Hi I'm Jody, a 64 year old special education teacher from Texas. I'm tired of it. Period. This time. This time. 90-day Phase Goals Highest Weight: 348 Starting Weight: 329 Current Weight: 316 Goal Weight: 180 Phase 1: 09/01/13-10/01/13 15lb (329---->314) Phase 2: 10/02/13-11/01/13 12lb (314---->302) Phase 3:…

I so appreciate this article. I read it with great interest. I believe the author hits the nail on the head. While a calorie is a calorie, I know that a chicken breast is better for me, and makes me feel better physically, than a coke. Simple.

Just be careful about the kinds of fruit you eat. There are some that are lower in sugar. Best of luck to you!

You are absolutely right.

How can your goal be 1200 calories a day? Please reconsider that. :wink:

This so motivates me. Thank you so much.

I agree. I read the Snopes rebuttal, but I wonder if we can actually trust the feds to tell us the truth...That would be the rub here. I cannot believe that any of these chemicals are actually not harmful. I say it again. Water is the best. Now...which water?

I , too, Snoped this. They claim it isn't true, but who are "they"? I have to wonder.

Sounds wonderful

I will accept all friend requests from this thread. We are all in this together. I have requested most of you, I think.

I will! Gladly.

Congratulations!

You look wonderful! Keep up the hard work!

I so understand what you are going through. I have done the same thing. I always wonder how it happened. For me it starts with thinking I can eat sugar. I can't. It results in a binge that will last from months to years. I always get fatter than I was to begin with. I am now 64, so I urge you young women and men to do it…

I am new and not too sure I know what to do, but...I am ready and committed. :smile:

I do I do!!!!!

I really resent the "that's what the search is for" crap. I didn't even know I could use a search feature. I assume most other new people don't either. I think the comments about needing the conversation, not just reading old posts, is absolutely right on. If it's old news to you...don't answer.

You go! I don't think I want to know what goes into our fast food. Pink slime in McNuggets is as far as I can stand to go.

Love your hat

You have great glasses!

Carbs are my sworn enemy. I cannot have above 50 a day or losing comes to a halt.

LOL

LOL...I thought I was the only one who didn't know what it was!

My one BIG rule is NO WHITE STUFF. I also do not drink at all with meals.

What is your secret???

Great job!

I love the tracker, too. I love that it's free. I really appreciate that it tracks so many things for you. Ok. I will talk to you tomorrow!

PS That "39 lbs to go is just to my first goal. I want to lose 100#

Hi. I'm so sorry your are coping with a disease AND struggling to lose weight. It's hard without that to deal with, but we can do this. I look around me and see others who have lost it and kept it off and wonder, "Why not me?" Well, this time, it's going to be us. Feel free to write me anytime. I am praying you have a…
