Many of us have fought our weight issues our entire life. That would be me and although I am a very happy person with an amazing life, I sure wish I could be thin and healthy just once. Maybe just to say I had done it and also so I could feel the best possible in this journey of life. Surely I know that I am not alone. I have read the books, checked out the programs and I subscribe to all the magazines, but I know deep down that it is all up to me. That being said, in the last year or so I have found a really great website with many tools, recipes, etc....that I want to share with those who may not have discoverd it yet. The link is:

www.sparkpeople.com

 

I get nothing out of you checking this site out, only the satisfaction of knowing that it might help a fellow Gatherer. I wish anyone else on this difficult jouney the very best of luck !

Thanks Karen! For those of you who have read my recent diet trials, you know I really need some moral support! Bravo Karen and best of luck to you!

Thanks for the link Karen, but thankfully I have just this past year figured out how to change my diet around to help me not only lose weight but to fight my diabeties and high cholesterol. I feel good, and I hope the best for you. Good luck to everyone trying, the real key is your mind set, without that forget the diet.

Being thin isn't all it's cracked up to be. When I was 425 pounds; I was healthy. Once I lost all that weight and dropped to 180; my health went to hell. And it's easy to lose. I devised my own diet and got so used to following the plan I invented for myself; I can't kick it and still follow it. Now, it's hard for me to put weight on, as I still lose and drop too low.

Good luck with your venture, Karen. Thanks for the info.

I love that site! I'm trying to lose the last of my baby weight (even though he's 2 1/2) and I think that site helps me a lot.

Jill - I'm still losing baby weight and she'll be five in a few weeks! LOL.

You are my second connection to tell me about this site so I really need to go check it out. Thank you!

Thank you, Karen. In my most honest moments, I admit I know what I SHOULD be doing, but have yet to choose to DO it.
