you. I drank a glass of sweet tea the other day and thought I was going to have to chew it. You're heading in the right direction. Endeavor to persevere.
