I'm currently doing a video diary on youtube. I get on the scale and weigh in on Mondays (today was the frist monday). I can also start doing body shots as well to show progress. My screen name on youtube is missladygray, but add me as a friend here and if you start a group for weekly progress pictures, i will participate.…

Let me add that in my opinion, pregnancy was the least hardest part of parenthood/motherhood. LOL. Motherhood in general the most draining, exhausting, mind boggling, excruciating, confusing, wonderful, utterly rewarding experience I've ever had. Nothing anyone could have told me could have prepared me for it, nor could I…

In my opinion it's not sugar as a whole that is the devil, it's foods with tons of added sugars, mainly highly processed foods. I LOVE sugar so I was able to find balanced by not buying things that have figh fructose corn syrup or artificial sweetners in it. I found that when I ate things that had regular sugar in it (not…

I don't have a hardcore definition, but my idea of eating cleaner is fresh foods (fruits and vegatables), whole grains, minimal processed or artificial foods. I try to eat things that have ingredients I can understand. So if the yogurt says "non fat milk, sugar, cultures" I will eat it. If it lists a bunch of artificial…

About the only way i can stand cottage cheese in inside lasagna... which I only eat about once a year if that.

i agree wholeheartedly with this statement!

Feel free to add me as a friend (anyone). I'm logging in daily and I'm trying to reply on as many of my friends' posts as possible each day. It's good motivation and encouragement.

Good luck to you as well and congrats on being able to run longer.

I will subscribe to your channel as well. I'll be "watching". :) Thank you for replying.

*giggle* I'm not a person who is particularly likes being in front of a video camera, but I think the recording of my weight each week will make for some super accountability. :)

Since you've already gotten replies similar to what I would've said, I'll just say that breakups suck. I'm sorry you're going through it. It'll pass.Hang in there. :)

I agree (except I don't do fat free dressing, it's high in sugar). But these are all excellent tips. I would also add to drink a full glass of water before you eat anything. Drink, wait about ten minutes, then eat if you're still hungry. The water will not only help you stay hydrated, but you'll feel more full and as…

Hello to all those who have replied since I last posted. Glad to see so many people here that are either starting or are well on their way back. Seems like a lot of us have a few things in common. I'm looking forward to overcoming this weight loss with you guys. Again, if I haven't added you and you'd like to be a friend,…

Thanks. My point exactly. Some people hurt the cause more than they help it and some people just shouldn't be in your life... at least until your more stable in your changes and habits.

I agree. A 150 is what an apple and half a banana? What I'm going through is a temporary emotional situation, but i'm concerned about you yunnieh (hope I spelled your screen name correctly).

Welcome. I've been active here about a week strong and i too have about 80 lbs to lose. We're in it together!

This is fantastic. I'm very happy for your success.

Blair Underwood, Taye Diggs & Omar Epps... oh and Anderson Cooper (I know he's gay, but he's a cutie).

So glad to meet all of you and glad I'm not alone in this long journey.

I've been taking Thyroid Essentials supplement which seems to be helping me. I'm against medication or surgery. I'm also just starting on my weight loss journey, but knowing that my thyroid was part of the issue has made it easier for me to focus on my health and not beat myself up about being fat.

Cake by Rihanna (can't belive I've admitting that) and You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine by lou Rawls. LOL.

Haha. I will say that the bank of boobs is the best place to keep money or debit cards if you don't want to carry a wallet!

I have a slice and a half for lunch today. Spinach, chicken and alfredo pizza. Yum! It was store bought though. Still tasted great to me.

Don't eat any of it for 30 days. If you can make it those first 30 days (or at the very least the first 21) and then you try to eat that stuff, your body won't even like the taste of it.

It's odd, but if I try to put all of my daily water requirements in a large jug or water bottle, I can't suck it down to save my life. So i drink a bunch of little glasses (regular old 8 ounce or 16 ounce cups/glasses) and it seems to work fine. I also am having better success NOT drinking ice cold water. For some reason,…

:happy: A lot of you have already lost a lot of weight. That is awesome. I'm very inspired.

Nice to meet everyone.... not necessarily under these circumstances, but honestly I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a bit more than a little ways to go. I usually fall off after about ten pounds, so I'm in serious need of some stick-to-it-ness (if that's a word). LOL. So far, I'm enjoying losing weight and eating…

I'm in. Age: 32 Unofficial SW: 247 CW: 239 GW: 160 (and then we'll see). Height: 5'6 Feel free to add me anyone!

i usually just weigh at the same time in the morning with my pajamas on. I do occasionally check other times and scales, but the only weight I record is the morning weight whenever I do record it.

I too am an OCD optimist (first time i've heard it phrased that way). I watch/take in anything positive I can get my hands on. I find myself watching LOTS of various YouTube videos that are positive, informational, funny, etc. Anything I can do to get my daily fix of cheer. :) Congrats on doing this for you. I haven't…
