It's been a while since I've been here, as I was feeling discouraged and gave up on my weight loss efforts for a while. However, Yesterday I weighed myself after not weighing myself in ages, and it was worse than I thought. I have hit my highest weight ever, and I'm feeling really sad about it and very self conscience. But... no use feeling sorry for myself. Giving up isn't an option, I'm going to keep fighting for the thinner body that I want. So just trying to take it one day at a time. Today was a good day of healthy eating and a little exercise. Tomorrow is a new day...

Good for you Lyds, one day at a time. That is a good way to look at it. I also believe in eating healthy, portion control, and more movement. Slow and steady is the way to go.

I am feeling exactly the same way. Wishing you the very best and all we can do is take one day at a time. I know it's so frustrating!

Today is day 2 of a new, healthier YOU Lyds. You can do this! Enjoy your healthy choices and moving around. Enjoy the way your body feels when you're putting healthy fuel into it! Find fun and healthier ways to fix the foods you like -- and find new healthy foods to enjoy too.

I went almost 60 years avoiding Brussel Sprouts at all costs ;-) Now, roasted Brussels with a little balsamic vinegar are something I crave!

What changes or new foods are you going to try this week?

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
