Thank you! Congrats on doing well on your diet! Thats the hardest part and dealing with job stress and family can make it even harder. I'm sure you're going to look fantastic in your new summer clothes.

TOM=Time of month...for the ladies

Thanks Chickie. I have finally made my own sugar-free syrups. I also have made some liquid stevia. I am liking them so far and they are a big help in mixing up the flavors of my protein shakes. I think I am ready to try a new exercise video. It's starting to get in the 90s here already, so I need to have something for those hot days.

You make your own liquid stevia? How? I'd love to know as I would really like to get off of Splenda but I'm having a hard time giving it up.

Yep. I brought the NOW Better Stevia extract. I use a tablespoon per 25oz. It works great. It lasts longer as well.

Thanks Mizzthingaling...I'm googling it now. I really need to get off of Splenda but it's just so easy...especially when I'm at work and they've got it right in the kitchen next to the coffee maker.

I understand. I use to love Splenda too. You know there is always the Truvia. I actually like the generic brand that Dollar General sells for $1.

So NSV. I Dr. was excited about my weightloss. She was happy about my face clearing from an allergic reaction too. She's taking some tests, so hopefully, I can get off of some meds soon.

I brought a couple of sundresses and new shirts for summer. I picked some styles that will do good as I continue moving.

That's so exciting Mizzthingaling! New clothes always make me feel amazing.

Hello Ladies! I haven't been active on the site but steady on my journey. I see a lot of new people Nice to meet you all and lots of luck on this journey. Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Hi Lovely Sisters, I've just found this thread and happy to have found it. I'm relatively new to the forum. I found it right after I had just gotten rid of a so-called boyfriend. It's strange--I've dropped 14lbs since dropping him. Anyway, I'm on my way toward my goals (I've got quite a few of them). I look forward to forming friendships and gaining inspiration from you ladies. Have a wonderful week and a Sweet Monday.

Hey y'all! Bumping this thread. I've moved to Dallas and am really getting back on track. I checked out a Weight Watchers meeting. Not sure if I'll sign up, but it'll be that, working with a trainer, or both.

I have been slacking but I'm on a 6 week go hard with exercise/diet...starting today. I have to get these last 20 pounds off.

Hey ladies. Time for me to get back on my A game. I had a lot of stuff happen going on in the past year and a half and ate back 45 of the 113 pounds I lost. I gotta get back on my calorie counting plan and working out. I was almost in my size 10 and now I'm ready to get it in and get in my size 10.

Hey beaka and jiggle free! WElcome back jump back in the game you guys can do it!

Hello everyone,
This is my first day on this site and I'm still geting a feel for it. Looks promising and I'm hoping to meet alot of new people. I'm starting my weight loss journey this week, using The Fat Smash Diet as a precursor to helping me with portion control and managing my time with meals and everything else in my life that's going on.
Hopeing to check in after my detox phase with good news!
