Brand new and a little nervous - hello from Texas
Hello from another Texan! I also spent forever reading before posting, and my first week turned out way easier than the weeks of worrying beforehand. Down 31 lbs since, and checking in here regularly …

Reminder: keep it kind and no vendor links in the open forums
Down 31 lbs and the daily check-ins here have been way less annoying without having to dodge junk links, so I'm all for the easier flagging. I flagged something once and it was gone within a day, whic…

First post - down 30 lbs and wanted to say hi

Random wins that made you smile today
Airplane seatbelt clicked on the first try for me last month at 31 down, caught myself grinning like an idiot on the tray table part. Crossing your legs without thinking is exactly the kind I love, co…

week 8 update posted today - the NSVs are adding up
The belt-loose phase hits before the scale shows it, I did the same thing around 30 down, kept hiking my jeans up thinking the dryer shrunk them. Stalls wrecked my head too at that point but the whoos…

month 5 update posted today - the NSVs are adding up
Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. How long did the food noise take to quiet down? We're all in this together.
