That's a fantastic idea! :)

It seems like there's always some new marketed way to lose weight, and none of them ever turn out to be true. I've been reading all of these things online about how taking so much a day helps to reduce body fat. It was the same thing when garcinia cambogia was in the spotlight. I wanted to make sure before I got any ideas…

Add me if you'd like :) Support is key when it comes to losing weight.

Feel free to add me. I've been here for almost a week. Haven't lost anything, but I'm hopeful and I keep myself motivated as much as possible.

Congrats on getting married soon! I was married in November, and I'm trying to lose weight before my husband graduates from basic training in May. My goal is to lose at least 70 lbs overall, but I know that's not going to happen by May so I'm settling for about 20. Add me if you like. :)

Welcome back :) Did WW work for you at all? I was always curious about it, but it just seems like an awful lot of money compared to doing this online for free.

Welcome to the 21 club!! Add me if you'd like!

Then read this link and all of the links in it: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants?page=1#posts-16625920 [/quote] Thank you, will do!

This is also not a joke, really. If I've just started doing this, and figured maybe I could lose even a pound in the first week and haven't, I'd like to have suggestions about it. It's always nice to learn new information about dieting and being healthy, especially when I don't know much about it to begin with.

Thank your brother for me as well! And thanks for the positive note!

Thanks everyone, I feel better. I figured I'd at least lost a pound but yeah, it does take time. I think the last time I lost weight, it took me four or five months to lose 30 pounds. I'm just over-worrying. It's made sense over the past week to worry more about this than my husband being at basic lol, so I'm probably…

That I've been working out every day when I can, and I skip a day if I can't.

That's great to hear about your fibromyalgia, or lack thereof! Congrats!

Hey! I've just started back up too. Haven't checked the scale to see if I've lost anything yet, but I feel better already. Feel free to add me; I could always use the motivation, and I always give motivation too!

That's a really big goal to hit! Your hiking goal totally trumps my goal of just losing weight haha. But really, that's a great goal to set, and it just goes to show that anything is possible and attainable. Congrats on being able to push yourself that far!

That's amazing. Congratulations on your success so far! I can't imagine what kind of hard work and motivation that took.

I know, it's hard to realize how much you've gained when you aren't constantly comparing yourself from day to day. A cookie here, an extra large shake there- it's so easy to put on the pounds.

I had no idea about this MyCAA thing! I've been peeking through this family informational center online forum thing that the army has, but I haven't seen a word about it, and honestly, I feel like I can't connect with too many people on there. Everyone's already 120-135 lbs and talking about wanting to lose weight and I'm…

Thanks :-) I'd love to be able to surprise my husband at his graduation, and I've got a lot of work ahead of me if I want to do that! Support will be the biggest thing for me!

Its not easy, but you can do it over time. Trust me, I feel like I blinked, and then BAM, I was like 50+ lbs heavier. Its a hard reality to face when you first start out, but take it moment by moment. The first step in losing weight is to make changes in your diet. Pick an item you over-eat, and make that your focus for a…

I'm 5'1 on a good day lol and need to lose at least 60 pounds. Add me :-) Having people to chat with makes it easier!!
