I love that Falcon! I may have to try your method. Mine is less healthy, but when I need sweets I get into the sugar free popcicles! mmmm.......sweet, crunchy and I can have a second without a lot of guilt, when needed. :happy:

Hi KKDavis! Glad you are here. :flowerforyou: You're right. This site is really cool! I am new, also.

You made me curious with your question so I went online and looked. This is the information I found:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080102214705AAvzcLd "It's the same thing. It's not an English word, and wasn't spelled with the same alphabet, to there might be some variation in the way it's transliterated to…

Ha! You are so funny! That was part of my breakfast, too. I am having a hard time myself with the whole bathroom thing. I have never consumed so much water in my life. It is a wonderful thing, though, because it does keep my hunger down. (Which I had been told in the past was mistaken hunger when I was really only…

You mean we can see results after just one week?!?!?! Yay! Thanks for being such a motivator! woo-hooo!

Me Too!! I missed church Sunday because I couldnot find anything to wear! And, I have a couple pair of "fat pants" that I alternate between during the week for work! And they, too, are uncomfortable, now. I feel your pain. I don't know that I will ever be on time again for work because of my stupid clothes!

You go girl! You have found an incredible site with so many tools that you have to be successful. Congrats and good luck!

:smile: Wow, Kmeduna! What a story. It is sad to hear about your first marriage and I am sorry that happened to you. I guess, though, without the loss of the first, you would not have met your current. How exciting to see that you have someone at home to do this with. I am new to this site and also think it is an awesome…

Thank you HopTuNaa...what are penguin stix?

Ha! I realize when I am trying to run, jog, move quickly that I need to slim down the rear. For a while there I thought someone was following me be then I realized it was only my ever-growing backside!:tongue:

I have a question about breakfast. I have NEVER been a breakfast person...really just a coffee person. :drinker: I have been told over and over (for months now) if you eat breakfast, it starts your metabolism, you eat less later, etc... However, when I have tried to eat breakfast, it has backfired in my face. I understand…

Good Luck! I hope that you not only start strong, but continue strong. It is great you have someone to do this with. There is much more potential to continue your workout/weight loss routine when you have someone you are doing it with. That is awesome!! I believe you can do it and get rid of those extra 50lbs and gain…
