Hi everyone! This popped up in my side bar so I thought I'd pop in and say hi. I've been sober since 9/14/95. After I got sober, I struggled a lot with weight. Lost 100 pounds a few years back and kept it off, then overwork and a broken leg put some weight back on. I'm committed--down 16.8 pounds and 2.2% body fat since…

49 here, lost 100 pounds 10 years ago and kept most of it off. With overwork and then breaking my leg earlier this year, gained some weight. Hoping to lose 30 pounds my my 50th in December.

Hi Zach, just got back here after a long absence and could use some friends.

p.s. I looked at your pics and you look great.

After losing 70 pounds, my losses came to a screeching halt. I did go a little lower but it took F O R E V E R for a pound or two to come off. I got discouraged and settled into a "maintain" routine which I guess is fine. I'm going back at it and figure that if I eat healthy and exercise, the pounds will eventually come…

Yeah, my thoughts too.

Yay Marty! I'm so glad you signed up!

Wow, you lost a whole Olsen twin!

When you sent me the link to this site I'd just finished off one of those foot long packs of cherry Twizzlers. I think it made the 3rd in one week. I'm not quite sure what it is that I'm trying not to feel but I'll be damned if I gain back all that weight I lost. Wow, I first started J2S when we lived in Pasadena and I was…

I think I went Vegan not long before you did, I was Lacto/Ovo veg for years. The challenge for me is eating nutritiously when I'm out and about--working. I'm a chauffeur.

How long since we both went on J2S...wow, like 10 years! I have to thank you for giving me that photo from Phoenix. Looking at it makes me grateful. As for you, I look at you and see a beautiful woman. Thank you for tagging me, just what I needed to put the Twizzlers down and get back at it.

My favorite cheese substitute: Daiya. It's made from tapioca, good stuff. And it genuinely melts. I love almond milk, coconut is good as well. I've never tried flax as a substitute for eggs. In pancakes I've used bananas.

If you really want to offend your mother, become a vegan. Badump-bump. Seriously, If she knows what you eat and tries to force cow on you, that's her problem. Politely decline and move on.
