Shamrockmommy, my heart goes out to you! I really respect those who are deployed overseas and leave behind families who miss them sooooo much. My oldest girl was in the Army for 4 years and sent straight to Germany a few months after graduating high school and her other training. Then from Germany s...

Thank you for the welcome Silky. I don't believe I have heard of Oak Island! It sounds like y'all are really having fun. My brother in law likes golfing but my husband doesn't. He's what they call a country boy with his hunting dogs and guns. He takes 5 weeks of vacation in the Fall to hunt with his...

Thank you for the welcome CrazyCatLady. Reading what you wrote brought tears to my eyes. You sound like my 24 year old daughter. She tells me those kind of things too. I was a Hairstylist for 15 years. I missed out on sooo much of my oldest girl growing up......not going to alot of school functions ...

Hi y'all ! I have found this great website for anyone who exercises to stay fit physically. It doesn't matter whether you shovelglove, hike, walk, jog, run, bike, on and on. You take the minutes that you work out and they are converted to miles. One min. = 1 mile. You pick the car or truck you want ...

I wish I could go to the Biggest Loser for like 2 or 3 weeks and I would be happy. I have no self control. I am into the do it now see results now!!! I need to gain some patience. ?? Yes, me too!! I told my husband and my 2 daughters living at home I'd love to go to Cal. and do this. The girls said...

It is sad but I used to plan my evening on what I was going to watch and what I would eat. It was like a reward. I would eat all of the time b/c we had it never b/c I was hungry. I seriously love food. It is sad. . By the way do you watch Biggest Loser?? That is my all time favorite show!!!!! I kno...

Hmm, I wonder if I'll be a convert. I have lost weight before. Usually, I start out with the same zeal as I have before when I've failed, and a few weeks later, see that I have actually stuck with it. I've never set a goal to do it, and then did it. So I would be happy to fall into success here, to...

Florida girl...my heart goes out to you about the knee. I ended up having surgery on my left knee 3 yrs ago and was out of work for 6 weeks. I didn't have to get a replacement ...just other work done. The doctor got on me then about being overweight.....not helping the knee....he said! My oldest gir...

Thank you for the welcome resting52. We live about 1 1/2 hrs from the Outer Banks of NC. The town we live in is very small, about 2,000 folks. We live on a small creek. We have a boardwalk thru the marsh that leads out to a pier on the creek. DH fishes and we like to canoe and kayak. It's a slow lai...

SusieAllison, Hi...I might be interested in doing low carb thru the 5 weekdays....I definitely drink alot of sweet tea and when that has run out I drink the kids Kool-aid. LOL I don't know how it would work out doing the S days eating whatever.....Anyway.....if you're still interested let me know. T...

Thank you Rose for the welcome! Enjoyed looking at your progress chart too. AMIE

I know what you mean when you eat something that your body just isn't really wanting. I've found thru trial and error to ask myself what is it I am really wanting right now. Is it something warm, cold or crunchy, etc. Because, If I eat a meal that I'm just not wanting, later I go searching thru the ...
