I'm joining right now and going do my pushups. Wish me luck. Woo-hoo!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. I felt and still feel the same way. I started this a couple of weeks ago and it seemed almost impossible. Where do I start? How do I lose the weight? I started making very small changes. I felt overwhelmed by eating right, exercising, recording food, etc. So, I just made a conscience effort to…

My husband and I along with my DIL and grandson went to my in-laws yesterday to celebrate their wedding anniversary. My MIL has been very sick with an overactive thyroid issue. She weighed about 180 lbs before getting sick and has lost 47 lbs. We have always been very close and always have gotten along well. Yesterday when…

Try Power Yoga. It's a great workout. Lots of moves and really gets you limber. Not regular boring Yoga stuff (sorry), but a real challenge.

Congrats! What an awesome feeling. I just bought a new LSU shirt for tailgating season. It's a little tight, but I kept it and now my goal to get into it before football season starts! Geaux Tigers :happy:

I'm kind of going through the same thing as you are. I've been depressed and feeling like a failure because I can't stick to eating healthy and doing what I need to do. Yesterday I posted a message similar to yours. The people on this site really helped me believe that there is help and that I can do this and that I…

Hi all, I would love to get started biking with y'all. I have signed up for an event to support our Wounded Warriors and trying to raise money for the organization. The big ride is on Veteran's Day (11/11). I've never been a biker so I guess the best place to start is just getting on the bike and riding. I have to give the…

Thank you all so much for the encourgement. The quote that got me the most is: "Lastly - BE POSITIVE!!! YOU ARE A WORTHY PERSON AND YOU HAVE VALUE." It brought tears to my eyes! I know I should feel worthy and have value, but a lot of times I don't. This is something I'm working on as well. It's hard to let myself believe…

I do want it, but it's like my mind is thinking one thing and my mouth another. :embarassed: I know it's totally up to me to either fail or succeed. I just need to figure out on how to get started and stick with it. I've read a lot of the messages on this board and it seems so many people have success stories. I want to be…

I have started and stopped so many diets. I joined this site about two weeks ago and the first week I did pretty good. Then last week we went on a small vacation and I totally blew it. I have about 30 lbs to lose and it seems all I want to do is eat. I know what I need to do to lose the weight, but I can't seem to get…

Congrats! Great job!

I started this site yesterday and thought I did really well. I had used up a lot of my calories and only had 254 left for supper. I thought I made a smart choice in eating Special K cereal with 1% milk. I had a little more than a serving so I went over by about 100 calories. Guess that's better than what I would have…

Thanks for your support and please tell your SIL and daughter thank you for their service. Congrats on the new grandbaby. I have one due in December. It's the greatest thing. Enjoy!

Hi, I just started like 10 minutes ago and really excited about having support from others who have been there. Good luck!

I just found out about your site and anxious to get started. My son is on his 3rd Middle East Combat tour and of course that means mom is eating everything because of stress and worrying. My weight has continued to claim and I can't seem to get motivated. I lack energy and I'm not sleeping correctly as you can imagine. I…
