I really appreciate all of you who took the time to reply & share your stories & suggestions. I find them all helpful & very encouraging. Atleast I don't feel alone because I really did for awhile. I'm grateful for this program & caring folks like you all. Thanks for your care & support! I needed it more than you know.

Thanks, I have been taking pics along the way. I haven't noticed much of a change, but I didn't put them side by side either. I will though, i think that will help.

That's great advice. I've been thinking of doing something along that line. I need to start asap.

That's true. Thanks. Maybe if I stayed a certain size for a little while it might not be so difficult. But it seems fast. Believe me, this is not a complaint. lol Just trying to cope. :-)

I bought 2 pair of jeans a month ago. One that fit & one size smaller. I put them on last week and felt like a clown! I went to the store today & this awesome lady helped me figure out what size I actually was. I haven't worn that size since 7th grade. I bought a pair that fit now & a size lower. See, I wear scrubs to work…

I think I need an intervention! To get rid of all my clothing. I have too many reminders. lol Thanks I really do need to just pack them all & give them away. I think I'm too slow in doing it.

Thanks, I find it being emotional for me too. Sometimes its so overwhelming. But not so much that I stop. lol I love this app & the different thing that I have learned so far. I love working out so that won't stop either. I am enjoying it for the most part other than the crying sometimes. lol

Thank you guys. I've been doing some research on different ones. Commercial & herbal. I appreciate the honest imput.

I'm here everyday, feel free to add me. :) glad to meet you.

Type in strength training or weight lifting in the cardio part. It's not accurate but atleast its something. I keep a log of my strength training excercises under the strength training section for my own reference.

Home definitely. I just finished completing my home gym & I am cancelling my membership tomorrow. Cheaper, more convenient & I spend more time working out because the equipment is in my face. No excuses!

Thank you all! I never thought that I would be able to reduce my fat intake! I wrote this post early when I started MFP. I have done amazingly well with learning & applying! WOW!!!

Very inspiring. I started 2 months ago and lost 14 and I have yet to do measurements for my inches lost! Keep up the great progress ladies!!!

Me too. Anyone can add me, I'm here daily!

Well welcome back! Feel free to add me. I'm on daily.

Amazing work & dedication! Your progress in encouraging! Keep up the effort, can't wait to see more pics when you reach your goal! (*)

You can add me. I'm on everyday.

I love friends for encouragement too. I log daily. Add me.

Add me. o:)

Have your dad buy you gift cards for the nearest supermarket or just give you the cash to help you out. He can buy you a rotisserie chicken in place of a pizza too. Everyone has great suggestions. Extremely useful!

We hold on to those clothes for very good reason! lol....What a fine example! I have been able to do the same, and can see that I fit them even better this time around. Losing inches really makes a difference. Congrats to you & your success!

Hi Betsy, welcome I am fairly new also. Feel free to add me, we can encourage each other.

Been here doing this on my own. So far so good. Could use some friends.....add me!!!! o:)

The fact that your on here taking steps to help yourself is a big step. This shows you care about yourself and your loved ones. Do it step by step, one foot in front of the other. Stay positive! That's what keep me going. Best wishes.

Don't spend much time thinking about things. Just do it.

Welcome back to you! I'm still new to this site. I have no support (friends) except for this great app which is so beneficial to me. Best wishes on your restart!

Skechers has great running shoes. Pretty nice colors & comfortable.
