    Have dropped 41/2 lb since my pre op meeting a month a go, however convalescing whilst good but painful means no activity. Starting today with some very light weights to see how it goes.

    I have a silly question. I don't see an "edit" option on my post. Will we have to copy and paste a new post every week for the weigh ins?

    I started walking. It's slow as I have a bad ankle. But figure something is better than nothing. Husband says I smell like ketosis breath Hurrah? And I am dying for some cookies (but haven't bothered to figure out a wheat free version yet <--wheat allergy. 11 days gluten free)

    Hi Sarah.. I see you wrote your goal down as a long shot! Mine is, too. It's similar to yours! Let's see what results we can crank out!

    Struggles or successes of the week: I'm just switching over from WW to MFP and feeling really good about the move. I needed something new to kick-start my motivation and get me feeling energized about my goals. I also just ordered a FitBit Flex and will be setting it up tonight, so feel free to add me!

    I'm all for it! Let's go! I passed up ice cream today (it was so hard I wanted to cry!) but I hadn't checked what was wheat free before we went, so better safe than sorry. Best of luck this week :smiley:

    Thats a good question, since I do not see an edit option on my post either.

    I think the edit option is only available for an hour. I guess we will copy/paste. HA - I wish I'd already copy/pasted my original so I didn't have to go back and find it now LOL!

    How's is everyone's week going? I'm happy as a bug in the rug! I've worked out for five days in a row--which is quite rare for me! I had no self -control yesterday and HAD to eat a bagel, okay, well two! Sigh. But, today is a new and better day!

    I definitely need this to help keep me motivated!

    Height: 5' 9''
    Starting Weight (12/1): 229lbs
    Goal Weight (12/31): 220lbs

    Struggles or successes of the week:

    Successes -- Hubs and I bought some protein shake mix once I figured out that we weren't consuming enough protein every day. It was really hard to get enough protein in there without going over our calorie goals for the day. As of this post we've had 3 good days of calorie counting + increased protein intake, so I have high hopes for the end of the month!

    Struggles -- I've been having mega cravings for sweets! I permit myself 1 dessert item every night, usually a cup of hot cocoa or nonfat chocolate milk. I make sure I have "room" for it in my daily goals so I don't go over. But part of me just really wants a giant candy bar or a donut or something. So far I've avoided that, but it's been crazy difficult!

    Great job working out 5 days in a row!! Ya know.. sometimes you just have to eat a bagel! Ifind if I dont eat a small portion of my craving im going to gorge on it later.

    Thanks! And, you know what...you are so right! I was actually satisfied with my bagel and didn't worry much about it. Then just made sure I did some walking and stretching later on last night. I'm hoping to see a drop on the scale, but knowing my body, it may take a few weeks to see any kind of a drop in weight.

    Happy Friday!
