  • Hello Boot Strapper On-er! haha that's funny. I'm new and I am glad to meet you. Love the picture of the golden. My late husband and I raised them for years, such a great breed, loving and sweet. In the past, I've hit the diet ground running, lose fast and furious then burn out (last attempt resulted in losing 30 lbs in 5…

  • Good evening, this is my umpteenth attempt to lose weight. Lose 30, gain 40, lose 50, gain 70....yoyo dieting. I'm 62 and beginning to feel the physical effects of this, such as Type II diabetes, several ortho issues, hypertension. I like group support and connecting with people facing similar challenges. I'm here to…

  • I so get this and wish it weren't such a universal problem for addictive personalities, but it most likely is part of the very reason we are having this problem in the first place. I have struggled with taking responsibility for myself all my life. I have taken it personally. I have felt hopeless and helpless. I have…

  • There are a lot of miserable people in this world. Satan rules this worldly kingdom and he thrives on people being ugly to each other. I am so sorry these remarks came to your attention. They are not who you are. The remarks show callousness, immaturity and shallowness. You will notice, through your life, the type of…

  • Have you tried adding watermelon and cantaloupe to your meals? I think they are sort of secret weapons. You can eat a lot and get real full for very few calories, but lots of fiber and vitamins!

  • Weight loss is like other change of habit issues - we all blossom with encouragement. I want to be a part of the group too! Please add me. I've been around this weight loss / gain circus more times than I care to count and I'm ready to a life change, not a weight change. I know I need help from others who are struggling…
    in HI! Not new but I need buddies PLS :) Comment by pattypraises July 2013
  • For years, my life centered around two constants regarding my weight: winning or losing. This is probably why, at 57, I'm in this battle again. But things are different now. Not with circumstances, not with environment. With me. Weight has become health. Winning has become habits. Losing has become mercy. Having an…
    in I don't know what to do... :/ Comment by pattypraises July 2013
  • I'd like to join this discussion, need all the ideas I can get! I've been between 12 - 1500 since April 2013, also taking the food supplement that Dr. Oz calls "the holy grail of dieting" - I believe it is helping. Not a fan of diet aids, but this one has no side effects yet.
