Awesome job! Inspiring for me!!

I have always been a straight up sweet tea drinker, fresh brewed daily and I would have it no other way. I didn't like adding anything to my tea except for sugar and it had to be the same flavor, no lemon, raspberry, no instant tea. So I'm not sure I would like herbal fruit tea, BUT, I am willing to give it a try. I might…

Ha!! I was drinking about 3 quarts daily. I don't even know how many glasses that is. I grew up on it too. I brewed it fresh daily.

Thank you for this link!! I found a few recipes in there that I'd like to try. I think you just reminded me of something - I'm probably hungry because of all the fruit sugar. I was thinking the fiber should keep my full. I'm going to try something. I take a small handful of medications in the morning usually when I go to…

Yes, unfortunately. I am only 5'1 and I'm just over 150lbs. I would be happy with 20lbs loss, but I really need 30. So I get put on the lowest calorie limit in order to lose weight. Unless I exercised to the extreme. Same thing when I did WW, I always got the lowest points. :( I do eat Dole Dippers as a treat. My problem…

I think I eat at least a few pounds of watermelon a day. I just recently realized there is no fiber. But it's filling.

I didn't go to the vaporizers because I knew I'd never break the nicotine addiction. I did it cold turkey and was finally successful after many attempts. Now if I could just be as successful with the diet and exercise. I need some ideas on how to turn my macros around. More fats and proteins are needed, but I have only a…

I'm going to venture to the other side of the picture here for a minute. For me, I'm 5'1 and 40lbs is a lot of weight. It's makes a huge difference in my appearance. I don't know how tall you are and how well you hold extra weight. If he only saw the picture of you at a healthy weight and that's not what you look like now,…

I'm short, and I have about 30 lbs to lose max. I'd be happy with just 20. Anyway, I get capped at 1200 calories and that only allows me to lose 1 pound/week. If only I were taller.......

Big headed

Mine's 9 and I was shy of 2lbs of getting it all off. Only to gain it all back - and no baby this time. :sad:

I'm 43. Would love to join your little group of 40+.

You just made me head to the fridge. It's only 9:30 in the morning. Sigh.....

I would never personally never do a cleanse. Same reason why I prefer to wash my hands with regular soap and water instead of antibacterial hand sanitizers. Good normal flora. I remember that well from microbiology class years ago.

That is definitely true about blood sugar and yeast. I'm a nurse, and I see many patients come in with yeast infections that don't take care of their blood sugar. I have to educate them about that. I'm not diabetic myself. I do have fatigue, crankiness, ears itch all the time, etc.... but not quite sure I have a chronic…

I only have 30 lbs to lose, but my caloric intake is only 1200/day. So it's still hard. I need motivating friends!!

Friends? How do you even add friends? I don't have any friends. ;)

It's better to be over inprotein than anything else, especially if you are working out.
