No doubt you can do it.... just stay here and everyone will help....this will be the best journey of your life...

also wondering what happened to Shorerider... I enjoyed her posts... haven't seen her in a while.

Great post!!!! That is truly what it is all about.... to be healthy!!!

WOW!!!! That is wonderful.....looked at your pics and the transformation is incredible!!! You look wonderful and I bet you feel 100% better. What an inspiration you are. Congratulations.... you're determined and will see your goal... here's to you:flowerforyou:

I agree with the eggs.... I use the eggbeaters and turkey bacon.... keeps me full till lunch (7:00 till 12:00) Also Fiber One cereal.... I think it explodes in your stomach.... I eat a half a cup of the cereal... a couple of teaspoons of blueberries, 1/2 cup of milk in the cereal.... and I feel full till lunch....if I get…

Thanks you guys.... guess I know what I need to do.... like everyone here... but just need to hear it and know that someone cares to turn it around..... remarkly I haven't gained any pounds,... but can tell the difference in the toning of my body from not exercising...... and that is what concerns me. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR…

I started in April and have lost about 54 pounds..... with diet and exercise... serious about it... because the Dr. scared me.....I have lost more than he requested in the 6 months.. sooooo I indulged Thanksgiving through Christmas.... just am having a hard time getting back to the exercise program I had before.... my…

Geeezzzz... I feel like such a slacker... only burned 300 calories on my workout.... GOOD JOB!!!

I have the same problem.... if I gain a pound or two, you can bet it will be in the belly region.... I've asked and asked about how to get rid of it... the answer cardio.... constantly... takes a long time since it goes from the inside out. Don't give up... it is possible... just takes time.

Good for you!!!!!! ENlJOY!!! Obviously he enjoyed too.... or wouldn't have asked you to see him again. HE is the lucky one!!!

WOW - that is scary to think that a burger could have THAT many calories..... you want fries with that?

I was 56 when the Dr. told me that I needed to lose weight and exercise 5 days a week. He recommended the "sugar buster" or South Beach Diet. Did the South Beach because it made sense to me. (Lots of lean meats and veggies!!) I used the Leslie Sansone walk videos or walked around the neighborhood when weather would permit.…

I think it is the combination that you eat.... when you eat right, your body rewards you. I found when I eat healthy, I don't get as hungry when I eat junk.... I think your body knows that it has what it needs for fuel and stays satisfied longer...... I lost most of weight on the South Beach Diet and that is what that diet…

That is a giant step.... Congratulations... you will find that making these choices will add up to weight loss and you will feel better and lose the pounds slowly, which is the healthist way. Keep it up... you have made it through your first day and made a choice that will make a difference! YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I check my digital periodically with a 10 lb weight... If you don't have that... take a 5 or 10 lb bag of sugar or flour and check it. If you use the same one over and over it will show the weight loss... even it it is not your correct weight - or check it against your Dr's scale and set it.

Sounds great... gonna try it. Quick and easy too!! Thanks!!!!!!

Hey good for you and the 4 lbs... 4 lbs is 4 lbs less than you weighed!!!!!:flowerforyou: I can't always get outside to walk, work 10 hr days and it's dark when I leave and dark when I get home. Started using the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVD's. They are great and very convenient. I have 4 different ones and mix them up.…

Step-Mom.... is one of those and that movie brings me to tears!!! My step-children are now in their 40"s and I am divorced from their father and still keep in touch with them and their kids.... they are one of my blessings in my life... this too is a movie that will hit your heartstrings!!!!!!!

Oh Steel Magnolias.... good grief.... change the channel... how much can a person handle in one evening.... if you can't say something nice ... sit next to me.... so MANY great lines in that movie, plus emotions on the rampage.... my FAVORITE movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh... Ghost.... wish I could cry as pretty as Demi....

He is a lucky guy.... don't think of it as trying to impress him... he will be trying to impress you. The qualities that you have to get you to this point in your life (losing the weight and gaining a healthy lifestyle) are to be commended. Relax, enjoy..... and let us know if he is someone that can measure up to you.

Not me.... I would NEVER eat Doritos while I am reading and posting on this site..... I usually come on here AFTER I've done that because guilt overcomes me. Fall off today... get back on tomorrow....

First day terrible... second day will be better. Stay with it.

I have a scale and I weigh everyday.... I know that sometimes that's not a good thing... but it helps to keep me focused. It keeps me from cheating too much because I don't want to see it go up. I plan, when I reach my goal, to lose a few pounds under that goal and weigh everyday to see be sure that the weight does not…

Don't beat yourself up.... I think there are MANY here who have fallen off the wagon with the holidays and everyone being busier this time of year. Myself included. If you want to change your habits and have come back to do that, then you are NOT a failure. Just had a set back. From this day forward..... Best of luck in…

Thanks for the post. Again ... this reinforces the fact that weight loss takes a change of habits... you can take the pills... but you still have to change your habits and your lifestyle. There is no quick fix!! Everyone needs to be careful that their weight loss is healthy... that is the key and that is the hardest to…

I don't know which is the right way... but I turn mine off after I finish exercising (do leave it on for the minute or so that I stretch after... but I figure after the workout everything else is counted as everyday activity. PLUS would rather go lower in calorie burn so I don't think I have a bunch of exercise calories…

I think everyone has this problem with the ones that are overweight and don't want to correct the problem. I have friends that are overweight and I love them dearly.... but they do hurt your feelings when they say things like... I made this but I'm sure you won't try it because you want to be skinny or you're not fun…

I gotta go get those.... love hot dogs!!!!!

My grandson who is 18 months old, asked for a kiss before I left him today... be still my heart.... I'm in love with a man who is two feet tall!!!!
