Hi, Feel free to add me as I am being very accountable... I am very serious about losing the weight. my mindset is in the right place. and I am working to have it stay that way.

Ladies, I know what you mean.. I am 57 years old and have finally gotten serious about losing weight. I say this because my employer is looking at me as a health risk...And has demanded I get a physical with their doctors. I do my job very well, but as you get older and make more many employers will try to cull you from…

Angel food cake with strawberries and low cal cool whip. Frozen banana drizzled with warmed chocolate or small amount of peanut butter

Flavored yogurt with fresh fruit and 1 oz granola

Cucumber vodka with either lemon or plain seltzer with fresh cucumber garnish. One 1/2 shot vodka to two parts seltzer refreshing summery

Rice Crackers with Roasted Red Peppar Hummas on top. Yum.

Luna High Protein Nutrition Bar, I keep them in my car and eat it when I'm going to work. It's a nice ritual. Then at work on my first break, I do 2 Hard Boiled eggs. Both of these things give me loads of protein.

WOW. FANTASTIC. My starting weight is not that far from yours...374. It will be interesting to see where I am next year. But your Accomplishment leaves me stunned. Good Work, I hope you realize what a winner you are. Take Care, JoAnna:flowerforyou:

I've gotten serious too. Just sick of not having energy and having too many different sizes of clothing in my closet. Add me if you would like. How is your husband doing?:flowerforyou:

I had one of the original Fitbit Pedometers. well, it finally quit. I loved it because it counted stairs. Don't know if the fitbit wristband does this. bit the revised fitbit one does. So I have it on order.

Hi, I started May 25th and I have just been tracking. I am doing about 1200 calories a day. So, I have been losing weight. I'm now at about the 6 week point and I have had enough success so that I feel like slowly getting into exercise. I'm starting with just working in my garden and now I have order a fitbit and I'm going…

Good For you Welcome back. I know it took me a couple of tries to really come back and get serious. Now I'm really logging in and working the program. Add me if you'd like. and Happy 4th. JoAnna

Wow, Congratulations you and your pictures are so inspiring. My starting weight is not far from your starting weight. I started at 376.4 and like you I didn't really realize how big I was till I had my crazy next door neighbors take my front, side and back pictures. I must say through all the weight loss and even before.…

I say. Don't agonize over how long it is going to take to lose the weight. Think only of getting through the day. and then wake up and think about that day. If you should "slip" up. Pick your program up right at the very next meal. Do not under any circumstances throw in the towel. Oh, and work some exercise in each day.…

Wow, Just read your powerfully post. You rock. Have a splendid 4th.. JoAnna

Take a couple of pictures of yourself. Front/side/Back. Use these pictures not to judge yourself badly. But to motivate yourself to change your shape. ( if that is what you truly want) Don't get down on yourself if you aren't working out hard each and every day. But, do something. You can start small. Climb a couple of…

Sometimes I have a piece of Fruit. Or, Greek Yogurt. sometimes Greek Yogurt with multi-grain Cheerios. ( they have 100%) iron in them So they are great for you. Or Baby Carrots and Celery stalks. Hope this helps. JoAnna

You Look Fantastic... Bravo and Congratulations on reaching your milestone. JoAnna. PS. Have a great 4th. :happy:

Wow, Great Job. Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment. JoAnna

You Look Fantastic. Your face just Glows. Congratulations on this great accomplishment. JoAnna

You look fantastic... Great Job. Are you going to reward yourself with something tangible other than the race? I am personally going to gift myself a trip to Hawaii when I hit goal. Congratulations, JoAnna

Interesting Observations. You know I heard that David Letterman does that. He eats one meal a day. after he tapes his show. He's been doing this for years. seems to work well for him.

Every Monday Morning works for me.

Well, I go for quantity generally, but the quantity is all veggies, like stir fries with carrots, celery, mushrooms, peppers, onion, and maybe a small amount of cooked Shrimp and Egg Whites. This ends up being very high volume, but not high in calories. But there are times when I want a fresh bagel from Brueggers 310…

Wow What a great story.. and an even better happy ending. Thanks for the posting and the encouragement. JoAnna
