    Hi everyone, my name is Rita from the U.K, 67 years young, married with two grown up kids and three gorgeous granddaughters. I have struggled with weight all my life but about five years ago with the help of MFP managed to lose around 30 pounds leaving me with a target of another 14 pounds to go (unless when I get there I want to go further). However, they are proving impossible to shift - the same 7 go on and off all the time and I get so disheartened.

    So it’s time to take stock! Food seems to be everything to me from the moment I wake up until I go to bed, so I need to have distractions. So I am sure with your help I will be able to stick with this and not slip into the starve/binge habit I am so used to. Bring it on September!

    Lazy Sunday. All I could do today was to obsess over food, until afternoon, when I gave up and ate a lot

    @Ver9nika that was me basically the last two weeks. There were goodies and chips in the house, plus I was stressed, so I binged, again and again. I got it back together this past week, though, and feel confident I can did this.

    Good luck with Week 1 everybody!

    Day check in for sun sept 1
    Tracked yes
    Calories over 🙁
    Exercise yes 40 jog 15 min walk

    Was my husbands birthday. He asked for me to make him his favorite. Apple crumb cake. So how could I not. And then he decided it need homemade butterscotch ice cream to go with it 🙁. But we had some friends over and even though I had a couple of glasses of wine and the dessert the rest of the day wasn’t terrible. And I did get some exercise in. First time in a while. Let’s see how the rest of the week goes.

    Hi, I’m Rhonda @Handlesgone. i am super excited about joining this group. I’m in my 40s and have been on my journey for a long time. Over the past 14 years, my weight has fluctuated resulting in me gaining about 50 pounds.

    In the past, I enjoyed working out, it was part of my daily routine. I worked out six days a week and made smart food choices. Unfortunately, things changed. I had a very bad ankle sprain, followed by a knee injury. I couldn’t work out like I use to, I missed it. Went back to working out too soon and re-injured myself. I always loved and enjoyed food but my love for food now turned into bad food choices and added pounds. Unfortunately, I acquired 50 pounds and have put myself in the situation where I am now diabetic.

    When I finally decided to get serious again and gain control, I started back exercising. I ended up having to have foot surgery for a painful bunion. The surgery was successful but I’m currently going to Physical Therapy for Achilles tendonitis as well as PT for a torn meniscus.

    I am now working through the pain. I am using swimming as my method of exercise to try to minimize the pain and keep moving, until my Achilles and knee are in better condition.

    I will be posting my stats on Sept 1st but currently, I am 204 pounds and am looking to lose 50 pounds. I am willing to accept 5 pounds monthly as a goal towards losing and keeping off the 50 pounds. With doing all of this, I am hoping to get off of diabetic medication. Most importantly, I want to have energy to keep up with my amazing 5-year old.

    I need and appreciate your support and look forward to this journey together. I am already inspired by the willingness of those who started this challenge, those joining this challenge as well as sharing your stories, and being open to help each other! I just met you but I can already tell you all are amazing!

    Welcome Rhonda to Team Slimsons, here you will get the much needed support and motivation from this group. I also applaud you for continuing on your journey to get healthy despite your set backs with your determination I have faith that you will succeed in your monthly goals.👍🏾👍🏾
