WOW. ..you are doing so great. Doesn't it feel good to look back over the last few months and see that you have lost 9.4 pounds? I think that is amazing. More than that, you stuck with it when things looked bleak. That in itself is HUGE. Keep it up and keep posting. You are an encouragement to a lo...

Wow, I cannot believe that it's Thursday already. So far this week has been really good. The one thing I have not done too much of is exercise, but again, I am just trying to get the food thing down and exercise only if I really want to. So, I kind of had a busy day yesterday as I worked a little in...

Today started out well..but ended up as a failure. I had to my oldest son to a therapy session today. It was much needed and I am glad that we went, BUT, my son does have clinical depression so that, ironically, has made me depressed as well. Mostly, I just want to find out how to help him. I think ...

Welcome to No S, AnnieJ. I think the support here is amazing and I really like to plan as it helps me not obsess about food and my weight all the time.
