Hi Rebecca, I'm just restarting again myself. So I'll keep a look out for you!

Feel really proud of yourself. that's hard work. Thanks for the inspiration.

Let's hear it for Port Coquitlam!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story. I am sure it was not an easy journey and you must be so proud of yourself. You should be. You look amazing. So inspiring to hear that you took your time to make lifestyle changes instead of a diet. I'm on the same path - finally. Thanks for the showing me that it…

This is sooooo the right thread for me. I would really like a group of friends here who did tell it like it is. I'd like to be able to ask questions and have feedback, encouragement and give it back. So add me pretty please!!

Looks like I found the right board at the right time. Please add me too. I'm back to get this DONE once and for all. They say it's best not to do it alone. So friend up!!

Sent a FR. If anyone else wants to add me, feel free. :smile:

Funny! Good Luck with your vlog! I've thought about trying that myself. First..have to figure out how.

Hi, I've also got a big goal. I'm sending you both a FR. Anyone else feel free to add me. I very dedicated and believe in keeping motivated. I also love to review food journals too. I'll encourage you and kick your butt if you want me too!! Cheers, Hayley

Me too! Friends are great - plus the more support we all give each other the better this will be!

Ok.. I have my *kitten* kicking boots on. I love to review food journals and talk about what was eaten that day. Not to mention exercise challenges! I'm always down for new *kitten* kicking friends. I don't need wishy washy round here. This chica needs the stone cold truth!

My job is pretty stressful. I'm in an office, insurance stuff (Commercial, not health). I've noticed over the past few years that I've really "needed" that 3pm chocolate fix. Sometimes I found myself needing it at 9:30am!! So I've made some major changes in my work space. Firstly, I don't keep anything that is a trigger…

Hi, I'd like to add you too.

I have 105 to go to my "goal" weight. I totally believe it's possible. Add me as a friend if you want some motivational support. :smile: That goes for the rest of you - I love new friends.

Feel Free to add me. I'm super motivated and want to see others succeed too. :smile:

Mine is from Mighty Leaf. You can buy it online or in stores. They have bags or loose. I like Ginger Twist. "Ginger Twist is a harmonious mix of lemongrass, tropical fruits, and mint fueled with a touch of ginger and ginseng. A lush and magical infusion, Ginger Twist helps promote calm, focus and good health with a…

I thought there had been a lot of studies done on food and mood and their connections? What about how "the nutrients and food-based chemicals we consume can influence both the structure and function of our nerve cells (neurons) and the communicating chemicals (neurotransmitters) that make them work." (Quoted from Alive,…

Hi! I'm on the same path - I'll send a FR.

I'm 42 and DEFINATELY don't feel like I'm in my 40's. Although I do like to tell my coworkers who are in their 20's that they are just punk kids and don't know anything next to a sage in life like me. Other fab 40ishes, please feel free to add me too!

Well I sure learned a few things from this thread! 1. I think I'm eating too few calories maybe too. MFP has me at 1370 per day. I'm 259, with a 155 goal (Please, I know the numbers don't count worth crap, but they are just a framework which is fluid) I went to the site Dozzer mentioned, the fat2fitradio and got quite a…

cheeky. :happy: I wouldn't buy it, but the article made me laugh. Especially the miss piggy bit.

What a fantastic accomplishment. I honestly believe they must put some chemical or something in their food that tells our brain to bypass reason for exactly what you were experiencing. Eating there even when you're not hungry. I agree it is an addiction and should be treated as such. Seriously, why else would we do…

I'm so glad to see discussion on cleanses. For myself personnally, I wouldn't do one. The last thing I want to do is spend 3-5 days sitting in the bathroom yelling at my husband "PRIVACY PLEASE" as he comes even close to the door. Not to mention, I think it would hurt (if you know what I mean) Johnny Cash Syndrome.

I'm at 105 to go as well, I sent a friend request. I'd love to add some new friends.

I have one of those "Magic Bullet" Mixers - which I LOVE, so I can take a smoothie on the go no problem. I usually use a combination of the following for my base: Skim Milk (1/2 Cup - 1Cup) 1/2 a scoop of Vanilla 100% Whey Protien Powder 1-2 tbsp of 0% - 2% Greek Yogurt (Plain or Vanilla) Whatever I have on hand. I'll then…
