  • The good news is since you've tried this before you already have a leg-up by being pre-educated about healty foods and the importance of exercise. It's just a matter of finally being ready to put that knowledge to good use.The food diary on here is excellent. Pre-log your food in the morning and stick to it. I'm from…

  • Don't beat yourself up...changing a lifestyle is hard work. I couldn't see your info...do you utilize the food diary? It has been such an awesome tool for me.

  • Hello Dave, First off, kudos to you for realizing you need to make a change and reaching out for support! Not being able to be as active as you would like is depressing, I'm sure.

If I'm craving carbs my go-to is decaf coffee and a few chocolate biscotti (Nonni's Decadence flavor is divine). Not sure how healthy those options really are, but I can stay within my…

  • Wow...good article. I had heard in the past that certain chemicals related to the break down of aspartame do not leave your body but build to toxic levels. I've never taken up diet soda because the few times I've tried it I get the shakes. A wierd reaction that I'm now very thankful for. But water and unsweetened tea do…

  • Hello, Trixta! A friend told me about this site months ago, and I'm hoping that connecting to others going through the same process will help me feel more accountable. I am 47 years old and have over 70 pounds to lose. I've been gaining an average of 10 pounds a year for too many years to count! I have a lovely…
