Well, I got married at my (then) heaviest ever 230 at the time and a I felt like a princess. I see you all and I know you want to lose - but you LOOK GOOD - you look right now how I thought I had to look then. I look back and I don't remember the weight, I remember the dress and the vows and the day. So, don't be hard on…

Hey there Neva - I've been up and down myself and resolved that today is a new start for me too. :) Started by throwing away all the Christmas JUNK that none of us need! Let's do this Neva!

Sorry to hear about the dog..... That would be tough. :(

And a cold bike ride actually sounds GREAT! :)

Ditto!

5 hours to go for me!!!!!!!!!! Long night - got about 3 hours sleep (interrupted) today - so tonight is kind of heck! :) Let's do it!

My 2 faves - mix plain ricotta with a bit of vanilla (or even ORANGE) extract, add a smidge of Splenda, stir and eat. I knew someone who added toasted almonds to that. I like it without. Next is similar, but add some pumpkin pie filling, canned pumpkin, whatever. Enjoy!

ditto - 44 - still want to lose over 100 pounds. :) Trish

Last couple days seems like.

I'm just getting on track myself this last month - you can do it!!!!!!!!!!! Trish

Seems like there is never enough time - I like the no excuses, go to the gym at 3:15 gal - YOU GO! :) Great inspiration.
-
You know, I go for total calories and if something is logged in breakfast or lunch or dinner..... so be it. I do have a midnight cut off. Before midnight is one day, after midnight goes on the next day. Just easier to keep track of and it evens out. Also helps, I have the app that helps if you cannot get on MFP at night at…

Matt - you've got this! That sounds stressful - and YOU ARE HERE - you can do it! And you know what you ate wasn't great, not like my old days of "I never lose weight" as I'm stuffing Sonic in my face. You can do it! :) Trish
-
And that is awesome that you are constantly moving - I'm at a desk - Hey - can you challenge your chef to try something healthy?? Find a chicken or veggie or fruit recipe that "you have heard of" - see if he can do it? Just a thought. :) Keep on keepin' on!
-
HELLO! Nights here too! I am JUST NOW starting to lose weight. I used to "eat to stay awake" then be tired during the day and mindlessly eat. Got scared that I am so obese I would become diabetic. I do not have any magic "only eat at these times/with these foods". But I started going as low carb as I could. My sleep is a…

You can do it!!!!

sjackson - Thank you! I am 44 - and you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! I am at the beginning of my journey - keep stalling myself out - and now I am looking health problems (teetering on the brink) right in the face. so - you are right - sagging skin? Or a heart attack. :) Thanks!
-
You got some great advice - GET AWAY FROM THAT AS FAST AS YOU CAN. My take: That feels ick. As a married woman - things that feel ick - even if they "work on it" - doesn't go away, it just gets worse. Go find better.
-
Feel free to add me! I feel like I am the fattest person in all of my circles. I"m 44 - I was in good shape in my 20s, but stress eating, more stress, more eating, blah blah. So please add me if you want - I need to lose over. I'm 5'2 and about 270+ so I'm with ya! Trish

I work nights too - and find I am most successful when I set up my meals/snacks in advance. I am lucky enough to work from home (typing) and so I put a couple bowls in the fridge and in them are some precut celery, a couple cutie oranges, couple hard boiled eggs, things like that. My meals are pretty messed up day/night,…

LOL :) You're all teasing me - I LOVE DMB, Beatles, U2, Meryl, almost everything named, Brad Pitt, I'm either old or out of style. :) I"m okay w/ etiher of those. Starbucks.... Funny, I listened U2 in the shower before I went to Starbucks today. I don't get miley, chic fila, expensive bags, or rhianna (kept thinking people…

The Walking Company - or is it the Walking Store. They have dress/athletic/whatever you are looking for. The store folks are well trained and take their time to make sure you get the best shoe for YOU. Pricey but worth it and they last a long time. And are SOO good to your feet!
-
Please add me if you like - we can all always use more positive energy - Trish :)

43 - and 135 to lose. Would love to be added! :) I stress eat and would love to meet others who stress eat! :) Maybe give some encouraging words when needed. :) Trish
