Hi, a little about what i'm dealing with. I'm very devoted...i excersize, diet and logg every meal every day. I lose 10 lb. Then BAM! ....WAIT A MINUTE!? M&M's has a new flavor!? Chocolate and coffee! And just like i'm off again. Ok, so if i lost 30 pounds i'd be excited, happy and jumping out of my skin with joy. Muscle....yup, at 55 years old i'd love to have one. Oh, did i mention my husband is skinny and can stay that way eating all those delicious M&M's.? So, i'm open to idea's\friendships just don't ask me to give up my one cup of coffee with cream and sugar in the morning. Oh, and i don't do breakfast. Well, thanks for reading this far down. :) michelle

    I am going to the beach for a week on Saturday. Had to go bathing suit shopping. Talk about a motivator!! The way I look at it mich102760, we are going to have ups and downs. We are going to have new flavored M&M's and beach vacations but as long as we get back up and keep going, we will succeed. Now let's do this!!!

    OK, so one of my friends brought another new flavor M&M's to the beach. I had to giggle thinking of you posting about the coffee ones. The ones she brought were Chilli. They weren't too hot - just right. Thank goodness she was staying in another room. Haha! Now I want to try the coffee. Oh well. I think my beach trip was a success. I was on vacation for 10 days and I am only up .4 ounces. I was tickled. I did pretty good as far as eating and walking but I did partake in the adult beverages. So I got lots of empty calories. BUT, I am back at it now and hope to have those 4 ounces gone by my Thursday WW weigh in. I hope you did OK over the holiday weekend!!

    It doesn't hurt to reward yourself every now and then. I think I will try the coffee ones, once I hit my 5% goal at WW. I've got a couple more pounds. I will eat them, journal them and move on!!

    Hi - I would like to have some motivational friends also. So far I have lost 20# and some inches! So excited!! Would like to be friends with others also for mutual support. I will be 60 in March 2017 and my goal is 60# by 60. I like to be active and do a walking video 5-6 times a week so that helps. My MFP name is Patricia_AK. Thanks in advance!!

    If you like chocolate buy dark chocolate 60% cacao. They help with the sweet craving but are not loaded with sugar. Less than 10% sugar is good. I like to get Ghirardelli chocolate chips. About a tablespoon stops the sweet craving. ;)
