Sorry...I meant 65 Proteins a day!

Welcome! I hear ya gal. You know your goals and thats great...also working a gym can be so beneficial for you....makes me jealous...LOL :tongue: I sent you a friend request.....we'll help each other!

I think alot of it has to do with the time change! Your body has to re-adjust and that takes time. In the summer there are (or there seem to be) much more activities and if you are an outdoorsy person to begin with....cold, dreary weather can slow you down. Keep up your fluids and during the day...let the light shine in!…

You will certainly find friends and support on this site...we are all working our way to a healthier "NEW" life....friend me if you like! I need all the encouragement I can get! PS....I love the site too!

Amen SIsta! You can do it and there is alot of support on this site....although not everyting you read on here will you agree with, but try to keep an open mind and remember why you are doing this....FOR YOU! Best of luck!

YUM! I wonder what you could make or use with Cruzan Coconut Rum? Perhaps Light Cranberry Juice? Not sure of what the cal or carbs would be...anyone know or have any suggestions?

Sounds like you and grandma need to have a heart to heart talk....perhaps if you explain that although it means alot to you that she wants to participate... you may find yourself a bit ahead of her on the trail....and you are concerned about her health too. Maybe calling along the way by cell to check in on her and have a…

Yes...you are worth it. I have only been on here for a week and have lost 7 lbs....and gained lost energy and new friendships! Keep focused! YOU CAN DO IT ~:bigsmile: !

No offense....I wish you the best~

A water fast sounds dangerous....your body needs food to fuel it. You need water too...just not only water. you will love the daily food diary on this site...it keeps track of your food and water intact and breaks it all dow for you. How much weight do you need or want to lose? This is a great site and you will get lots of…

You look amazing...Keep up the good work!

Well said! And very true! Good luck~

I am sorry that you are having to go through all these adjustments,,,but they are just that....adjustments! So keep your eyes focused on your original plan and you'll be just fine. Remember how those extra 50 lbs felt and it should motivate you again too. Its only natural when you have a job change as in your case and you…

Thanks...I'll check into it. I think I may have come up with my own recipe....I'll report it if it doesn't kill me! LOL Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Are you going back into your GOALS after a loss and re-entering your current weight? Thats what you need to do to keep on track with what your "new" weight calories should be for that week or until your next loss....doing the Check In won't change your calories, it only changes your ticker but you have to go back to your…

I get it girlfriend!!! I lost over 42 lbs 2 years ago...went to Hawaii for our 20th Anniversary and ever since I have put it all back on plus 10 additional...UGH! I just restarted my healthy eating plan and its a bit of a struggle to feel satisfied since I started 4 days ago,BUT...there is hope. When my doctor told me I…

So Raw Carrots would be okay? I could seriously eat like 20 chip-carrots! LOL

Keep up the great job! Very impressive. I can't wait till I can say I am 14 lbs down...just started here on November 9th! Got a ways to go too before the goal weight but its coming off baby! Have a great weekend~

you will for sure get the support...and the recipes are awesome. Just keep track of everything you eat and if you do go off just don't beat yourself up over it...instead get right back on track. Its a challenge to lose weight...and takes so much effort but the end result will be a newer, healthier you! I'll be rooting for…

Welcome aboard! This site has been so encouraging...4 days into it and there is so much great advice, recipes, and LOTS of laughter...something being overweight makes you forget about. Friend me! Blessings, Autumn

Dear Ms. Kitty, my adorable old cat: Why oh why must you start hacking up that hairball at 5 am every morning? I try to avoid listening to your hacking...just to get up...stepping in it of course...curse you for a minute then call you to come back to bed with me....UGH! Cats! :noway: Gotta love em.....

Haven't tried that one but did just about every thing else....this community of folks is wonderful,.I am already, just 2 days into it getting such support. We are in it together so hang in there. My only son died almost 5 years ago and food became my crutch over my loss....and my life....it was too comforting but hurting…
