Help! Can someone offer me a practical stragegy PLEASE. I have a terrible time keeping my calorie goal and I have to go to a baby shower tonight. It starts at 7pm. That is too late for me to eat anyway and I will likely be at my limit already. Should I just put a cookie on a plate and play it off? One time I went to an…

Just stopping by to say Hello to all of you. When I can I will share more, but for now I will keep lurking. Love all of you! Debbie in Chicago

I am so glad for this thread! I peek in (lurking) from time to time. All of you are so encouraging and I pray for those who make requests... I am making slow progress but I need to do better. Thanks everyone. Debbie in Chicago

Hi everyone. I hope you don't mind, but I feel more like a "lurker." I pop in from time to time while I am at work. I love to read about all the adventures and pray for the struggles. Well I won't have met my goal for my birthday tomorrow, but I still plan to buy a new top. But that is because my daughter and I are buying…

Way to go! Debbie in Chicago

It is great to laugh and cry with you. I have even said a prayer for one of you. I feel so stressed for time and energy, but I realize that losing…

You are an inspiration for all of us!

Hi everyone! It is day two for me (this time). I am excited to be with all of you on this path to a better me. I will keep my June goals simple. For June I will work out at the club at least 4 times a week. I will faithfully log in everything I put in my mouth. I will do my best to stay within my calorie allowance. It is…
