Thanks again for the challenge. I made it through the whole day without cheating. It was a little tougher when I was at home and my daughter was snacking on her Halloween goodies!!!!!

Thanks so much for the idea! I actually do snack on almonds, but I love the idea of mixing some of the ones with the dark chocolate ones. You have just kicked up my healthy snack a notch. Thanks again!!!!

First of all-GOOD FOR YOU! Believe me when I say I know just how hard it is to give up soda! I have not had a soda since the end of August. I also hate the taste of diet soda so that was never an option for me. I would start my day with a 20oz MDew. I would usually have another (or a Pepsi) with lunch and then drink at…

I am not a vegetarian, but I am in the 50 lbs or more boat!

WOW! That post really had me stunned. Have you considered getting a second opinion on that or visiting a nutritionist?

Since yesterday was a nightmare for me and I let stress take over, I decided as I got out of bed this morning that today is a new day and that I will get back on track. I am hoping that my yoga class this evening will help to keep me focused on health and guide me past any temptations around the house! Good luck to…

Hi everyone! It has been great reading through the posts and getting to meet all these new faces. I think it will be fun to motivate and encourage each other through this journey. I have been married for 20 years and have 2 wonderful kids (ages 12 & 14). The weight just kept creeping up on me and I just kept fooling myself…

Feel free to add me. I started this whole adventure in August and I am giving myself a year to take off all this extra weight. I have slowly been trying to make lifestyle changes that I will carry with me the rest of my life. It is always better to do this sort of thing with company! :)

This is FANTASTIC! You look great! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing even less of you (and I mean that in the good way)!

I like to use Leslie Sansone's walking dvds. They are a good workout, but not so intense that I cannot keep up. She has a TON of them so I am sure you could find one that you want to do. You can get a 1 mile walk (mine is combined with a 2 mile walk on the same dvd so I can pick one). The 1 mile is good for days when you…

Chester County area!

This is GREAT! Congratulations and keep up the fantastic work. You should be so proud of yourself and thanks so much for sharing!

Well I am very sorry that you have had some bad experiences here. I am also rather new and went to see a nutritionist about my unhealthy eating habits. She started me on 1200 cal a day. I agree with many of the posts that say you are going to get conflicting advice from many sources. Make sure you are eating in a healthful…

I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. I think you have taken the first step and I hope you continue on the journey to a healthier you. Add me if you wish. I will do what I can to keep you motivated. Don't you give up!!

PA! Add me if you want.

Hi. I saw your post. I am a 45 year old mom of 2 who is also trying to get on the right track. For the first couple of weeks I was just tracking my food and exercise, but have recently started to look for friends for support and motivation. The people I have met so far are great. Feel free to accept my friend request.

I am with you there! Bread is awesome. I have cut back and switched to some better selections, but I totally understand!

Welcome and I wish you all the best!!!

Great post!!! TY!

Looking for some as people to keep me on track as well.

Feel free to add me. I have been here a few weeks and have made some progress. I still have a long way to go, but I am hoping to learn a lot of new habits along the way.

I am very new here. You can add me!
