Feel free to add me. I log on daily and motivate as much as I can. You can do this and we're here to help. :flowerforyou:

Haha! Got a kick outta reading all these. Some people are going to be lonely, lol. I haven't dated in sooo long, I wouldn't know but from past relationships and experience... lying, cheating and smokers. Ugh. Hope you're getting some good ideas. :flowerforyou:

I've used it quite a bit at times. No dreams for me. The only thing the pharmacist cautioned was to not take it for over a month straight. You wouldn't want to get dependant on it. I found it no problem at all and you aren't groggy or anything like that in the morning. The mint chocolate ones are good, just melt under your…

Love it, thanks!

Thanks for adding me. Keep up the great work!

I think I might fit in perfectly. ;) :tongue:

Great to have you as a friend babydiego87! You'll get there in no time!! :D

Thanks Cindijelly! Yours will come too!

Thanks! Looking forward to it!

Hi Heidi, Thanks for you reply. I just had a long message ready to send back to you and I pressed backspace to correct an spelling error and have lost it all. :explode: :sad: Now, it's going to be a while before I can retype it. Sorry, will chat with you in a bit. :smile:

I'll join you! I have my last 10 pounds to go, looking for more motivational friends to draw ideas from and be support to them as well. I have been going strong since the end of December and easing up a bit for a few days to the end of March. Come April 1st, I'll be going stronger than ever! Ideas, ideas... What I've been…

Hi everyone, I have been back only a week and am committed to get through this! I am here daily and have a challenge out there to all my friends for January. If you want motivation, add me. You can even join my challenge whenever you're ready. Marghowe, go ahead and add me. I will try my best to help you.

Depending on what you drink, there are plenty of calories in booze and the mix. Plus, alcohol lowers metabolism by as much as 70%!! I like a few drinks every so often but in my January Challenge to myself, along with my exercise and food rules, I am cutting alcohol completely. If you don't log it, you are only hurting…

I'm sorry that you have to go through that. I'm divorced and am now taking care of MYSELF FIRST! I have a challenge going out to all my friends for January. Just extra motivation and support for all of us. Feel free to add me as a friend and join me in my challenge whenever you are ready to. :flowerforyou:

Awesome ladies! Martina99, I forgot to say that I'm not drinking all month either. Those calories sure add up! Rosepower, nothing wrong with starting slow, those are still awesome goals! And lovable69, that's a great goal too. Good luck everyone!

Your best choices will always be a big variety of veggies and fruit. The darker or greener the veggie, the better it will be for you. Choose lots of bright colors. I love sweet potato and it's good for you. You can just toss in a little oil and spices and bake. Avoid anything processed. The shorter the list of ingredients…

I agree, walking is the best. You can also start with some very light weights, 1 or 2 pounds, or stretchy bands, for resistance training. Just ease into it, very light and easy to start. The more muscle you build, the faster you will lose weight. Good luck. :smile:

I know someone who is getting a butterfly emerging from a cocoon on a branch, with flowers. It will signify weight loss for her and I think it's a beautiful idea.

Hello! I am so happy that I joined My Fitness Pal! To be honest, I joined a long time ago but never used it. Yesterday, I thought, I'm so over this! I need something more to help me through this because I sure can't do it on my own! Another thing I should have mentioned...I don't even have to go outside to work out. I have…

I found a DVD I love from Value Village, of all places! It's 10 Days to a Better Body by Results Fitness. The trainer is Cindy Whitmarsh. As the name says, you go for 10 days, alternating lower and upper. Takes about 35 minutes each day. I can definitly see a difference as the days goes by. I just searched online and see…
