Feel free to add me!

I found for me, as I scaled the sugar intake back, that it took me close to six weeks to kick around... the body is used to the rush of sugar, and then it had to readjust.... I am now off of soda for three months, and after reading about what goes into it.... I wont be going back..... keep up the fight, we need to take…

Fantastic work!!! Guess I better get my butt moving.... Seems to be a consensus (sp) out there!!! Getting the food part under control, now to get the movement in there. Yes alot is mental!! But I have to overcome! Thanks for the inspiration! You are doing amazing!

baby steps are great... keep up the great work!!! I fully understand how you are feeling!

I need to lose 100...

I have my reduction booked for the end of November. This was a second opinion for me, as the first doctor would not do until I lost 50 lbs. I am on route to a healthier life style, but only lost 10lbs or so, and have found that nothing is coming off the boobs..... the second dr has also said that my sizing will still be…

Great job!! And thanks to that coworker who had the guts to "call" you on it. Even when you were miffed by it. You have done an amazing job and set a great example for your boys! Keep it up - you can be proud!!! :)

You are far from alone... this is a great site for info, encouragement, etc. It took us a lifetime to get here, so miracles aren't going to happen over night. We do fall back into old habits, but the baby steps will take us to where we want to be. I have added you as a friend, and hope that I can help. Start reading what…

I have been slow to lose as well, as our bodies make sure we are eating and fgiving it the nutrients it needs..... I have discovered that eating breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner is definitely helpful and I am not starving into the night as before. Weight is only starting to come off and it's been several months.…

Your well on your way... it's a continous journey and a change in lifestyle.... and it's gonna take awhile... for me the weight is over 15 plus years.. .those habits are hard to break... baby steps.... you can do it! Feel free to add as a friend....

Hey - I've been on for about six or so weeks. My weight is from over 20 years, so I'm not expecting alot of change for a bit.. mind you the scale dropping would be good... in the mean time, I am feeling alot better, energy levels are going up, and one day I will get the exercise thing going.... so I can possibly feel her…

I am so with you with the cravings.. mine is usually sweet and salty.... I am "new" to the journey here, but even previously I had to start making changes... so I figured instead of a large bag of chips to save $$$, I started purchasing the small bags, and ate less.... it seems to be working to allow myself a small portion…

I used to drink about 3 small bottles a day of diet coke or coke zero.... over the past couple of years I have scalled back... some days better than others.. .I am now down to a can a week and even then, I am almost at the point of taking it or leaving it. You have to be ready to give it up, and until then, if it helps…
