Detroit....lived in SoCal for a few years and stayed in Queens NY for a minute but Detroit is HOME and I always come home!

This is a cool post for us tall gals! I am 6' 1" and I really need to post some before and after pics soon. Any tall ladies that want to have a tall pal just hit me up!!!

I use sugarfree cough drops....keeps me from mindlessly eating...no chance you want to eat with those in your mouth!

Keep up the good work....this was a great post! You should be proud!!!

Tell your hubby to hide it....and only allow yourself to weigh in on set weigh in days! No shame in asking for help! Otherwise I fear you are setting yourself up for failure....discouragement...and self loathing. None of which are going to help you on your healthy journey!!! Ask the man that loves you to help you....tell…

AWESOME....your hard work is paying off. You keep it up! You got this!!!

After reading your post I thought of a few things I would like to say.... Fisrt: Please don't compare your journey to someone elses.....we are so complex and different from one another....what works for me just might not work for you and visa versa! Focus on YOU...your worth it! ;-) Secondly: Am I the only one thinking…

I too love me some veggies... ;-) My favorites are coming into season here soon. In the summer months I love to simply cut up summer squash(yellow and zuchinni) and steam them and munch away. Another summer fav is to cut up onion,tomato,avacado and add cilantro and lime juice and you have a wonderful little salad! Also…

I too have an almost 12 year old son...he is adhd...he too is very thin. Not so thin that the docs worry. I try to feed him whenever he is hungry...the meds take the hunger away. I have pushed some fatty foods but more good fats like nuts...peanut butter...he even likes to snack on slim jims. Bars are another way to get…

I have always used Leslie Sansones walk away the pounds.....it is low impact and I lost just over 80 pounds with her years ago after my first two children were born....I had asthma trouble and my knees were so bad with all the weight on in the begining. I am using them again and still love them! Good luck!!!

Too much protien can be harmful....builds up toxins...but without seeing what and how much your eating it is hard to say. I try to keep a healthy balance....life is a balancing act isn't it...giggle

WOW! You are amazing! You keep it up girly you are almost there!!!! Cheers to good health!!!!~

AWESOME!! Can't imagine the change you will see in another 100 days!!!!! WOW! Keep up the good/hard work!!!

Almost daily in the summer....due to my garden and the farmers markets. I too will munch on alot of different raw veggies...so salad without the lettuce. Veggies of anykind are a great snack. I love salads....I battle myself at times with wanting my old dressing choices. But over all I am a huge salad eater.

I want to thank you again for being an encouragement to me!

I agree.....walk....don't skip. Unless the pain is too bad for even walking.....then maybe you do need to rest! Hang in there!!!

I could not have said it better myself! I feel the same way and did the same thing when I decided to get healthy this year. And I too am doing it the old fashioned way...Calories in calories out! I even do all my working out at home...why pay a gym membership?! I too have lost weight quicker than most of my friends and…

Lime juice and calantro...yummy

I like making my own dressings. Summer fav is lime juice and calantro. And you can make dressings with no where near the calories in store bought stuff. However, when you have to or just desire your other dressings I would definately use the dressing on the side dip your fork in the dressing way...you get the flavor you…

I love sprouts!!! On sandwhiches and salads!!!! Love having different things to add to salads!

This site is awesome and just what you need!!! If your looking for accountability partners in crime then add me....happy to have more friends to support and be supported by!!!

Put a lose rubber band around your wrist and snap it every time you catch yourself biting....I also chewed on a straw for awhile until I quit...but it is so worth it...you don't look like an idiot with your hand in your mouth and your nails will look amazing in no time...don't do fake nails I beg of you....they injure your…

Preach is sista!!! I am 6' 1" and I here all the stupid comments too....I love to shock my close friends with my top weight...and as there jaw just hangs open I say well I know I was nearly 300 pounds but I am so tall.....easier to say now that I am under 250!! Hang in there tall friend...we will be holy hotness when we…

for this and many other reasons I decided we really should just kill the television!!!! Now that I am not watching I can get a 2nd workout in too!!! With all that nourishment and better mental health you remember that there is so much more to life than the stupid box!!! Good for you! Cheers!~

I couldn't agree more!!! I just joined yesterday and I am in love with this site!!! We so got this!

Rolling rock makes a light...and yes all the sweet stuff is a killer!

all great suggestions...you can also burn calories with really focused good posture and centered (tightened)core muscles. Standing instead of sitting when you can. Every little bit counts...

Hi...I too am looking for people to share this health and fitness journey with! I don't call it a diet...I have simple changed my choices and the amount of food I eat. It really is simple for me...if I just do what I know what works for me. Whole foods...lower amount of said food and MOVE THIS BODY!!!....However, as simple…

I agree

I am annoyed that every accountability partner or person I have met in other support forums this year just gave up...quit trying already....why is it so hard for humans to stay motivated!!!!! I need to find people who can keep up the fight with me!!!!
