    Hi everyone! I’m Deborah and I need some motivation and support. I am almost 53 years old, married, and have two college age sons who live at home. I work full-time as an administrative assistant at our church. I lost 60 lbs with diet and exercise. I met my goal weight. Now over the last 2.5 years I’ve gained back 26 lbs. I told myself I would not allow myself to gain back the weight, but little by little it crept back on. I am not going to beat myself, nor am I going to make excuses. But I am ready to get back on track. I started logging my food again today. I am good about exercising. I go to the gym at 5:30 am five days a week. It’s the lack of portion control and too many carbs and sweets that have been my downfall. I am going to have difficulty cooking for a few months as we are going to start remodeling our home, which includes a complete gut of our kitchen. But I am not going to allow that to hinder me.

    @DebBahr welcome to the group. Like the no excuses. You are going to have to share what you eat since you have no kitchen to cook. Creative cooking🤗

    Today I just didnt want to get out of bed at all.

    Did stay in my daily calories.

    Water, not so much. That is something I really need to work on more. But it is such a vital part of a workout plan

    Was going to start on the elliptical, honestly I wasn't feeling it. So I did 30 minutes on the stationary bike and welcomed new people to the group. Hope I got everyone.

    Linda 🤗❤

    @echoroyal79 Thanks for the welcome. I will definitely have to be creative. The inability to clean easily will make things especially difficult. Not real excited at the prospect of washing dishes in the bathtub. 😳 But I have only promised “real meals” for dinner for the rest of my family. There are plenty of easy options for the three men I live with for breakfast and lunch. 😊

    Hi there, this is Bell. I've been wanting to shad the excess weight but lacked motivation and support, so it's easy to fall back into bad habits (I'm a junk food addict). It hits me that I've put on 10+ lbs last year and when I tried on a pair of nice knee high boots, I could barely fit into it, that's really alarming, must do something about it. I'm 41, used to lose weight pretty easy as long as I cut back on my junk food intake, not so much now, so it's now or never.

    It's been just a few days, but I started to use MFP to keep track of what I eat, though it's easy to lose track of everything I've eaten, so I created a new IG account yesterday solely for that purpose, taking a pic of everything I devoured, but I know I can't last a month without peer support, so here I am =) It's wonderful and inspiring to see so many success stories, let's do this together!

    @echoroyal79 thanks for leading this group! And yes, I have those days with the elliptical too, lol!!
    So impressed reading all your stories. Weight loss is such a minute by minute commitment!! I decided I didn't want to share my journey with my friends/family because I think it would be too all consuming so it is nice to be able to share and read about your journeys and the highs and lows. We've got this!!

    Stayed under my calorie goal yesterday. Went to the gym yesterday and today. In addition to making healthy food choices today I am going to focus on making sure I am drinking enough water - aiming for 10 glasses a day - and doing something I enjoy.

    Keep up the good work everyone! You got this!

    Had a great day yesterday, finally feeling less sugar cravings after holidays, ha! Worked out and kept calorie goals. Did about 9000 steps. Today I am already almost at goal of 10,000 steps, yay!! Did my strength workout as well, felt good.
    Great job everyone! Let's all have a great weekend!

    Seems everyone's making progress, we've got this! Hit the gym today, spent 30 mins on the elliptical, then another 15 mins on strength training. Ate well, stayed under my calorie goal for the first time since last week, way to go gals! Archery practice tomorrow.
