I thought this once upon a time. When I realized that there are at least two negative things associated with debt, I changed my thinking (Probably more than two negative, but to keep this short :smile: ) 1st is Risk, this has already been mentioned 2nd is Bondage. I couldn't change jobs once, because I couldn't find anyone…

Very Well Said. I do understand that! {* he says laughing to himself *}

I feel compelled to jump in on the Dave Ramsey topic. I'm a big fan! I've coordinated * of his "Financial Peace University" classes. I've had almost 200 people come through these classes - and most of them have made good progress. I'm also one of Dave's Certified Counselors - I've drunk the kool-aid ! :) And completely…

I agree with the previous post - check out "http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/06/perfect-iced-coffee/" I'm gonna try that one. I've got a French Press, that I use to make pretty strong coffee, and then add the ice ~ works pretty well for my tastes.

To concur with all of the above posters - What are you talking about "Only 22 lbs" - Thats Awesome

Welcome Amber, I think you'll find this to be a very supportive and encouraging site ~ lots of good folks here. Log everything - yes ~ everything. - the plan works.

Welcome, Lots of great encouragement here! Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm wearing a pair of Sketchers! Bought them for the comfort. Man are they nice to walk in - give me "Happy Feet". Can't say that I've noticed any toning going on though.

I absolutely agree! ~

Some above me commented about bell peppers - My favorite. !!

Just about an hour ago, a colleague at work yells across the room, "Hey, have you lost weight? You look thinner." He's been on vacation for 3 weeks, and noticed when he got back. Kinda nice, but I'm doing this for Me!

I've taken it. If I take it every day, after about 3 weeks, I get nose bleeds for no reason. It acts as a blood thinner ya know. I've reduced my dose to every other day without any problems.

Welcome! Great way to start ~ Determined ~ Ya know, I often say "if it was easy, anybody could do it" - just look around and get more motivated. As my friend Dave Ramsey says "Live like no one else. . . so later, you can live like no one else". It's a great group here - lots of encouraging people! Feel free to add me as a…

<Raising his hand from the back of the Room> Screaming . . . I'm Here! < Sitting Down now !> Friend me if you'ld like.

Welcome Back. I've been using this program for about a month now. I'm a lifetime Weight Watchers member, and had lots of success with WW, until they started the new Points Plus program. When they tell me that all fruits and Veggies don't count, Thats what I'm gonna eat. . . . Well guess what . . . . Anyway, I've found this…

Awesome! I don't know how a person could start any better. Great Job.

name ~ Joe age ~56 where you're from ~ Denver what made you start your weight loss journey ~ I want to keep hiking here in the rockies, and need to get in better health to do that. I'm planning on starting my own business, and will need my own health insurance - It's cheaper if I'm a healthy weight!!

Without hesitation ~ LUNGES !!! Hate 'em ``` Hate 'em ```

I'm fairly new, but this seems to be working. Great people here - Good motivators! Add me as a friend if you want.

Oh man ~ I'm reading several. Linchpin by Seth Godin ~~ Quitter by Jon Acuff ~~ Wierd by Craig Groeshell ~~ Radical by David Platt ~~ and 48 Days to the Work you love by Dan Miller. And in my spare time . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I know that this is an older post, but I've got to chime in here. I've coordinated 8 FPU classes, and had 175 people or so attend these 8 classes. I've seem what can happen when people get motivated to change. I'm also a "Certified Dave Ramsey Counselor" - Yep - Went to Nashville, Drank the cool-aid and took the training.…

Like many of the replies, I'm not too pleased with the new "Points Plus" program. And I'm a lifetime WW member. I lost on every WW program until they went to the Points Plus one. I could do the math in my head, but this one is way more complicated for my simple math skills - I think that . . . . No . . . I'm positive that…

Welcome - Your more than welcome to add me a one of your friends! - This is a great, friendly and helpful web site.

Go to settings in the upper right corner of the tracker. If you choose to use your activity points only on the day they are earned, they will automatically be used first. If you choose to have your activity points banked for the week, you then have the option of using weekly pts. or activity pts. first. Hope this helps.…

Yep - I'm in Broomfield. Been here since 1987. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

I find that tracking is necessary for me. Tracking here (for me) is much easier than tracking the new WW Points Plus. Calories are printed on almost everything, and I don't need a calculator. Remember - Your mileage may vary. !!

I run in Saucony shoes. I've tried New Balance, Nike, and Ascics, but they all hurt my arc of my foot. I've been a Saucony fan for several years. . . . My daughter loves her Ascics - - - Try 'em all, get what feels the best . Joe

I thought I was the only person who used the term "Fortnight" !! Clothes is my choice -

I'm also a Life Time member of WW. I've lost lots of weight on the program, and loved it. I re-joined last november - Yep just before the holidays! I lost 15 pounds through the holidays, and by Jan 1. Once WW introduced the new and improved Points Plus. I haven't done so good. As stated above, I ate fruit all the time -…
