Welcome aboard. My youngest baby will be 15 next week, so I've finally had to retire that excuse too! :-)

Way to stick with it for the long haul and for being honest about your struggles along the way! We'll look forward to seeing even less of you next year!

22 pounds by Christmas is a totally achievable first goal! You just gotta get started....today! Good luck with your journey!

jsherrill: But for you age, yes Mineboy: Sure thing!

Rishonb: mysterious! Who is the man behind those dark shades?

You're yolking.....right??

Awesome! So inspiring to read about someone who knows no limits! You go Girl!!

Try having hummus with your fresh veggies, or add lean meats, or a little peanut butter with your apples, or boiled eggs. In general, you have to have some protein to stay full.

Awesome....it so motivating when you can SEE results!

There have been several threads recently on this topic. Do a search and you'll find lots of info. And then let us know what works. I keep reading about it, and not doing anything. Never thought about duct tape though...

Way to go! Hope you're dancing on your tippee toes all day long to celebrate this victory!

jinjin: Cute!

No....'cause I never do it! Bwahahaha!

Chew sugarless gum, so it takes thought and effort to take a bite of something else!

Been there; done that! Whoo hoo!!

Good answer, Calichica. The same goes for you!

My mother used to make something called thickened potatoes, which is potatoes boiled in some kind of sauce that includes milk and corn meal. Sounds strange, but it was the ultimate comfort food.

Hot dogs for dinner!

I think there is a learning curve. Before long you won't think so much amount it....while at the same time it keeps you from consuming empty calories without thinking!

Congratulations on making your first goal! Now you are well on your way to your second. One step at a time....

amshohs: Flutter-by! Beautiful!

Incredible! Thanks for sharing your progress!

Tambink - youthful looking!

Dinamita: content!

49 and counting. Feel free to add me!

Beautiful curls!

Pensive, Curvygirl, makes me wonder what you're thinking!

Trick or Treat! That's amazing!

Bump....going downstairs to thaw some chicken for tomorrow!

We are moving along the same trajectory! I started in May at 225 and am now 192. It looks great on you!
