I'm 47years old 5'7" 178#s. When I stick to my 1200 calories, I lose weight at a regular pace. I've lost 8#s in 3 weeks. I'm not very active--just walk a little each day.

Are you in Colorado? I'm sure there a lot of people in your area who are also displaced. I wonder if you can get out and meet someone where you are? A walking buddy? Are your kids in school?

I don't tell myself something is totally off limits--that just makes me obsess about it. If you need a piece of chocolate to boost your feelings, do it. But don't allow it to turn…

Hi Goal179, Guess what? I'm still fat too. Your story made me a little mad. I hope at least one of those girls felt a little inner shame for their behavior because I'm sure one or more of them will one day be in our position of having to struggle with being overweight and the health issues and body image that goes along…

Mamadon, You look amazing! Congrats on all the weight lost. I agree that I want to lose the weight for health reasons. Heart disease runs in my family and I want to be here for my kids and future grand kids. I'm 48 and have about 50#s to lose. I've had some issues with depression, hormone imbalance, and high stress in the…
