Amazing! WTG! :-)

Welcome to the community! I first started thinking I could do it on my own as well. I like being involved, because it helps me stay accountable. Anyway, I think what you have been going through is normal. I have been watching my sugars closely. I generally don't bring home surgery/fatty foods because I don't want the…

Welcome back! Everyone has days like that. Just don't beat yourself up about it. Dust yourself off and try again. Today is a new day. Good luck! :-)

Thanks for the info. I checked my list, because I realized some people who were enthusiastic to start have been silent. I have seen posts by some of fitness pals that they clean out there friends list periodically. I will most likely leave it, since there are no limits on friends, as someone stated. It is probably not…

Welcome! Friends are great! The support goes a long way. You are welcome to add me if you want. :-)

Welcome! This is a great site, and the people are really suportive. It helps to make friends to stay accountable. :-)

Welcome! This is a great place to be! Congrats on your weightloss so far. Keep logging, and you will get where you want to be. :-)

Wow!!! WTG!!! You can really tell the change in your face. You look amazing!!! :-)

I had a cycling accident a few weeks back that left me with a tendon bruise on my ankle, which sounds different than your situation . I have been using a product called KT tape to give my ankle extra support, which has really helped with comfort and rehabbing it. I have provided a link about it. You can look up videos to…

Welcome from Bellevue, WA! I am almost 31 (in a matter of days) and I am looking to lose 25 or so more lbs. I have lost some before I started up for the second time, and 5 while on the site. This site has a lot of support. Friend me if you would like. :-) Lisa

I understand completely! I went through it for about month and now I have started losing. For me the key was to keep working out and eating right... also to watch my sodium, as that makes the body hold onto water weight. I only drink water, coffee (two k-cups in the morning), herbal ice tea, and sometimes very low cal…

Someone on here is just teasing you. People like what they like. Some guys like blondes, some like brunettes/black hair, some like red hair.... and some just like every type. There is someone for everyone people!!!

I definitely get that some people are telling the truth here and do not dye their hair. I have beautiful friends that have all diff hair colors. My grandma and one of my friends are red heads. They still get highlights and low lights.... this is still dying your hair people!!! I think some people think just because some of…

I really do find it hard to believe that so many women have not dyed their hair and they are close to 30. I think some people may be fibbing a bit. Natural hair color looks blah anyway. I've been getting my hair colored/highlighted since I was 14... and have had the joy of having MANY hair colors. And people are being…

I have looked at the Leki poles before... I don't mind investing the money if they will help. Thanks!

I do use a knee brace from time to time, but I try not to because I don't want my body to become relient on it. When I do a steep climb, I try to make sure and come down slow and controlled. It makes sense that the lats would take the brunt of it. Thanks!

I am going through the same thing as well! Feel free to add me. :smile:

My husband's grandpa said " Never trust a red head with black panties..." We are still trying to figure out what color his grandma's hair was before it turned grey, and no one knows.

You are probably one of the token few, because most women I know think their color is the same as when they were a child. I had black hair as a child and now it light brown. :smile: I also add light and dark pieces in it... so I dye it!

Most women don't even really know what their hair color is as adults! Anyone who says they do is probably lying! That being said, there are good looking people of all hair colors. I prefer the tall, dark, and handsom look for men - as I married a man of Mediterranean decent. This is not to say that I don't think men of…

Welcome! This is a great place to be. There is lots of support on here. Feel free to friend me if you would like. Good luck in your health journey. :-)

Welcome! I am from Washington state too. This is a great site. There is a lot of support on here. Good luck in your health journey! :-)

Welcome! There is a lot of great support on here! Good luck in you fitness/health goals! :-)

I usually will make something that is middle ground and then have different sides. Good luck! :-)

I think it depends on your feet. If you are not getting pain from them, they are probably okay for you to use. I need a lot of cushion and arch support, so I can't wear them, but I have heard some good things about them from people who can wear them.

Welcome! One cup of water is equal to 237 ml. Hope this helps. :smile:

I suggest drinking a detox tea with traditional Chinese herbs twice a day and eating a clean diet (nothing processed) for a week or two. I like Yogi detox tea and buy it by the case on Amazon. There is a book called Dr. Mao's 8 week program that incorporates detox and other healthy living tips. It is about making small…

Welcome! Thanks for sharing your story. I sure most people on here can relate to part if not all of it. I know I sure have done some crazy stuff to lose weight. Now I am just trying to do it the right way. Feel free to friend me if you would like support. Good luck on your fitness/health journey. :smile:

Congrats! Great job! :-)

Welcome! This is a great site to get motivation and ideas from others. It is also good for balance (as you were talking about). Tracking your food and fitness will definitely help you to form good patterns. It has been good for me to see my FP's eating and working out, because then I want to do the same, and it is out…
