You are an inspiration! You're gorgeous! Well done!

Fantastic!

I just bought my Jawbone this past weekend and it's really cool, so far..........

I've been on Phentermine for almost 2 months and the side effects are getting worse, so I guess I'll stop taking it. I'm really feeling horrible today..... :-(

>>I don't know about that. I have seen very knowledgeable and wise younger individuals and some extremely foolish adults. Wisdom comes with life experience, doesn't matter the age. << I just speak for myself. You're absolutely right that there are some wise and knowledgeable young people and foolish older people. For most…

>>Please describe this mysterious "power" that comes with age. Will I finally become an x-man? << Knowledge and wisdom comes with age and many see that as "power". To be confident that you're old enough and have enough life experience to deal with difficult issues can be seen as very powerful. So many younger people are so…

"Breed stock"? WTF?

It's a compliment, according to teen boys and immature men in their 20s. To anyone else with a brain, it's sexist, IMO. Take it however you want to take it. It's just an opinion and everyone has one.

I just started taking Phentermine today and the advice in this thread will be very helpful. I am starting out at 240 and I hope to eventually get back to 150. Just to get below 200 would be fantastic for me, as I have arthritis and will need a knee replacement in the next few years. Doc won't do the surgery if you're obese…

My goals are the same! Feel free to friend me......

shy, but likes things in black and white.......:smile:

When I was 11 years old, a movie called The Legend of Boggy Creek came out. I've watched it recently and, although I laughed at some scenes, other scenes have kept their creepiness after all these years. This movie scared me so bad when I was a kid. Also, I cannot watch The Exorcist at night or if I'm by myself.

I've found it much harder to lose weight lately. I'm turning 48 this month and menopause has slowed my metabolism, but I stick with going to the gym because it makes me feel better. I concentrate now on weight lifting and the pleasure I get from getting stronger, because that's pretty easy to do. We'll both get it done…

Will your husband not go to the gym with you? If you feed him the same things you're eating, he'll start to lose a little and I'll bet his mind would change.

Great job! You look fantastic!

Austin, Texas.........

Me too! I'll send a friend request if you can reciprocate......

I'm an old punk rocker but I have hippie moments............feel free to add me.

>>Roasted chicken in a slow cooker . 1 chicken, rinsed and patted dry seasoning- use whatever you like - I usually use lemon pepper and garlic salt, and sometimes get more creative. Today I used a little pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, and paprika. season your chicken- in the cavity, and on the outside, place in the…

Count me in! I'm not particularly competitive, but I need a little awesome around..........

I think they're fine, unless they come with a fattening sauce. Most of the veggies are flash frozen, so they usually don't suffer any deterioration. I just put them in the steamer and they taste fine.

Amazing transformation! Thanks for the photos, they're very inspirational for a newbie like me. :-)

Hello, I live in the central/east Austin area. My ultimate goal is to lose 80 lbs, but I'm doing it Verrrrrrrrrryyyyyyysssslllloooowwwwwllly, so I figure I could use some inspiration. Austin is such a fitness-conscious city, it's hard to be heavy here. After I get my new knee, I want to start running again.

Hello, I'm Lisa, an atheist since age 12. I was raised a Southern Baptist and spent one year in Catholic school, so they beat any faith I ever did have right out of me. LOL I am married and live in central Texas and I am glad to meet y'all.

I'm from Texas and when I open my mouth, I might as well have a huge blinking neon TEXAS on my forehead. I think people are just trying to get to know you better. My major in college was Linguistics, so I love to hear different accents. Now that I said that, I remembered that on a business call to Michigan a few years…

Hello, I'm Lisa and I'm 48, married, no kids and I need to lose about 80 lbs. Menopause is making trying to lose weight so much fun (not). I gained almost 100 lbs in a year about 11 years ago when my mom was terminally ill, then various health problems have made it very difficult to lose any of it. I joined a great gym in…

Glad to meet you all!
