I've lost fifty pounds so far and I haven't had anyone comment on it on their own. I have mentioned it to people at work and my parents about how much I've lost though. After I told my dad, he did tell me that it had looked like I had lost-- so at least there's that! But I don't mind, I'll just keep losing and eventually…

I suppose I'm lucky in this area, I've never been all that addicted to having a morning cup of coffee. Don't get me wrong, I think a coffee with cream and sugar tastes amazing, but it was never something I felt I needed. So, that said I haven't been drinking it much. The only time I get a cup (I try to only have it black,…

Heya! My name's Mari and I live in the Akron area! Feel free to add me!!!! :D

What she said. I'm from Akron, and I'm always local for people in my area to friend. :)

So, it looks like the 17th isn't going to work. :( Maybe we can revisit this when it's warmer?

The 17th would work just as well for me :)

Well, we can meet at one of the Towpath Parking areas... how about next Saturday? The 10th? Maybe we could even find some place nearby to eat a healthy meal? Breakfast, lunch, whatever depending on what time works for everyone?

I haven't started 30DS yet, but I do have the DVD. So I'm totally game for this challenge. Anything to get me motivated and losing!

Sounds like the Towpath would be good then! We should probably get it in soon before the weather gets much worse! Of course we can always bundle up and go walking. I don't know about you two, but weekends would be best for me.

Yeah, pretty much what others have said. I had mine out at 19 and the only real issue I had was when I ate something greasy and unhealthy, like Big Macs and the like. If I do this, I have to be pretty close to a bathroom or something bad might happen. But since I'm not eating fast food anymore I've had very limited…

Awesome! Maybe we can think of something to do before it starts to snow? Maybe like a hike somewhere or something? Thoughts? I have a membership to the Y, so if you guys do too, we could always doing something there as well, like a class.

Ha! Good thing I just happened to check in on this thread! XD Maybe if we get a few more responses we can think of something to do?

Wow, very nice work. And it helps inspire me to make that 100 lb hurdle in a year. Thanks for this!

I try to do it every Sunday morning after I wake up, but with my scale right in my room sometimes I can't help but check during the week anyway out of curiosity.

I'm in much the same boat as you, with well over 100 to lose. I'm 12 lbs lost so far and looking forward to what tomorrow brings. It's hard, but this site and the calorie calculator is keeping me honest and knowledgeable about what I'm putting in my mouth. I'm adding you now! And anyone else, feel free to add me as well!…

I've been here for about a month and have over a hundred pounds to lose and definitely need as many friends as I can get on here. This is really the first time I've stuck to actually counting calories and holding myself accountable, so I'm hopeful that I will be looking great in a years time. Anyone new or old, feel free…

I do the same thing at work with a lot of water and occasionally when I'm sick of water I've got a handful of Crystal Light packets that taste great and only amount to 10 calories.

Nice job so far! That's amazing. I'm at 309 lbs so far, so I've got a lot of ways to go. Hope I get to where you are now and that you reach your ultimate goal!

I'm new...ish myself. I've been using the phone app for about a month, but I haven't actually come on the website to talk to anyone yet. So I decided to start thinking it might be great motivation :) So definitely add me as a friend, you and anybody, so we can both motivate each other (and kick each other's butts)!
