I'm back!
Hello everybody! I started using this site about 4 years ago, when I was struggling to lose the last 10 pounds. Unfortunately, the 'last 10 pounds' turned into 60 pounds as I developed an eating disorder. I was down to 70 pounds, I had a heart attack, and was hospitalized before I started to gain again. That was 3 years…

I need some horsey friends.
I love talking horse or anything else for that matter! I'd love to have some new friends who ride, own or just love horses. :) I'm good support too :D

Family against weight loss?
My family was happy when I decided to get healthier, but now they are saying I'm 'too skinny' and 'don't eat enough' and 'work out too often'. I slowed down a little bit and tried to make it seem like I'm eating more and working out less when around them, but it didn't help at all. They even got me diagnosed with an eating…

Are you gonna stick around?
So I'm on the final stretch (last 5 pounds! Woohooo!) But I was just wondering, are you guys planning on sticking around after you hit that goal weight? My plan is to switch to the 'maintain my weight' setting and stick around to support. :) What about all of you?

Sugar subsitutes good or bad?
I heard a long time ago that sugar substitutes, such as equal, are just as bad for you as regular sugar, if not worse. This caused me to give up diet pop (as well as regular) which gave me noticable results. But is this really true? Could sugar substitutes be the thing keeping the pounds on?

I'm getting a little squishy.. why?
The past few days I have noticed that my waist area has been getting a little bigger and squishier, compared to the muscle tone I used to have. I can't weigh myself (no scale available) so I can't really tell if I gained, but I'm wondering which of these is more likely to make it that way: A little less than 3 weeks ago, I…
