Thank you for the advice Tcunbeliever..... you are so right about the thyroid. RodaRose Unfortunately there isn't a planet fitness near my home and I don't like regular gyms....too intimidating. Planet fitness is great.

Thank you SAHM247 and I will tell my husband. Please thank your husband as well. I appreciate him working to protect all of us. It can't be easy when he goes out the door every day. We have signs outside our home showing that we back the blue and appreciate their service to our community.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the site and continue doing well and being happy. I used this site once before and was losing weight and then life happened and I had to stop. I just started back this week with a new purpose so hopefully it goes well. The biggest tip I can share is to watch your sugar intake and make sure you get…

What I posted about milk was what I read on one site that talked about it: I put milk in my tea (the yankee in me was raised that way LOL) the website says to NOT add milk to your tea if you want the fat-burning affects. Milk binds to the fat-burning compounds and prevents them from being absorbed in the body. So NO more…

Thank you Everyone! I currently only drink one cup of coffee in the morning and then drink nothing but water all day so I never get any caffeine after that first cup of coffee. I like hot tea and the health benefits for your heart and everything that they mention is reason enough for me to give it a try and start drinking…

I know you are young but you have to be careful with nuts when it comes to your colon. They do not process properly and in the long run can cause you issue. Great source of protein but you want to watch that you don't overdo them. Doctor told me that one at my last visit so I'm sharing the info. :-)

Thanks Mishy! Support is going to help for sure.

Thanks 9Jane and 4audacious1. Getting the meds for my thyroid checked is on the list of things to do. 9Jane....89 lbs lost. OMG! In my dreams. I so need to loose that much. I pray I will see it some day.....maybe..... 4audacious1......I told two of my friends at lunch today; they wanted Mexican food and I told them sorry;…

Hi Susan.....I agree with you; the support here seems to be outstanding. I feel what you are saying completely. Together we can do it. :-) I sent you a friend request so we can encourage each other. :-)

hopetoachieve.......AMEN! I am embarressed for my husband when we go out places because he is with an overweight person and I am ashamed of myself. He does not appear to be though and will have his arm around me happily introducing me to everyone. I guess that is true love and after 24 years I guess that is a great thing.…

Thanks Mary! You hang in there too. Sounds like there are a lot of people in the same spot I am. I don't know about you but it helps to see I am not alone.

Thanks Paula. My name is Dawn. Yes I am taking medicine and have been for 32 years. Twelve years ago I had myself in shape and was working out every day in the livingroom. while watching tv; then I had a medical issue and had to have a bone replaced in my neck and could not do anything for 4 months. After that I could not…

My husband is very supportive and loves me no matter what. He is a Navy man and does not have a weight problem. If he gains two pounds he starts running around our neighborhood and looses it quick. So unfortunately that is not an option for us. Plus I am very self consious doing exercise around him.

Thanks Candy.....sounds good......Dawn
