I smoked for 10 years and I quit cold turkey 4 1/2 years ago. I quit because my mom was diagnosed with COPD and I couldn't imagine seeing myself in her position, struggling for breath and hooked up to oxygen constantly. It was definitely a wake-up call. She was prescribed Chantix which helped her quit. I still have dreams…

I smoked for about 8 years, from 15 to 23. I quit four years ago, when my mom caught pneumonia and was hospitalized for a week. During that week, it was discovered that she had COPD. Seeing her lay in that hospital bed, barely able to breathe really woke me up. I did the patch for about a week, but it made me crazy, so I…

I have 6 inside (soon to be 2 more) They are: Cracky, Dusty, Panda, Moonie, Nanner and Sketchy. The new kittens are being fostered at my mom's house and they are polydactyls, so they are Ernie (after Ernest Hemingway) and Digit. I have two friendly strays named Herman and Sassafrass. I love my kitties. :-) Lest anyone…

I've got a green cheek conure, 3 cockatiels and two parakeets. I love my birdies! Someday I want a Macaw. :)

I drink mostly water and unsweetened iced tea. In the morning I have a flavored drink mix packet though. I love slicing oranges and limes and putting them in my water. So tasty :)

Emotional eating, depression and a love of cheeseburgers and potato chips. I've gained about 70 lbs in four years. Ridiculous. :( It's coming off though!

I hit rock bottom when I saw photos of me at a local shelter pet adoption event. I don't ever take full body shots, but I was walking one of our shelter dogs and someone snapped a photo of me. I saw it later and I didn't recognize myself. I felt horrible and disgusting. I weighed myself and realized I had gained about 40…

I'm fighting to be down below 200! My highest weight was in the 290s I believe, I was so scared to get on a scale during that time. I'm down to 275 and have about 150 lbs to lose. Anyone can add me! I try to be a great motivator and I love having more friends!

Speaking from experience, it sounds like he's depressed. Just working out and eating right isn't going to help him and if he is being urged or pressured to work out, it might only make it worse. He may be using food and videogames as an escape from what is going on around him. He should probably speak to a counselor and…

This is just my experience, I went from drinking lots of diet soda a day to drinking mostly water and unsweetened tea, and I feel more energetic and less foggy. It's easy to get in your daily dose of water if you get one of those 24 oz reusable travel cups with the lid and straw, then you just have to drink a few glasses…

When I was on the pill, I was first prescribed a triphasic with high doses of estrogen and my body freaked out, I gained weight, my acne got worse and I had horrible, awful mood swings. I was switched to a monophasic bc with lower estrogen and my body normalized. I wasn't trying to lose or gain weight at the time, so I…

Thank you! It is hard to see him able to eat so much and me so little, but I think I'm getting used to the amounts now. He wants to lose weight too, so I think I'm going to try to get him to start using this site as well. We love grilling and plan to do it several times a week this summer! I really appreciate your…

You can add me! I'm 27, just started a couple weeks ago, and so far I've lost 11 lbs! I'm looking to lose about 150+ (I weigh 277 today and I'm 5'1") We can do it! :)
