I was looking into this, too because it's close to what I'm already doing and seeing results and feeling much better. It seems balanced, which is most important to me. I'm not eating meat of any kind so I won't be eating fish and rarely drink wine. It makes sense!

You're my height and were at my start weight and now at my goal weight! You're my new inspiration!!! How lovely and healthy you are!!

Not smoking AND walking 4 miles! Fantastic and it shows!! Stay healthy!!

Love it!!

I really love Myplate.gov for a reference for balanced nutrition. There are charts to help and ideas for families.

Haha--censored! How did they know I wasn't thinking he was a whale!!

Love it!! Congratulations!!

This isn't a punishment--just my idea of good fun, but if there was a sprinkler hanging out in the road I would put their window down, locking it on my side and drive as close to the sprinkler as I could giving them a good "rinse" right in the kisser and laugh and laugh and laugh! My grown daughter says I'm the only mother…

I rarely drink and it would be wine if I did. As many here have said, I saw far too much drunkenness at an early age.

If you've just started on the meds, it takes time to rebuild and get your levels to where they should be. I'm so glad you're here and not giving up! There are many of us with hypothyroidism--please feel free to add me!

Love it!!

I love seeing everyone's eyes after they've lost weight and yours are sparkling and beautiful! You look so healthy and I love how much further down the hem on the dress is on the recent picture!! Stay healthy!

I'm not able to see the photos! Congratulations!!!

Haha!! Great!!

Welcome! I've lost 11 pounds in just about 8 weeks -- and I have a long way to go but my focus has been on "balanced nutrition and fitness" rather than "diet and exercise". Learn as much as you can about nutritional balance. Myplate.gov is a good start. There are charts for each food group that will tell you how much you…

Looks good. Stay with as many non processed foods as you can. Opt for a fresh apple or some grapes rather than the Gatorade chews. Take in lots of veggies. You've got lots of whole grains, too! I always suggest looking at myplate.gov for portion sizes. They've got great charts for how many fruits, veggies, protein, etc by…

Well done and great idea to send the rest home with friends. My birthday is on Saturday so you've given hope! Happy Birthday!!

Fantastic and congratulations!!

Holy Cow!! That's fabulous!! Congratulations on your new found health! Isn't it amazing when what we CAN'T see matches what we CAN see!! Feel free to add me--you're an inspiration.

My best pals are the ones that notice and comment on specifics of my eating. They're there to help me and I value their comments. I had low calories one day and a pal asked if I was feeling OK--I wasn't. ninelives58 is a caring person--not nosey.

That's wonderful! So much nicer than to not be recognized because of weight! Can't wait till I catch up with you!!
