I'm a lap band baby (4 months out) but I've lost 50 pounds my feet don't hurt anymore, I can run and play with my kids, I'm not obsessed with the next meal while I'm still eating this one. I already feel successful!!

The plain is more tart but I put crystal light in it and it's delicious!!

11 miles for me!! Jan 1-5

I'm in too. Cheryl I have those tapes and I'll be walking with you!! I need this motivation!

I cooked and ate Christmas dinner with my family and stuck to protien and veggies!! I threw out the left over pumpkin pie because I am the only one in my house that eats it. I feel so empowered!! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Have a very Merry Christmas !!

I hope one day I can get to a point where it is my lifestyle but right now this holds me accountable. I try to see food as fuel but I'm definatly not there yet. Head hunger is my biggest obsticle!!

You inspire me all the time!! I wasn't tracking calories and my weight loss slowed down so I started using Myfittnesspal and saw that I was eating to many carbs and calories. You're right it is a diet!! Thank you for always helping me!!

Hugging my babies tighter in NY and praying for all the families.

Feel free to add me. Joann852

I'm in the Hudson valley too. Gardiner,where are you?

I would like the egg timer distraction too! jdecker002@hvc.rr.com Thanks

I just had to go and get another bra there too. I can't wait til there all too big! It won't be long. I love my band too.

My family is in the kitchen right now eating pizza and I'm in the next room on here! Most meals are fine but pizza is hard.

Sometimes I forget who's in charge. Thanks for reminding me to pray.

I plan on eating what I can have and playing on the floor with my little nephew!! Happy thanksgiving everyone.

Awesome!!

Hi everyone! Add me too Joann852

Stupid kit kats got me last night!(or did I get them?!) Oh well today is a new day. I told my kids to hide thier candy where Mommy can't find it!

Thanks everyone!! I couldn't do it without all the great support you guys give me. I often come on here instead of going to the kitchen and snacking.

At the Dr yesterday I weighed 196!! I can't believe it This is the most amazing feeling. I have to remember this when the "head hunger" strikes.

I don't count calories. I eat 3 meals ( 1 cup each) and a protien snack, drink plenty of water, and walk. I'm losing weight so that's what matters to me. Counting calories feels too much like all my failed diets. Good luck!!

You inspired me to experiment!! Here's what I did this morning with what I had: 1 cup warm coffee, 1 splenda, 1 scoop vanilla protien powder, 1 tbsp cocoa powder. Put it all in the blender. Yum Yum! Thank you~

My biggest inspiration is playing with my kids instead of sitting on the sidelines. Then there's compliments, smaller clothes,feeling better about myself, and finally being in control of food.
