You're on! It might take me all day, but I'm in!

Well darn! If the guys aren't here to pick up chicks, I should be at Curves! Everyone that I've met here has been extremely supportive-male,female and the occasional troll (few and far between). It only takes a day or so to figure out who they are. Lots of weight loss here, sound advice and support. I'm sure you'll find…

Wow! I am totally inspired. You have shown me that it can be done. And you look fabulous!

Oh no! that one stays! We took a vote. It's for ... er.. INSPIRATION, yes! That's the ticket!

I'm in! where do I get my ticker?

I dont' think I have abs anymore. I can't find them anywhere. BUT once I do find them, I'm in. I am looking at a Pilates DVD for inspiration. Why is that they all start off bone thin? Where's Richard Simmons when you need him?

You have a strength and determination that I can only hope to achieve! I debated for a week whether or not to post a pic of me IN CLOTHES because I am so embarrassed about the way I look now. It took god only knows how long before I actually let hubby take a picture of me. I admire you so much for showing YOU to the world,…

I'm with you on this one! My thought was FINALLY a topic I can relate to!!

Who has Netflix? I was filling my queqe the other day and noticed that there are a ton of exercise programs. Anyone interested in picking a couple and going at it with me?

I didn't even think of wall pushups! Are there other things you do?

Fitness Friday: Yes I have been doing more this week than I have done in years. Having lived a really sedentary lifestyle for the past few decades (minus ocassionally chasing children or grandchildren ), anything beyond rushing to the bathroom would really be considered movement for me. BUT instead of just doing that I:…

I can't say what I would tell you to say to your dad, but it wouldn't be nice. But I'm a little older so I understand your restraint. When I was younger, I could never get any positive feedback from my folks. I swear if I turned water into wine they'd say I was an alcoholic. In time, you will learn not to let it affect you…

I can literally drink a gallon of Lipton diet green tea a day. I didn't care if it helped with anything. I just liked the taste. Now I don't know if it can count it as water since it's 0 calories. I've heard both ways. I'm too new here to notice if it helped my metabolism. I'll be seriously watching this thread for some…

I haven't been a 2 -6 in a looooooooooooooooong time. But I do remember those days! You can get back there. Eat least; move more. And drink water!!

Hi Brenda, When I was your age, I wore a size 4. I know what you're going through. Feel free to add me. And welcome!

That's what I was thinking. I also was told that my bones were heavier because I'm "large boned". I tell you, the things people say!

I'm glad you decided to come out of hiding! I've been here a couple of weeks and so far the only thing that's really keeping me motivated is the support of the people around me. You'll enjoy yourself more now that you're out and about. Add me! It's wonderful to meet you. C

Does it have to be non-carbonated? Wal-Mart makes a Clear American flavored water that is 0 everything but has carbonation. They call it "naturally flavored sparkling water beverage with other natural flavors".. . Could you check with your nutritionist (since I don't have one here ) Thanks!

I'm 4'11" and this food diary thingy has me eating 1630 calories a day. That's for a pound a week weight loss. There are days when I can meet that goal and days when it's just the most difficult thing in the world to do. Today is a bad day. I'm trying hard not to go over.

I'm getting confused. Do we post here or in the other one?

1. I'm too old. 2. I'm too sick 3. I have to take meds that make me gain, so what's the point? 4. Nobody wants to look at me anyway. 5. I LOVE chocolate. 6. A Very Personal one, that has it's roots in psychology BUT my motto is Don't Invent Excuses Today! So I've been slowly taking them and putting them under my foot and…

Welcome! I've been here for two weeks and it's been wonderful! Feel free to add me as a friend and I'll do what I can to support you...

I'm here! Feel free to add me. I'm in the 100 pound club too....

I am a bonafide chocoholic and I have all the SlimFast Chocolate EVERYTHING- snacks, meal bars, shakes. I haven't figured out how to add real sugar to my meals (I will totally go overboard) so right now I'm craving coffee like you wouldn't believe. I might have to try that dipping with like pudding or something. Thanks for…

I'm here. Feel free to add me.

Welcome Erin! I have considerably more than 15 pounds to lose, but I'm here. I totally understand about losing motivation. The people here are wonderful. Jump in with both feet and just do it. Feel free to add me as a friend. I'll do what I can to keep you motivated! Cherrie

Here's my Tuesday Bluesday- I am grateful to have a hubby that is going through this process with me, but he is overly supportive. It bothers me that he won't let me do my own thing, learn this my way without constant input. I'm not saying that he can't be right, I'm saying that I DON"T CARE if he's right or not. I tried…

I was looking for a way to determine how many calories are burned during a typical exercise session since many aren't listed in the database. I ran across this one and it doesn't make sense to me. (Either that or I'm just really tired of trying to do math). So I'll ask again. How does one determine the number of calories…

I'm sort of new (10 days) but feel free to add me as a friend. I'll do what I can!!
