I find portioning and planning my meals the day before helps me to stay away from the "quick fix". When it comes to sugar...the only thing that truly works for me is to totally cut it out. I did that when I first starting this back in January. I did really well and ate NO added sugars for five months. I'm going to do the…

Welcome. This site is great. Everyone is so nice, supportive, and encouraging. Anyone can feel free to add me. Good luck to all of you on your journey!!!

Hi Kasy, welcome to the group. People here are great. Friendly, motivating, helpful, and inspiring. I've only been on the site for about a week, and I love it. Feel free to add me, and good luck on your journey.

All wonderful motivators. Mine are: 1. Learning to love the skin I'm in. 2. Emotional health as well as physical 3. Not having to shop at plus stores 4. Keeping up with, and going beyond the success I've already had 5. Being the fit friend/sister And jdhoward_101, words of wisdom you can tell your skinny roommate, "Skinny…

I'm in! It's not a dramatic change if it's done in a healthy gradual way. I started my journey January this year and have lost 48lbs. I still have 34 to go, but I know I can so do it. This site has been a huge help already, and I've been a member for a few days. Congrats on your six pounds Sashoi! Let's do this ladies!!!

Congratulations on the baby. That's always a great motivator. I'm new here and have met wonderful encouraging people. We're all in the same boat...trying to make changes for the better. Any way that I can support and encourage I totally will. Good luck on your journey.

Welcome back, and congrats on losing ten pounds. Happy to help out when ever I can!

Welcome back! Feel free to add me (that goes for anyone else too :smile:). I wish you all luck on your journeys. Keep Pressing Play!

Right there with ya. The game cartridges that loaded in the top lol. Love anime (Escaflowne, Ouran High School Host Club, GITS), comics, video games (old and new), and Sci-fi. Welcome to the collective, and good luck on your journey. Anyone and everyone is welcome to add me! Keep Pressing Play!!!

At least you faced your fear and have decided to make the change. Way to go! Make your eating and workouts nonnegotiable. Doesn't matter what's going on, I make sure that I'm able to get in my exercise and healthy eating. I'm not as regimented with it now, but when I first started this journey, I had a strict daily routine…

Hi Nan, congratulations on your weight loss. That's awesome. I'm down 48lbs and have 34 to go. I joined the site to monitor my eating (wasn't getting enough calories). Sorry to hear about the health troubles, but inspired that you're facing it and pushing forward. Feel free to add me. Here's to the last 30!!!

Always willing to support people trying to make the lifestyle change. Feel free to add me, and good luck with your journey!

Welcome to the group. I'm new here too, and have found nothing but support and encouragement. Do what you can with you're eating and working out given your current situation. As long as you keep moving forward. Log what you eat for sure, it really helps (even in the three days I've been on here it's made a huge…

Ya!!!

Very cool. I started Turbo Fire at the end of January with a friend, and we have three workouts left. When our schedules conflict we workout at home, so the five month program has taken us a little longer. When we're done that, we start Hip Hop Abs (I love beachbody products). I started at 252.5, and have lost 48lbs total.…

I can totally understand the wanting to be healthier and more active, we all want that. But the "wanting to be pretty"? From what I see on your avatar you're gorgeous! You have that in the bag already doll face! Remember that losing the weight isn't just about the physical, it's mental too. It's wonderful to lose the…

Don't look at it as "falling off the wagon". You stepped off to take a washroom break lol. I did it last month. Went on a sugar bender (my weakness) and now I'm back on track. And you're definitely not needy. We're all here looking for support and advice. And you have the strength, you're here now right? That counts for a…

Welcome to the community. I'm new here too. Feel free to add me and good luck with your weight loss.

Thank you for the encouragement and suggestions. I'll look into the forums for sure. Good luck to both of you on your journeys!

Gamer and a nerd. Hoping to get out to the Toronto FanExpo to meet Ron Perlman, and Karl Urban this summer. Met Micheal Shanks (SG1) in 2011. Way cool.
