A very dear friend gifted me with a fitbit (Charge HR) for my birthday. This little thing has been a godsend! I, unlike most here use loseit.com to track my caloric/protein intake. I'd highly...

Hi, congratulationss on your loss so far!:) I actually weigh myself everyday, as well. It really all depends on what the scale does to you as an individual. If it becomes your task master or slave...

Congratulations on hitting that "5." Each new number is a major victory. I , too, struggled with emotional eating... Not gaining weight during a episode of depression IS definitely note worthy!!...

Congratulations!! You look amazing:)

I'm glad that your doing better and healing up nicely. Warm water is good, isn't it? Sometimes I'll add lemon, too... I understand what you mean by hating the smell and taste of vitamins! It was very...
