Please send me an invite if I'm not too let to join in. Thanks!

I don't even know where to start on this... Okay, of course natural foods = weighing less. If you live off of fresh, natural foods you probably do not need to watch your calories, but I don't live on a farm. I have to rely on the junk in grocery stores and in restaurants. Our diets today are so calorie dense, and our…

I'm in! I have two measurable goals: 1) lose 15 lbs. I will do Monday weigh ins (starting next Monday) making my starting weight 180.8 (today's weight.) So, by 3/17 I want to be 165lbs. Also, I want to run 10 miles every week, 2 miles per day. Guys, I have been known to be all in for a week or so and then taper off so if…

I really do not understand why everyone is so concerned with the success/failure of others. Your journey to health is yours. Focus on that. Everyone has that event/time/feeling/thought that happens when they decide to change their lives. And for some that occurs when they reflect on the past year and come to the…

[/quote] Can't agree more... I also resent the fact that my gym will be a zoo until like January 15th. [/quote] So true. January is the only month where I go to the gym at 6 am instead of PM, lol. There are just too many people there after work.

Hey, I too am re-starting, again. I don't have an excuse, just bad eating habits and not enough exercise. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

just got Chanel parfum. love it!

you look great! i can't wait to be able to wear stripes, lol. seriously tho, great job!!!

I have read so many posts like this one. Sometimes it is hard to notice results, especially if you are watching for them. I will bet that if you posted before/after pics we would all notice a difference. Not specifically asking you to do so like a creeper, but I'm just saying don't be too hard on yourself, and try not to…

^^^ yeah... those too.

fitted dresses. every day.

Agreed! vegetarian for 2 months now and the change in energy levels, sleep quality and general "lightness" is amazing!

were in the same boat! i'm 27 and have about 50lbs to lose. feel free to add me. im on here every day and try to make sure my friends are on here every day as well.

I've actually seen it, and yes. The food is disgusting. I am also a vegetarian. I am not vegan, although I do not drink milk or consume butter, my only weakness is cheese. I make sure to get plenty of lean protein (beans/tofo/vegetable) and calcium and watch my diet carefully. For the most part, I am very healthy. since I…

Naw, you're not rude. I know the food is terrible, but it is comfort. I can't explain it. Someone else on this message board compared dropping fast food to an alcoholic trying to remain sober. I have not had the alcohol problem (thank goodness) but I have quit smoking and the cravings are very similar. It is all about…

I love that you don't get depressed about gaining the weight back. I love your motivation! I have lost weight in the past (although not as successfully as you), and I too have gained it back. Im back on track and so excited to see results again! best of luck to you on this journey, I know you can do it again! Feel free to…

welcome! im new too and always looking for new friends. feel free to add me.

I tried "So Delicious" coconut milk yogurt this morning for the first time. the name did not lie. i will never go back to dairy yogurt. ugh.

girl, you look great! congratulations on all of your success. you are an inspiration for those like me just starting our journey.

I have the exact same problem! glad to know it's not just me. thanks for all the tips guys!

hey Alisha, I am in the same boat. I have been a member here since May but have only very recently begun to take weight loss, and more importantly, my health, seriously. Would love to have some new friends for support :)

The first time I ever dieted (seriously) was on the weight watchers program. I was ecstatic because I lost 10lbs the first week! I thought "losing weight is easy!" and then I realized that your system gets used to your new diet very quickly and that first boost does not last long. A much more healthy rate of loss would be…
