That is great, Joy! And along with that you can be sure that your overall health is or will be better than before, too!

Every organ in our body benefits from weight loss as well as our joints, circulation and conditions like diabetes or blood sugar problems.

What I also found is that having some success helps my mood and encourages me to be more active. It's like a cycle.

So, good for you! yeah yeah yeah

Yay you! Twenty-one pounds! That's how much my grandbaby weighs and when I carry him in arms he feels very heavy! I need to lose twenty pounds myself. My problem is portion control. I stopped eating sweets a long time ago and have stopped craving sugar. I'm good with my carbs but I know I eat too much and even low carb foods will add the pounds or keep you from losing. I've noticed that when I eat alone I don't eat much but when I eat with friends I tend to eat more than I should. I'm going to think of you when I eat and think " portion control!" I hope to post weight loss soon...no...I will post weight loss soon!

Hi Joni! Yes, it's true for me, too. I always eat more if I'm with friends and family. Good luck and keep us posted!

yeah

It's tough to do portion control when you're busy talking and having a good time.
I'm a stress eater myself. I always dealt with good or bad stress by eating. I'm learning to exchange eating for hobbies. If stressed I find something to do to distract myself. It seems to be working.
