  • You know, we have it so good

    Today is the day after Christmas and I swear I have already seen a dozen commercials for something weight loss. They are hawking diets, diet pills, diet plans, diet foods, diet exercises, diet books and they all guarentee weight loss. They are right, they will ALL make your wallet thinner, guarenteed .....

    But, we, here at have it so good. We get our own personal trainers, coaches, cheerleaders, diet buddies, exercise plans, exercise partners, advise, menus, health tips, restaurant reviews, new product reviews and also make new friends. We have someone to go to 24 hours a day when we are depressed, we can whine, or cry and even ***** about stuff, we can laugh together and be silly and even run amuck!!!
    And the best part, we get it all for free.

    What do they say about a fool and his money! Can't say that about us.

    Glad you also have a sense of humor about it. It must be wonderful to find a solution and go onto other things.

      We're so much ahead of the rest of the world hehe

      I've also seen endless WW commercials! *shakes head* I used to pay to lose weight, and I lose pounds (as in monetary!) and no weight pounds!

          I'm so glad I don't have to run out there with the rest of the dieters and read up on the many diets and try to choose one. I've already found a WOE that I love and it's working and I don't have to do none of that or spend any extra money. Actually when I started the only extra money I spent was the cost of DANDR book.

            DANDR and the Atkins cookbook were all I paid for too! lol At first I was also buying in loads of special foods (before I read the book, I got them all in one trip to Walmart lol) and I spent about $200 in total, so I was prepared to spend loads. But then I stopped with the low carb ketchup, low carb bread, low carb this and that and read the book!

            It's saved me a fortune on food! All I complain about now is having to buy new clothes every few weeks because they keep getting too big for me!

                    It's so great to be losing weight for free!!! A friend of mine is a weight loss councellor for one of the Diet type organizations, and she told me that it would've cost me over $2500 to have lost the 88 lbs that I did, in the same time frame. That's a hefty downpayment on a cruise that we're taking in Feb! I have been guilty of paying to lose weight over the years, but now know I can do it for free, with the help of my friends on this board! I hope others realize that too.

                      Exactly. Makes me want to vomit at the # of people JUMPING at those things too, after pigging out since Halloween. Sad. That's why I knew Atkins was for me-- it was FREE.

                        I tried a WW style thingy for a bit - but I'm a bit of a loner and it just was not for me. I don't need to be humiliated into losing weight, the help and encouragement I get here works far better.
