In my head and in my dreams I share your passion. In my real world I'm all over the place. I would love to be able to run. At this point in my life walk. I've been ignoring myself forever. I was here before and lost 40lbs and of course i lost track and here I am again. Emotionally I am so hard on myself. NO EXCUSES the…

just start- baby steps- change one thing ( a bad habit) just change it! I know its hard I know what it feels like to be sick because you have abused your body. I know what it feels like to walk one block and be out of breath because your too big to move and your legs hurt because they cannot support you anymore. I cried…

I have no excuses after seeing this... so inspirational

You can do this - take a deep breathe and just do it. Start small with every decision- choice- Don't think of the big picture just think of the MOMENT. Its all about choices. Do you choose to be healthy or NOT? Do you choose to exercise or sit on the couch and watch the world play while you get bigger and unhealther? ITS…

Nice - Happy for you

great!!!!!!!!!!!! the mind is a powerful thing

I'm here - been here from the start- got side tracked last week - but Im back

Hoorah- so happy for you- ME- I gained 3 lbs-:( - Did not exercise - did not log food for 3 days - but I am confessing and I am determined to RIDE that HORSE again. This is my life and I want to live it not be held down by excess weight and health issues. This week again I will exercise at least 4 days this week and I will…

It's Monday Morning- Weigehed in and lost 2.4 lbs. SO happy- because last week was not a good exercise week for me. Only worked out 3 days last week. I'm surprised I lost anything at all. Last week was so stressful for me. I wanted to put something in my mouth every second of the day-But I chose not to and kept thinking of…

Raisin Bran- yes even as a kid...........always loved it

Great- I' happy for you

Sucess story- I put a pair of pants on today and they are entirely tooo big - shirt is hanging off? I think I must have lost inches. Will have to measure this weekend. Feels good to be in control. Cathy I must say I am a grazer- so the snacking or eating small portions all day really works for me. I never feel hungry and…

Hi My Sweethearts, Duh - sorry I have not been participating in discussion or cheerleading. Still learning how to naviagate in the app.... didn't realize I should be going back to the topic section to find our little group. Cathy so proud of you for your weight loss. Hmm my success is just doing it. My mind is made up and…

Okay- I have one question- How much damage can one teaspoon of graunulated (white sugar) a day be for you. This is what I put in my coffee? I've tried artificial sweeteners and all of them taste like poison to me.

Hmmm never thought of it this way. Now I know what my husband means when he says its not all about the way you look. I never got it until now.

My husband has stated the same thing.. He has always told me that we as woman are too hard on ourselves. There is something beautiful or hot as you say in every woman. My hotness is my eyes (so I've been told) and my bodacious ahem... U get what I'm saying. Thanks for the smile. I was needing it today.

Your adoreable- WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Great, awesome...........sooooo happy for you.

R u kidding. He really said that. How selfish and inconsiderate. I'm furious with him and I don't even know him. I am so blessed because my husband married a fat woman 245 pounds when we wed. He is a HOTTIE and I mean Hottie. He has always loved me for me and has never insulted me only encouraged me to be the most…

as a kid my mom would buy margarine and I refused to eat it- always tasted like poison to me. Margarine has never been a part of my diet and never will be. great post

You look so healthy and strong. Amazing. I wanna be You. Just started but My MIND IS SET. Healthy is my plan and feeling GREAT. Not all about the way I look just want to be able to PLAY and MOVE without my body hurting. Both of you are truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Joe -- Bravo- I am so proud of you. Every success story I read is like I'm reading my own ---lol even though I'm not there yet- I can taste it and feel it. I'm finally passionate about me. Again Bravo....

Friend me- like you I need all the support I can get. Just do it. Log your food and KNow YOU ARE WORTH IT.:wink:

Cathy - your a star and I could never take your lime light.:wink: We are here to cheer each other on and any inspiration is welcomed and appreciated. Forgot to mention on my post - My goal last week was to log in everyday and account for everything I put in my mouth. TTYL- Mary

This is great and I am so excited to be here. My assigned week is okay with me. My goal for the week is to exercise everyday. I'm looking forward to chatting with all of you. Happy Monday :smile: :smile:

Your inspiring. thanks for sharing

wow I am on the same journey- have to lose over 100 pounds... You r truly an inspiration.

I'm so excited to be here with all of you. Thanks for the support and all of the LOVE.... My Kids - I have 3 boys and they are in the kitchen washing the dishes and cleaning up so I don't have to do it. I am truly blessed to have them and of course all of you for so much continured support.

I was getting frustrated because I started exercising and watching my calorie intake on January 10. I have only lost 5 pounds. Seems a bit discouraging but my husband keeps telling me like you- "babe your losing inches and gaining muscle so don't worry it will come off". My metabolism has been dormant for so long it needs…

First and foremost do not be ashamed of eating the whole bag. Its over and done with. Pick yourself up and start anew. You can do it. My trigger food? I don't have one. Stress triggers me to want salty snacks so I do still have them but I only have one portion and I'm satisfied. I never eat from the bag. The past is the…

Welcome and you are so right- the calories add up so fast. It made me realize how much I was really taking in each day with mindless eating. Now when I want to binge I remember the word FLAB. Frustrated-Lonely-Anxious-Bored----if I am one of them - I take a walk and do something. If you get to understand your driggers you…
