that is INCREDIBLE. good job! nice to see all those smiley faces. congratulations :)

welcome aboard :) this is only my first day but i feel a difference already in terms of motivation. tomorrow i will start using all the tools here and resume my workout routine. add me if you want to, ladies:)

sorry, i don't know...but it looks like you already got a lot of good answers anyway. all i know is, if i avoid bread, cereal and pasta and snack on carrots, celery (with a little peanut butter) and fruit, and substitute honey and agave nectar in my tea instead of refined sugar, i start losing weight.

thanks very much Rose. i appreciate your advice. now that i have this network of people here, it will be easier to resist temptation.

key word: together. we got your back! good luck :)

good job! 15 pounds is a lot! i know what you mean though...when i lose 15 pounds i think hmm, it doesn't really show, then i fall off the wagon and realize it did, in fact, show, because the outfits i can now fit into before the loss are super-tight. or my face looks puffier. for short people like me (5' 2"), every pound…

What she said :) I need to be on here every day because it keeps my mind focused on weight loss and healthy living, so add me if you want. Cheers!

I don't. Well, I have now...to get started..and from now on, it will be once a week.

I don't care about age/sex/how often they are online/diaries/weight/, etc. I just gravitate towards people who support and encourage weight loss (in the message boards) because that is my source of inspiration. This is all new to me, and I am already feeling positive and I see light at the end of my own tunnel reading…

Hello and welcome! :)

OMGSH....you look amazing! Wow...you worked really hard and it shows. Three months from now? I want to be down two sizes...I think that equates to 20 pounds, if I'm not mistaken. A year from now? I'd like to look back at my former self and say hey girl, you did it. With a little help from my friends :)

Hi. I'm new, so I can't really offer sage advice. But I can offer my support. In the few hours I have been here, I have already received very encouraging emails and comments from people. Believe me, that goes a long way towards putting your feet on a healthy path. My mind is focused on one thing, just for today, and that…

Wow, awesome!!!

Thanks very much.

Good advice. Thanks!

Thanks you guys. I just want to say that, yes, no one holds a gun to my head and forces me to eat what they eat, but, like any addiction or negative behavior, you can't go it alone...that is why sites like this exist. It's a lot easier to lose weight when you have a clean pantry, empty of all fattening foods...the simple…

WOW, awesome! You look amazing. I know you must have worked really hard to get there. Bravo!

Well, that is exactly why I'm here. Not only do I get NO support whatsoever from my husband, he makes every attempt to sabotage me. I need help. I went to a meeting, I won't say what weight-loss company it was, but the women there were already pals and very clique-ish, so that won't work for me. My husband loves to eat and…
