  • Your diary looks good. You could try drinking more water. Depending on when you started, you could have built up some muscle, too. It weighs more than fat. Don't give up--there are plateaus!

  • Hi, I'm Wendy. I'm 52 and moved to Columbus from Southern California 6 years ago. My husband and I moved here to be part of a certain church. We heard the minister speak and just wanted to be part of this congregation, but didn't know anyone here--that was tough at first! My lifelong friends and family are on the other…

  • Count me in! It's time for me to get serious--I started on this site 2 weeks ago and have seen where I'm not keeping to my plan (mostly snacking at night). So, it's good to make a fresh February start!

  • Welcome! Congratulations for the courage to start the journey! We really can gain back our lives. Small changes one at a time seems the recommended way to go. It helps me to stay focused on my motives and be mindful about what I do--and what I feel. I am in the early stages of change myself. I love this site that lets me…

  • Hi, Riley Red! We have a Tempurpedic (Swedish memory foam) mattress. It used to be very comfortable for me, but now that I'm achier, I sleep in the guest room on the soft, sagging mattress! It was meant to be a temporary fix when I had bursitis in my shoulder, but every time I try to go back, the tempurpedic bed feels like…

  • Hi, Red. I'm in Columbus, Ohio--moved here from Los Angeles about 6 years ago. I love the four seasons here. KittyNeuron--water aerobics sound like a good move! I'm thinking about doing that myself, especially to help me get out more--I can isolate myself at home so easily. For those who have difficulty standing, there are…

  • You have a great attitude! Thank you for bringing anger to our attention--putting it out there on the table! We can't fix it if we don't know it's broke. Anger should be addressed and dealt with--it's hurtful. The weight loss journey may be enjoyable, but also painful as we face those inner fears--emotionally getting worse…

  • Hi, everyone! I love reading your posts. My name is Wendy and I'm 52 years old. I have IBS, joint pain from osteo arthritis & bursitis, and just had my thyroid removed a year ago. I am still adjusting to the thyroxine. I have lost 15 lbs. in the past few months, but my waist is thicker! I think being ill with thyroid for 2…

  • Hi, I'm 52 and need to lose 100 lbs. I lost 110 years ago, so I know I can do it, but I gained most of them back when I stopped "doing it". Getting started is the hardest part. We're so used to instant gratification, and that doesn't happen with weight loss. Even though 200 lbs. is a lot, if you just keep on your weight…
