That's the scarest smiley face I've ever seen. YIKES !!!

Isn't that funny how it puts things in perspective. Yesterday I spent the day with my 12 month old grandson... he weighs 20 pounds. While carrying him around I thought.... hmmmmm I used to walk around with 40 extra pounds--- enough weight to be the same as carrying TWO him. No wonder I had no energy!!!!!

Welcome... this site will definitely help you with your goals. Everyone is soooo supportive and there are lots of good receipes for low cal delicious food. My son is in the Navy also. He is a MA. It has been a very good experience for him. He is more disciplined than ever before and mature beyond his years. Welcome and…

That is wonderful... down from 4 pils to 1/2. Just think of the $'s you are saving on prescriptions!!! You should be REALLY proud of yourself for what you have accomplished:drinker: Congratulations of your journey to being healthy!!!!:flowerforyou:

Welcome to the most wonderful club in the world... the GRANDparent club. Congratulations... hope you get to make all the trips to see the new baby!!!!

I do believe chicken salad gets better overnight!! Tomorrow it will be soooo much better than it is tonight. (Chicken salad is one of my favorites.... willpower....willpower...willpower :wink:

WOO HOOO Good for you!!!! Congratulations on meeting one of your goals. Keep it going and you will meet your final goal. I know you must have felt like giving up... but didn't. It all pays off with one look at that scale. So happy for you.

I would have to say all of the above also. I think it all works hand in hand.... although I do admit to falling off the wagon occasionally. But sticking with it instead of giving up after a bad day helps. I do allow myself one meal a week that I eat whatever I want (usually Mexican food) :love: I think you have to do what…

I love to see progression pictures. You look wonderful!!! And YES YES YES I can see the difference. Don't be thinking that no one can it... Good job!!!

Wow you look great. Even when heavy you are a pretty girl... you look so much healthier now and there seems to be alot of sparkle in your eyes that didn't show in your "before" pictures. You have done a tremendous job!!!! You are proof it can be done if determined!!!! PS - Your son is so cute!!!!!

I like those - especially the "To change one's life". Great Thanks

That is WONDERFUL!!! Congratulations on your stick-to-it ness.

I LOVE it!!!! Great cut. It definitely flatters you !!!

I FINALLY came out of the 160's. For weeks have been begging the scales to say less than 160. :grumble: Today it made me happy and read 159.0 :happy: Maybe only a fluke and will go back up tomorrow--- but today I am happy!!!!

As I snack, I like celery stuffed with Light Laughing Cow Cheese - only 35 calories per wedge. I like the Swiss and Herb and Garlic ones YUMMM

Congratulations and welcome to the grandma club!! I have one grandson that is 14 months old. He is such a joy. He is the main reason I have decided to get healthy and fit. Want to be able to keep up with him and be around to see him grow!!! Enjoy!!!

Welcome to the site Laura. You are doing great so far!!! With all the support you find here, you will reach your goal. This is a great place to be.

WOW- great weight loss. And thanks for your dedication to keep everyone safe. I have so much respect for what police officers do and what they have to put up with from the public when their main goal is the safety of others.

YEA!!!!!!!!!!! :happy: That scale was probably afraid not to move!!! Could you come threaten mine? :grumble:

This weekend I will be keeping my 1 year old grandson so my daughter and her husband can go out of town and celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary. I am so looking forward to spending 3 days with him. On another positive side, I am looking foward to the extra activity I will get chasing him!!! (Wonder how you log in…

I've only been on here a short while. I am 56 and the same height as you, started at 197 and want to be at 140. So far I've lost 36 lbs. I cannot afford a gym either. I started walking 2 miles. I now do the Leslie Sansone walking exercise video and it keeps me moving and I am stil losing. Not as fast as at first, but at a…

Hope she realizes how amazing you are too!!!!! :flowerforyou: So happy for you :smile:

Have a great time. I got back about 2 weeks ago from the Riveria Mayan in Mexico. Stayed at a resort and had all the food and drink anyone could ask for. Was also very active walking swimming etc. Thought that I would gain bunches, but ended up only gaining 1.5 lbs. Guess it was due to being active instead of sitting at my…

What do you do when you blew all your calories on lunch and breakfast. Went to lunch with friends at work and ate more than I had planned - therefore I don't have any calories left for dinner :frown: Do most just not eat at dinner if they used all their calories for the day? Thanks

Congratulations!!!! What an accomplishment!!! I bet you feel great :drinker:

Happy anniversary!!!:drinker: I'm pretty new here and have seen, and been the receipant, of your advice. I, as well as others, have benefited from your posts. Glad you are here and keep posting!!!

1/4 of the way. That is GREAT!!!! I think once you get started, eating healthy becomes a habit instead of a chore. Keep up the good work:bigsmile:

Being able to put on size smaller clothes makes ya feel better than seeing the scales go down!!! Way to go:flowerforyou:

Congratulations. Those plateaus stink :noway:

WOW Congratulations... maybe going from weight watchers to a different type of eating was the difference. I think when you "shake up" your system with something new it starts to rev up again!! Good job!!! A pound a week is great!!!
