This sounds wonderful!

For me, I had known my weight was creeping up on me, but the reality of it hit me when I saw myself in a family photo with my husband's family during our last visit. I found myself being tagged in a photo on Facebook and when I saw it, I was so embarrassed about how I looked! I had been making "life is too busy" excuses…

Thanks for the links! I had already discovered Marks Daily Apple, but these direct links took me right to the pages I wanted to see. :)

Congratulations! I know you must be so proud of yourself! :)

You can all feel free to add me as well. I would love to support anyone who needs a friend! :)

Very hard to decide on only one, but "We Were Soldiers" is right up at the top of my list. I would have said "Band of Brothers" (I can watch this over and over!) but it was actually an HBO mini-series. ;)

Don't know if this will help anyone or not, but I came up with a recipe for creamer for my coffee. As a side note, I am watching my carbs, so yes, it created with heavy cream. ;) The calories and such aren't much though, so I thought some of you might find it useful. :) 1 cup heavy cream 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla (I use…

Full, all-natural fats for me. I get our milk from a local dairy (still has the cream on top so you have to shake it up to mix it in), eat real bacon, full-fat yogurt, etc., and not only do I feel better, but I am losing weight. Almost 6 pounds in my first week. :)

Welcome! :) We all have times where we cave in to something, so don't let it get you down. One step at a time! :)

Welcome to all the newcomers! If you need a friend, feel free to add me. I joined quite a while ago, but just recently started diligently tracking (within the last 10 days or so) and I'm already down 6 pounds. You can do it! :)

What a great thread for those of us who weren't as blessed in the height department. :)

Lovely! :)

Feel free to add me as your friend. I would be happy to support you! :)

I would be happy to be added as a friend to anyone in this lovely group. Feel free to send me a request and let me know you are in the 40's group! :)

I have to agree with this. If you are already a size 0, I wouldn't think you would need to lose any weight at all.

I agree! One of my favorite snacks is a pink lady apple with a tablespoon or two of all natural creamy peanut butter to dip it in. I still lose weight and don't have to give up my fruit. :)

They sure can! My very first day on the forums there and I had some horrible comments made to me for asking a simple question. I don't recommend them at all! I also agree that there is no sense in paying for a program that basically counts your calories for you, they just turn it into "points". I figured it out once, and…
