Had my VSG on 03/31, best decision, ever! I may struggle with stalls, but I am pushing through. We can do this together!

One co-worker is talking to her brother. He just told her he was going to watch the film 'Magic Mike' so he can see what all the hype is about. Hmm. Second co-worker is talking non-stop about her cats. One is clumsy and the other is always attacking her in her sleep. Help me!!!

After a life time of weight loss/weight gain, I made the decision 2 years ago that I had spent too much time being fat and miserable. I became very focused on becoming healthy. I lost close to 40lbs and was on track to becoming a full blown exercise junkie. I married the love of my life in October of 2010 and life was…

Oh, I can totally relate to this!! Bye bye..Ranch, Blue Cheese, and Thousand Island dressings. They just aren't worth it to me. I have stopped all fried foods (which is very hard when you live in the South!), pasta, and mayonnaise. I get nervous eating at a restaurant because I can't control how the food is prepared, and I…

I love your attitude and I know you'll reach your goal! I feel the exact same about my new venture on healthy living. I am not dieting this time; I am starting a lifestyle of health and balance. Thanks for sharing,

I am new, but very committed to finally getting healthy. Feel free to add me, I need all the support I can get and I promise to give support and encouragement in return.
