    Good morning M'agers and Happy Halloween! Don't scare the kids too much tonight.

    Big meeting at work today, cake served during, and I decided I needed croissant for breakfast beforehand to cope!! Managed to stay within the calories but it wasn't the best day's eating, and am out for lunch and dinner tomorrow too. Then I'll knuckle down!
    Happy Halloween for the Americans and Canadians!

    Happy Halloween. I have always loved this day. Dressing up is way too much fun. I need to digboutbmt can costume and make fruit kabobs for the boys class and carve pumpkins then make something for the neighbours pre trick or treat party.

    I spent 2 weeks not catching my wife's cold. Last night my luck ran out. I feel like my head got run over by a Mack truck. :unamused: So here I am sitting at work with a box of tissues, a bottle of hand sanitizer, and tea. Any suggestions for getting rid of cold?

    No. You'll probably have to endure it for another two weeks until it passes.

    Hi everyone. I am on day 3 with about 68 pounds to lose. I turned 46 last August and would love to hit my goal by my next birthday. I am struggling to lose weight right now because of some medication I am taking. I am hoping to beat that side effect.
  • Hi I’m new to the group & exercising. I’m 58 & am going to have an ACL Surgery & have Celiac Disease. I’ve gained over 30lbs due to Meds, Bad Foods & lack of being able to move fast. However I am determined to start walking & eating right to get this weight off in 2019!!!
    Would love some friends on here and support! Deb

    Happy November 1st!!!! Who's headed to the Halloween store for half price costumes???
    I told my son yesterday I have far too many costumes for an adult. He said I don't and then asked me to try to get him this top hat he liked. He's so my kid

    Hi everyone i started my new regime 5 days ago, i am doing a low carb diet and eating once a day , I was kinda too embarrassed to talk on the forums as i have alot of weight to lose, i am currently 140kg (22 stone .. embarrassing) i am trying to get myself to atleast 12 stone so as you can see i have alot to go, my weight problem started when i was a child, i was sexually assaulted by an uncle, and to make it stop i decided to make myself "ugly" i decided to make myself fat (how my child mind saw things), it worked but also stopped me from relationships etc, so i am hoping to turn my life around. i am 42 years old i think its about time i tried to sort myself and put the past behind me.

    Wow. That's brave of you to share your story. Glad that you are focusing on yourself -- you can do it!

    I'm sorry you went through this. I am also a victim of childhood sexual assault. And I did the same, where I would eat food as a comfort and also to make myself unattractive. I just wanted to say that my heart really goes out to you. I have so far lost over 100 pounds and have 120 to go. Do not be embarrassed by having so much weight, I am in therapy and he says it was a coping mechanism and that's how you got through the trauma and you should be thankful to that part of you for protecting you in that way. Above all, stay positive and it will get SO much better. I hope that you are able to get some therapy as well, it does wonders. I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone and you can do this! Just hang in there! <3 Much love to you. Hugs! x

    Hello everyone my name is Lara Grubb I am 41 years old. I hurt my knee on Sept and my orthopedic doctor told me I needed to lose weight or be dead in 5 years. According to when I started better care of myself. I have lost 29 pounds in 6 weeks and that's just changing my diet and doing my physical therapy for my knee. Feel free to add me. Not for sure exactly how this app works yet
