No real tricks, but....I had my last caesar salad last week, NOT realizing how packed it was. Normally, with most salads I do not have any dressing. I like my salads in plain form, which took me a very long time to do. I watch portion size. I have a plastic pink bowl that I measured water in and I know it holds 2 cups, I…

Hi Isis, I am new to posting, had the motivation to join this wonderful site and that's about it. Your family seems to have the same health issues as mine and right now, I'm at a point where I want to lose, rather than coming to a point of being forced to lose. I'm 160lbs and trying to lose anywheres from 30-40. I weighed…

Hi Treeza, I am new too. Well, not so much to the site, but to the whole weight loss and exercise thing. I've tried it actually many times but failed. I am a point where it's now or never. Would love to add you, sending a friend request if you don't mind! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER for support if you'd like!!! :flowerforyou:

Cutting back on sugars will be a HUGE thing for me and will make a great difference. I gotta get rid of my TH triple triple…

emstethem thank you! The carb counter is a great help and I am not exercising as I probably should be either. Right now, I'm scouring the net for healthy food choice lists and exercises. I drink alot of water but unfortunately, 2+ large Tim Horton's triple triple coffees are a bad addiction right now. But I can quit them,…

Thank you for your suggestions barnmum. You're right, we do need different hobbies. He finds running relaxing, I find walking very relaxing. Luckily for us, our city has some great paved trails to walk/run on. My eating habits aren't too too bad, it's just portion control is a big thing. Somedays I think I have it down…

Thanks Kellie! My husband is a marathon runner and he is sooo supportive, but I'm always feeling like I'm holding him back. He runs several times a week and what I wouldn't give to be able to walk as many times. Which I know I can, just need to find the motivation. I am deathly afraid of the health implications if I don't…

I'm in New Brunswick, the capital city actually.
