Bump...I'm at work, but want to see more of this when I get home this evening.

Haha. I will be 50 in August and I don't feel it at all. My daughter says I am getting old...she is always kidding me about it though. I do realize my age does prevent me from doing certain things such as cartwheels, but I still think I could do them. It also prevents me from wearing certain clothing. I just think 50 is…

Wonderful job. Very inspiring! Thanks!

Now THAT's funny!! LOL :laugh:

Summerville, SC...although I was mostly raised in Newport, RI

OK...this is a silly one but true. Chipmunks---Had a Bad Day.

I'm taking Chantix and it is a miracle drug! I have quit and started several times and it is very hard to quit while trying to lose weight. I have noticed that the more active I am, the less I want to smoke. I just feel so much better when I'm not smoking and I can actually go hiking and be active without running out of…

49, 5'2" 230. Goal wt is 119, but would be happy with 130-140.

Welcome! Wishing you the best of luck on your healthier journey.:wink:

I will be 50 in August! Welcome!

Wow! One of my biggest is people who don't clean the machines when they are done. Our gym has bottles of disinfectant spray and rags. So when you move your sweaty behind off a machine and leave it dripping with your gross stuff you can walk over and pick up the bottle, spray a little and wipe it clean! I clean the machines…

Hello and welcome! I sent you a friend request. I have had really good luck with this site and most of the people here are awesome! Best of luck to you!

Welcome and good luck!

I know the feeling. The first time I worked out I was sore for days. It got better with everyday so just keep at it.

Wow! Your story sounds so familiar! It also sounds very hopeful! I have struggled with my weight all my life as well. Currently, my partner is going through some very deep depression and is gaining weight. She is feeling worthless, hopeless, etc. I continue my weight lose journey and figure she will join me when she feels…

Wonderful story!!! Congrats! You should be very proud of yourself!

I needs sweets too. I try to stick with the Skinny Cow, Weight Watchers, etc. But sometimes I just NEED a full fat, all the way, hot fudge sundae!

I have never "beat" my food demons, just learned to control them. I don't "diet", ever! I eat what I want, when I want. I just make sure I do some kind of exercise everyday, and log everything! If I want that cake, I can have it but it will cost me on my diary. I will have to add those calories that I consumed and probably…

Welcome! I never really kept track of what I was eating either, so I was kind of shocked when I saw just how much I was eating...YIKES! I still pretty much eat what I want but in moderation. I know now that if I want that ice cream, I will have to add it to my diary and do some extra exercise to off-set the additional…

Welcome! Hope you the people on this site very supportive. I have had really good luck with it. Good luck on your journey!

Welcome. I think this site is great. Very supportive group of friends here. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

I understand the feeling. Sending a friend request so can help each other. I have only been here about 3 months. My weight loss is going slow, but I only wanted to lose about 1 lb a weeks anyway. That is supposed to be better for you and a better chance of keeping it off. Hang in there!

Welcome! You have come to the right place. I have been here about 3 months now and I love it. Everyone is very supporting and motivational. Congratulations on your decision to make a change!

Welcome and good luck! This is a great site for support and motivation. Lots of fun and great friends.

Welcome and good luck with your journey. I know how it is being a single parent of teenagers. Been there and one still lives at home.
