I'm 43 and have now officially started my weight loss journey. I need to lose 80 - 90 pounds. Feel free to add me, too!

Fun to be around.

I need to lose 85 pounds! Add me, I'd be more than happy to be your friend! I just started about 2 weeks ago and yes, it is very daunting. I struggle with being in the mood to work out but I've forced myself to do it for these past two weeks. It's starting to get a little easier.

Someone who would make me laugh :)

I have a scar that runs from my hairline straight down the center of my forehead to the bridge of my nose. I was 2 and had to have surgery for an extremely rare type of scleroderma that put me in the medical history books. No one has found my scar to be sexy, least of all me. I hide it behind my bangs and I do my best to…

The cure is water. The hangover is a result of your brain not having enough hydration. So drink lots of water. When you're out drinking, you should alternate. Have an alcoholic drink then a glass of cold water. Plus, the water will help fill you up and you won't drink as much :p

When you take in far less calories that your body needs in order to sustain itself, it thinks its starving, so it enters starvation mode. While in starvation mode the body will basically store all of the fat it possibly can because it knows it'll need it to burn as energy. It'll only get just enough, if that, to continue…

Why would you go from one addiction to another? This is terrible advice, whether or not it was meant in a joking manner.

Reach for carrot sticks, celery sticks with peanut butter, a banana with peanut butter, handful of nuts such as peanuts, almonds, stuff like that. As for the advice on quitting smoking? Can't help you there. I smoked for 25 years and quit cold turkey almost 3 years ago. It was easy for me and I haven't craved a smoke at…

Ha! Good idea!

Oh I'm not getting up at that hour to do it. I'm already up! I don't go to bed until anywhere between 3 am and 6 am. Though today is going to be ... now! I've been up all night!

Okay, good! I tend to feel like it at the strangest hours. Like around 2 - 3 am. Since I've been having difficulty sleeping I might as well do something productive while I'm up during those hours :) Thanks!

Thanks everyone ^_^ My doctor said I'm pre-diabetic. I'm really struggling with eating more than once per day to be quite honest. For as long as I can remember, I've only eaten once per day. I feel full all the time and there have been times when I've literally gone 3 days without eating anything because I've felt full all…

But this started a month ago and it does not matter what I eat. I'm so sleepy that I have to take a nap. When we had BK the other night, that's the first time in a long time that I had it. Same with the pizza. I just started keeping track on here again so it looks bad in the diary lol.

If I were into women, yes! Love the eyes!

Eat a handful of nuts every two hours between your main meals and you won't feel any hunger pangs and you'll eliminate carb/starch cravings.

I was told there would be punch and pie.

I'll take my husband over any man any day of the week. Though, I have to say if Ian Somerhalder were on the menu, I think my marriage would be in trouble.

What did you expect to lose in one or two weeks? 10 pounds? 5 pounds? Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.

42 here :)

Five years together or not, dump his *kitten*. You deserve better.

.25 = 1/4 You had .25 of 1 tablespoon. 1/4 = 25 of 100 So think of your tablespoon as 100, a whole.

I'm 5'3" and I'm aiming for 110. I'm also small framed so this is the perfect weight for me.

You do not want to do cardio and strength daily. You need to alternate. Do cardio 3x's a week and strength 2x's a week. So for example, do cardio on M, W, F, and strength on T, Th. Or whichever days work out best for you.

The healthy way to lose weight is to lose only 1 - 2 pounds per week. Yes, it takes longer, but it gives your body time to also adjust to the changes it's going through. Don't feel downhearted at all. Its progress and its being done the correct way. It's normal to hit a plateau. When you do notice the weight loss slowing…

I'm the same way, MrsW214. It's because you're focusing on what you cannot or should not be eating/drinking while trying to lose pounds and inches seriously. To make it a little easier, though, I've just changed the way I think about it or the way I look at it. For example - Instead of saying to myself "Damn, I wish I…

Here's a great article with a long list of iron-rich sources for vegans: http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/iron.htm & http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/dietary-sources-of-iron-for-vegetarians.html

Me too, Toya! I'm pretty new here myself actually.
