welcome!! it's a great site!

okay, I'm w/ Posh....count me in......our group is trying to get down 30 lbs by Christmas, so this will add to it.........I can't do even 1 pushup, but will start out against the wall......thanks for the push!!!

Okay, nobody is ever going to believe me......I had my scale tested to see if I was just plain crazy.......I must have been filled w/ water.........I lost 17.5 lbs. this week.........it's my first time to exercise in years and to try to go by a food plan.......it sure paid off.....I'm pumped to do good, though I know I…

I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning..stayed under my calories all week.......but who knows.....my calories are set pretty high.....1740 a day for right now.......thinking that they need to come down when I get below 250.........well here's to tomorrow morning!!! yipeee

awesome, you sound so upbeat........I joined back in Sept. I believe, but didn't use the site till a little after you started.........already down 5 lbs........I'm very encouraged too!....keep up the good work!

well stated, Tim.....thanks.......though I have not suffered w/ low self-esteem, I do agree w/ your comments........and I am sure that my confidence will only grow as I lose.

cxmartza ......so you are going to start doing 20 mins a day walking right?........ok, today was my first time to do the 20 min. mile w/ the DVD.......so I'll try to do it everyday except Sunday and will check back w/ you..........we surely can give 20 mins. of our day to get healthy eh?........chau for now.....Happy…

keep encouraged

Just checking in......getting up to 7 cups of water....which is really good for me........and the thing I am proud of which is quite embarrassing is that I finally started my exercise today........did 1 mile w/ Leslie Sansone and just glad that I actually started.......looking forward to NO MORE EXCUSES and keeping at…

we all have those times........but smack that hand and say no more LOL

Friend me and we can walk "together".........I finally got up and did the Leslie Sansone DVD .....she said I walked about a mile in the 20 mins it took to do it........I felt like such an achiever, when I did so little......but after years of just teaching and doing desk work, it felt real good to put that DVD in and get…

I sure can tell a difference...........good work........keep it up.....you are inspiring me to get off my tuff!

Found it thanks!

Hey, could somebody help me....where is the spreadsheet that everybody is talking about? I can't seem to find it.........thanks!

Here in Peru, pumpkin is unknown as a sweet delight.........we eat it all the time in soup.......I really like it that way and was surprised to find it was done that way here.

hmmm....I'm concerned too......I live in Peru, so holidays are a time when we pull out all our hoarded American items to make traditional dishes........I can't imagine not indulging........I need to think this through.........any advice will be helpful!

welcome.....this was my second time to come back to it....but to be totally free and w/ so many helps...it's awesome.......

I'm interested in knowing about the Drink and Go packets they have........they are sugar-free and caffeine-free.......can they count as water?.....Anybody know out there?....I thought I remembered people saying that as long as it was calorie free and caffeine free, it could count....but not for sure...thanks in advance for…

HOLA, from Peru. Years ago I too lost over 70 lbs, but regained it all and more...........now I'm on the road again........hoping for success............keep encouraged...........Shel (a missionary in Peru)

Did you just join like me....I have a long ways to go too....would love to be friends to encourage one another!

wow, awesome pics.....keep up the good work.....I just started and would love to be friends on here for support! Thanks, Michele

I just joined.....I live and work in Peru, South America, but it seems that the schedule though busy does nothing to help with losing weight. I had no idea I was eating so many calories, until tonight when I started putting in "most" of the items that I had eaten for the day (there was more) and found myself to be at about…

Good Luck, Tony.....hey, Tina, I just joined and would love to encourage one another......I'm a missionary in Peru, but have struggled all my life with my weight problem. Like you I had no idea I was eating that many calories in a day.....a real eye opener.....feel free to add me as a friend....thanks, Michele
