Thanks, Chopper. I appreciate hearing from you and your wonderful results. I'm so glad for you! And you give me hope!

Thanks, Fresh and Allan. I'm grateful for your responses. I've not heard much about muscle memory. I have been slowly but steadily building up my workout - I don't know if I'm supposed to feel exhausted when I'm done, but I usually do. I hope that this will eventually be energizing instead of draining. :-)

I belong to Planet Fitness. I am glad to be there. I use the Arc Trainer and the treadmill. I changed my membership from the $10 a month to the $20 contact membership because I can bring a guest with me. I bring my Mom, who has a difficult time walking, but does well on the treadmill. It's a great exercise for her. PF…

I hope you're doing well after surgery, Coral. I'm glad you have someone help take care of you after! I think not counting calories or tracking food is a good idea - I started to do this yesterday but decided not to do it yet. Perhaps I can start next week after I am able to be up and around more and can work more on my…

Thanks to all for your comments. I appreciate all the support. To you who have had surgery, I hope that you are healing/have healed well. It's good to know that that there is hope! To Purple, I hope your surgery goes well and that you are able to get back to a routine that will be helpful. If you have the weight gain, be…

I've wondered the same thing - as I lose weight, what happens to my skin? If I lose weight slowly, will skin slowly shrink as well?

I'm 47 years old and have 100 pounds to lose.

Thanks for the feedback. The website I was given is nutritiondata.self.com/help/inflammation. I was also looking at inflammationfactor.com. Actually, the information came from the person (doctor? nurse? Not sure what she is) at the Coumadin Clinic when I had my blood tested yesterday. She is encouraging me to go with less…

Oh, Thin Mints...I ordered my box today. Yes, they wonderful frozen!! But this year - I will exercise self-control and eat them in moderation. I promise myself that!

I also do not eat veggies or fruits as a general rule. The texture makes me gag and sometimes throw up. It's been that way ever since I was 10 years old. Despite all of the logical arguments of "do it anyway", and "grow up - veggies are a part of life," I just don't do it. Is that part of the reason I'm overweight? Sure -…

I've got so much work that needs to be done, but absolutely no energy to do it. Still recovering from having the stomach flu last week. Had to take down our Christmas tree and de-decorate the offices today at work too. No...energy...at...all....

I'm right there with you, V. I can't say I'm totally committed to this yet, but I know what I've done in the past simply doesn't work. So I started with this program this past Saturday, January 4th. Since I just had the flu and had basically cleaned out my system with being so sick, I thought it was a good time to look at…
