Thank you for giving me hope!

Thank you Mark and Dave.... I started a run/walk program about 2 weeks ago, and it is so difficult for me that i just got completely demotivated within the first two weeks..... I couldn't get past day 2 of the program (running habit in 30 days) - This sounds so much more doable - thank you for giving me the belief that I…

South-African living in South-Korea!

This topic is hilarious! I've only been on here a week and I already recognize most of these signs (except I don't look like the poor boy (girl) in over-sized clothes yet! Thanks for the laugh!

My husband to whom I've been married for 4 years, is almost 5 years younger than me. I only realized this after we had been dating for about 7 months.... Age is a number. If you are attracted to the guy don't even think about age!

I'll join your group any day... I also tried to join the other group, but it was closed. 100 and higher is a daunting number, especially at the beginning. I've even decided to now change my setting from kg's to pounds because in my head it just sounds better that I have lost 9.9 pounds....(instead of 4.5 kgs!) The mind is…

Excellent! Well done! Amazing!! Never has being 'normal' been such a great achievement! Did I mention Amazing?

The only thing that matches is the hairline! Well done on a fantastic achievement! Enjoy the great life that you've created for yourself. I'm in awe....

I can honestly say that I don't get hungry often! But, that being said, I try my best to get in all the calories, and eat back my exercise calories... there's a reason why I am fat ... not eating regular meals because I'm hardly ever hungry, then eating too much of the wrong things at the wrong times when I do decide to…

Hi I'm Henriette. Elri1908 is a combination of ELizabeth + HenRIette (my given names) and my date of birth! I'm South-African and currently live in Korea..... any other SAFFAS out there? I feel very lonely!:sad: BTW: Profile picture is not me.... it is a 'wannabe' picture! Got quite a load of bad habits to shake off!…

Same here! I started trying it today, might I say VERY RELUCTANTLY .... I really hope it works for me! Day 1 was a challenge!

This post is very educational. I'd like to save it to come back to later. Is that possible (sorry, new user)

I come from a fat family and wasn't taught anything about healthy eating by either of my parents. When my daughter was little, I controlled her food strictly - I controlled her salt intake, packed healthy lunches, bought her healthy snacks (she was allowed to eat treats) etc. When she started school I realized that it…

Thanks for the mail Nikki - I've just ordered the video from Amazon and hopefully it will reach me in Korea very soon! I can't wait after seeing your amazing results!

What is this 30 Day Shred???? Sorry, I'm a new member and as ignorant as they come!:blushing:

Well done! That IS something to be proud of. I hope all of us struggling to get there will eventually achieve the same good results.

Now that makes more sense if you say it that way....

You've been on this site since October 2011, and you've posted 985 times. Your ticker stands at zero.... I understand your disappointment, but your remarks are not helping people looking for support.

Well said!

Well said! Sorry forgot the quote!

Wow! You give me hope! Well done for sticking with it!

I'm addicted to studying (among other things....) 1) BA - Double Major (Education & Psychology) 2) BCom - Accounting 3) Post Grad dip in Taxation (did not complete....) 4) Post Grad dip in Human Resource Management 5) TEFL & CELTA 6) Currently busy with PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) - back to square 1 Do I…

Thank you for the advice on the groups .... I'm going to look into it straight away.

Thanks for the advice .... so here goes: If you are over 40, female, with a seemingly impossible goal to reach and willing to "Just do it!" then PLEASE add me as a friend! :smile:

My goals are a little more modest - I'm going to run/walk a 5km in November. I started training today. I signed up for the newsletter 3 Weeks to a 30-Minute Running Habit: on About.com's running and jogging site. Of all the sites I visited today, this seemed the most appropriate for me. There are many related articles -…
