This isn't 'Chit Chat and Fun'. I think you are in the wrong Forum. OP is giving credit where credit is due.

Well. . eat ice cream of course. (unless that would sabotage your day/week/month/year)

How many friends do you want? I am just looking for one that I can encourage and who will also encourage me. I am 48 and work the treadclimber at home. As I only have 7 pounds more to lose, it seems that my friends and relatives don't think I need encouragement. I have resorted to encouraging myself. So, after all these…

Just lack of knowledge. Now I know. I can eat healthy but without the tracking I can always eat way too much.

My mother.

I don't think I will ever enjoy 'exercising' and I am always so happy to be done. I have found something that works for me and I am committed to doing it 30 min. 3x a week. I've lost 43 pounds since past October. I'd rather pull weeds but it doesn't have the same results as walking the TreadClimber.

I started at 5 min at a time on the treadclimber, huffing and puffing. Now I do 30 min 3 times a week. Started 1 year ago.

I call mine 'no calorie count' days. I still log. Sometimes I go way over and sometimes I don't. Works for me.

Or.... She is new, Was excited about her cleanse, and just wanted to share it. What a welcome.

What is NSV?

Everything makes me smile. I see my shadow and I smile, I fit in to old new clothes and I smile sometimes even laugh and giggle and jump up and down. But the most surprising thing is how my husband has been acting - very much like a kid again. =)

The only thing I don't log is the crystallized ginger that I eat each day. I consider it vitamins - cold and flu prevention.

I want to say thank you. I read the whole thing and it has helped me understand some of my husband's previous frustrations. Because of my weight loss my countenance has been glowing. I have been cheerful and energetic and this has very much affected my husband. I am not only glad to see him when he gets home but he can See…

I haven't read the whole thing but I think you have some insight there. Every time my husband sends out a text to me or anyone else, at the bottom it says 'My Wife is Beautiful'. I don't know how long he has had that but I am starting to believe it. It is really hard for me to believe it. I would think that he is just…

Remember what it is like to start all over. I am doing this once. I never want to have to do it again. Also, I plan ahead. No spur of the moment give ins. Only preplanned over calorie days.

Finding what works for YOU is half the battle won. Filling out my food diary daily, no matter what, is motivating and a new habit formed. I found that afternoon workouts work best for me and it is easier to stick to something that feels right - a new habit formed. Find an exercise that will work for you. I don't…

Next to the ladies' room at church is a women's ministry board. On it is a group of ladies. I didn't realize that I was bigger than everyone there. I am glad for that picture now because every week I am again motivated to practice self-control and only eat what I need. In the picture I am wearing a black top. My son…

That was a very scary story. I am so glad you got away.

My son is treating me to Red Lobster. Oh! that's because I'm the driver taking him and his female friend out. =D Lucky me.

Eat natural, avoid baby formula's if possible, listen to advice but research it yourself, research vaccines for your baby before you just say yes. And enjoy your happy and healthy lifestyle change.

My friends call me by my first name.

Think I'll change my goal weight to 135. That is what my license says. Current weight 167. Haven't weighed 135 since I first met my husband. That is over 20 years ago.

Figure out her primary love language and you can't miss. If her primary love language is quality time then a gift just won't do it. If works is her love language then cleaning the kitchen for her might be a perfect gift. My husband took time out of his really busy day to plant a rose bush for me. That was special to me.…
