Thanks Hooki!

Hey everyone- I just got diagnosed with type two diabetes over the weekend. Was actually a pretty big shock- didn't see the diagnosis coming. I had a lot of symptoms- but I was in a bad car accident- so blamed a lot of the symptoms on injuries! Now I am getting used to the diagnosis (and starting to feel quite a bit…

I'm thirty with PCOS as well. It does make things more difficult- but it isn't impossible. There are a ton of really motivating stories of people with PCOS who have had great success.

Thanks for all the reeplies and tips! I love Pinterest and use it all the time, but still am always looking for recipes that other people have tried and have enjoyed. Some of the other websites I'm not as familiar with-so excited to look at those.

I agree- we don't lose or gain weight in a day- and we can't get in shape in a week. However- easing yourself into anything as much as possible will help. I don't know what you drink water wise- but make sure you drink a lot of water over the next few days (and well all the other days after that, because water rocks) I…

Add me too! I need to lose somewhere between 50-100 pounds. My first goal is for fifty and then I'll keep working down from there. There are some really great inspirational people on this site- and it has helped a ton finding that encouragement. Plus the tips of what works for other people help. Even if it it just a great…

Book nerd, video game nerd- Just kind of a dork in general! :-D Feel free to add me. Always fun to meet new people on here.

Hey Welcome! I am new to this als, been at it for not quite two weeks. I think the most important decision you made it to start. This website is great, there is a lot of encouragement. There is also a lot of people who have great suggestions. Good luck!

I just started a little over a week ago! Welcome back! Feel free to add me so we can encourage each other on this weight loss journey.

Hey I'm Christina, I joined a long time ago- but literally never logged on after joining. However- five days in this time around. Going strong and feeling really great. Also feeling very motivated. I want to make sure I keep my motivation! Feel free to give me an add. I need to lose quite a bit over all. But I realize that…

Slice the zuchinni- about 2/3 of the way down (so the bottom is still holding the zuchinni together. You'll make 3 or 4 slices like that. In between each slice drizzle a small amount of olive oil, add pepper, and light feta cheese. Wrap in aluminum foil and grill. So so easy- but so so good.

You guys are all awesome! I appreciate all the great suggestions so much!! Christina

Yay! Thank you everyone for some of the great tips. I am noticing a trend in the weighing my food. I try to measure my food as much as possible, but I ordered a food scale online. So I should get that in the next couple of days as well.

I stock up whenever the frozen vegetables are on sale to save money. If nothing else they are great to throw in a pot and make a batch of vegetable soup. And when they go on sale- you can catch a bag of frozen vegetables for under a dollar. When you buy fresh- try to buy what is in season only. I have saved a lot of money…

Thanks Rose, I am really glad I joined. It really does seem like a great resource!

Hey! Today is the first day that I am REALLY starting this weight loss journey. Holding myself accountable and all of that. Pinterest of all things is such an amazing resource. You can search for low carb or Paleo recipes and end up getting meals with TONS OF flavor. This morning I sat down and made a menu for a week. My…
