Welcome
Hello. I've created this group as a support for those of us who have the added stress of being a loving caregiver. It is so easy to just put our own needs aside. My focus for myself is on losing weight, I'm about half way to my goal. Do you need a place to decompress each day? Let's help each other through our stressful…

Not ready to give up yet on this group!
Anyone still around to kick start this group again? I still am committed to being a "CAN" person when dealing with weight loss. I've not been able to check in for about a month, but in the meanwhile, even through some difficult times :( AND a vacation :) , I've managed to hold on to my previous weight loss. Actually, I…

RE: TOPIC: Hello, anyone else for 20 pounds?
So here it is, finally, the "group" for us to work together towards our 20 pounds losses. I was attempting to invite each of you who had responded to my original thread [TOPIC: Hello, anyone else for 20 pounds?], but it was getting to confusing, so instead I am posting to that thread, leading those who want to join in to…

Hello, anyone else for 20 pounds?

I do not want another fall/winter of having too tight of jeans! Most people plan for their "get ready for Summer diet", I'm planning on my "get ready for Fall diet"! Anyone…

The math of weight loss
This thread concerns the math of weight loss: how does the computation of calories work in weight loss (or gain)? To loose a pound, you need 3500 less calories than what it takes to maintain your present weight. These calories can be saved by eating less, or spent by exercising. I currently need approximately 1600 calories…

Had a comment on your [over] weight lately?
I evidently started my diet for weight loss JUST IN TIME. I carry weight well, I can gain or loose pounds and it is not all that noticeable. But I've gotten to 20 pounds overweight now. Within the past month I've had TWO comments about how I've picked up weight. One said "I can see it in your face" (which is politer than…

Reading labels (soy milk)
Well I learned something interesting today. I drink soy milk and rice milk, and have tried many brands. Today I tried a new one, Soy Slender Soymilk, chocolate, "no sugar added". Sounds good! Calories just 70 per cup. So, first sip, I knew there was something odd. I checked the first ingredient, "organic soymilk". Humm,…

Getting started
Today I decided to lose those 20 pounds that keep me from fitting into my regular sized clothes. I recently went on a trip where I had the chance to buy new clothes, and I realized I was not willing to spend even a dime on larger-than-I-need-to-be clothes! Especially while I knew I have lots of clothes hanging in my closet…
