Heading into the gym for calisthenics and Zumba:)

Thanks for keeping the group going.... I'd be lost without it. Glad that the few of us that are still here have a place to go for encouragement. Life is a roller coaster.... Up down and all around And I really enjoy seeing everyone's adventures, and sharing mine as well. TTYL Carol B)

Go Team Go! Luckily I never had the diabetes thing to worry about... just brain surgery, blood clots and gall stones... Gotta love Neuro and Gastro Docs... TTYL

And to follow up on Snoozie's post: Diet soda (although we've all given it up I'm sure) is filled with empty chemicals... it's better to have the one real soda.. because without the "white sugar" your body will crave, hence why we go for the candy bar, etc. really quickly... And another thing that I've learned along the…

New Year - New Us.... we can and will do this B)

Lol...congrats on the loss... Are you working off the app or a computer? I'm more on the app since 2013...that's when I got my first cell phone.. Finally joined the 21st century :smile: And my son just got smileys on my phone... TTYL Carol B)

Hi Scarlett, Luckily I've not had any horrible struggles... I used to be the cold one in the group - now even with the weight loss I haven't had that difficulty. I'm usually lukewarm... one my husband I went on our honeymoon... he had the ice water for desert and I ended up having hot chocolate...lol... I used to be overly…

Welcome Scarlet... I'm 52 and in the same boat... you can and will do this... one day at a time...

ugh... I know the feeling Snoozie... had to reset the ticker and goal to lose 1 lb per week... I think it's time for a road trip to somewhere warm...
