I was in this group about a year ago, trying to lose weight. Things just sort of feel off for me. I didn't keep up. So now I'm back, and sticking to it this time.
The motivation is there, because SHOCKINGLY, I've just lost 10 lbs in one week. I started with slim fast, but I think what really did it was just cutting out every single carb from my diet. I expected maybe 3 lbs, but never 10. So i'm beyond thrilled, and my motivation is just sky hight right now.
It feels good to post in here again :)

Nice to see you back, Yvette! I know it feels good to see results from efforts! 10 pounds the first week is really great. So glad you're encouraged with this fresh start. Way to go!!

I can't even tell you how many times I've started over. I can definitely relate to you. I really want to do it this time.

@kbg, I was 125 lbs for as long as I can remember. Now I got up to 196. I really, REALLY don't want to be there any longer. I'm at the point where I'm just sick and tired of it. I'm tired of not getting in family pictures (because I refuse to being this big), I'm tired of having to continually buying one size bigger in clothes, and I'm tired of having a hard time tieing my shoes because my stomach is getting that big. Plus, I have arthritis and a bad back. My extra weight is not helping those situations at all. At the end of May, I just said to myself that I was going to start SlimFast shakes, because that is how I lost weight before, and I was going to cut out carbs. Little did I know I would lose 10 lbs. But now I'm completely motivated and I'm going to stick with it.

I think that's what I need to set me on the right path. If I start making some progress I think it'll motivate me.

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me. The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
