  • You all are wonderful! This is so much better that WW! I can't tell you what you support means to me! I've lost 7 pounds since starting on July 9th. Is this really going to work? Am I really doing it? I'm so excited!
  • You're inspiring. You look lovely. Keep up the good work!
  • I can't see the picture, so if you are referring to loose skin, you can dry brush your skin to help stimulate it. If you are young this will help a lot. I learned about dry brushing from Teresa Tapp. She has an exercise method and program that helps with the skin. She also recommends taking spirulina too. I dry brush…
  • BostonLulu I completely understand where you are coming from. You could have just written my story. I'm 54 and have been dieting for 42 years now. I decided that what I need it a new relationship to food. I didn't want to think about that because food has been my friend/enemy for all these years, but I have finally reached…
  • Wow! I'm overwhelmed already with this wonderful support! I am taking in all of your suggestions - I'm actually jotting them down in my Excel Journal. I thank you all so much!
  • Ok, thank you, Madd... I appreciate the feed back. I used to be 5'6"!! I can't tell you how upsetting it was to lose that inch!

  • Thank you Care.. I agree with you. I'm going to try and change my relationship with food. I'm a sugar and junk food junky. Through my diet ears I have come to like some healthy foods, so I am optimistic. I need to lose at least 100 pounds. I don't know what weight would be best for me. I've never lost more than 40 pounds…
  • Thank you Everyone! Very kind of you! What does it mean to "add as a friend" or for support?
  • Hello from Cumming! This is my first day so, I won't be ready for a hike any time soon, but I wanted to say hi and connect. Maybe I could join you in the near future. Especially when it gets cooler.
  • Really? Do you mean with exercise I could eat more and lose more? At my age I would be happy with 2 pounds. I'm so diet weary. I just don't know where to turn or what to do anymore. Thanks for your reply!
