If jucing means you eat more vegatables or "some" vegetables, then juice. I eat raw vegetable and fruit, because I "like" raw vegetables and fruit. I don't like jucie (especially fruit) and cooked vegetables. It works for me. the only thing I really know is that as your get older fiber gets much much more important. I…

Smart woman!!!

I think you are dead right. I also feel the whole exercising for thesole purpose of losing weight is a SO misleading. I think exercising is wonderful and it makes me feel good emotionally and physically but l don't think it wlll, in and of itself, make me lose weight. I think each of us is an individual and must find what…

sounds great. I am in

My starting weight is 210 Goal 200

I'm in. I have more than 20 to lose but its a start. Need all motivation I can get!

I always enjoyed weight training. Did it at 260 lb.. I think carrying that kind of weight. doing weight training and drinking a ton of milk as a child is reason I have really strong bones at 64. The drinking whole milk and all the great things you make from it, is part of the reason for the 260 lbs. I think weight training…

You make such a good point. There were a couple of times in my life when I was at a good weight and looked pretty good. I never knew it. I always thought I was fat. It was not until I had gain weight again and was looking at pictures of myself. I could not believe I had been that thin!!!! Our self image is half the battle.

We are our own worst enemy. I have lost a lot of friends over the years because of my weight. It was not because they shut me out but because I was so embarrassed by my weight I pull away from being with them. Even the best of friends get tried of trying to pull you out of the house after a while. It took me years to…

It is hard to believe that those pictures are of the same woman!! Thank you so much. I have lost 30+ but have over 90 lbs to go. Yesterday was one of those days that play head games with you. I keep thinking "who am I kidding" no way going to make it! Your story was just what I need this morning. Thank you for sharing. I…

You know what you need to do and I feel you are going to do it. Why. Because you are here telling the world (well soon of the world) you are upset with yourself. If you were going to keep pulling the covers up and go back to sleep, you would have faded a way without a word. I don't know if you will be out there in the…

I am a repeat too. Don't think I took this serious before. Good luck!

ev

You look amazing. I hope you can see yourself like we all do. It is hard sometimes to not see yourself as fat instead of what we all see. A truly beautiful person who "earned" every comment she has gotten. Good work!!!:drinker:

I am not a vegetarian although I rarely eat meat. I feel better when I don't eat meat regularly. I ready don't know why. Even if meat was as important as a lot of people assume, what kind of meat do most of them exactly eat? Given what we do to the meat in our faat and processed foods, I bet on the legumes, etc being a…

Wonderful! You look great! Enjoy you earned it.

My daughter and now my granddaughter went through the same thing.. I don't understand your feelings but I have seem the pain that something like this causes a couple. After two miscarriages, my daughter had three more healthy children. We do not know if my granddaughter will. I will keep both of you in my prayers. As hard…

Good loss even for the first week. Don't stay too far under your needed calorie count, it can make it harder in the long run. I don't know what long it takes for the body to think you are straving and slowing down but it can happen. Look long term and just take it a day at time. You will like what happens.

It might not work at all if you are not eating at least 1200 calories. Too few calories can sabotage you in the long run as too much can. I find exercise helps me mentally as much as anything, but I don't think it is necessary to losing weight. It probably is to better help but exercise comes in a lot of forms. Sure…

New Balance seem to fit me best but definitely look into a speciality store. Here the best places (and not at all more expensive than the Mall stores) are two places that sponsor a lot of the local runs and the running clubs frequent. I am NOT a runner but they really good with folks like me who never really know what to…

I am new too. Love friends to help me and to help.

I have have about 110 lbs to lose . Just starting out but I am trying to THINK about what I am eating. I am a big grazer just picking things up without thinking about what I am doing. If I can break that habit, I can do this. Good luck and keep moving!!

I just started today and I am 63 for a few more days. I got a lot to lose. I hope I can be successful but know I will need a lot of help. Sometimes I think it is not worth it at my age but I want to start traveling and would like to fit in an airplane seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in. Weight in at 212. today I am excited. First time in group or challenge!!!!!

49 LBS !!! Great job. But I really want to ask - what is a pescetarian. I am not sure what that means. Thanks.

It is so amazing that sometimes it is friends and FAMILY who seem to our worse enemies. I think that when my daughter lost her weight, although I was thrilled for her, if I was honest I would admit that I felt threatened by it too. It open doors for her and maybe I felt being overweight myself I would be left behind or…
