  • Well, another cold day here in the frozen upper midwest! but getting warmer. Wish we got Chinook winds here! lol Someone mentioned that it's hard for her to keep her calories under 1200/day.

  • Hey all, Well, I'm not sure if it's from being sick and living on TONS of water and not much food, or from eating only the healthy stuff on my diet, but the scale this morning got me under 200!! That's pretty consistent with my initial goal of 2 lbs a week. Still feeling crappy, but better. Dang flu bug! At least I havent'…

  • I'm brand new to the site and over 50 (54).....need to get healthier and gain energy and I think the way to do that is to lose about 40 lbs. I'm planning on eating better, no junk food (not even chocolate!) and excercising more. My daughter is a fitness queen so I have her to help me and for inspiration!
