Hi All, I agree with everything all of you have said:) I am 54 from Colorado and would love to connect with other women :) I've lost 8 pounds so far...a little frustrated that it's not more. But I need to get more serious. All friend requests accepted :)

Yes, I would like a few more friends, too. I'm in a 20 (really 22) and have NEVER seen 12/14. We can help each other :flowerforyou:

tortilla chips...even if I get the low-fat, baked ones, I still go out of control and eat the entire bag.

I'm so sorry you had to hear those remarks. Just remember who you lost the weight for. You are already an inspriation to me.

About two years ago the hospital where I work had an Employee Fitness program. I must state that I am a civillian working on a military base. You had to go get fitness testing at the beginning of the program. I couldn't do most of the exercises and almost passed out after doing the "steps". Then a couple of the Trainers…

I am re-joining this morning, too. I have done many other "diets", including Weight Watchers multiple times. Going to meetings and tracking points was just too much for me. An excuse, I guess. Not to mention the cost$ But, this time I NEED to do it, too. I'm at my highest weight ever. Most of my pants don't fit anymore, so…

Yum...Crockpot Chicken. This looks so good...will try it this weekend!:smile:

Congratulations! I'm a Diet Coke addict. I've tried several times to quit, but always go back to it. Funny (?!), I'm having a lot of trouble with food cravings and dropping weight. I just poured the rest of a 2-Liter bottle down the sink. May today be the first day of the rest of my life without Diet Coke. Thanks for the…

So sorry to hear this. I was laid off from a job and gained a lot of weight trying to console myself. I'm so glad you are here. You are among friends here. Hang in there. Send me a friend request if you want...

Two people I know, who are younger than me, have died in the last year. Their weight, lack of exercise, and failure to take care of themselves all contributed to their early demise. Also, it was getting harder and harder to find "nice" clothes in my size.

Thanks all for the good words. Actually I had the Wok-fired Chicken Lettuce Wraps at the Elephant Bar! 570 calories. Very light and very good! And, someone has loaded them in to myfitnesspal. Awesome.

Yes! Yes! I am loving this site, too. This has more features than another site I was paying to use. I'm findig I'm much more mindful of what I am putting in my mouth.

Yes, I am reading it, too...for the second time. Very good book!

You look wonderful. I have about 70+ to lose and need someone to inspire me. You just did :) Congratulations on all your hard work!!!!!

Add me as a friend and WE CAN DO THIS! I am 54 and still working. No diabetes yet...but there's lots of it in my family. I just started last week. Welcome! Charlene

I'm brand new to this site...just learned of it yesterday! So happy to be here.:heart:
