I just want to say I am not ready to confess anything yet--but all of you who have? You have my ultimate respect. I am not worthy!!

Beautiful!

I think you have to listen to your body. I think that every day is fine, as long as your body allows it and is handling it well enough, and you are taking in enough food to keep your energy levels up and not depleting your body of nutrients. I think having one or two days a week of rest is a good idea though--to give your…

I weigh once a week...at work on a manual scale. Same time, same day of the week. I have also learned not to get discouraged by the numbers. I pay more attention to how my clothes fit--or don't---than anything else.

I also have IBS--rather, IBSD. I manage mine with diet. I did an IBSD research study two years ago with medication (which really helped at the time), but once I went off the medication, it came back--though not as severe. Because I really enjoyed having a regular bowel system on the medication, I decided that I needed to…

That is easier said than done for some of us...........so maybe we all should remember everyone is different AND some people don't handle certain things well...........

Agreed. Walking is a great work out...it does many things for you. Getting in shape is just one of the benefits. **** the haters!!!

I like that you know you can do it. I know I can do it too. I have done it before...but let myself go. Damn that food be so freakin' amazing. I am trying to make better choices when it comes to food, but I know in my crazy little brain that it is movement that is necessary for me to actually make progress. Thanks for the…

Haha. Good thing you don't know me in person...I would tell you where to go with all that peppy crap! KIDDING. I know what I need to do....its just getting off my *kitten* to actually DO it.. Therein lies my entire problem. I think my brain is keeping me fat....lol. Maybe a lobotomy is in order?

Thanks! I gotta start somewhere! Appreciate the support!

Agreed! Why can't someone come up with a LEGIT medication to burn fat.....lol. Why do we have to sweat that **** out??! I find it offensive....haha!

LOL. I like that saying. If I don't move, I don't lose. And congrats on the 63 lbs lost! Great job!

Totes magotes my new friend!

Awesome!! The kicking each other in the *kitten* part, not the lazy and gaining weight part...lol. I accepted your request!

Because I am lazy. It's a simple answer. I would seriously rather sit and read or watch a tv show than get my *kitten* off the couch. I am not trying to be sarcastic here...it is the actual truth. I also realize I have created my own fat prison. When I am ready, if I am ever ready, to be completely serious about changing…
