Good for you!

I would have to do the same as I buy the INDUSTRIAL size tub/vat of peanut butter..... ugh!

I was told that about the Atkins diet too...... He slipped on some ice and died of a head injury! Geezzzz

Congratulations to you! Keep up the good work, you are looking fantastic! I'm sure you're feeling better mentally and physically too! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

You are going to have your good days and bad days. Just put it behind you and keep moving forward! You have to take care of yourself to be able to take care of everyone else. I was on that same rollercoaster ride for years before I learned that lesson! You can do it!

Sexy eyes

Neck Gaiter? I have one too! Love it!

I layer up and I live in Northern Michigan so we have a lot of snow and ice here. I have Yaktrax Pro to strap on my boots/shoes (depending on how deep the snow is) to help me keep from slipping. I also picked up a pair of UnderArmor winter running pants that are water resistant, they are very comfortable and kept me dry in…

I'm with you on those! I have found myself enjoying the sugar free flavors!

I have found sugar free Coffee-mate flavored creamers made by Nestle for 15 calories per Tablespoon and I love their flavor. I do a lot of label reading though. Good luck in your search!

I use Splenda with the powdered creamer as well.... I like that too.:smile:

Congratulations! You have got to feel so good! I can't wait to be there myself!

Good for you! You are an inspiration! :flowerforyou:

I'm 5'8" feel free to add me if you like! I know what it means to be able to carry weight well.

You won't be sorry. I have been on the 17DD since 06.04.12 and have lost 53 pounds. I have a long way to go because I had over 100 pounds to lose but I feel great and I am really not suffering. I even "cheat" once in a while. It's all about lifestyle change. I'm here for ya!:flowerforyou:

I agree with your findings.... I have found that the cycling type diets work because they have figured out how the body is burning the fat. You really state it so that it is easy to comprehend. Thanks

I am 5' 8" and have the same problem.... What the heck is up with that? lol

I am 5' 8".... pretty average... but feel free to add me.

Me too..... anyone can feel free to add me..... We all need the support! :drinker:

Feel free to add me as a friend. I've been on 17DD since June 4th and have lost 39.5 pounds thus far. I am loving this diet!:love:

Thank you for sharing! How brave of you to post your pics for everyone! You are an amazing attractive woman and should be proud of yourself!

Congratulations to you! You will over come what you set your mind to!

Do you have this app on your phone? That's how I found this site to begin with. But I find it very helpful while I'm out because I can add my foods to my diary and that helps me stay under control. When I have the cold hard facts right in front of me, I behave myself instead of blindly indulging and not really knowing how…

I find just by doing my diary right after I eat something I am more concious of what I am doing. And I try to do my diary right after I eat so I don't forget anything.

Thanks for the laugh!:drinker:

I understand your pain. I had a hysterectomy in January and put on 30 pounds since. I am the biggest I have ever been! But I have decided that I am not going to be like this forever. Just by signing up you have made up your mind to do something about it just like the rest of us. Feel free to friend me if you feel you need…

I too am new here. Trying to get back into a healthier me at my mid-life point. Good luck to all of us!:drinker:
