  • I only started my journey in September, but I've lost 9 pounds in 8 weeks without exercise. I have to do it that way because exercise doesn't come naturally to me and I know I won't stick with it. So if I lose by exercise then it will come right back on when I stop exercising...and I will stop. So calories only for me! So…

  • Not everyone is observant. I know I'm not..you could make all kinds of changes to yourself and chances are I wouldn't notice. I did 'discuss' someone else's weight loss one day with another person who asked me if I knew how 'Julie' was losing weight. Julie wasn't a friend of mine but I knew of her. So I said I didn't know…

  • It sure did for me. I lost 15 pounds pretty consistently. I'm at 19 pounds now and the last 4 have just creeped off. And I'm nowhere near my goal. My diet hasn't changed - I'm very consistent with what and I eat. I just keep chugging along.

  • I don't blame him. I never post pictures of myself or family members on the internet period. Once you do - they are out there for anyone else to do what they want with. But I'm older - 49 - and realize that younger people don't care. Only you can decide what his reason is, and whether or not he's controlling. Don't let…
    in Posting Before & After Pics... Husband is NOT supportive Comment by Ilovesewing January 2012
  • I finally learned the answer to this question over the past couple of weeks. I was always thin, especially as a teenager. I'm 49 now, and have been overweight for a looooooong time. But I have two grown kids, boy 23 and girl 26, and a hubby 56. None of them are fat. Not one of them. Not even a little. So why am I fat? I…

  • I don't/can't get water in either and frankly, I dislike it so much I don't really try. The best I can do in a day is 4 cups... and that is rare. I never never drink it ice cold - gives me a stomach ache as well as bothers my teeth. I don't drink sodas, and do drink about 2-3 cups of tea per day. I work at a school where I…

  • I would love to be a buddy! I started early October and have lost 11 pounds. I also turned 49 in October. Moving slowly is an understatement! I haven't decided how much I need to lose yet...probably about 85 pounds total so another 74 pounds. At this rate I will be 69 when I reach my goal :) But I'm not on a diet this…
