How many of us are left?

vicky1947mfp

How many of us are still active on here? I only see about 5 or 6 commenting anymore. Hope you guys are still here and active.

I know it is hard work but it is so well worth it. I know I feel so much better since I have lost 43 lbs. Now am in maintenance and trying to stay at goal weight. Thanks for your support in helping me stay at my goal weight.

I'm still here. Of course. Just been a little quiet lately. I don't always get to read every day. The last couple days I spent most of it asleep. My back went out so I have been trying to sleep the pain away.

I am here! I have not done well this challenge but have not given up. I am training for 1/2 marathon so exercise is pretty decent but the eating is not good.

Hope your back feels better soon. My husband has back trouble off and on so I know how that can effect everything you try to do.

Take it easy.

I'm here, I just havent had much success lately, I was just saying the same thing about short season, being just around the corner. In a week ,I will have been on MFP for 2 years straight of logging and tracking. Time for a new commitment, still down over 53 pounds, so tracking has helped to not gain it all back. Hang in there everyone, we'll get there. Janice

53 lbs is awesome. WTG. It is a lifestyle not a short-term diet.

I cleaned out my dresser and I am happy to say all of my shorts I have bought recently still fit good, I did get rid of more big shorts, it was just a reminder to not ever go back. Janice

Love this. I need to get rid of my size 10's. Got rid of all larger sizes and I should not hang onto the 10's (or maybe 8's) either. I still have that little niggling in my brain that is saying " remember all the other times ". But you know, I have furnished my wardrobe this time mostly at consignment shops so I could do it again if need be. But I should not even be thinking that way.

I do keep a giveaway box in the closet so if I come across things, in they go. But just can't summon the energy to do a full purge.

I am doing the trick in my closet of turning my hangers backwards with what I wear this year and if I have not worn it by next year, I will give away.

I've found that some of my friends seem to think of me as a clothing disposal unit. Every other month I'm hearing, 'Hey, I've got some clothes that might fit you'. I've had to do a constant mini-purge of my closet, because there's no room in there anymore!! I've gotta say, I feel really blessed to have the friends that I do!

Kind of a NSV, I guess!

edellaratta

That is sweet!

janiceclark08

Vicky-I still have a plastic container of some bigger clothes, too. I have gotten rid of alot last year, I kept some of the nicer things. I guess its time to get rid of more. I bought all my new clothes at a thrift store, also. At this point in life, we have all lost weight and said never again, and it slowly crept back on, thats why we're alittle leary, to totally get rid of everything, not being negative, just been there done that.

I'm still here. Losing slowly still but losing something every week and inch loss is phenomenal! I have accepted it's just going to take a while.

@Angelfire365...thanks!

I'm barely here. I'm so embarrassed about the 205 I'm sitting at and I'm trying to get back with the program. It's always hard for me around 200.

Don't be embarrassed...it's all a part of the process. Perhaps your body is trying to regroup, adjust, and heal before moving on.

I am still here holding steady, just need to stop picking during the making dinner process and lunches. I think I pick my way to maintenance. I am trying to play with my macors a little. I know losing is really hard for everybody:(

just don't give up!

vicky1947mfp

At least we are all here. Take care of yourselves.

barbiecat

My experience with other threads and challenges is that a zillion people start out and a small number finish...even if you haven't met the great goals you started with, just staying the course makes you a winner.

Back is doing better but........it's going to get CRAZY this week. Hope the back holds out for it.

I woke up to 201.4 and I'm trying to re break that looking glass. I really felt bad when I tripped out of onederland and thought 200 was behind me for good. I'm working on it.

edellaratta

You are still right there Eninad, you got this!!! Stay positive!! We can fall, we just need to get back up. I have fallen back also but today is a new day and i am trying so hard to get back in the right mind frame. We can do this!!!!!

Eninad

The support here really helps. Thank you all. I will get Onderland back.
