  1. No matter who we are, no matter what we do, we absolutely, positively do have the power to CHANGE. Put all excuses aside and remember we are CAPABLE. We can do anything we want as long as we stick to it long enough. Act as if it were IMPOSSIBLE to FAIL. Where we start is not as IMPORTANT as where we FINISH...I feel we all need to find the inner STRENGTH within ourselves and win the BATTLE. We can only change ourselves with MOTIVATION, STRENGTH and SUPPORT. If we moderate ourselves and teach o...

      I am happy for this weight loss and when I reach 176, I will be down 50 pounds. It's just coming off so slow, it's driving me loco!

  6. The Lite Fare Egg White Omelet at Denny's is delicious, I could only eat 1/4 of it and I was full! Get the fruit instead of the hashbrowns.

      I am down 72.5 lbs since preop, 57 lbs since surgery. I eat a scrambled egg for breakfast, a coffee with 18% coffee cream, and my supplements. Then some kind of protein and veggie and maybe some rice for lunch (usually a left over), and a protein and veggies and potato or rice for dinner. My protein is usually 3 oz and done in a higher calorie sauce or marinade to add flavor and calories. I usually have a specialty coffee for a snack (skinny vanilla latte or something like that) and then a nu...

  8. Made it to 180 pounds this morning, down 46 total.

  9. I have 35 pounds to go to my first goal. Why won't my body turn loose of the fat it's hanging onto so badly? I went the whole month of November only losing 3 pounds, and so far in December, nothing! Could I be insulin resistant?

      I am in your boat. I don't lose weight like everyone else. I wish it would start coming off on me again. I guess we should be happy we did not gain.
