  • Funny, I just found some crystal lite packages in the drawer and was drinking some with my water when I logged on.

  • Hi ladies! I wish I could send some snow to Houston, we have had enough of it in Michigan, hubby just raked of the roof again since we are supposed to get freezing rain and wind Thursday/Friday ...good grief what next?

  • I quit all diet soda a year ago February and I definitely noticed the differences...(I drank up to 6 a day or more) I have been drinking diet pop since a teenager and my muscle aches n pains went away about a month after quitting and I just drink water now...much better.

  • Feel free to add me, I am on daily. I am part of the 200 plus group and looking at "one-der-land" as my next goal. I could use some motivation to keep me going to and accountability helps lol. Good luck on your journey!
  • Hi, I have been in the same situation but a microwave is like $50.00 and a small fridge say $70.00..worth buying and putting in the room, that's what we did, you will get tired of eating out fast and most companies will reimburse grocery receipts or a per diem/day for food expense, worth checking with hr if in doubt.…

  • Hello All, New to this thread but not to weight loss. I was reading how many of you walk with your dogs! I do the same, Ryan and I walked early this a.m. and it was a chilly 12 degrees for an hour but we made it. I recently lost my little walking buddy after 15 years and Ryan is trying to fill the void without her. I have…
  • Hi, In my "younger days" I was a female weight lifter. When I started I paid for a trainer to get a routine to "target" certain areas then starting lifting in contests after a year. I did cardio then we did mostly free weights, not a big fan of the machines, free weights require body to do more balancing and control. The…

  • HI, I order Brooks running shoes for my walking, they run around $110.00/pair but I love them and they fit my feet! I have ordered and worn them for years and they hold up great and wear wonderfully. I don't skimp when it comes to my shoes and I also wear them for golfing without any problems. Good luck!
  • I was a diet coke freak, I never drank coffee but after breakfast so began the diet coke drinking..I drank 8-10 a day. I quit "cold turkey" a year ago February, it was hard and I had the horrible headache for 2 days but I don't miss it now, it can't be healthy to drink. On the holidays I have a caffeine free pop as a…
  • I had sleep apnea too but it is gone for the most part after losing almost 32 pounds. Hubby noticed I only snore about once a week now and I no longer use my CPAP machine. Sleep on your side or stomach if possible, that helps some what but weight loss is the solution I'm thinking! good luck on your journey and keep on…
