Welcome, Shy! Any questions, just ask!

Welcome from Maine!

Welcome, Kyky... My daughter's name is Kylie... :)

Welcome to the site!

Welcome! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

Glad to have you here!

Welcome! My best suggestion is to read some of the old message boards to get some good tips. Don't be afraid to ask for help!

Great job! Keep up the good work!

From what I understand, and I may be wrong here, but I assume that water weight is water retained in our bodies. Like when we eat salt or when women have their monthly flow, we retain more water, instead of flush it out. When someone gains or loses quite a bit of weight in a day or two, it is assumed to be water weight…

Welcome, Kath! Glad you're here!

Welcome, Baller! Doesn't it feel sooooo good when someone comments on how you look and they had no idea you were working out? Congrats for taking the step!

WELCOME~!~

I agree, Banks. Even though I WANTED to do the weight challenge, I purchased a new scale and didn't do it. I was weighing myself every day, and it was rather disappointing. I was fluctuating, and wasn't losing any weight. Just this morning, I weighed myself after resisting the scale for a few days, and to my amazement, I…

Welcome!

That is AMAZING! Keep on keepin' on!

Welcome, Renee! I have been working out for about a month also and I haven't seen any changes, either. Hang in there! It's gotta come sometime!

Welcome~!~

Wow! I have been thinking about writing a post like that! You basically took the words right out of my mouth! I don't know if you should see a therapist. I am not a doctor. A therapist might be able to get to the bottom of just exactly WHY you are obsessed with food, though, and it might give you some relief. For me, food…

Congratulations! What an awesome goal, and no more perfect time to have reached it!

Welcome!

I agree!

Julie, Thank you for sharing! You obviously want to succeed because you told on yourself...not easy to do. As for me, Halloween treats have been testing my willpower. I have been succombing to the treat bowl in my office a couple times a day. Thank God Halloween is over because the candy bowl will disappear. I got a…

Glad you were honest on your first day! I eat "at people" and "at things" a lot. One of the hardest things for me to do was to tell my family and friends not to bring chips and tempting treats into my house. If it's there...I will eat it. I can't afford the extra calories. It has worked for the most part. My father takes…

I feel your pain, Skinny! I remember going through heartache that I thought I would NEVER get through. Albeit long, I always came out the other side. Sometimes it took longer than others, and sometimes I had more bruises than others. It happened all of a sudden. One night, I went to sleep on my own (WITHOUT passing out)…

Glad you're here, mechanic! Isn't it crazy how food can rule our lives? If you are persuaded (or choose) to go to a fast food restaurant, maybe next time, you can go to one like Wendy's. They have lots of lower-fat alternatives than most. Even McDonald's has yummy salads and alternatives to a big mac and fries.…

Welcome to you both! This site will become a new addiction, as it has to me. Take it one day at a time! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome, Crystal! So glad you are a part of our team. Hopefully this works for you. I know it keeps me very honest. Good Luck and thanks for speaking up! Jenn

Welcome, cuddles! I hear ya on the body image stuff. I struggle with that, too. I don't think you will find anyone here who doesn't! Keep your chin up. I'm sure you will find foods that are just as inexpensive and quick to prepare that are way better for you! Glad you spoke up! Welcome! Jenn

Welcome and congratulations on taking the plunge! You will fit right in here!

Congrats! Great to hear success!
