Don't worry! Today is a new day and get yourself going again.

Best of luck! We're all in this together!!!

Reading your threads are special, please never stop! Thank you!

Hi! I love reading this post because it helps me acknowledge that I love to drink and don't want to stop cause I'm trying to lose weight. Reading that others are just like me helps me feel less guilty! There's so much I do to maintain a healthy life style and I'm working hard to lose my weight. I just don't want to deny…

This site should help you! I've been here a few weeks and it's making a difference. I just couldn't stay focused and constantly failed. Having to document and knowing I can come here to express myself is helping. I don't think there's anything new in the diet world, still the same "eat right, limit portions, and exercise."…

I'm happy to cheer you on...I need all the help I can get also. As soon as you feel like eating and it's not time, come to the site and write. I bet one of us will answer. Good luck! We all know the struggle!

Glad to have you aboard! Good luck. This is a great site.

I am so happy to join this group! I LOVE wine and I don't think it's a crime to be a social drinker. I have wine every day and have switched to red for a healthier benefit. I feel as long as I account for it in my calories and exercise I'm good. Let's wine and carefully dine, together. Raise a glass to wish us all…

Day by day...that's the way it goes for all of us trying to learn to control our "addictions." I am with you on this and I feel so proud at the end of the day when I've reached by goal. Then I am ready to begin a new day!

Great message! It's good to know how many of us struggle with the same problem. I'm gonna keep fighting cause this is one battle I want to win! Having to be honest is helping me because I think I've always "cheated" before by not counting everything I put in my mouth!

Screen name: Determined Lady Goal for February 28th: 150 February 1st (starting weight): 157 February 8th: 156.5 February 15th: February 22nd: February 28th: I'm disappointed! I had hoped for a whole pound!

You should be VERY proud of yourself!!!! Great Job!

We're here for you. I just started and am really enjoying reading and keeping focus with others on this site. Keep coming back and I think we can help each other! We are all in this together!

Come On...You can do this...I've just joined and there's a bunch of us. Do it with us nd we'll help each other. I needn you and you need me. Let's help each other day by day!!!

Hey! Good for you!!!! It would be great to get his support, but remember you are doing this for YOU!!! It's not his choice but YOURS. The more you gain independence, the more he may feel threaten....but that's his problem, not yours. Do it for You and YOUR health. He should come around eventually, but in the meantime,…

Please carefully read all the insights given you...there's nothing that I could add to only to say that after you ponder all these thoughts, the answer you seek will come in your own heart. Listen to your inner voice and go with that. Only you will have to live with the consequences. You will have to feel you did the right…

Weight - Feb.1 - 157 lbs. Great start for me. Now I have to be careful not to feast in celebration!! Good luck everyone!

OK! I'm in! Now what happens? Screen name: jfgstrack1 Goal for February 28th: 150 February 1st : February 8th: February 15th: February 22nd: February 28th:

You don't weigh very much...Maybe you're just right!

Well, I did the same thing Saturday night and I feel your pain! Yesterday I got back on track and have vowed to stay on track, AGAIN!!! I keep on "falling" and it's good to know others do also. Let's just keep in mind that everyday day is a new beginning and try to focus on that day. Maybe, we can make more good days, then…

I really enjoyed reading the words of encouragement. It's good to know there's so many out there to help out.

Great idea to call them throw-aways. I have them too often and that upsets me!

My vent... I try and try and NOTHING! THEN,Yesterday I blew the whole day BECAUSE I went to a birthday party and ate and drank 1300 cal. in i sitting. I'm mad at me and discouraged at the same time. Who else out there blows it whenever an event comes up? I get so tired of having to be careful all the time. How long does it…

Good for you! I just joined also and I'm hoping that these communications will keep me motivated! Good luck.

Way to go...Iam just starting and it's great to see someone having made their first goal!

I think you should spoil yourself and eat when you are hungry. Then get on track feeling better!

OK! I'm in. My goal is to really stick to that 1270 calories a day that has been recommended for me. Even on weekends! I need to stop grabbing a bite here and there and not accounting for it. I've been trying for over a year and haven't lost a pound, so obviously I'm doing something wrong. I hope that writing and counting…

It sounds like you have tried to lose many times before. Me too! Maybe this time it will work. I hope so for both of us! Good luck!
