Getting down there. Since I started this challenge late but all the weight I've lost is since January I'm going to count that weight towards the 20lbs so total loss of 7.8 lbs
Kenea, You are doing a great job!!! Keep up the good work it is so rewarding!!!0 -
The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
I read this on someone's post on MFP when I first started and I adopted it as my own. Every success I've experienced has been because health and fitness are at the top of my list ahead of recreational eating, pleasing others, relaxing, and a lot of other things that get in the way of doing what I know to be right.

Barbiecat got in there first!
Eatless I was just going to say Barbiecat's quote has inspired me massively. It just gets you into the right mindset. It's brilliant. 0 -
Happy Thursday everyone!! I went to a concert last night and I still went to spin class before it. More importantly I had eaten all my calories for the day so I didn't get a beer or anything at the concert! Previously I would have said "oh it's a special occasion" but I decided that some occasions have to be more special than others or otherwise I'll use them as an excuse all the time! I have 4.2 lbs to lose before the end of February (down 2lbs) so I can't afford to slip up!
I wont reach 20lbs by easter but I will win my dietbet!! 0 -
There all caught up from where I left yesterday. Left two pages unread sorry about that but if I want to be out of the house and gone for coffee by 7:30 quarter to eight. I had to do it that way.

Love that picture So cute. But I never found a word that made me think you were grumpy other than the fact that you can't do at 84 what you did at 64 wonder why. LOL
Mysty
Your almost there. Going to make more than 20 and that's a bonus.
Marie
Those muffins I found the recipe on google I asked for muffins made with oatmeal flour.
Your so computer smart i'm sure you will find them.
Faye and Ruthie
Congrats nice loses
As for me last night was tops night I was best loser with 4 lbs. I was very happy with that.
So I got off what I had gained at least. I started at 210 snuck up to 213.5 now 209.5. I treated myself to the wrong think last night had an ice cream bar. How stupid was that. But It still fit in my daily food goals.
So today it's going to be a great day.
Last night at tops we talked about
What is it that you expect from life (talking about our weight)
What do you expect to do to reach that goal.
See you all lighter

My attitude really show up yesterday when I had gained and been so good on the plan. I really don't need days like that. Just got to overcome them days' know I will continue to have days like that. I just got to overcome them. Its been many years since I have been in the 180's and I am getting closer. I will not let anything get in my way.

I've been a member of tops for many years. I wouldn't want to know how much i'd weight without them. I quit and gained many times. But I always go back manage to lose 20 lbs. Quit and gain it back must of done that 100 times over the years. I'm safe to say right now i'm at 20 lbs lighter than my heaviest at tops. So going for another 20 I have lots to lose. Let's make today a great day. I started on the right foot. Shower did my hair. They say if you like what you see in the mirror you will do good.
See you lighter

Good morning, LOSERS!!! My oh my, we have a lot of losers and that is fantastic!
Faye..big shout out for reaching the coveted ONEerland! Those of us still in TWOterville will be joining you sometime this year we hope!
Sparkle..good for you picking special occasions carefully.
Ruthie, Mysty, and Linda...weigh to go..keep on keeping on!
If I missed anyone, I'm sorry...afraid if I go back another page, I'll lose this post.
Hi Barbie...glad you dropped in.
Happy Thursday, everyone!
The sun is out some today but colder temps will be coming along with gusty winds. I'm not complaining because I know some of you live in icy, frigid climates so what I have here in SC is pretty balmy in comparison.
No formal excercise today, just gonna run errands, do housework, and get my steps in.
Have a great day and stay strong!

So happy you dropped the water weight. Yes, we all have days like that and we are here to help each other get through them!0 -
Thanks Connie.you are the backbone of this thread. If it wasn't for you I would probable be Back to eating in my old ways you made me realize how great this 1-1-1- is. I really enjoy looking at my plate and double checking to be sure I have my 1 servings of
carbs, one servings of fat and the one servings of protein and lots of free vegies.
