You can do this. It's a long, hard road but you're right. If you can lose the 40 pounds on your own, you can keep on losing. There's no instant gratification in losing it the hard way but it is important that you try to keep the end goal in mind. Personally, I've lost 34 pounds and I keep gaining and losing the same 10…

I'm with you. I'm 50 years old and I've NEVER weighed what my IBW says I should be weighing! I'm at 237 now and my initial goal is 230. I started at 248 so that's pretty realistic for me. Once I get to 230, I'm going for 200 lbs. and when I finally get there, I'm aiming for about 175 which was my weight in H.S. I've always…

I've been using a FitBit for a few years, so when it finally died, I decided to try other types of products to see if I liked them. I tried the UP band from Jawbone but I didn't like the fact that I couldn't access it through my Android phone (at that time) so there was no way to see where I was step-wise. I also didn't…

I totally sucked this weekend. And it wasn't the turkey either. I just ate like there was no tomorrow. No excuses, merely the facts.

I always double check the values and correct them if they're wrong. I agree, though. If you're going to take the time to add something, why not take the extra time to put all the correct values in?

My diary's open. Anyone can feel free to add. I try to be as supportive as possible! :happy:

I'm not in the UK but I'm trying to be good and log in daily. Feel free to add me if you like!

Saving up as we speak to buy a little home in Italy!! I'd settle for the south of France or the sunny coast of Spain, but my first choice will always be Italy!

Like someone earlier said, I have no problem with decisions people make within their lives. I understand why people swing and why some people are poly. As long as they are honest with all parties, I wouldn't consider it cheating. It's a lifestyle. To each his own. I personally; however, would find myself a jealous wreck…

I don't know just how much you like fish but I love roll mops or pickled herring. You can eat them cold, they're really filling and pack quite a bit of protein. Add a salad or some hummus and pita chips and that's a pretty filling lunch!

I always thought Velma was a lesbian!

Those oh-so-unhealthy bacon cheeseburgers. And pasta. I don't indulge daily, or even weekly, but when I indulge, it's with all the good stuff.

San Antonio here. What keeps me motivated is my health and my long term plan to eventually move to Italy one day. There's a lot of walking you have to do over there and I need to be able to do it whenever I get there!

Damn. I'm a lesbian and I'm liking Magic Mike Mondays!!! :smokin:

You always make me laugh! The Fitbit doesn't need wifi. You hook up the charger to your computer. It will act as a wireless receiver whenever your fitbit is near by and transmit the data to your fitbit page. The fitbit tracks your steps, distance, calories, and flights. It can also help you track your sleep patterns. I…

I'm open. Feel free to add me!

Men!

Bangers and mash?

Hmmm...I noticed this as I came in to log my little walk because I am just exhausted today! My legs felt heavy and I cut my walk short at about 15 minutes. I hope it's just one of those days and that I'll have a bit more energy tomorrow. I hope your energy level picks up as well. It's tough when we only have so many…

I'm always looking for new friends! Feel free to add.

:laugh:

Two Rat Terriers...Samantha and Cornelius. They're both about 10 years old and they are my babies!

I'd go ahead and buy my home in Italy, move there with my honey and without worrying how we'd support ourselves. Once there, I'd set up my bookstore (that I'm doing part-time, after day job now) and concentrate on that full-time. Oh yeah...and I'd eat lots of fresh Italian food!

Thanks to everyone for for all the great ideas and kind replies. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one out there who feels this way.

No need to listen to this jerk! You've done great so far. Just keep moving forward and keep your head up!

LMAO! I can't even think of a good answer after watching this. I'm ruined!

I can't believe no one's mentioned Snooki!! She's had the baby so now she's fair game!

Once you start adding exercise your calorie intake will go up a bit. Just don't eat the extra calories and you should see your weight loss increase. Take it slow and don't get discouraged. It will happen, just keep moving forward! P.S. I'll send you a friend request. It's easier when you have some extra cheering from…

I really enjoy making chickens or roasts with root vegetables, a package of onion soup mix, and 1/2 cup of some kind of liquid (chicken broth, wine, water). Low for 6-8 hours and it will be tender and delicious when you get home. The only thing abou the roast is that I usually brown it before I put it in the crockpot for…
