Welcome back! You CAN do it! Hugs:flowerforyou:

Black seedless grapes! Yummy and sometimes almost too sweet (is there such a thing?) :wink: Also, I cut up an apple (any sweet one will do) and sprinkle on some really good cinnamon, almost apple pie!

Welcome! This is a great place to find the support you need! I guarantee you will get sympathy if you need it and you will also get that "kick in the behind" we all need sometimes too! I get the same thing all the time too when I tell people I want to loose another 59 pounds to get to my goal, "but you don't need to loose…

Welcome back and welcome to your new lifestyle! You have the motivation to do it this time, no more fads, just good food and exercise, the healthy "diet"! Can't wait to hear about you getting into that bikini!!! Hugs!:flowerforyou:

Hi! Welcome! Yes, the holidays do make it much harder! But I've found that the longer I have been eating healthy the less the "unhealthy" foods appeal to me. Oh they look good and tempt me and I will indulge,but then I feel awful! Not just mentally (guilt!) but I actually feel physically ill! Now the trick is remembering…

Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and welcome! Glad you found this site, it's really great! We are all looking forward to applauding your sucess! Hugs!:flowerforyou:

God bless you and your family! Merry Christmas to all! Hugs!

Hi Sanid, I'm Chrissy, welcome aboard! This is a great site, lots of great people with great ideas and lots of support. Having someplace to log all you eat and your exercise really helps with keeping you on track. Can't wait to share your progress! Have a great night! Hugs!!!:flowerforyou:

Welcome! This is a great place to begin your journey. Just be sure you log everything, I mean EVERYTHING!!!! You eat. Be totally honest with yourself and you will be so suprised how well you will do. And make sure you drink lots and lots of water! Good luck and again, WELCOME!!! Hugs!:flowerforyou:

Welcome!!! You have found a great place! Lots of support and great ideas! We all look forward to your sucess! Hugs!:flowerforyou:

I agree with everyone who says it's a good thing they didn't send junk! I know family can be hurtful sometimes when they are really just trying to be helpful. Make something out of the diet cookbook and send it to them with a note that has all the nutritional information on it! Turn the tables a bit and make them wonder…

Welcome VA and Arkansas! You have found a great place with great people! I joined almost 2 months ago and absolutly love it! As long as you are totally honest with yourself and write down EVERYTHING you put in your mouth, this site can really help you achieve your goals! Make sure to drink lots and lots of water too! If…

Welcome! This is a fun place to do something that many don't think of as fun at all, lose weight! Don't look at it as a long road, look at it as something you are doing for your body to thank it for all it has done for you! If you stop and think about it, it really is amazing what our body does for us even while we treat…

Awesome!!! You should be so proud of yourself!!! Keep up the good work! Hugs!!!

I wish you all the best! I can't even imagine the way you must have felt finding out you weren't getting your child! And then surgery on top of it all, honey I'm suprised cookies was all you binged on! You are going to get through this though and 2010 is going to be your year! Stay strong, we are here for you!…

Yuck! Sounds like a good day for a book and a fire ( after a workout video of course!). Stay safe and warm. Hugs!

Great job! I am so happy for you! Keep up the good work!!!!! Hugs! :flowerforyou:

Enjoy! You deserve it! You look amazing! I can't wait till I'm in a 12, that is such a milestone, you really are an inspiration to us all! Congrats!!!!!! Hugs :flowerforyou:

I'm so glad you found this site and it's helped you get a better image of your body. Being healthy feels so good (I'm not all the way there yet, but I can't believe how much better I feel already) hopefully that will keep you motivated to only loose as much as you need to and not more. Take care of yourself and good luck!…

Good for you! We all have to start somewhere and here is a good place! Best advice I can give you is to be honest with yourself. Even if no one else can see you eat the extra brownie, YOU will know you did and that will lead to you feeling down about yourself and before you know it you'll have eaten the WHOLE pan (been…

Welcome! I love this place too! Everyone is so friendly and has such good ideas that really help! It really makes you think of "dieting" as a lifestyle change, not just something you do till you get where you want to go and then stop. I agree with you that this site does make it fun and that will help us all to stick with…

Keep a picture of that new dress (jeans, skirt, bikini, etc you get the idea) that you are going to get when you reach your goal with you all the time and when you feel like binging, pull it out and imagine yourself wearing it. Then grab an apple and get to the gym! Stay strong! Hugs!!!

Have you talked to your doctor about what you should weigh? Mine is not really all that concerned with numbers, she's more into how fit I am (not very right now, but I'm improving!). Next time you go in, ask and see what he or she suggests. It's all really about getting healthy, smaller clothes sizes are really just an…

Welcome! This is a good place to loose! Good luck! Hugs!

Welcome! You have found the right place! All the best! Hugs!

YAY!!!!! Great job!!!!! It takes sooooo much strength to walk away, we are all proud of you!

Welcome! You have found a great place to start your journey. There are so many great people here who really want to help and MFP offers really great tools to help you keep track of how you are doing. I've always been a fat kid too. Had lots of friends, but not many "boyfriends". I was lucky enough to find and marry a…

Welcome! This is a great site, lots of support and it's so easy to use! You've come to the right place for help in reaching your goals. The best thing I can tell you to do is be honest with yourself and log everything, EVERYTHING, you eat. It really helps to see the actual numbers on what we are putting in our mouths, it…

But you are beautiful! Even when you don't eat right, have an off day, don't exercise, etc. your body is still there for you, keeping you warm, getting you from place to place, processing all the sights you see, things you feel and that is beautiful! When we eat the way we should, exercise and take care of our body, we are…

Wow what a great way to think about talking! I've always been a talker and never thought of it as an asset before, but now I can say it's all part of my new diet strategy! Thanks Hoosiermomma, us talking momma's gotta stick together!
