Just wanted to pop in here at the end of my day (Monday). I had a fabulous day yesterday. I call my long walks with friends "therapy" and I had 2 hours of it yesterday with my friend. It was so good to catch up. She is so motivating and it kept me WAY under my cal goal. My name is Michelle and I sell Medicare insurance…

That's insane! Maybe a few years after you've been together is ok, but that long is just insulting! Ugh this is prob why I'm still single, I can't deal with people! lol[/quote] Last time they did in front of my son he burst out laughing at them. I think it shamed them because I haven't been called Debbie in months. LOL…

Okay Tough Question. How many of you have taken your "before' pictures? I know you feel embarrassed, because I do. But I want to be able to see my progress even if no one else ever sees them. So challenge for today is go take your BEFORE pictures.

My DH's family still calls me Debbie after 20 years. My name is Michelle.

@MKEgal, I am doing a vegan cleanse for 6 days. The nutrients in the shake I drink help cleanse the liver and kidneys. I have seen my triglycerides go from 300 to 120 and my cholesterol from 230 to 178. Many foods can help you help your body function at its best. I like the cleanse because it helps me not crave junk food…

That is AWESOME! Such an inspiration

Oops and Gentlemen. Sorry I almost forgot there were guys in here.

Good Morning Ladies! And thank you to all of you who added me to their friends. I really appreciate the support.

Good Morning Everyone! Thanks you to all of you who added me as friends. the support really brightens my day,

If you ball up aluminum foil and place the bottom of your crock pot then place the seasoned whole roasting chicken on top you will get a nice rotisserie style chicken.

Congrats Robin! I know as a 100+ er that having someone who knows what it is like to feel overwhelmed by the journey lend a hand really helps.

Hello Everyone. I will not lie, I did not read all 638 pages of posts. I just skipped to the last page. I am in need of losing 110 pounds. My fitness plan is walking with my friend M-F. The trail is almost 3 miles. I want to eat cleaner in the New Year, avoid processed and fried foods. Thanks @Morgori for the positivity. I…

Congratulations! What an inspiration.

ethibault1978- Great job losing 9 pounds! that is awesome! -

SeeKay- I am doing a cleanse as well. Day two also. I have done this before and really helped me jump start my weight loss and helped me overcome my sugar cravings.

I would love to join you too. I have about 110 to lose.

I did it too. Lost 13 pounds and it stopped all my sugar cravings.

Good for you Girl! The fact that you did it at all is a win. 22 minutes is AWESOME!

Nice to meet you. Thank you for adding me.

Wow it is so nice to meet all of you. Why now? Because I don't want to live my life on medication and with aches and pains. I will be 47 this year and if I don't change now then when? I have two boys one in High school and one in Jr high. I want to be a good example and I want them to be healthy too. What is different? I…

Welcome and good luck! I know the diary really helps to keep you accountable. and the phone app makes it super easy.

Hello everyone. I am 47 and have 100 pounds to lose as well. Maybe even 110 pounds. I am glad that this group was started.

I am parenting a teen who has being a teen disorder. I feel ya sister. I am adding you now.

I just wanted to acknowledge your story and your bravery in sharing it. We are only as sick as our secrets. Forgiving your father is a great first step. Forgiving yourself should be the next gift you give your family. My story is very different. But in the end I just want to be healthy for my family. I had the gallstones.…

Definitely eat first. Eat really good nourishing things. Then to stave off the family questions try carrying around a dish with some food on it . Stir it occasionally so people think you are eating. Then as people finish eating just set it down and walk away. If someone asks tell them you just put your plate down.

Wrap your chest with an ace bandage. That is what I used to do when I couldn't find a sports bra big enough. (40DDD.)
