Dani, my husband is over 400 pounds. he is on here with me to get healthy. if you would like to add me as a friend i would be happy to support you and have you on my support team. the most important thing to remember is every movement you do can burn calories. before you know it those pounds will melt away. have faith in…

you could try sugar-free chocolate or bite size. that way you can enjoy your chocolate guilt free. as long as you watch your amount. which is my big problem. lol.

your doing great! you might slow down a bit but, thats natural. keep going.

smart ones breakfast sandwishes are really good and give a energy burst. smoothies are good too and they can be quick and you can take them with you.

i switch to diet coke because of diabetes years ago. i did lose wieght, but, it wasn't easy giving it up. i had been hooked on coke since i was old enough to say coke. but, its all in you and what you want to do for your self. when i was pregant i had to give up caffeine, but i missed that soda burn. so i started drinking…

skinny cow is an awesome treat, so is bite size candy bars.

i live in a world of goofy. lol. but, you did make alot of sense. it is math...... 2 powdered doughs in the mouth added up to 20 pounds on my rear end. lol

you forgot the eat less, move more. then you get into the extreme that think if i skip breakfast, eat a side salad for lunch with no dressing and eat a very small dinner, excersise 8 hours a day and only drink water. i'll lose weight! WRONG!!!!!!!!! you might be a good looking corpse. you can't forget about the caveman…

i feel the same way about the YIKES! factor. but, thankfully there are a lot more healthy choices that taste great now then, there used to be. i did like what you wrote about the motivating yourself. im not even scared about being put on a high fiber diet today. lol

that was well said! i have had freinds like that all my life. thing i've learned their not always as happy on the inside as they seem on the outside. don't compare yourself to anyone. you be the most awesome you, you can be. from where i sit your pretty awesome! remember too, not only are those products expensive, they are…

i haven't heard of the apple one, sounds good though. i have to watch my fruit intake though. due to the high sugar content. high fiber foods do feel you up and keep you feeling full longer. also, don't have caffine when eating your eating your meals. caffine is a stimulate, so you feel hungry even though you are at your…

when i read your post, it sounded alot like myself in alot of what you said. i was the youngest, but still treated like a piece of crap most of the time by my mother and older sister. i think it was mostly because i was my abusive step fathers favorite (he was my sisters real father). i was his favorite because he didn't…

i saw that quote on facebook awhile back. lol. i will try that again, i've tried that in the past. the only problem is i catch myself in the mirror and my postive turns to a negative instantly. the funny thing about me in school was the people who didnt know me or thought i was a dork and didnt like me, thought i was shy…

your doing better then me. i dont even like to leave my house because of the way i look. again the whole i don't always practice what i preach. hahaha. im even trying to get out of going to my 20th high school reunion, just because ive gained so much weight. i love to go and see a few people but, im afraid of having to…

just remember the people that make you feel bad about yourself are just pointing at the flaws they feel about themselves. when you are at these funtions just tell yourself you are there to see the ones you love and the ones that love you. ignore the ones, are only there to bring you down. as for the food and drink, if you…

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Hope your day is as beautiful as our is today. You enjoy the day, dance around the house while doing housework or go for a walk even, if its around the local walmart or mall. Make the day yours. Hugs and loves to you all. :flowerforyou:

thanks so much for that. its hard to be honest about why i cant achieve my goals. now i have no place to hide. lol. cant wait for spring though, mabe i will be able to get around better and feel like getting out more.

Well said! i am very bad about treating my depression over my weight problem with food. But, with baby steps I'm learning that there are other ways to deal with it. One thing I have done is start a group so, we can have a place to talk about issues we are having that trigger our over eating and helpful solutions that…

so glad to have you as part of our group. i think it will help us all set our goals and no make any excuses, which is my downfall.

thank you for joining. i hope we can all start out 2013 healthy and help each other meet our fitness goals and begin living happier healther lives.
