I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Sorry about all that tragedy in your life. 😔 I second Maureen's suggestion of joining Serial Starters....I am a member there, too. We all understand the reasons for regaining the weight. Come and join is!

  • I have a similar story. Lost 50 pounds here, but gained back 30. It's so easy to become complacent. I have lost 22 of those 30 so I am very pleased. Being diabetic keeps me mostly honest, though. Everything in moderation is my mantra as well as slow and steady wins the race. I know its hard to be patient, but it took me 10…

  • Good Afternoon! Sara, 8 pounds is 8 pounds. Whereas your neighbor.. .well it depends what he weighed when he started. The problem with losing weight quickly is that the body will try to put it back on. Slow weight is a more permanent weight loss....gives the body a chance to adjust and accept the lower weight as normal. So…

  • Good Afternoon! It would take too long for me to congratulate all of you who had losses this half, so I will do it collectively....CONGRATULATIONS! I have to say it lifts me up to see those of you who continue to challenge yourselves even if you didn't achieve a loss. It proves you are serious and are not letting a small…

  • Good Morning, friends! Day 43—06/26— Forgot to weigh myself, but its ok. It was a much better day. The temperature was about 15⁰ lower and the a/c cooled things off just fine. I got to the grocery store and got more salad greens and veggies and strawberries. I also picked up a new bathing suit I ordered from Macy's. I was…

  • I know....I hit plateaus too. Very frustrating. It does eventually break. Remember...the body fights against losing weight....it wants to maintain what it has. Hang in there!

  • Good Sunday, All! Sarah-Jane, what a beautiful view! Hope you are enjoying your afternoon! Lana, Yes, had them behind my sink....not in it. No water back there but I sprayed cleaner, which killed them all and then wiped them all up. But yesterday I found a column of them marching along my dining area baseboard! Did the…

  • Good Afternoon, Everybody! @deepwoodslady , I will keep my fingers crossed for you! I can't eat late....I end up with acid issues. @frankwbrown , whatever motivates a person is right for them. I keep my goal about a pound below what I weighed at that time but that's because I normally only lose a half pound a week. If I…

  • Good Evening! I am a day late, but back again. Yesterday was the no good very bad day. The heat was nearly unbearable. All I did was sit all day with a fan on my lap and a cold pack on my head. My apartment didn't get below 83⁰ WITH the a/c running. It was not fun. I will check up on everyone's progress tomorrow. Day…

  • Good Morning! Sara, it may be a controlling thing although I couldn't guess the underlying cause. They are very comfortable…no money worries, obviously. But she can be snobish. People tend to change with age…she has. At least to people not in their inner circle of friends....she has no issues with them. Oh....and great job…

So I went downstairs and there was a good sized box. Heavy, too. I was able to get it up to my apartment and looked on the box. It's an aquarium stand! I…

She got me a ceramic lined water bottle,…
