Today's been physically hard with my fibro flaring, but it's all good, I'm down another pound. I'm losing a little faster than I had planned, which I'm good with but surprised by. Guess my body figured it out? (grin) We'll see, anyway
I have a doctor's appointment April 1 and that will be an opportunity to check my weight on their scale and, well, surprise my doctor. I didn't say I was going to try, I just went off and did it after the last visit. (grin) So now that's my short-term goal. I'd like to have a good impressive loss to show her when I go in.6 -

I have a Dr's appointment April 2 and I had told my provider that I was going to lose twenty pounds by the next time I saw her. I can still do it but only if I don't falter.
If nothing goes wrong, my sister has committed to exercise with me, starting tomorrow morning. I ordered a new pair of walking shoes and should receive them any day. Seriously thinking about getting Beachbody on Demand. It looks like something I would enjoy.
I'm very proud of everyone! Keep going!3 -

I intend to say that I'm working on it but I don't want to tell her that I have, after that, a "fifty pounds down" goal by July 1, or anything like that. I will ask her what, medically, they consider goal weight for my height, but other than that, I am kind of keeping it private. (Well, except for you all here!) This is my personal thing, and I'm kind of shy about just putting it out there. That, and sometimes my head gets balky, and if someone in authority wants something my head doesn't want to do it. So I'm attempting to avoid that altogether.

wsierwins3 I have kept all of you in my thoughts this week, wondering how the 1st week went for you. Feel free to come back and tell us how you did.
I know what it's like when the scale decides to play stalemate with you, You feel like throwing that scale where the sun doesn't shine, but hang in there, don't give up. It's only the second month, we are still in the trial and error stage, we CAN do this. We just need to stop one bad food habit at a time. Picture yourself going on a hike, or walking the beach ( whichever your into ), in order to get where your going, you need to take that first step, then another, and another, until you hit that rhythm.4 -

Hi all, is it too late to join? My name is Samantha. I am 44 years old and currently weigh 218 lbs. I have struggled with my weight my whole life but really gained weight steadily after my 3 child was born 7 years ago and even more after I hit 40. I would like to lose about 60 lbs this year, but a short term goal is to get under 200 by the end of May when we are going to Hawaii. I look forward to doing this together!7

Hi Everybody,
Popping in to say hi and tell you I'm still lurking. I've been having some trouble getting to the web version here and I hate typing on my phone so lurking has been easier. But I'm online now and want to say that I am so impressed with how well people are doing. I'm definitely hanging in. I think this is my longest streak of logging and truly working it in years. I almost hate to say that because I don't want to jinx it! I don't weigh in 'til Friday but I think I will have a decent loss for February and I'm looking forward to wearing some of my skinnier clothes once the weather gets nice. I refuse to buy anything new for winter!!!5 -

Headed to a conference today, so I'm hoping for at least one workout opportunity and some healthy food options!1 -
Are new people welcome in this group? I hope so. I knew I needed to lose some weight and did lose and keep off 27 pounds a few years ago. Lost more than that but didn't gain it all back. I was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver disease last week. Only treatment is to lose weight or eventually go into liver failure. So my motivation is high right now. I was also diagnosed with a case of gastritis from being on NAIDs for too long for arthritis and fibromyalgia. This means I am off pain meds and having trouble moving. Hopefully, as I lose weight the pain will decrease and I'll be able to exercise some.

@charlottemilton - if you get a chance and have the resources check out DDPyoga and/or Totalgym. I use both and after a little pain getting going they have helped me move better. regular yoga has also been known to help. Welcome to the group. You can do this! We will help!

Welcome - hapamama & Charlotte, we are here for you whenever you need us. There are quite a few women here who have some awesome advise and helpful hints.
hapamama - I have a good feeling if your mind is into it right now, that you will be under 200 by May with room to spare.
Charlotte - I am in a yoga class and an exercise / balance class that our senior center offers and they are wonderful. I'm 58 and I'm the young pup in the class ( their showing me up actually ), but it's helping me work out at a slower rate.2 -

Feb 28: 224.2 -8.6 pounds in Feb / 21pounds YTD
My Friday weigh-ins for the last couple of weeks have me losing about a pound a week. I knew my 3+ lbs/week losses couldn't go forever so now it's a matter of keeping myself motivated to do the right things without a lot of reinforcement from the scale.
I've been a little baffled by the fact that I've lost over 20 lbs and yet I don't see a huge difference. Sure my clothes hang a bit looser and I am able to fit well into clothes that were tight before, but I haven't actually dropped a size either on top or on the bottom. This makes me think that maybe my clothes were way too tight 2 months ago (erp, how horrifying!) or I'm losing in my feet or ears!
I'm going to keep on keeping on though. I've always been a bit of a gym rat and the one big difference I see is in my level of fitness. I'm able to go much longer and harder than I could just 6 weeks ago and that is a huge NSV for me. I promised myself that I would start running again when I got under 225 (Now!) but I'm super afraid of injury so I may put that off for a few more pounds until I feel a little more stable in my knees and ankles. I'm for sure not as young as I used to be.
Even thought I lurk a lot I am reading every post and enjoying your victories right along with you.
kmiller2350: Woot woot. Almost to Onederland!7 -
Thank you, eppen5. I've been hovering just over 200 pounds for over a week. REALLY hoping to get to Onederland this weekend. A reward of some sort will be in order. Like you, I've been averaging about 1 pound/week. Somewhat discouraging, but every pound lost gets a fist pump when I'm on the scale!4

Jan 30 - 232.5. Jan loss 6.5 lbs

Happy today because two people at work asked if I'd lost weight. I still don't see any difference, but others did!8 -

Wow what a tough month. Lol. My body just didn't want to move in weight and it was infuriating. Then I woke up one morning and my pants had to be held up all day. lol. 5 a month is RIGHT where I want to be at for losing. So I'm very happy.
Today I finally got new Jean's and I'm down to a 16. I've been so anxious to get here since I havent been in a size 16 in so long. Getting to an 18 was depressing for me because that was the highest I had ever been. I got all the way dow. To a 10 before my knee injury 4 years ago. So watching myself get to an 18 hurt. But here I am. And theres more progress to be had!!!4 -

Hi Stella7x7. I had The Cough for all of January. It was so bad I think I sprained my ribs from coughing. What finally helped me was flonase. I'm not a doctor and don't play one on tv, just passing along what worked for me. The cough is terrible!
