Welcome!! I've got 70+ to lose...i sent you a friend request!! Good luck and hopefully we can motivate each other!!

Hey girl!! I am restarting here too... *sending friend request* We can do this!!

thanks for all the encouragement and welcomes...I needed to hear it!! Hi Alexis!! *waves* & *giggles* I love meeting other people with our name!! Thanks Lynda...I am friending you now...I hate the word obese too!! it's a motivator for me. I want the same thing you do...to finally be in the normal range!!

good luck to you too!! we can do this!!

YES!! WE DO!!! I started over fresh today and I am determined to work on ME this time.... NO EXCUSES, JUST RESULTS!! We can do this girl!! I wish we lived closer so we could be better motivation to each other... :(

i take it a step further from craving and i OBSESS over food. i rationalize in my head and go back and forth over whether i should have it or not, where i should go to get it, etc...it's really hard to overcome. thanks for posting because it's nice to know i am not alone... :)

i use a smaller plate sometimes...it helps because the smaller portion fills it up making you think you are eating more food!! *trickery*

i am a HUGE fan of on-the-stove popcorn...i never eat microwave anymore!! i do the same thing but with canola oil and sometimes i sprinkle romano cheese on it while its a little hot...so yummy!! my friends and i call it "loose corn"!! lol...

I have back issues as well... I had back surgery in 2006 for a herniated L5S1 and currently have a herniated L4... my core is not strong AT ALL!! I have neglected to be consistant with my back exercises (core) so I have no one to blame but myself. However, the one thing that doesn't bother my back is walking. I have a…

My goal is to not binge today... i haven't been so good about that the past few days and i know the scale is going to show it come monday.

I would like to join in too!! I am going to do a 2 mile walk tonight.... My weigh ins are on Monday mornings... 246.5 today.

I am joining the challenge!! Will post my scores later on tonight!! What a great idea and fun way to burn some major calories!! I use my HRM and am surprised at how many calories I can burn in a short amount of time. and that time flies by when you are dancing!!

yummy!! thanks for sharing!!

I am like you...don't feel that I will ever be able to shout "I AM DEBT FREE"...but I am currently taking a Financial Peace University course and so far I love it...I am on Baby Step 1 and will probably be for some time. I am a single mom, so my income has to cover everything and I usually am stretching things from…

~~I am committing myself to saying a rosary everyday to draw closer to God and strengthen my faith. (hoping to turn this into an everyday thing, not just for lent) ~~I am committing myself to exercising at least 5 times a week...which is a change for me. (hoping to turn this into an everyday thing too) ~~I am giving up…

I weigh in on Monday for that same reason...I tend to be slack over the weekend (used to be!) knowing that i have to step on the scale Monday morning helps keep me accountable and i can pump up the exercise over the weekend too...
