Congrats, Diva! I need to hear this kind of encouragement, since I decided o try NS on Friday, January 15th. So far, I've 5lbs, unfortunately I have a long way to go. I would like to lose 50 lbs by my wedding in October of this year. So, even if I lose half of the 50lbs, I will feel like it's a win. Thanks for sharing.

Buffy, did you lose weight using NS? That's so encouraging. I started NS on Friday, January 15 and so far, I've lost 5 lbs. I'm hoping it will, continue, but will be happy with any weight loss. I want to lose 50 lbs by the time I get married in October of this year. However, I need to lose way more than that to continue to…

Congrats! I'm engaged too, trying to lose 50lbs for my wedding in October of this year. However, I won't be unahppy if I I lose half that. I too started Nutrisystem on Friday, January 15th. I've already lost 5 lbs this first week, which I realize probably won't continue, but it would be nice:) Yes, let's support one…

Thanks for all the GREAT responses to my post. I'm so encouraged by everyone's advice and knowledge. Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!

I had some bld wk done because I can't seem to lose weight. Instead I keep gaining and it's really frustrating. So, she suspects sugar is the problem and wants me to cut it out for a month as well as only eat 1200-1500 calories a day and more of a low carb/high protein ratio. It's gonna be so hard for me.

WOOT!!! WOOT!!! As my Mom would say, "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". Great job! Love the title of your post too...:)

Such a sweet thing to say.

Is it too late to join this group? It's been my goal to make at least 230-300mins every week. So far I've been doing it. I won't lie it's a struggle some nights, but I read a book by Dr. Phil where he says the only way to successfully lose weight is to exercise 300 mins every week. So, that's my goal every week, but so I…

I'm a nurse and sadly I'm obese. I'd like to think that it's due to the long hours and not as much time to work out. However, now that I'm taking better care of my body and packing my lunches and snacks and finding the time to workout, I'm not so sure. I can say that it's a hard profession, and sometimes the stress leads…

This used to happen to me all the time, it's a dip in your blood sugar. This is what you do....Buy 100% grape juice, not grape cocktail and drink 1-2oz of it when the cravings begin. The grape juice helps to level out your blood sugar and it stops the binge eating. Hope this helps!:drinker:

Hey there, Bill! I had had the same problem with exercise as you describe that you do. I had to push myself everytime and like you was paying for a membership that I wasn't using. Here's what motivated me... A. Find something you enjoy doing, then it doesn't feel like a chore: for me, I enjoy swimming laps, bicycling on…

Very cool and fun to look at. Congrats on all the great weight loss!

I agree...love his positive attitude:flowerforyou:

You've come to the right place. I think you'll find MFP to be as motivating as I do. Take a look at the "Success Stories" especially the ones with pics--talk about inspiration. Add me, we can help each other. I have 68lbs to lose and I KNOW we can BOTH do it!!!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Wow...great job! And cool trick getting the pic to switch like that:)

Wow...Look at your abs! How'd you get those abs?

bump...I wanna save this for when I'm working out atleast 300 mins a week.

When was your last physical with your primary doctor? You may wanna have some labs drawn to check your thyroid, Vit D, and whatever else your doc thinks. Just saying, I had similar symptoms and found out I have hypothyroid. Hopefully, it's not the same for you. Always good to check these things out with your doctor too.…

Great job! I love how in a person's orginal pic they look doom and gloom. Then as we lose weight and start gaining muscle and feeling better about ourselves, our whole persona changes to a proud and in charge! BTW...Where do we buy tickets to the gun show? hehe Seriously, though...you have great muscles...congrats on all…
