Books that inspire you...
I'm not really a reader but when it comes to true stories or anything about weight loss -- it captures my attention. I read one book called "He loves Lucy by Susan Donovan" -- loved it.

Slowing it down....eating too fast.
I eat to fast. A while back a friend's son said something to me about eating so fast. I was embarrassed. I know he wasn't meaning to be mean but I became very self conscious about it for awhile......but I'm back to eating fast again. I don't realize it until I have finished my food that others who had started eating before…

I was a part of a running group and was running 4-6 miles three times a week and still not losing weight. I wasn't eating perfect but i wasn't eating badly either. To make a…

Would like some friends as I go along this journey
I fairly new to this site and on every day. While I enjoy reading the community list, I would like to network, follow, be friends with others who are committed to this journey of losing weight and getting healthy. I am older than a lot of people on this list (at least from what I have seen) and while at the time my body…
