Great job Deb and Holly!!! ANY loss is a good loss! And it is the opposite of a gain. Plus, you both lost after a big holiday that is usually filled with fattening foods! I'm so proud for both of you!!! Susie

I'm so glad the scales moved "south!" haha! Great news! I'm always so happy when the scales move, even if just a little bit! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Holly, I know you've been super busy! I just hope you take some time to just relax and rest some. You need it! Have a wonderful day!

PS -- Holly, I love your pic! I want to be a great picture taker! I've thought about taking a class at our local junior college in photography. One of my best friends is a fabulous photographer. She knows how to get just the right shot. Her daughter is very skilled as well. I also want to learn Spanish. on my bucket list!

Well, my friends, I love to read! I know, not exciting. I do not have time when school is in session to read or do much of anything else. So, in the summers, I read. In the Fall and most of the year, I go in very early and I work late. My work is difficult to keep "caught up." So, during my spare time during the school…

Hey Cassie! Nice to meet you. I am Susie and I have about the same amount to lose as you do! I love cherries too! Hope we can become good friends!

Thank you, Holly. I am stronger today and more determined than ever to beat this addiction of mine. I'm so glad we have a good support system going. It helps a lot!

Well....I'm sad to report I did not lose at all this week. Or last week. I didn't gain. I've done a lot of soul searching, and I've come up with the following: 1. I need to eat more fresh veggies. 2. I am able to walk longer and farther without aching or getting winded. Maybe I'm adding some muscle. 3. I haven't been…

Well, I was an addict. Diet Sunkist or Diet Dr. Pepper. LOVED THEM BOTH and I still do. I cut way back in April. Then I ran out one day and couldn't get to the store. I realized I started losing better, I think because of water retention. The diet sodas bloat me a little and make my body hold on to water. When I first cut…

Thanks! I love it! I don't know why it looks gold. It is sterling silver. I wanted a good one so it would last forever! I'm really proud of this bracelet and what it represents! This was a great idea!

OOPS! Not sure how to fix that. At least the shoe and watch charms show!

If this works, it hopefully will show my brand new bracelet! From left, it is a tennis shoe (I have been walking every day), a working watch charm (it is TIME to get control), a floating heart, an R initial (for my niece, Rachel, who was and is my inspiration), and a green 4 leaf clover for good luck! Susie

Congratulations on the loss and on having the strength to not wear the bracelet until now! I can't wait till mine comes, but I won't have 6 yet! Awesome for you! :happy:

I really like it! I have ordered mine, but it isn't here yet!

Congratulations!!!! Man! I don't think I have ever heard of someone losing 170 pounds in one year! Incredible loss!! And 80 pounds for your wife is amazing as well. Hats off to both of you, and wish you continued success in your new lifestyle. Thanks for posting, it does give others encouragement and hope!!

I just ordered the charm bracelet!! Double link, longer, and with the small watch charm. It actually works! I ordered a few charms as well. A four leaf clover, an R initial for my niece, rachel, who was my inspiration to start eating healthier, and others. I'll share a pic when I get them!

I think you both are right! I found one on overstock.com that is bigger around than most, maybe 8.5 inches, so it will fit. It is a link and may be a double link. It has one charm already on it, a small clock, and I thought...hmmmmm I like this one because I've been saying IT IS TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES! LOL. So, my first…

Hey Y'all! Yes, I'm sourthern! I am Susie, and I am so happy to be part of this group. I am 51, a teacher, and I am a very organized person. I am very disciplined....except in this one area of my life. I don't know why I never applied that ability to my eating habits, but better late than never! I do not have children,…

I saw a very pretty 4 leaf clover yesterday. I am thinking seriously about it for my first good luck charm! :happy:

I will have between 28-30 charms! I am super excited! I went yesterday to look for a bracelet, but didn't find one I liked. Will keep looking. I saw a beautiful link necklace I nearly bought, knowing it was perfect to add charms. But, I decided to go with the bracelet idea because it is something I can wear every day for…

I am learning so much from you! Never, ever have I heard of Jimica. Gonna try it! And Milo! :smile:

:happy: I don't have chocolate cravings and I don't love chocolate. I know, not possible right? LOL. But, I do have cravings of other things, mainly carbs....and that is what put most of my weight on. I love pizza and bread and all things carbs. Induling sometimes isn't such a bad thing. Log it into your food diary. Try a…

I love cottage cheese, but I've NEVER thought of it with a baked potato. SOUNDS GREAT! I'm going to try it. :happy:

:smile: Hi, I am Susie and am from Alabama. I am also new to the fitness pal. I just joined today! I started on my weight loss journey just 4 days ago. I would enjoy being friends for help, support, and encouragement!
