Welcome!
Hi, Shorty. Welcome to the site!
I have found a bunch of support here. Starting a diary (which you can update as you please and get feedback from other people), joining challenges (which come up every few weeks or so) and keeping my ticker up-to-date (see the sig below) keep me going.
Sixteen pounds is great! What have you been doing?

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
I should start this in diary?? But here goes.
In Febuary I started a temp job, sit down job that bosses are real relaxed. You can eat and smoke while you work, arggggg. 2 weeks into the job I can no longer breath just walking to my car so I buckle down, kick the cokes (i used to have 3 of 12 ounces at work and at least 2 of 16 ounces at home a day). I kicked the snack machine i hit 3 or more times a day down to once a day. I substituted pinapples in natural juices. And I tried natural herbs.Within the first 3 months I lost 14 pounds.
But then I got sick of sorts, monthly stuff messed up pretty bad and I gained a few pounds back.Then my tummy started swelling back up. The short of it I had to have emergency hysterectomy (spelling??)surgery 1st of October. This kind of set me back just a lil bit. Mentally and physically.
I added walking on my breaks and lunch when weather premits. I am drinking lots of water. I hate breakfast but to keep from getting hungry and binging I drink slimfast at breakfast time. And most days at lunch. Because super I just cant live without.
I supose because I have lost weight and feel better physically I need to kick it up another notch. Partly the reason why i searched online for suport.
I have clothes that fit a lot looser now and it brightens my spirits when I try them on. I made a comment to my husband about how loose a dress was on me and he snapped back, "why is it only you can tell your loosing any weight?" That hurt really bad. And made me want to give up.
Then at the store I will read the lable on something and he will comment "Still prentending your on a diet?" That really unravels me.
Dont get me wrong ,he is a very good man, very loving and usually very suportive, but when it comes to me wanting to lose weight or quit smoking, no suport at all, just nasty negative comments.
Thanks for listening!!!
