I can't even begin to imagine how difficult the death of your son was for both you and your wife. I am so sorry. I am also amazed and inspired by your ability/willingness to look at the "big" picture and to think of how you want to live the rest of your life. We all need a reminder every now and then about how precious…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! And good luck....you CAN do it and this is the first step!!!:smile:

Don't panic and don't give up!!! It is possible to eat too few calories and send your body into "starvation" mode, where it holds on to fat because it thinks food is not forthcoming. This truly happens...I am not saying that this is what is happening to you...BUT it is worth researching...I know there are threads about…

I'd like to try too! I'm new and this will be my first challenge. Do we just come back to this thread?? Thanks for the great idea!!:happy:

I'm a newbie too....Logged food for a few days and then finally took the next step and started "interacting" with people on the site.:smile: It really is neat, and seems to be a good support network already! I need/want to lose about 30 pounds too...am already pretty active (run, gym, etc.) and eat healthily...but really…

Wow!!!! I'm going to go back and read your entry every time I feel like giving up. I just started a week ago....What an inspiration you are!!! Go-go-go!!!:happy:

Tomorrow is another day....And you are doing SO well!! You inspire me!! I'm feeling similarly...Just joined this week (haven't even had my first weigh in with myself yet!) and didn't get to the gym today AND went over my calorie goal by 200 tonight. Boo. Oh well...I like your "onward and downwards" motto!! :smile:

I'd love to know what you find out if you go to a chiropractor. I hurt my lower back in a fall (while running) awhile back and nothing has made it better. I stretch, take pain meds (although try to limit them), use heat, walk, etc, etc, and it just isn't getting better. It hurts to run so I haven't been doing that...can do…

OK...This is soooo cool! (Yes, I'm a techno idiot!:blushing: ) I am currently teaching kindergarten....Taught 5th grade for the last three years, and have taught just about everything (from preschool to graduate school ) before that. I think I like the little ones best...although I miss the great discussions I had with my…

OK...How do I do that?? I'm new too....Also a teacher with 3 sons (all WAY older than 9 months!:frown: ) What grade do you teach? You will be my first friend once I figure this out....Ha!
