I agree!!!! You can get nutritional information on just about any restaraunt online now!!!! Have fun and don't be so hard on yourself.

jsherrill92 you are very handsome!

I have a lot of health problems and yes my LDL is very high and my doctor said that I had to watch my diet but I am also on cholesterol meds too. It can be done. I am also pre diabetic so I also have to watch fat intake for that too. Bev

My daughter and I have both said this very same thing!!!! I don't believe that we are actually meant to be fat but I know that we all feel that way sometime or other!!! hang in there.....you can do this and we are all here for you. I have about the same family history and background on the diet and things. Hugs

time2bhealthy 10 you are beautiful!!!

I agree!!! Congratulations!!!

You need to try to eat all of your calories that is allotted for you. Your sodium intake is way to high and you are not drinking water. I have learned (the hard way believe me) that you have to have the water to flush out the sodium. I also agree that you are weighing yourself too often. I weigh once a week, on the same…

I try to log everyday good or bad!! I had a day not too long ago where I had consumed over 3000 mgs of sodium in one day!!!!!! I think I am still drinking water to flush it out....LOL Logging on my bad days reminds me that I am not perfect but that I need to stay on track so that I can continue to lose. Hang in there and…

Wow!!!....I read your whole story and you are truly an inspiration to all of us!! I am so sorry for all you have been through but you have conquered and come out on top so far and I know that you can do AND accomplish anything and everything that you take on!!! I am pretty close to you geographically and would love to be…

allison_joan You have a beautiful family!!

ma I think it is awesome that you are so committed to changing your life style!

I am so proud of you and I am sure your family is too!!! You have made 2 major steps in making this happen: 1) Admitting what the problem is/was (which by the way takes a lot of guts!!!) and #2) you have made improvements and are going in the right direction. You may not have much support at home but you have LOTS of…

Bad health reports from 3 doctors, seeing myself in the mirror sitting waiting for the doctors and a lot of bad health history in my family. I need to do this for me now!!!!

Hello and welcome!!! I am 54, a Christian wife, mom and grandmother and I would love to be your friend!!! Please check out my profile and add me if you would like. I look forward to taking this journey with you. Hugs Bev

My morning started with me over sleeping, eating a bagel for breakfast and going to the doctor.....who by the way put me on a diabetic diet.....I hate figuring one fat here/one carb here etc......Oh well maybe the rest of the week will go better

This is me also.....I have cut way down but not given it up yet!

I just wanted to report that I got in 150 arm curls done with 2 lb weights yesterday.

I am in too. I will do what I can as I have had 3 back surgeries and can't do much with weights or do a lot at one time. I like the small challenges. I could not access the video but I know what arm curls are. thanks

I am sending you a friend request as I am 54 and trying to lose 60 lbs. We can do this together!!! I am always looking for friends around my age too. Hugs Bev

Well I am older than most of you but here goes: My starting weight was 195 Current weight 191 Goal weight is 130

This is an awesome idea!!! 1. I love my that my husband is such a hard worker and great provider. 2. I love that my husband can fix just about anything!! 3. I love my husbands strong arms which I feel safe in. 4. I love that he is still my soulmate after 26 years and lots of trials in our marriage. 5. I love that my…

I understand that everyone is different but I don't think that ignoring your family is the answer. I didn't have much support either but I just told my family that I have to do this and I have to eat healthy and if they want something else then they can eat whatever they wanted. My husband would always fuss about me fixing…

I am also a diet coke addict and have tried stopping but have never made it more than a couple days at a time. It is very hard to break, Thanks for the reminder and I am on the road again to trying to give it up or at least start cutting down on it.

You are doing a wonderful job!!!! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!!! We are all behind you 100%

I did a biggest loser challenge at Curves and did really well until Christmas....then gained it all back. I just reset my starting weight a few minutes ago right before I saw this post!!! I felt this is a new year, new start and I should start with a clean slate. We can do this!!! My Jan goal is to lose 10 lbs this month.…
