Here I go again! I'm going to try to start making better, healthier decisions. My friend gave me her Fitbit. I think it does help me be more aware of step, and such. I hope everyone is doing well in the New Year.

I've lost 5 pounds... and ready to lose more. I have a vacation the end of July so I really would like to take off another 10 by then. My daughter and her boyfriend have started a diet too, so it will be easier. I will check in. I love to hear about low carb recipes. I love the healthy food, I just don't take the time to…

Checking in after a LONG, Long time!! I would really like to lose 25 pounds by July 30th! My husband surprised me with a 30th wedding anniversary trip to Disney World!! I am so excited!! I would like to be in shape though to walk around. I can walk, but I feel so much better if I am in shape. Disney is a lot of walking! I…

I've been married for 29 1/2 years. I married my best friend. We have always had fun and laugh together. He sometimes gets selfish and acts like a jerk, but so do I. The thing I have realized now is that the things that bother me really don't matter. I don't have to TELL him every time he's being selfish. Sometimes we will…

Well, I'm BACK! I joined this motivating Discussion Board the end of June. I lost 14 pounds before my trip to Disney World. I know that Christmas and the holidays have helped me gain weight! I am a teacher, and it's been so nice to be off school. SO, I am going to try to change my eating habits around. I need to start to…

Annr, I just read your post about the dog that wasn't on a leash. I don't understand people. She was WRONG...didn't want to face it...and GOT personal!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? YOU did the right thing!! I hope they gave her a ticket! Dogs can turn on anyone in a second!!!

Hi Everyone!! After losing 14 pounds and going to Disney World, AND starting school... I haven't been a good poster!! I started my diet July 2nd and as of now, I have gained 6 pounds back. I have been making okay food choices, but I added some carbs back and I haven't exercised at all. I do get to walk all around my school…

Good morning my friends!! I'm almost in shock.. but I've lost two more pounds. That is 13 in all!!!! WHOOP WHOOP!! I have also made the decision that I'm not going to go CRAZY eating at Disney World. I will have dessert, or a special meal, but I'm not going to overdo it!! I will be walking like crazy anyway! Do any of you…

Good morning friends!! I had a great weekend!! Except I went to our lake camp and because I was so white...I got burnt to a crisp!! SO, I had to stay home yesterday. I NEED some advice.

Hi everyone!! I'm back and ready to take on another week. I have really been planning what I eat, and making better choices. I have filled my food diary every day since July 2nd. I think I only went over 2 days. I am now down 5 pounds - 1/2 of my goal by August 9th. I think I can do this!! 5 more pounds to go!!! I do need…

Renny, Thanks for the ideas!! I was also thinking when I was eating out that most places have some sort of salad. Even if I eat something off my diet...I can always try to just eat less. I need to go buy some snacks for the train ride. Traveling is fun, but not great when trying to watch!!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your ideas and encouragement!! I get new ideas and strength from each one of you. When I start to get a little cranky about dieting, I log on and start reading!!

Good morning to everyone... I'm pretty excited because I've finished my first week of "the food changes" ..lol! I lost 3 pounds of my 10 pound goal. I have realized that now that if I kinda plan my food, I eat better. I still haven't gotten enough exercise, but I get up early and go to work...but I only have one more day…

4th of July dessert. Sugar free vanilla pudding, lite cool whip, strawberries, blueberries and (optional - angel food cake in small pieces) It was really good!!

Quiche - egg, cheese, thinly sliced ham, mushrooms, green pepper, and broccoli. It was really good!! NO carbs!!

Just finished my food diary. Tomorrow will be one week. I am excited to weigh myself. We will see!! When I work, I had the bad habit of eating late. I need to stop that. I even had food prepared this evening. By the time I cook for everyone though, it just gets too late! AGAIN...this group is so supportive!! It makes me…

Had a great day today!! I had to work and everyone went to the food court and ate Chick-fil-a, and Chinese, and other foods. I went to Sbarro and had a tomato and cucumber salad and a fruit bowl. It was really good. Everyone said, " Look at you eating healthy!" I usually have a big ole bowl of Chinese food. I made an…

Everyone..thanks for the words of wisdom and the support!! Katla49, Terri_mom, janetr7476, and margaretturk!! You all have great ideas and help that I NEED!! I LOVE the strawberry salad.

I'm so glad I have this message board to come to!! I want to lose weight so badly! I know I just have to keep my mind focused. My old excuse was...."I don't really care about what people think of me!" BUT...It's not about others, it's about me and my HEALTH!! I have to do it!! SO, my best friend and I decided July 1st that…

Thanks for all the encouragement! I am so glad I found this group!! Had a cookout yesterday with the family. I tried to eat better...and I did!! I made a low-cal low sugar dessert for everyone and they LOVED it!! Have you ever been kind of selfish about your "diet" food? LOL!! I wanted everyone to eat the Oreo cookie ice…
