I'm out here! This is also my third time on this site but really want to give it my all for 2 impending reasons: My niece is getting married the end of August and I will be seeing a lot of family that I haven't seen in a while. And I am starting nursing school in Sept. and I need to get off the extra weight so that I can…

Welcome friend!!! :flowerforyou:

You get back on that horse! :wink:

I feel the same way! You're so right - don't try to be perfect, just try.

You didn't know you would be so happy to see your waist, did you! Great job! I know the feeling! :wink:

Pamper yourself. Take a nice warm shower or bath, get in your jammies and cozy in with a good book or tv show. Tomorrow is another day! :flowerforyou:

Wow! Now THAT'S impressive! You are literally glowing with new self- confidence! :wink:

For whatever reason, yesterday I was very hungry all day - I ate some healthy snacks to get myself through but when I logged in everything I ate at 4pm, I only had 60 calories left! :sad: So, I bundled up (it was a bitter cold day here in Buffalo) and went for a 40 minute walk. I was sweating by the time i got home and I…

:flowerforyou: You should be so proud of yourself. That's a lot of weight to lose in 5 months!

I have the same problem but I tend to drink more from a straw and also I have a couple sensitive teeth so I drink it luke warm. I am up to about half the amount that I am suppose to drink but I figure it's better than nothing. Try a straw!! :drinker:

I'm from Hamburg, NY!! Welcome. Love this site, especially the success stories - they definitely keep me motivated. Hey, do you have a brother who lives in Hamburg? :smile:

Wowser!!! I'm impressed. :wink:

Hey, everyone has to reevaluate what they're doing right and what they're doing wrong. Ya just keep on trying and fine tuning. I keep telling myself "If I don't keep trying - then what is the alternative?" A half a pound is going in the right direction! Here's a pat on the back! :drinker:

You look great! You should be so proud of yourself. Give yourself a pat on the back frome me! :wink:

I feel like having my husband hide the scale for a month or so. I hear ya - it's frustrating to work sooo hard and not get a good number on the scale in return. Let's keep moving forward, though. What is our alternative? And don't forget: slow and steady wins the race! :flowerforyou:

Hi there! Welcome. I've been on this site for a little over a week and like you - I am really liking it. I relate to you about the exercise thing. It's hard to get myself motivated. I don't belong to a gym but I do love to walk. However, it's very, very cold here and icey so I really hesitate to walk right now. It's…

I lost 4 pounds! If that's fat, water or air - I lost it and feel better in my jeans. I use 1200 calories. As for exercise, I walked briskly a few days, snow shoed, and did that wii dance game which was a lot of fun. I definitely don't expect such a big loss next week. I intend to start adding some strength exercises. For…

I'm very excited about these. I think the family will love them too! thanks for taking the time to give that to us. :flowerforyou:

Don't even think twice about staying in bed! Be patient with yourself - you'll get the weight off. Just take care of yourself for today. Hope you're feeling better. :flowerforyou:

I like cut up cauliflower and hummus - but you have to measure out the hummus for 1 serving or else you can really take in quite a few too many calories if you dip right into the container. I like the combo of creamy and crunchy.

I'm 48 and not what you would call a fitness buff. I like to walk but really need to increase my strength and flexibility. I dream of doing a 5k but i'm not the running type. Maybe we could help each other in the exercise department. My 30 year high school reunion is this summer and I'd like to look my best. Some girls…

I'm from Hamburg, NY outside of Buffalo.

I fall by the wayside if I let myself get too hungry. I need snacks that will hold me over to the next meal, especially between lunch and dinner. When terrific hunger sets in - I tend to overeat in order to get rid of that nasty hunger feeling. I have learned to bring along an apple or an orange if I am running errands or…

Please count me in. Would love to lose 15 by the end of April. Height: 5' 1" I'm short Weight: 144 I'm pudgey Goal weight: 125 by this summer for my 30 year high school reunion.
