I used to make my own skincare in the kitchen, however it got time consuming and I knew I wanted something healthier for my skin because someone who cares about me shared an ingredient list of things to avoid. There is a product called L'Bri Pure N' Natural that is made near Milwaukee WI that has changed many lives. not…

It's a good idea to consume some sort of protein after working out just to replenish some lost while working out.

Where do you get Ground roasted berry pits? I'd love something different

I tried that for the first time a few weeks ago and yes....It's pretty good!

Good morning to all of you! I am also in the same category of over 100 lbs to lose. I started at 388 in mid January now I am 261.5 and with a combination of aqua therapy/land therapy I'm a slight bit more mobile than I was. I slowly changed my eating patterns over the last few months but not starving by any means. Now I'm…

I had the VBG done in 1988. I lost about 50 lbs and stayed at a standstill forever it seemed. I didn't have the support that is available today. I resorted to barely eating anything, walking several hours a day and look back at pictures and knew I wasn't getting the nutrition I needed. I got frustrated and starting eating…

My hobby/business is making handmade greeting cards. It keeps me busy when I want to eat because I'm bored.

Oh my! That is amazing! I have so much to lose, but I'm breaking it down in chunks and not looking at the whole total at one time. Congratulations and I know you will reach your goal!

My thoughts exactly!

I also watched that episode of the Doctors and tried the cinnamon...Couldn't do it. So next time I go to the store it will have to be almond milk for me...maybe with a touch of Cinnamon?

Very nicely put! I couldn't have said it better myself. I was a circuit coach at Curves for women and when it came time for their weigh and measure even though they lost several inches they were still obsessed with the number on the scale that wouldn't go down. You can't tell how much a person weigh by the way they look.…

Good morning! Other than Bananas having quite a bit of carbs, I don't think you should eliminate these things completely. Eating doesn't make us fat, deprivation does. (not saying you or anyone would binge but it's not unheard of) Allow controlled quantities of these things. I've always hear everything in moderation.

I never thought to put oatmeal in my smoothies.

That sounds great, Thanks for sharing!

You can add me as well, I just joined Yesterday and love it already!

I love the support of this group! wish I had found it sooner it would have helped me get an earlier start instead of procrastinating.

Your story is inspiring! Congratulations on your Success! :happy: keep it going! I'm just looking to give/receive support ( We could all use it) Thanks!

You are an amazing and caring person for noticing that was happening and even more so for doing something about it! Congrats to Jessica for her success despite that day. It took inner strength and love for herself to go back!

@mamageorgie...I get those same "shout outs" especially when riding my bicycle to work every morning. Do you have a Curves in your area? It did wonders for me!

I have, that is why I joined Curves for women in 2003. Shortly after I joined I started working there and had the best experience of my life! I've lost 100 lbs there but put it all back on after leaving in 2009 due to health issues. However I'm determined to do it once again.
