Hi All, Just dropping in to say HHHHHHHEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!! I will be back to catch up during the week. I really need to come back to log intake and get all the support this week. I have been off track for two days really, but not overdoing it. I am getting back on track tomorrow, and my mom is coming along for the ride!!!!…

Hello everyone!!! Welcome Caite and BNlaura!!! As I tell everyone who joins us, HOPE YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS WE DO. Everyone here is great and quite supportive. We would love to share with you too. Indeed BNlaura, I would love to know what has worked for you so far. Caite, it is ok to work at the pace that works for…

Just thought I would stop by and say... Way to go. YOu have used that negative energy and chanelled it in the right direction!!! :drinker:

Oh, I forgot! Do you guys know about Walden Farms NO CALORIES, NO FAT, NO CARBS, NO SUGARS: dressings, sauces, p. butter, jellys, etc.???? I just found them yesterday, and am baffled at why on earth all products are not made like them. I tried their shrimp sauce and ranch dressings yesterday, and almost fell out of my…

Hi everyone. Just stopping by to say HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY!!! and that I am still around, but just extremely busy this week. I have lots of work to do before I leave on Friday, and I don't have much time to be online. I will catch up on what's been going on later this evening (if I don't fall asleep from exhaustion :sick:…

:flowerforyou: WELCOME BACK AMYNVEGAS!!!! I was not here when you started this thread, but I have been wondering where you disappeared to. I have been wanting to thank you so much for starting this... it is a wonderful thread and as you can see there are many more cool peeps on here. Sorry that you kind of got…

Hello everyone! Hope we are all doing well today, and exceeding our expectations. Reedwoman814, sorry to hear of your slow progress, but at least you are back on track. Personally I don't think 40lbs. in 6 months is too much, as long are you are eating healthy and excercising. I think for people our size the weight comes…

:glasses: So as you can see, 4 more lbs down... This time I really did not know what to expect... but I am happy with it!!! Sadly, I find out that I can't have sugarless gum!!! :grumble: I was having a stick maybe 3 times a week, and that is a no no!!! Oh well. StillK, Thank you, thank you... I am happy to be back. It is…

Hi everyone!!! I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCK! Hello to our new members!!!! You will love it here. Way to go all on your WL and all the efforts you have put in this past week. Slowly but surely we will attain our goals. Craig, thank you for posting and I hope you will stick around! I think the main reason I failed…

Wow, wow, wow.... so much happened in a few days!!! Welcome to all the new members! Glad to have you with us. StillK, I am going to start calling you "Team Recruiter"... you seem to always find awsome people to join our group. I had so much to read up on, I don't know where to start. As my time is limited today, I will say…

Just saw this post, and could not help but chime in. :happy: I have been on one for the past 4 months, and It is working very well for me. I was quite amazed at first when my physician told me about it, but after researching and actually starting it, I find it even more amazing what my body is capable of. It is indeed a…

Hello all! Hope you are all having a wonderful day! Great job everyone! I see we are all dedicated and pumped to attain our goals. YYYAAAAAAAAY!!!! Thanks StillK and MPJS! :blushing: Wow, I wish I could get on a bike, Cindysunshine... but I think that is the one thing I am afraid of. I used to ride as a child, way way back…

Hello everyone. Hope you are all having a wonderful day! Welcome to the new members!!!! :flowerforyou: We are glad to have you. The more the merrier!:drinker: Paddlemom, I totally get you... It's funny how he thinks he is helping but in reality, he is instead annoying you. Keep your head up, and keep positive. Tune it out,…

Hello everyone!!!! Wow, what a difference a few days makes... I missed a lot, but am all caught up with the reading. I am happy that everyone is doing so great. Keep it up guys. First and foremost, BlazinE, I am so sorry to read about your father. Pls know that you and your family are in my prayers. Second, a BIG…

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! WAY TO GO STILLK!!! Great news.

Congrats on begining your journey!!!! I have absolutely no cravings anymore. When I start to think of the bad food I should not be craving, I immediately think of something else... like shopping in a few months for new clothes; i pick up the phone and chat with someone... start listening to music... whatever will keep my…

By the way, what's happened to AmyNVegas? does anyone know? I hope she is ok.

Hello everyone. Hope we are all having a happy Thursday!!! :flowerforyou: StillK, you are looking great. Love the new pic. I almost did not recognize you! wow. What a big difference 24 lbs. makes... (have you not updated your ticker? :wink: ) And funny thing, I ordered my first scale yesterday... yay. Food scale that is!…

Hello everyone. It's nice to see that we are all updating on the regular, it is great support! StillK, indeed my diet is quite strict. It is after coming on here that I am learning a lot more than just what my Doc told me. I am sticking to his foods mainly cause they are easy, and I wanted to kick start my "lifestyle…

Welcome to our little family!!! :flowerforyou: You will love it here. I know I do. You will get all the support you need here. I am 5'8 and started at 309... how funny, we are almost the same :laugh: Keep your head up my dear... your metab will speed up and you will be surprised at how the weight will come off. Are you…

It's a deal Stillkristi... :happy: I just came back from my weigh in and am down another 8lbs... 1 week!!! I could not believe it and they had to weigh me again. :drinker: Now I really am convinced that exercising makes a world of difference. I only do 20-30 minutes of cardio, and now have started with the resistance…

Hello there, and happy Sunday to you too. Over here in GA, or at least in Dacula (minus the r :tongue: ) it's been overcast all day and now its drizzling. I was indoors all day, but did not mind cause I had lots of work to catch up on. It is great that you two get to cook and come up with your own recipes. I will take…

WELCOME BlazinEmerald. You will love it here and find great encouragement! Thanks Stillkristi for the thumbs up. :flowerforyou: and that info on fitness. I was just sticking to cardio, but I think I will incorporate the strength training too on the days I don't cardio. I have read that it is good to mix things up a bit, to…

Congrats!!! I am nowhere near maintenance yet, but I think I will follow your thread so I can take notes along the way... This is one of the things that scares me most: when I am done, how do I keep the weight off?:huh:

Thanks for that info msarro! Good idea about the word "Diet". I refer to my program as my "new way of life". :wink: Great advice Paddlemom! Feelings and the emotional aspect are very important. I have been reading about that. And like msarro, my issue was that I could go days without eating, then bam! I could have an…

Thanks Yankeesgirl and Stillkristi (I just had a great read) :happy: lots of valuable info. I will look into those sites. One thing I am already practicing is not weighing myself everyday. I will do it every Monday at home, and every 15 days at my doctor's. That really works so far, cause I don't have to worry about the…

Hello All... I am soooo glad i found you guys, and AmyNVegas! GREAT IDEA!!! Thanks so much for starting this. I was ignored for a few days on another thread, but I guess it is because I was a newbie and the others pretty much knew each other and were so much further in their weight loss than I was. So thank you again. Now…
