Hi...I have Crohn's disease. I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I struggled with it a lot at first and hit a pretty low period about a year and a half ago. My doc wanted to put me on remicade. I didn't want to go on something for the rest of my life so I went on pentasa and dicyclomin. I still had flare ups every month or so…

I second Sammy. :) Current Weight: 133.8 Starting Weight of Challenge: 135 Goal Weight: 125

Glad you girls are doing well and sounds like good things are happening! :) I had a bad day today....I had parent teacher conferences so my kiddos left at 11:45 and then I had conferences off and on until 8 tonight. Had to eat from school which was great, but PTO provided dinner and there were so many sweets (my weakness).…

For filling breakfasts, I usually do some form of a shake...whey powder with some yogurt, skim milk, PB and 1/2 a banana (with ice). Ends up tasting like a banana split.....if you use your imagination. Today I did yogurt, little cooked oatmeal, fresh strawberries and milk. Yum. The other thing I like about shakes, besides…

I know that some people feel otherwise, but if I'm under on my calorie count because of exercise and I'm not hungry, I don't necessarily eat just to make up those calories. I never let myself have lower than a 1350 calorie day because that's my BMR. Most days that's not a problem of course (because I love to eat!), but…

Gertrude Hawk chocolate peanut butter smidgetts thingys should be illegal...I only gave into one, and still plan to meet the 30 minute cardio challenge!

Glad for the 30 min. cardio challenge...haven't been to the gym in forever and need to go. Had a good day today eating wise and did tons of yard work beacuse it's so nice out. :) Yard work isn't necessarily fun...but...burning the calories is nice. :)

Looking like a big group, but I'd love to join too if it's not too late. I'm at 136 now, and would like to be 125...More than that though, I'd love to have more confidence in myself for who I am (inside AND out). I never seem to motivate myself enough, and would love to have some friends out there that can motivate…

I feel like we all have this problem...and everyone seems to have a unique solution that works for them. I generally wear two but then I always end of feeling hot and clastrophoic...you just can't win!

I feel like I'm reading about myself! I am the same way. Sometimes I want to hide eating food because I don't want my husband to think I'm crazy for still being "hungry" or still wanting more. I think there's lots of great suggestions that people gave on what to do with sweet cravings and I'm going to try some. Thanks for…

Thanks for all the tips! :)

Hi! Thanks so much for your encouragement...I also love the Bible verse you included. It is one I live by. Congrats on your weight loss so far! :)
