  • When I stopped to analyze what was making me fat I realized it was dinner! Throughout the day, I didn't really eat too badly but I probably ate enough dinner for more than one person. I always found myself snacking while I made dinner , picking at my kids' plates, eating way too big of a meal and picking at the leftovers -…
  • My mother always taught me if I didn't have anything nice to say - don't say anything at all. It is downright scary the amount of people out there who do not think before speaking. I agree with the jealousy theory mentioned earlier. Feel good for doing what is right for you and feel sad for those who have to say obnoxious…
  • Hello and welcome! I have to agree with the other ladies and feel 900 might be a little low for a healthy loss. I do 1200 and I have lost close to eight pounds in about 2 weeks. I try to exercise every day whether it be gardening or a run with my dog - but I sneak in toning exercises around my day using idle time and that…

  • Don't panic - there is still time to make the day right! Check out the exercise feature and pick out something that will help you burn some of those calories off.

  • Hey, it happens! Don't be so hard on yourself - probably everyone reading your post can relate and has felt the same thing at one point or another. I know I am fearful of my upcoming vacation for the same reason. You fell off the bike - get back on! You can do it!
  • Count me in! Don't focus on the total you want to lose - focus on how good each pound feels once gone. You won't be so overwhelmed. Good luck! You will love this site.
  • Stay strong and be proud of yourself for doing the right thing for yourself. Your family and co-workers' support will come around when they see how good you are doing. I switched myself and family to an organic and minimally processed diet recently and my parents and other family members tease me all the time. I notice a…
  • Every day at 3:00pm, I am ravenous - 12 almonds do the trick for me. Good fat - high protein.
  • Thanks I needed that!!:wink: I kept up with my walks my little trainer (my cattle dog doesn't let me miss one lately) this weekend so it wasn't as bad as it could have been but I was feel guilty this morning! I caught the bandwagon this morning again!
  • Hi there, I understand loving an activity and then SCREECH - it's bad for you. I was presented with the same choice you are facing - find something else or have your mobility affected down the road. I heard the words "shave" your hips bones down and the choice was clear to me - take care of myself and save my joints. I was…
