  • Welcome! This is a wonderful site with lots of positive support & helpful advice. After yo-yo'ing since I was about 14 years old I am just now finally feeling like this is possible for me to make these changes for good & never turn back! Sent you a friend request! Best wishes on this journey! :smile:

  • Thank you SO much for sharing these pics! It took a lot of guts for you to post them here! You look absolutely AMAZING & are such an inspiration to us all who are struggling at the beginning of our journey. Just recently I finally feel like I am "getting it" and can do this for myself & for my family. :bigsmile: Thanks…
    in EEK - 142 lbs down! I can't believe I'm showing anyone these Comment by KTalada May 2011
  • Same here as mocha76--limiting my fruit to one serving per day. I've also noticed that a lot of the fat free yogurts with fruit in them seem to have a very high sugar content. So maybe there is a correlation there too? My mother-in-law is diabetic & even the sugar in fruit affects your blood sugar, so the body must not…

  • I'd like to try eating more "whole" foods & less processed junk foods--even the sugar free variety. I'm going to be switching antidepressants to one that should make my weight loss a little bit easier, so we'll see...Hope to lose 8-10 pounds in May. No more Splenda in my diet (doctor agreed can cause more sugar cravings!)…
    in Happy May everyone, what are your goals for this month? Comment by KTalada May 2011
  • No worries! I ate chocoalte cake at a buffet a few days ago too.:embarassed: Those moments of weakness are normal & they're gonna happen from time to time. Just move on & do your best. What else can we do? I'm a major chocoholic & have been having so much trouble with cravings--no sugar added fudge pops or sugar free…

  • I just recently took my very first Zumba class & it was so fun! I laughed at my uncoordinated self a lot, but sure worked up a sweat! It was fun & time sure flew by. I've been looking for a Zumba DVD to do at home with no luck so far. If you like to dance & move around, you will love Zumba. It certainly adds some variety…
    in Zumba? Comment by KTalada April 2011
  • I absolutely LOVE that DVD!:heart: I paid $15.00 for the kit with the bands at WalMart & it is well worth every cent! Leslie adds some new moves on & the short bursts followed y the strength training really get you sweating! She's one of my faves, although her constant chatter sometimes annoys me. LOL! Since I've beeen…

  • Thanks all! Didn't even realize that I could change my settings to track even more. Changed to track sugar too & BINGO! The "all natural" granola I'm eating is high in sugar & I didn't even realize it! :noway: Also Lactaid skim milk is pretty high in sugar content I guess because they add lactase enzyme which is used to…

  • I just joined last week & have the same short-term goal to lose 20 pounds by my birthday in mid-August. My long-term goal is to lose a total of 90 pounds & keep it off for good! I too have yo-yo'ed back and forth over the past 10+ years, but recently losing my full-time job has given me the extra time to devote totally to…
