I love seeing these. Good job to everyone. I pray that I can post a similar picture next year!

Sounds like you have a good sound reason for loosing. I love to hear stories like yours. Mine is similiar in not wanting to turn heads, etc. I just want to be fit, healthy, and happy with myself. Good Luck!

Good Luck. I'm a second timer to the site. I love it, but just finding the time to do it is an issue for me.....and remembering too! This year will be different! Motivation - simple, your kids/family. You want to be around for them. I know that's simple, and I don't mean to blow off your requests, but look at those…

I'm addicted! I've watched since about season 5. Although, inspiring, it hasn't helped me with my weight issues. I've gotten some really great tips, though. Maybe, this year will be different. I'd just have to do a coin flip on which trainer I'd take. I really like Bob, and he is a familiar a face, but Dolvett - he just…

Thanks All. Like I said, I'm not a a coke/soda drinker - at all, or I didn't think I was. I probably drink 12 Fresca's in a given month - maybe two, so I'm thinking I'm ok. The artificial sugar doesn't seem to have an effect on me. I a huge water drinker - always have been and that is truly my drink of choice. Just plan ol…

I'm the MFP. I had on my pedometer and was just going by what it said I burned, with over 13,000 steps. I do weigh alot and that is figured in there.

I use the one on this site. I can store them, and just click them when I eat.

this is perfect. You can get a good workout with these ideas. I'm going to do while I watch TV tonight!

I've been on the diet road for so long, I'm so use to cooking two meals. Actually with this site though, I eat whatever I do for my DH, but I just eat it in a smaller portion and count it. For me, this time, it isn't a diet, but a life style change....and teaching me portion control.

Not sure of the measure, but it sounds terrific!

I was sent via regular email a post from this site on calories, metabolism, etc. It is called "Living With Obesity At 700 Calories Per Day! Do a search on it in the community forums. It is really good. It explained alot of what I am going through and what you may be going through too. Hopefully it will help

I think I'm winning or going to win this time, because when I have a slip up I get right back on track!

I love this, as I have been really down on myself for the last two with the scale not moving. I can now look back and see where I've had some victories 1) Beginning to plan out meals for myself. I put them in my food tracker, so how the add up for the day and adjust from there. So I guess you could say I'm be more…

Thank you. I've got to make cupcakes for the SB and this just do the trick

Congrat's!

How fantastic for you. WTG!

Great story. You've don't know how much you've helped me!

What's a NSV?

Congrat's on the 5 pounds. This is your year - take it back!

Good for you Tonya....you can only be your best self for your kids and husband if you take care of yourself first. Make it a priority!

Good Luck!

Good Luck, and you'll find the support amazing! Check out the profiles, and find some friends you might have things in common, or interesting and request to be their friend. That in itself is very helpful.

I'm so glad you posted this. I struggle with this each day. Everyone tells me to raise my calories, but when I do, then the whole sodium thing is an issue. It's a going to be a catch 22 until I can come to grips and get a handle on it....so, Thanks. I look forward to see what others say....and good luck! You seem to be…

Great post......I'll definitely heed the advice!

You should stay home if the weather is bad....not do the GHD. Your life is worth more than that. This is a nasty storm and ought to be respected.

Thanks all.

Welcome....you'll find it addictive. Everyone supporting each other!

You'll find the site very addictive. I got active in January and look forward everyday to logging on, seeing what everyone says and does, get ideas. Welcome.....I'm sure you'll feel the same way shortly.

I'm in Texas and the DFW airport was closed for a few hours this morning. First time since 9/11. The roads are really icey and not gonna to get any better. For us, this is scary. What is funny though, it is media day for the Super Bowl, and I'm sure the Steelers and Packers players and fans are wondering....why are we…

I freeze blueberries ALL the time. I just wash them off good. Let them dry out, and put them in a freezer baggy and grab out what I need. I've never experienced freezer burn with them, and I've tried the cookie sheet idea once, but as long as they dry, that step wasn't necessary for me. Good Luck....go buy a bunch!
