Hi, I was noticing you get up real early to exercise. Just one interesting note that has been all the fitness mags this past year about getting enough sleep. Basically it reports getting 7- 8 hours of sleep each night was as important as at weight loss than exercise. Not to add to your burdens of balancing your time, but…

I couldn't agree more with Matty Sparky, nice dog by the way, it is not our place to judge others or critique someone elses success or failure. Rather support and report on our own experiences. I too have followed many "fad" diets. They have mostly resulted in short term weight loss, that was not sustainable on that diet.…

Oh Wow, You are awesome.

Hi I a m new to the site and am finding it is a confort to write down my efforts, as you know dieting is a journey and it is tough to stay focused and committed. This logging is helping me, and it is nice to talk with people who are as obsessed withtaking back their body as I am. Here we go 1 step and pound at a time.…

Just started this week, so I am still gungho. That said I plan on putting my Turkey on a heaping beautiful green salad, with blue cheese crumbles and walnuts, I am making it, and then heaping on the green beans and relish plate. Then I am determined to control the free carbs. Hopefully that will keep me in the run today.…

I am also 40 something. The thing is if we dont lose the weight now when would we? I am thinking I am wasting some really good years being more than I should be, I guess you could say... Anyway I have lost quite a bit this past 14 months ut have had trouble staying motivated and pushing the envelope. Good Luck any success…
